It's all fun and games until Twitter bans access from Germany.

That would be glorious and good for Germany.

I don't see any empty shelves here. I did ~6 weeks ago; 2 days before the store temporarily closed for renovation. I think it reopens in 2 weeks.

Last time we had empty shelves were during initial covid panic, mostly toilet paper, flour & yeast. And some stores are currently not having any Mars (American) products atm, cause there are some ongoing conflict between those stores & Mars about the pricing.

Yeah, some large US Tier1 ISPs have basically banned KF.

It's for guys who can only live in extremes and cannot moderate their own behaviour. Either never jerking it or jerking multiple times a day. Both are shit options.

It's like with alcohol - either people are completely dry or drunk all the time. The willpower to moderate the drinking is just not there. Meanwhile normal people occasionally drink something and maybe even get drunk a few times a year and that's it.

My parents have friends who have a daughter. She is currently finishing her MSc in (astro)physics and has the change to do a PhD (prof already made her an offer).
She is instead considering pursuing her "twitch" career. She currently streams on the side and is making a whole of ~100€ per month and "already got invited to some twitch events for networking" (who were telling her she will be big).
She thinks if she focuses on that she will be more successful. Problem though is - she isn't great looking. She looks okay (6-7), but nothing like successful streamers.

Will be interesting to see how this develops (I don't really know her, so I don't really care).

Traditional values are a requirement for a strong family core. Strong family ties make you more resilient to tranny grooming attacks. Of course they hate that.

I sometimes visit r/dota2 (like now around TI). Sometimes a bit of r/soccer - I use German forums for my local team, but occasionally want to watch some cool goals in other leagues without watching a whole game. r/GameDeals if there's a cool deal for a game (or free stuff like currently Genesis Alpha One on GOG).
Same really small / niche subs.

I never used the big subs in general (so never news/science/politics/...).

"Having to carry a random woman at the workplace while receiving half of the salary" vs "Having to carry a woman I like while receiving full salary"

Yeah, I'd chose the 2nd one.

and I can occasionally refer to my notes/prior work.

Say so during those tests. You are encouraged to talk during those tests. "Hey, I wrote something very similar for X, I would look up which library I have to import and how the function is named. Alternatively I would look up the API to get the function name".
It isn't really important if you forgot if you access a vector's size by .size or .length (well you should know that in your language of choice, but you get the point). A good interviewer would then tell you if it's .size / .length to keep you going and not weight it against you.

Same with the example from OP - if you forgot how the 3d rotation matrix around the x-axis looks like... say you would look it up. If you want bonus points say where the "1" is placed, but where you have the "-" is ... not important to your skill as a programmer.

Look at this wiki page. They gave her the first R (the 2x2 matrix with sin/cos).
They showed her how matrix-vector multiplication works (the Rv = stuff example).

And they wanted her to program that. Basically this:

2dvector rotate(2dvector v, double theta) {
r[0] = v[0] * cos(theta) - v[1] sin(theta)
r[1] = v[0] * sin(theta) + v[1] cos(theta)
return r }

Of course you can do more fun stuff depending on your language of choice (pass by reference/copy, initialize vars, ...), maybe you have to import a math lib for cos/sin, ... but that is the absolute basic.
It's "Here's a math formula, please make the PC do it".

The National Socialists biggest argument was that they were a complete alternative, almost centrist, party that would keep the benefits of Socialism, Progressive Nationalism, and institutionalize the Volkish movement (which was an ahistorical revisionism of German history into myth).

This is correct. Here is their 25 point plan

You also have established movies like Robin Hood with Kevin Kostner (and Morgan Freeman) where a black character from an area of the world, where the show doesn't take place, is part of the main cast.
Nothing would've stopped the RoP team to get 2-3 people from Umbar to be relevant characters. Make something up how they got there (and how they befriended other main characters) and why they are staying. Hell maybe let them have connections back to Umbar and when they need help 4-5 ships from Umbar arrive (with all black crews) to help out in a battle or something.
(I haven't watched RoP, so no clue if that would be viable)

Correct you can see this with lesbian / gay subs on reddit. Every single lesbian sub (including "actuallesbians") have been overrun with trans redditors. Tons of mod positions are also held by them and they radically delete & ban people from questioning that narrative. Other subs that tried to be woman only lesbians got banned.
On the other hand you have gay subs like askgaybros that shit on people who try to bring trans agenda onto them.

Here's a thread about the topic on the latter sub.

It contains a link to this fun statistic about the user overlap of "lesbian" subs.

And with this statement the incel problem is already solved.
Since incels have the options to fuck trans "women", but don't want to they have become volcels.

You make it sound like it's not intentionally happening and just random chance that they're too stupid to see the hypocrisy.

They do this intentionally. Always remember their slogan "no bad tactics, only bad targets".

The funny thing is that Obama's birth certificate does have strange pixel errors (the same pixel errors are present at various places in the document) that couldn't be explained back at the time.
By now we know about the Xerox scanner bug which is quite likely the source for those pixel errors (they scan one character and placed this image at every location where they also found the char).

Basically we are now - years later - capable of explaining what went wrong. Before that everyone was like "oh... yeah... conspiracy theory!" and couldn't explain it.

A complete season of Cobra Kai vs 1-2 episodes of the other.
Not really a good comparison.

"That time period, by the way, maps to episode 4 of House Of The Dragon, “King Of The Narrow Sea,” and episode 3 and a bit of episode 4 of Rings Of Power. It also maps to all of Cobra Kai season 5 (and all the seasons before it),"

Aren't most big targets in PGO large landmarks where random people constantly hang out anyway? So unless you show up at 3am alone there are other people around. And then you can decide for yourself if you want to join a group of other PGO players if you head to another landmark.

And of course Niantic is pushing social features. If you are part of the local group of players you will form light friendships which will keep you playing for longer compared when you only play alone. That's the entire business model of the game.
