Note to self: in future, search for this type of content by the word "bonk" ...

For some reason, I want to rub my face on them. No, I've never had that thought about keyboards as an adult, and in earlier years it would have been about napping, but this ... this belongs in a shrooms, ecstasy and textures bunker. After its found in a crashed space-ship of course.

Now, if you'll excuse me, its time for my twice-a-decade review of the fact that none of my friends has connections for ANY of those things any more, and neither do I. God I hope someone I know retires and starts(again) taking payments in drugs before my mind is gone anyways. Be nice if this fenanyl bullshit went away too. Make no mistake, none of us are squares, just old-for-millenials.

Those aren't pursuers, those are his troops(same uniforms same wild-eyed expressions of focus and terror, as you pointed out), which makes sense as usually no one short of an officer gets away with a stunt like this, they would be expected to lead by example when issuing such orders, and the fact she's naked just doubles back on the trust shown in officers. Also, the troops would normally escape behind an officer, so with him and a line of fodder behind is where she's considered safest.

Next soldier to pick up a civilian if time is made to do so might get to ride alongside him or closer behind than the others. One would guess she's also now considered an orphan, and so triply in need of protection until they can get her to safety.

IIRC, Franzetta's fairly consistent about captives being in chains, and women not in chains doing whatever the hell they want, especially the naked ones.

Honestly, the position I prefer to be in. It confirms you know their taste.

NOW, you want a truly disturbing version of this? Try getting it right, only its the more expensive one, so she refuses to buy it or let you pay the difference, or even buy it for her! ... and with the way these sales and store-stock rotation work, its often not so easy as coming back next month, next week ... even the same day, to get it for whatever-next-holiday-that-probably-falls-too-late-in-the-season-anyway. Sneak a picture of the tag? Congratulations, its somehow out-of-stock or never sold on-line, nor in nearby stores.

People that are convinced they are going to be the next sales/shopping/couponing deity are the WORST to want good things for. Short route to fadish or gimped products that do not work as well as advertized, or in the case of things like Black Friday televisions, what you would otherwise get them if they would only let you when there's time to be certain.

Before you read too much into that last sentence, the minimum age of a TV or monitor in my house is ten years old, and the average close to 15. As a former professional PC, TV, Printer and Appliance repair man, that's one bite from this I managed to avoid while still letting it give me nightmares.

The look on his face could just as easilly be trying to keep it professional. "Madame, the invaders are coming, you should come with us! There's no time for you to get dressed!!"

The buttocks may even just be the best "grip" he could get(without having to cause bruising even ... maybe) close to her center of gravity.

What you're missing is that anything easier, even more palettable to Palestinians and some others to learn, than straight Hebrew was thrown aside when it would have been a zero-cost, high-reward route to enabling the single-state solution that they claimed to want.

Instead, they otherized a chunk of the Jewish population that was about as large as the Palestinian population that they sought to eject, and Jews that were already closer to or in Israel no less!! Jews that would have gladly introduced new-comers to the new neighbors!! It was a nail in the coffin for any goal besides that of an ethno-state.

Who cares? The very existance of Isreal is anti-semetic. The colonizers tricked way too many of the world's Jews into making themselves targets, as if hoping to one-up the holocaust.

I'm sure there are plenty of other words for hating on Jews outside of Israel once anti-semetism is forced to mean hating-Israel-and-not-even-individual-citizens-of-just-their-government-and-its-supporters.

Here's hoping the majority of Israeli's, who DON'T support this bullshit, manage to oust Natenyahu-and-friends, and move towards un-fucking the situation while there is still something more to "the holy land" than bunkers and grave-yards.

Firefox is an app, as are Chrome and so many others, but any more it would be more appropriate to list "web-browser" or "website" as a polling option, as almost no-one is looking to switch or try a different browser over a single use-case/website.

I use my instance' website in-browser (Firefox) ... is that really so uncommon as to not be an option here?

Correspondence is not correlation.

I was gonna suggest there might be a "too dumb to program for the profit of others", but ... yeah, even if your pay and code is a financial detriment, we can pretty much promise it'll be an insignificant portion of the money that company is costing itself. You gotta eat, and practice is practice.

That said, advice remains the same: program on company time towards a path you don't care about beyond covering your ass and trying to deliver what's been demanded(I'm not saying don't do your best, just keep it to what you can do on the clock), and see that as practice for passion projects on the side. Save a little bit of that no-fucks-given/objectivity for objectively testing and fixing your code - fix it like someone else made the mistake, and you can do it better, but at the same time something must ship(don't let perfect be the enemy of good).

Only one!? ... I mean, yeah. I too only eat 1ish meals worth of snacks a day. I'm a normal snacker, yessiree
