Legalized prostitution is liberal, though. Worker’s rights, protection, medical care… in every country with legalized prostitution, prostitutes have a better deal.

Note that I’m not saying that legalized prostitution is always good - human trafficking is still an issue. I’m just saying it’s a better environment than places where prostitution is illegal.

There may be liberals who see prostitution as exploitation, but more broadly, legalized prostitution is more supported by liberals.

$20? No. $200? Still no. $2,000. Nopers.

But $100,000 USD? Yeah. That’s dick-sucking money. Now, if it came with caveats - swallowing, whatever - probably no. But for $1,000,000, I’d swallow.

It’s, like, eating human shit. Assuming it’s been sanitized and I’m not going to get some illness from it, for $1M, I’d do it. There isn’t a lot that’s not life-threatening I wouldn’t do for a million dollars, especially if it’s under a half-hour’s work.

$1M would dramatically reduce my retirement age.

But $20? There’s not a lot I would do that I normally wouldn’t for $20.

You have to have something they want. Either a really good con, like… an idea to convert public schools to prisons, or something. They’re not just going to give you money just because you kiss their asses; they have a shitload of authentic rabid fanatics.

But if you think you’ve got a good con, do it for the cause, not because it’ll embarrass them. If you could somehow embarrassed Trump, you could find yourself with new lodging at Guantanamo, and good luck getting anyone in the lethal system to successfully get you out.

Neither of them are “givers”. They’re both con men themselves, so I think trying to bilk them is going to be challenging.

Gimme.

It’s got everything: ePaper, hardware keyboard… I’m not hugely fond of ESP32, but you can’t best the battery life on devices that use it. I have a BangleJS watch that’s ESP32-based with an ePaper display, and I get over a week between recharges.

I didn’t realize it until a couple of years ago (back when he was popular, I was into different stuff), but he’s made some really good songs!

Sheeeit. If this were how my family asked me too troubleshoot their printer, I actually would.

I love that song. Every time I follow a link, I listen to the while thing.

It’s a great song.

Oh, wait, Friends? Yeah, not a fan of the show, so the intro music has no meaning for me.

Hmmm… Do I subject myself to another ear worm? Is it worth it?

Never heard it.

I know a lot of wildlife rescuers are concerned about imprinting. Is this an issue with bats? Or, when presented with other bats, are they, like, thanks for the bananas, see ya!

The real Gary Larson here. The joke is that that isn’t really grass; it’s a field of pampas!

I think the diagrams for 1 and 2 are swapped.

This is so wrong in so many ways, from the misspelling of “you’re,” to the Overbury misquote about beauty being skin deep.

Thank you! No problem. I do that all the time.

You can refuse to disobey an illegal order. The military has a fairly clear list of what constitutes “illegal,” like executing unarmed non-combatants. The UCMJ makes allowances for this; it protects you from being court martialed for refusing to obey an order. However, the soldier doesn’t get to decide whether the order of illegal; it can’t just be something they disagree with, like invading Canada.

I do believe that, if such circumstances came about, a soldier could probably get away with a fairly broad interpretation of “illegal orders.” However, this is mostly theoretical.

First, if you thought peer pressure on high school was bad, it’s nothing compared to the Army.

Second, it doesn’t stop there from being immediate consequences, some of which might very well result in you being dead, many of which would just make your life hell. There are an almost unlimited number of legal orders you could be given that would make your life hell.

Third, it’s really predicated on the illegal order being given fairly low down the chain. If the commander of the US forces sends down orders to kill all the orphans in a town, the USMC isn’t going to help.

Fourth, the person giving you the order could threaten to kill you, right there, unless you obey. Sure, they might get in trouble later, but that doesn’t really help you now, does it? And maybe they won’t get in trouble. Maybe they say they gave you some other legal order you disobeyed, and no-one is willing to gainsay them.

But really, your question is whether there’s any protection if you disagree with an order, and the answer is “no.” There’s a narrow set of defined “illegal orders” which you can, theoretically, disobey.

In peacetime, you can decide to become a conscientious objector, and look forward to spending some time in prison. Once you join, you have almost no option for rejecting a legal order, without facing some sort of punishment.

I didn’t see anything where the customer was suggesting the server should bypass the rules. I was talking about the Anon responder who mocked the Anon customer for bitching about the policy.

I’m with the customer on this. The responder is singer sort of shill who probably is responsible for decisions at their company that nickle and dime customers with hidden fees.

Fuck those deceitful bloodsuckers.

Well, I don’t use Wayland, and Qt and Chromium are going to completely new to my system, but maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Cheers

Luakit has a lot of problems. The biggest one right now is that it has some scrolling bug where it just… won’t. It’s extremely annoying, but it beats having to kill -9 Nyxt multiple times an hour because it hard-freezes.

Why haven’t I tried Qute? Is it keyboard-control oriented?
