Legend says he can identify the usable IP range before witnessing the subnet mask.

Ah yes, those notorious underage groomers.

“I’m sorry, my lord. It appears we were only able to jerk off Han Solo and this one snowspeeder metal fabrication tech.”

In your part of the world there’s no cops, no one owns firearms, and there’s just no crime?

Absolutely not, I’m all for defunding the police but if your idea of a peaceful country doesn’t involve someone owning and being willing to defend themselves with firearms you’re just living in a fantasy where crime just magically doesn’t exist.

Three notifications on the hour and one five minutes ago, sounds like he’s a two pump chump and on round 2.

I’d watch AotC a dozen times back to back before watching TLJ again.

Pound-seconds, I believe. Good ol’ LM giving imperial numbers to NASA.

I mean idk about Jinx, she’s more or less just a traumatized wreck with huge guns than anything, but Vi absolutely. Caitlin will get there but her upper crust naivete that’s never been challenged until she goes to Zahn kinda stifles that. Hoping she gets a bigger dose of reality and it changes her character more significantly (just not enough screentime in the last part, really) in season 2.

quietly ignores Rebel Moon and her abysmal performance, and not just the writing either.

No, they’re saying that as a person they don’t really care about it when relating to characters. We experience things as human beings, not by sexual orientation or sexual identification.

Unless the specific human experience is related to sex/gender in some way, we feel what others feel and relate to them based on the character work and related narrative elements. Not just “is man/woman, please relate.”

Maybe people just don’t find the same meme posted 309 times to be that interesting of content.

System Shock 2 for old school, Prey (2017) for a more recent one.

Well for starters your assessment of your own attractiveness might be overstated, it’s also possible that it’s accentuated by poor grooming, fashion, or fitness standards.

So let’s assume you just have an unattractive face, full stop. Do you have a patchy beard? Maybe keep it only in areas where you grow hair more fully like a goatee, or clean shave if you don’t have any areas where it grows well. Make sure your hairstyle fits the shape of your face, if you have a longer more oval-like shape a fade on the sides and longer on top works well. If you have a round face then longer hair usually pairs well with that as it helps even out the width.

Physically you’ll need to be in better shape than most, if just to keep up. You don’t need to be a body builder necessarily, but having muscle and a beer gut looks better than being “skinny-fat” as they say. A lot of the stigma around short guys surrounds us not being as capable of defending ourselves and our families due to size, but anyone who’s ever been in martial arts can tell you weight is more important than height, and while height can allow higher weight capacity, not every tall guy gets shredded. Being bigger will help offset that stigma, the worst thing a short guy can be is scrawny.

Also important is personal hygiene, I’ve always been complimented on this especially when getting head, and believe me it’s the quickest way to show someone you have attention to detail. If you can get and afford baby wipes they make a great finisher so you can actually get clean after going to the bathroom, and take showers regularly.

Now this last part is the hardest since it has no tangible existence that can be measured, but you have to accept a couple of truths. Keep in mind when I say these things that I myself am 5’4-5’5" depending on time of day so I’m not some 6’ chad giving you useless info. I have LIVED this for a large part of my existence.

1. Everyone has preferences, and it’s OK that some women need their guy to be taller than them. It sucks, but no matter who you are there’s a guarantee you won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s just life.

2. Think of these preferences as a filter, the women that care aren’t your dating target anyways. Find the ones that don’t seem to mind and focus on those.

3. Even the women that don’t mind WILL be turned off the more you harp on how being a short guy is the cause of all your problems. You must be the bigger man when it comes to this, if you get made fun of find a way to respond that doesn’t show you’re insecure about it even if you are, but getting angry is the one thing you absolutely cannot do. It’s literally the goal of people who ridicule you to make you angry so they can point and go “look at the pissed off short guy he’s such a stereotype.” You have to rise above this in social situations until the person making fun of you for it is seen as the weird one for focusing on it so much. It’s the only way to win. Either way you have to reframe the way you see yourself so that you’re not a victim. It’s the most difficult part of the mental hurdle to overcome but you’ll not see success until you do.

No, this is how we discovered fusion.

Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.

“I don’t support the prison industrial complex, but when I do I choose Dos Equis.”

Just out of curiosity, what other violent crimes do get a pass for “not knowing it was wrong?”

Like do you believe that people can assault other people with weapons without knowing it was wrong? Can they beat their wives and not know it was wrong?

You seem to have a weird hangup on rape in particular in comparison to other violent crimes when it comes to “knowing it was wrong.”

I’m pretty sure the MS13 guys that butcher people know it’s wrong they just don’t give a shit. I’m sure people who use physical violence to get what they want know it’s wrong but they just don’t care.

Stupid standard, people can rationalize any crime rape ain’t special.

True but they were back before the election and those same conservatives he appointed told him to cram his election fraud narrative.

Plus it’s just in favor of conservatives, not stacked completely.

Yeah I’ve noticed I’m spending less and less time here the more every community either devolves into doom and gloom politics or Linux.

Reddit sucks, Tildes is too small to matter, but Lemmy just doesn’t have any kind of variety whatsoever. The niche communities all died out in June after the people who thought they’d be kick starting them for the reddit Exodus had to carry them with no conversation or posts, and now it’s just this shit in every community.
