I just watched the Tuvix episode of Voyager. Looks like I'm going through the transporter in the morning.

I work in retail. Yes. Yes they are. Worse even. So much worse.

There was another one once, pornlemmy. Not sure what killed it, but it also no longer exists.

Mark Robert is a good one. Most of his stuff is made for kids around that age.

I was working from home for a couple of years and had a mixed appreciation for it. While I was still driving my wife to her job in the morning, it was nice to come home and start my day. Less gas and all that. But not having coworkers around, and not enough separation from the home space sent me stir-crazy often. My wife had a ride home from work since my schedule went past hers, and I would be trying to go places or something after work and she just wanted to chill after her retail management day. But since I was laid off and had to re-enter retail management myself, I wouldn't mind a hybrid situation if I had the choice.

With kielbasa and cabbage. Yummy.

 

It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

Much of what you said I agree with, but let me say that an independent license with less restrictions will be way more favorable and harder to secure than a location license. An independent license should not remove regulations, but remove security. Being licensed through a house should guarantee the availability of condoms and such, security personnel, testing, and so on. An independent license should require std testing regularly, but also means a John/Jane has to sign a waiver that they understand this is an independent.

I also would like to state that a house should never be run like strip clubs are where the strippers are independent contractors who have to pay the club. Workers should be employees just like ia regular job. Just a license.

Another point should be that a worker needs to be responsible for their own license renewal. The license for renewal (on time) should be free if you are in a house, and tied to the company that owns the house. If a worker gets a better offer at another company, a new license is required, but not if it's a transfer of locations within a company.

And in the point of the company, there should be limitations on how many houses they can own, and how many workers in each house. Maybe that can be at a local level, like I can't have a house called Billy's House of Poon right across the street from another place I own called Madam Sapphire Day Spa. Zoning laws. I live in an area that saw an explosion of dispensaries after weed went legal, and now most of them are all owned by corporations that have no problem opening new shops in the same market. Avoid that.

I could go on, build out a framework for all the legal stuff, but I'll keep it simple.

Regulated with provisions for safety. I'm all for the idea it should be in a specific license location, like love hotels or massage parlors or something like that. No going to someones house or a different hotel.

The state is still run by one of his opponents from the election. My theory will be that ICE and other federal officers will back off once Walz is out of office.

What is the most depraved act you have done?

 

For me, it's small business retail. Point-of-Sale systems, physical inventory management, the existing options are not built for smaller operations or are not good.

 

The past couple of years, the amount of kids out on Halloween has dwindled down in my neighborhood. This year, my wife and I were at her cousin's house and we saw maybe a couple of kids walking around. My wife blames people going to Trunk or Treat things. We both work in retail, so we see more of the public, and nobody was in costume. What was everybody's experience with Halloween this year?

 

I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.

 

I'm shouldn't have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M's. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

 

As I have been browsing RPG communities on Lemmy, Facebook, and Reddit, I have noticed some of the slang that I used to hear is not present much in these discussions. Now I know over time, slang and lingo do change, and I want to know more about your experiences in it. One of the terms I used to hear was "fish-malk", referring to players that take on a character to be goofy, silly, and "random". They were usually useless and made playing the game for the rest of the players rather difficult. So what lingo or slang terms are you using in your groups, or terms you just don't hear anymore?

 

I want to know what draws people to it and why keep consuming and making it? Especially since Pictures and videos aren't showing anything new except the people in it.

 

NSFW answers are allowed, within reason and hidden in a spoiler tag.

 

I was watching Knock Knock Knowing on Hootys Door and noticed the collector in Eda's dream and the scroll with the curse. Made me wonder, where did Lilith find the curse?

 

I was watching some RPG YouTube, and of course there was talk about Monsters. And with the recent OMG CONTROVERSY with the newest Monster Manual, I got to thinking about something that is more inherent in D&D and in fantasy games in general, why so many monsters? I've played various other games, and read many books, watched many movies, but it seems that fantasy games, with D&D leading the charge, seem to have more monsters than any other medium in the genre, or other genre's in particular. So yeah, why are there so many monsters?

 

In Ypsilanti Michigan during WW2, a film maker, Walter Pidgeon, found a girl working there named Rose Monroe. As the trend of Rosie the Riveter was taking off due to a recent hit song and Norman Rockwell doing a Rosie painting, he made a series of propaganda films with Rose. I'm looking for those films, as I am a volunteer for a museum that is on the old factory grounds. Any information on where I can find these films would be super helpful for our museum. Thanks all.
