I suspect comment-OP just lives somewhere that giving teens sex education is considered odd and unethical. Unsurprisingly, teenage pregnancy is often the result, so with good intentions they are giving the best advice they have.

This is a future worse than Nausicaa…

You shoulda just posted this on [email protected] , it’s getting upvoted there.

FWIW I had a similar experience, and just switched to oatmilk. I only use it for breakfast cereal, so I don’t notice a difference.

(I’ve heard almond milk is good too, but I believe almond growers take up a disproportionate amount of water.)

That kid may not be a werewolf, but he’s already fierce.

You have found the new movie plot that Hallmark has been looking for.

When you travel, bring as few devices as possible with you. Obviously, you’ll bring your phone with you, but leave your laptop at home if you can.

Last time I travelled overseas I took a burner phone without a calling plan, and just used it as a wifi device at the hotel. I used google maps and “offline maps”, GPS still worked. Used the phone as a camera, and I would have uploaded anything private and wiped locally but that wasn’t necessary.

If anyone at the border had asked, I’d have said it was so I didn’t risk losing my phone, and so work couldn’t call me up and bug me during vacation.

I don’t know who’s running the Nicole scam, but in some centers:

Scam center operators lure foreign nationals to scam hubs, where they are forced into modern slavery, to scam internet users around the world into fraudulently buying cryptocurrencies or withdrawing cash via social media and online dating apps.[1] A typical scam is known as “pig butchering”. Trafficked victims’ passports are confiscated, and they are threatened with organ harvesting and forced prostitution if they do not successfully scam sufficiently.

So there’s always the chance that you’re not scambaiting a willing scammer, but an enslaved person who’s just scared of being forced into prostitution.

I kinda think of it as a memento mori… he’s like: yep, that was me, 20 years ago… keep the sunglasses on son, now lean in and put your hand on her neck… yep, I remember those days…

The not-quite-visible whitehaired person to the left only adds to the effect. Like: this is the inevitable course of your life, buddy.

Glad to hear your cat Cleo is doing better, fam!

Oh yeah Sanctuary kills! another couple good things:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aij5PTNHdvY - what could be better than a couple drunk Texas sumotori watching the 1992 film “Sumo Do, Sumo Don’t”? Not much. It takes them 5 minutes just to get the movie started tho lel. There’s also a 2022 miniseries of the same name but you’ll have to find someone with a Disney account for that.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CISA3X2cJw - Hinomaru Sumo anime. sub is better imho but most of the dub is free at that link. It’s missing the last episode of season 2 tho, you’ll have to find it elsewhere if you get that far, I think it’s on crunchyroll and amazon streaming.

I can’t believe this is how I was told that the March basho started…

@[email protected] I hope your cat gets better! Let’s all meet up in [email protected] !

np fam! There’s a lot more stuff out there, those really are just the ones I like.

These are my favorite:
