Don't give a fuck if the sausage is vegan

Obviously you cannot force or expect anyone to be comfortable with what they are not comfortable with. That's their comfort zone, and it is valid. That said, I know what that feels like, and it sucks.

I am an older bi man that's been out to most people since the 1980s. Reaction from straight guys was very binary. Either they didn't care, or they avoided me altogether. Cut and dry. Girls was a completely different thing. With one or two exceptions, they never really threw hate my way but almost all of them treated me like "other". Even those that were friendly never hugged me, etc. Most of the ones that did touch me just wanted to have sex. Now that I am older I know that is called fetishising. Still, no hugs, etc.

Many people need things to be cut and dry in order to be able to let their guard down. I don't know if it is the same for you but, I found myself being shunned in varying degrees by both genders, including homosexuals and heterosexuals. Eventually I understood that I could not change how people felt so I focused on people that were fine with who I was and let go of those that were not fully OK with me. No hard feelings.

Your friends probably like you well enough, they just can't get past some things. That is their problem, let them sort it out. In the meantime, get yourself a crew that is ok treating you like they treat everyone else.

In 2025, living in a van down by the river is peak luxury.

I started using pirated software in 1990, back when my first PC was gifted to me. All software I had was copied because I could not afford jack shit on my own. It is thanks to pirated (and open source) software that I have the career I have, and can afford to spend thousands of dollars on legitimate software, music, movies, books, etc.

Provide product people want and prices they can afford, and they'll buy them rather than pirate them. Don't persecute consumers of pirated products and most of them will eventually purchase legally.

Bruv...no judgment. If I lived in an area with truly good actors available, I'd pay someone to pretend to be genuinely happy to see me.

Movie bad.
Short story good.

This meme is me, and I hate it.

As the article title states, unlike Elon Musk, Tesla pulls out.

Is it possible to orgasm from schadenfreude?

Honestly, the paint is an aesthetic upgrade.

Dumb shit wasn't masked?!? EVs, especially Teslas, record their surroundings.

Anyway, the paint will come right off the stainless steel with a little mineral spirits or lighter fluid. Its a good thing they did not splash it with a 1:1 ratio mix of ferric chloride and distilled water. That would have been unfortunate.

The langoliers are coming.

This is my favorite sliced one. Some others are very oily when melted. Others are sweet. Others need to be cast into a deep pit, never to see the light of day again.

6. It's always 6.

Super Firm Tofu. The vacuum sealed stuff.

I quit eating eggs in late 2018. At the time, a dozen eggs were well south of $2. I don't think prices increased much until COVID hit. So that's ~$2 to ~$10 in five years. Given that eggs and milk are staple foods, I can see why people would be highly concerned.

I feel this meme in my soul...and lower back...and my knees.
