How does that not translate to "our soldiers are gunning down 12-year-olds" even if it was true? Wonder how many magat military families are proud of their kids for that. Fuckin wild

Goddamn I want to leave this country, but no one wants immigrants from the US and I don't blame them

95* meetings

I had no idea he existed, but that was a dope ass cover. I'll check his other stuff out, thanks!

CHERYL: Like, a big sweaty fireman carries you out of a burning building, lays you on the sidewalk, and you think, "Yeah, okay, he's gonna give me mouth to mouth." But instead, he just starts choking the shit out of you, and the last sensation that you feel before you die is him squeezing your throat so hard that a big, wet, blob of drool drips off his teeth and just "flurr", falls right onto your popped out eyeball...

PAM: Jesus Christ!

CHERYL: I know, right?

LANA: What the hell!

CHERYL: I'm wet just thinking about it.

Same, except I bounced off somewhat earlier at first. Have nowhere near your hours though.

Also Death Stranding. Excellent game once I was in the right headspace.

OP, just curious, which version of that song was going through your head for the title?

I mean, Martian was somewhat decent but Artemis felt like a slog. Dude is not great at writing women. I think if people aren't picking you up, maybe.... write... better? Sounds like a prick, and he definitely has room for improvement

When is her rebuttal expected?

I'd take ambition motivated by passion, not by greed. Wanna be the best concert violinist in the world and put Itzhak Perlman to shame? Absolutely. Want to change the scientific world like Curie, Faraday? Be my guest. But if your goal is money, market share, or capital, gtfo my face and swipe left

Quarians in Mass Effect

Specifically regarding the suit and dedication required for the fetish though:

Quarian immune systems have always been relatively weak, as pathogenic microbes were comparatively rare in their homeworld's biosphere. Furthermore, what few viruses and other microbes were native to their homeworld were often at least partly beneficial to them, giving them a symbiotic relationship with their environment. After living aboard the Migrant Fleet for generations, the quarians' immune systems have atrophied further still due to the years in the sterile environment of the Migrant Fleet. As such, quarians are given various vaccinations and immunizations to help ward off disease. However, they prefer the safety of their suits even in clean environments and are reluctant to remove them without a good reason.

A quarian who wishes to remove their suit must take antibiotics, immuno-boosters, herbal supplements, or the like in order to do so safely, and even then there are inherent risks. As a result, physical acts of affection are difficult for quarians, even for the purposes of reproduction. Ships in the Migrant Fleet often contain "clean rooms" where quarians can give birth or undergo medical procedures in relative safety, though there are always risks. The most intimate thing quarians can do is link their suit environments. However, doing so guarantees a quarian will get sick, although they will usually adapt over time

Not just the double-slit for quantum mechanics, but it applies to people too. In a workplace, the second you start evaluating performance based on a metric, it ceases to be a useful metric. Why? Because people will shit the bed willingly in every other aspect of their job if it makes the number their boss looks at better. At that point, "highest performers" are really just the best bullshitters who can fake short-term benefits in lieu of long-term solutions, and all of them just make things worse overall.
