LOL thanks for the tip.

I created an account manually. Now I can’t create a community.

Digg doesn’t allow nsfw anyway so now I am back here

“I’m 100% convinced that most of those denials were being made because the staff that was there were overburdened to the point of just blanket denying shit to make their KPIs”

And I am 100% convinced this type of thing is not an accident. Because why would an insurance company WANT to pay out more than they have to? Instead they slash staff which saves money on pay AND claims and the company can blame any drop in quality on the reduced staff!

It’s genius except for the part where they are killing paying customers!

For those wondering how a parking fine can be 100K, it’s actually many smaller fines:

“However, one of the cars has to be parked slightly over the grass in Martinez’s yard, in violation of a local property-maintenance ordinance, which has led to a $250 fine every day since 2021”

Once Were Warriors

Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff’s harrowing vision of his country’s indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.

Dysfunction, alcoholism, domestic violence.

But it’s not funny, sorry OP.

No embarrassing is something like shitting yourself in public or what RayGun did at the Olympics.

You are fine.

It was one of the main inspirations for the Matrix so it sort of has been made.

But yeah I could see a Neuromancer movie being good too! I can’t remember exactly how similar Neuro was to the Matrix because it has been so long but it did have the concept of “plugging in” to the network at least

edit Neuromancer TV series is coming soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer_(TV_series)

The novel that never stops being relevant.

Wrote two erotic fiction short stories, both of which will be audio books soon!

How do you know they are the same files though?

“continued global conflicts” is a safe bet any year.

I think everyone has about 3 “versions” of themselves.

One version for work. One for family. One for friends and partners.

The work version is the least honest because so much is unacceptable to say at work and people self-censor a lot. Say the wrong things and you will get meetings, write ups and maybe fired. Everybody gives their boss to much information at least one time and learns why you don’t do that.

The friends and partners version is normally the most honest version and can be completely genuine for some. Good friends can be trusted to keep secrets and don’t judge.

Family is normally in the middle but this depends. If the family was incredibly old fashioned, conservative or religious then maybe a person would need to self-censor even more than they do at work?

I wonder if the jerky is good?

Ah so it’s like “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”

Scary!

Same with the massage wands (as long as you can take it out of the packet and get it back in without them seeing)

If they can live 150 years without food do they really need help?

Sounds like the elves are immortal to me ?

To share my erotic fiction because the reddit mods banned it !!

They are such fascists over there. Seriously.

Yes this seems to be the case

OpenAI in particular sounds very unprofitable and keeping it running another 10 years will take a lot of cash injections. I wonder how long before investors give up on it? Probably less than 10 years.

Yes crime and erotica is my diet!
