I'm a dude and a cucumber definitely doesn't seem like it would feel great going in and out. It's bumpy and the skin is pretty coarse. A banana definitely sounds like a more logical choice.

I still remember about 20 years ago a female friend told me that she masturbated using a bottle of Bawls energy drink (IDK if they even still make the stuff). It was a glass bottle that was bumpy all over (think of the divots on a golf ball, but inverse) and she apparently used it on her clit/vulva.

When I was a horny pre-teen boy and had no idea how to actually beat off, I discovered that rubbing a silk/nylon pillow with pictures of cats on it felt really good.

JD Vance fucked a couch.

Not the best...

• I haven't been able to find a job in my field (IT) for about a year, any opportunities which I think I have secured are ripped out from under me at the last moment. Two weeks ago I was waiting on hearing back about a 4th and final interview with CrowdStrike...then they screwed up 8 million Windows PCs and cost businesses about 5.5 billion dollars.
• My brother has come to terms with his alcoholism and it's been a rough few months for my parents. He's 42 and has a 4 year old daughter, and her mother is an absolute nightmare to deal with (they aren't together). My brother lives nextdoor to my parents ...but I live 1300 miles away. We thought he was doing pretty well for the past month...but it turns out he was eating like the equivalent of one piece of beef jerky a day (in total) and not drinking any liquids other than (a reduced amount of) alcohol. He has been on blood pressure medication and apparently mistakenly doubled up on that, passed out at the top of his outside steps one night last week, fell down the steps and broke two of his front teeth badly. He's been in the hospital for the past few days so they can get him stable. My parents are going to recommend in-patient recovery to him, because he wants to get sober, but can't really manage to do it himself. My parents are 67 and 74, so it's a ton of stress on them as well.
• And the least of my problems: my short term memory is terrible (I'm 38 with ADHD). I've been attempting to learn how to dance Casino (Cuban Salsa), but I can't remember a damn thing, I have practically zero rhythm, and my body is fucked up from minor scoliosis in two places which throws off my weight/center of balance and makes me shoulders tight (I'm "round shouldered"). I've gone to about 30 classes, but I'm still stuck on the very basics 😑
• Also just feeling like shit today, physically, but that's because I was up until 5 AM playing a board game with a few friends and took too much Ambien (I've been taking it on and off for about 20 years and steadily for the past 9 months or so while talking to a psychiatrist about my insomnia) because even though I had been awake for about 20 hours I was still pretty alert.

I just keep telling myself it could be a hell of a lot worse though.

What board games? A few friends and I spent nine hours (we agree, it was ridiculously long, we were expecting 4-5 hours) playing Clash of Clans Last night. We started actually playing around 8:30 PM and finished at 5 AM.

Essentially what it comes down to is that the manufacturers don't have to give you the experimental treatments. You can request them, but there's nothing forcing them to comply with your request.

Agreed, people always forget that Google is a company or to make money, they don't provide all of these services out of the kindness of their hearts.

The reason for this is because switching from Windows to Linux is a lot bigger change, requiring a fair amount of technical know-how, and even knowing that Linux exists in the first place. Swapping browsers is easy in the technical sense, it's breaking the habit that's the hard part, but if they piss people off enough all it takes is uninstalling it in order to break the habit, not a drastic paradigm shift. I'm a long time Chrome user, like over a decade and with the recent "unverified download" nonsense unless you enable their invasive tracking has put me over the edge. I had both the Chrome and Firefox icons pinned to the taskbar and just out of habit kept clicking it, I finally removed it last week

Also, there's like 10 per webpage, and then you have the damn pop-ups when you scroll 🤬

Every time I turn off uBlock and reload a webpage I'm like "JFC this is eye cancer".

Why does every "anchor" on Fox News have that certain diction/inflection where it's like they're asking a question and ending it mid-sentence, but then decided to continue? I thought it was specific to Tucker, but I guess not

Agreed, this is the dumbest thing ever. I get that they're trying to make them look bad, but I'm sure over half the people with kids have told their young child to shut the hell up when they're on the phone with someone "important".

I was gonna say "only $25 for a concert t-shirt?" because they wanted like $50 for one at a Pantera concert about 6 months ago...then I saw this was over a decade ago.

A) it's a horrible idea from a security standpoint

B) all the anti-piracy groups would probably have a heart attack and attempt to shut it down in any way possible

C) it's a lot more expensive for the band to pay for this type of distribution compared to CDs

D) it will most likely end up as e-waste

May I introduce you to Ally The Piper

I'm 38 and man, you sound like you're 75 🤣

I'm assuming you haven't been to a concert in a few decades? I went to see Pantera and Lamb of God about 6 months ago and the only merch being sold was overpriced t-shirts, like $45-50 USD.

You know he'd completely fuck up the answer and go on ranting about migrants crossing the border, inflation, how smart he is and other rants. In previous interviews on Fox News they have handed him simple questions on a platter which were written to make him look like a good guy...and he completely screws it up and makes him self look like an idiot. It's actually pretty hilarious.

Nice! I'll give this a try at some point. The only reason I still have Windows 10 on my desktop is because playing and modding Skyrim via MO2 is an absolute nightmare on Linux. The last time I tried it (about two years ago) it was far more trouble than it was worth and I ended up getting about 15 FPS on a GTX 2080.

They're "push" updates so it's not something you have to do. Also, it would only affect you if your laptop was running Falcon Endpoint Protection.

It caused me to not get a job there (I had been interviewing with them for a Linux Engineer position for a few weeks beforehand).

Other than that, it didn't affect me at all.

It's because AI is the new buzzword that has replaced "machine learning" and "large language models", it sounds a lot more sexy and futuristic.
