Ha, yeah. I think every guy has had this happen. It’s amazing how quickly it can go from, “All you want is sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111” to “Why didn’t you want SEX??!??!?! What is wrong with you, are you gay??!?!?!?!?!”
Another thing I will never understand. So glad I’m not dating anymore.
Loss of trust in wife after scam.
If I had a partner so stupid I’d leave her. I’m lucky, though; mine would never fall for something so cockamamie as this.
Which is one of the many, many reasons I am with her.
This and housing costs is the main reason we rejected immigrating to Canada. They have really screwed themselves over hard.
Even though it does not get that cold here, I will be glad when evil winter is done. It’s always possible to get cooler if you have money, but no matter what I never seem to get fully warm in winter.
That’s sadly correct. Most “welfare” is given to the already well-off or wealthy. These include the mortgage interest deduction, subsidies, tax breaks all over the place, plum government no-negotiation exclusive contracts, regulation that favors incumbents, copyright, patents and many, many others.
Men have been told repeatedly and with great vitriol in the past to butt out of such discussions as it isn’t about us and our opinions are irrelevant, even if they support fighting against such things as the horror of what was done to Gisèle Pelicot.
So you got the world you demanded. Turns out it wasn’t so great, eh? Congratu-fucking-lations. And now I am minding my own business again, as requested incredibly often in the past. Enjoy.
I like the mood lighting I have going on near my desk now. The lamp can do regular lighting colors too, but I’ve been leaving it like that as bias lighting. I can actually read better with it that way1.
The remote for the lamp is confusing as all hell, but I like the lamp itself. And that’s straight out of the phone — no manipulation or alteration (other than the phone doing what it does, since it was not shot in raw).
Twitter is full of Nazis and MAGAs while Bluesky mostly consists of liberals saying absolutely unhinged shit like, “The unhoused should get a free rape or two, or an immolation (their preference) so as to right past wrongs and achieve equity.”
What the fuck has happened to people? The world has gone so nutty. Social media and information overload is I think just inherently unhealthy for most.
❗️/1. Russian air defense most likely caused the crash of an Embraer 190 passenger plane during UAV attack on Chechnya:

Probably a Russian Pantsir-S1 AA system with the 57E6 missile did this. Most likely, it was tuned for a smaller target so it exploded far away enough from the plane that it didn’t immediately bring it down, but damaged it significantly with shrapnel1. If it’d been the missiles from the S-300/S-400s the plane would’ve broken apart mid-air due to the far larger warhead even if the detonation was distant.
We really need to evict Russia from Ukraine and prevent WWIII. It’s not too late. Soon it will be, but it’s not now.
There’s no way to know exactly how damaged the avionics systems and flight controls were, but not sure why the pilot put it down like this as they obviously had some control.

Why was the landing gear extended? I think the procedure if you’re not sure you’re going to make a runway is only try to put the gear down at the last moment as if you have to land on a non-runway it’s more survivable. It might’ve just run out of fuel (tanks pierced by shrapnel) is why the nose-down like that at the end.
Still, though, it got hit by a damn missile. Hard to criticize without knowing more details.
