A candidate who couldn't make it to the first primary in her last campaign for this position too! I felt what I could only describe as "meta-unease" about her.

If I felt so unmotivated, how uninspired was everyone else?

Also I think the racial rhetoric from the Dems is turning some Black voters off.

Do people seriously conciously fantasize about taking part in erotic acts with real people (especially ones they have feelings for)?

Yes.

I kinda get the disrespect perspective, maybe. I felt that a little as a teen. But then I thought it probably wasn't respectful treating my crush in my mind like a sort of sexless statue or object rather than a real human being that I was in love with and wanted to have sex with.

Because they're also rich. Laws are for the poors.

I feel like maybe research on medical implants like this should be done by the state.

It would not need to be trained on CP. It would just need to know what human bodies can look like and what sex is.

AIs usually try not to allow certain content to be produced, but it seems people are always finding ways to work around those safeguards.

Depends. Are you a Louisiana Republican legislator?

Also mind that soon these new cars will be used cars with the same bullshit.

It is honestly impressive that with (presumably) only hard work, an education, a lifetime of business experience, and the kindness of strangers, he was able to work his way up to 6.4% of his goal.

A regular Ozymandias, that one.

Keycaps (mander.xyz)

Hey folks. I was wanting to get a new set of keycaps for my work computer's keyboard, but I'm having a little trouble finding a set that seems like a good fit. I'm fishing for suggestions here.

I'm looking for a set with XDA profile and a darker color scheme (the base is black). Most XDA profile caps I've seen on AliExpress seem to be on the lighter side, and most darker caps aren't XDA profile.

And ideas?

What do you mean it's only IPAs here?

Why there's also Double IPAs, triple IPAs, quad IPAs, Imperial IPAs, every kind of fruit-infused IPAs, hazy IPAs, seasonal IPAs, limited edition IPAs, New England style IPA, West Coast Style IPAs, wheat IPAs, rye IPAs, oat IPAs, Session IPAs, red IPAs, and non-alcoholic IPAs.

And if none of that appeals to you we also have a limited edition seasonal dry-hopped pils that according to the menu tastes like an IPA.

If it's a luxury, isn't it almost by definition "something you can live without?"

Murdoch owns WSJ, Bezos owns The Washington Post.

Stock market? The thing where you buy tiny fractional ownership of of a company, too small to influence it, then try to sell that legal construct for a little more to someone else later? Why would you need that at all?
