Which ones and why?

I sense a fun story and I’m here for it.

…trying?

Seriously. For the same price as McD’s I can go to In-n-Out. That’s just comparing fast food places. For the price they’re charging for a Quarter Pounder I may as well go to a sit-down restaurant.

If you compare that to the average cost of living in Japan it’s a bit closer to $300 in terms of spending power.

Either way it’s a lot cheaper than I’d expect to have to pay anyone for sex work, much less something that blatantly illegal.

Oh, as for the age of consent thing that change just made it a national crime. Every prefecture in Japan had already raised the age of consent to 16 (or higher) well before last year. The only places it didn’t apply were some remote military bases and IIRC the portion of Antarctica that Japan claims. Still a good move but it’s not like Japanese pedos were just having sex with 13-year-olds without consequence before then.

There? Really? There is where you draw the line? Killing a dog is fine, but lying about meeting a dictator is too far? Just trying to keep track here.

Naw he’s off at RenFaire.

Try to see if there are any that do that little Javascript-evaluation-to-render-the-client-side-site thing, and if there are, have them mine cryptocurrency for you.

Using your evil powers for good I see.

You say, I feel that, and yet every time another poll about the economy comes out its like I live in a different universe entirely.

The upcoming Fallout series on Amazon Prime. This is a screencap taken from one of the most recent trailers.

The other guy is worse, so we really don’t have to listen to a damn thing you say at all and you have to vote for our guy, get that through your poverty addled brains.

I mean I hate to say it but this is unironically true. As bad as things are now The Other Guy absolutely would make things worse. Neoliberals may be a scourge but MAGA is cancer. One of the bad cancers. Not even prostate cancer, like pancreatic cancer.

Knowing him this is less of a matter of conscience and more a “fuck it I’mma burn this bitch to the ground on the way out”.

My dude, prices were shooting up well before Biden entered office.

If nothing else, it pretty well cuts off any claims they might make about not being aware they were not in compliance. It speeds cases along once they do get to court, plus there’s the prospect of fines, so on.

Done in one.

Yep, specifically a post-scarcity society that is absent the concept of money.

He got better.

The same folks who complain about new Star Trek being ruined by the “woke mind virus” and apparently never watched the original series.

On the subject of Sorbo, apparently he had two small strokes during his time on Hercules and that’s part of why he went off the rails so damn abruptly.

In other words they’re following a playbook written by the brain-damaged, literally. By all means, go on.

They’d have to do a hell of an enshittification to completely ruin Plex, if only because there are old versions floating around that will let you run a server without ever logging in to Plex itself. Though at that point it’d probably be easier to switch to Jellyfin.

IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD

Because it worked so well when we decided to skip over all that “good from bad” determination after the Civil War.
