The university I went to told us not to bother with unpaid internships, because it’s just a sign the company doesn’t care about you. Paid internships pretty much always still give college credit.

Netflix’s content has gotten so much worse too. I don’t think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I’m interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

If snakes are her hair, does that mean she essentially has Hobbit feet?

As with most bleeding edge technology, all the danger comes from capitalism, and not the technology itself.

I hate crowd work. Getting called on while on a night out is my worst nightmare

“Double indemnity!”

Do you see people with the Unsalted decals as well? There are a ton of those here in Michigan, with the same font, and I’ve seen them in surrounding states as well. Maybe the areas on the border should get Brackish stickers lol

It really feels like we’re peasants, gathered by the fire, gossiping fearfully about the prospect of a succession war

hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

Plus, Bard can Cure Wounds themselves

There’s a lot of science fiction where the rules of the world are defined by the author. I think the difference is that the foundation of science fiction is on what the world is, both literally, and metaphorically, while the foundation of fantasy lies upon what the world could be, hence the name fantasy

This will start to protect some people, and bring awareness to the issue, allowing for further regulation in the future, once public demand for it has increased

In recent years, rightsholders have made several attempts to shut the site down. Court orders have led to LibGen being blocked in several countries, but completely eliminating the threat has been extremely difficult. This is partly because the identities of those running it remains unknown.

In 2017, Elsevier won a court case against LibGen and Sci-Hub in a New York federal court, which awarded the publisher $15 million in damages. However, both shadow libraries remained online and continue to operate to this day.

The lawsuit was stalled for months because LibGen’s anonymous operators didn’t respond. With no other viable options left, the publishers filed a motion for a default judgment in their favor.

Keep it up, LibGen

If they can, I’m going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB

If anyone deserves the right to bare arms, it’s femboys. Not everyone looks good in dresses with sleeves!

So straight he circled right back around

My group’s last one shot took five sessions lol

I think something that could really help would be for people in power to give these immigrants a platform to tell their story, why they’re here, and what their life is like. The fascists fuel their movement by dehumanizing the other. We should be trying to publicly humanize them as much as possible to counter that.

But I also totally understand why they wouldn’t want to be put under that kind of spotlight. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what these Republican domestic terrorists want.
