I'm mostly so, sooo much worse in my dreams/nightmares. Dream me makes waking me look like a saint. A saint that has any idea at all what they are doing, and that's a big ask vs waking me.
I mean, most SFW stuff seems to end up labeled NSFW there as well. Personally, I only look at my "Following" tab. "For You" just seems to assume I'm a thirsty weeb.
I've found those. At a local store in Baghdad. Never seen such make it to Best Buy, Target, or even Radio Shack. Might as well buy a USB Killer from AliExpress and skip the "double-ended" non-sense.
Maybe if they are making their own. Such cords sold at retail will either have the power leads disconnected, or a chip like USB C uses to only connect power as negotiated between the devices.
Had hope when the first frame with its face covered made it look a bit like a Sphinx, and after stopping it to save my sanity less than 5 seconds in ... yep, that's the nicest by far thing I have to say about this(I guess what I saw of the animation was smooth?).
Mis-cast Fluttershy as the New Generation Pegasus Princess.
Quest For Glory(not really D&D, but old) had them as a Grey, Pot-bellied, lanky, human-heightish, short-eared magical Goblinoid(holy shit: Endermen?). I never encountered any refference to them in western literature with either dog features or lizard tails or scales until some of the more recent Forgotten Realms books; Their presence always seemed like an after-thought. I mostly read the D&D novels though.
Never occoured to me that any dog-people I saw in anime or manga were kobolds, nor that those came into Japanese media through D&D, but un-like D&D, a lot of them were named characters that did stuff.
Still haven't seen a depiction of a lizard-Kobold. Sounds more like a Dragon-born's pet.
Who said anything about setting up a tax deduction? I'm setting up an indirect benefit to others that counts as an illiquid asset. It's not an investment since its purpose isn't profit, and its not charitable since I remain in control.
Pay attention to the genie's criteria, and realize: for anyone actually trying to do some good, the IRS criteria might as well be so capricious and arbitrary. With that kind of money and a lot of these organizations, I would rather donate it directly, yes, but there are also plenty of organizations and causes where more money in the pot means more CEO and middleman pay. That, and the IRS, don't have to count as a valid reason to withhold a single penny for someone that's supposedly capable enough to have any business managing such a large amount.
Funny thing about trusts: You can set them up so you retain ownership and control until you die. So sure, giving it away, but in the future. I could also be petty later, dissolve the trusts and sell-off the land, though with the rest of the money coming from the Genie, I should never come close to needing to do that.
First up: Capital gains Taxes. That's $12,000,000 off the top. Next, buying the properties of all my favorite charities, museums, libraries, restraunts, stores, and setting up trusts to keep taxes and such paid on those in perpetuity ... That alone should do it, within a large enough radius, but anyways ... buy up the most inefficient air-planes, cruise-liners, cargo ships I can find and straight up ground/dock them or upgrade them to fix those inefficiencies. Make sure the planes are never flown again, at least not at night.
Dear God Please No. Anyone but her, Hillary, or Klobuchar. I don't recall knowing anything about this Mark Kelly dude prior to a few days ago, but that in itself might as well be a goddamn Medal of Honor next to what I know of them.
Hell, I voted Bush over John Kerry in '04, and while I still don't care for the "turn in your guns for healthcare" strategy they lost with then and earlier with Gore, I can pinch my nose and vote for that quicker than seeing half my neighbors, family, and friends deported, dragged off to internment/conversion camps, or just plain killed.
