Kindles are easy to come across 2nd hand for free or a few bucks

It can be tough to get an invite to a private tracker, but that’s all I’ve been using in my 20 years of torrenting and I’ve never received an ISP letter. I don’t use a VPN. Just keep an eye out for open sign-ups. Once you’re in, it’s essential to keep a good ratio.

Were you using a public or private tracker?

Good point - I was thinking only of my immediate family.

All those hundreds of mothers and the bloodline ends with my ugly face. My ancestors must be rolling in their graves.

Piggy backing off of this, the DEI council at my job ensures that everyone has what they need to succeed in their role. For example, the All Gender restroom didn’t have feminine sanitary products which was troublesome for some of our non binary staff. Instead of forcing them to use the women’s bathroom, we installed a dispenser in the All Gender restroom.

Also, many of the field employees shower at the office after their shift because it’s dirty work. But the shower facilities were just one big room, high school style, which made several LGBTQ employees uncomfortable. We pushed for individual shower stalls as a DEI effort and now everyone feels more comfortable showering.

These are things that straight, white, cis people probably wouldn’t think of. The DEI council allows minority voices to be heard.

All fines should be proportional to income or wealth, otherwise they’re only punishing the poor.

Nice. Think I’ll finally grab FFXII.

Hell yeah, I want Detroit: Become Human style androids before I hit old age.

Agreed - in my area busses drive on dedicated bus routes with no other vehicles. Realistically, they should be trollies. There’s no reason that it couldn’t be automated.

RIP whoever had to clean the bathroom between his trips to the buffet

Tbf I hope I’m still doing it when I’m grandma’s age.

“Yeah, I’m a pretty low key person and a bit of a homebody.”

Read as: “I am so terrified by the immense abuse I have suffered that I am barely capable of even the most basic social skills and have a panic attack every time I leave the house.”

How is this not a meme yet?

The children yearn for the mines.

Can confirm, I’m the horse.

Missed Connections on CL actually worked for me once roughly 15 years ago.

Instructions unclear, made a delicious dessert
