Every time I consider that my near-a-terrabyte may be a little excessive, I'll remember anon.

Then again, I keep videos to 720P or less, and convert gifs to video, so if anon's an HD and/or 3D/Vr maniac, I could easilly have more than them, measured in playback time.

The divisions in the red symbol remind me of the Tigris and Euphrates, one from the North and one from the East, nearly meeting around Bagdad and both contributing to a nearly-singular green belt from there South to the Persian Gulf.

I'm not sure, but the Sunni, Shia, and Kurds may be distributed in a similar pattern, allthough not-at-all deliniated by the rivers.

Apparently an eight-pointed star is a powerful symbol in Islam, but exaggerating the points like in OP's flag is not something I've seen in that context.

I would second the idea that an Iraqi flag without green doesn't sit right. Its literally the only color in their current flag I could tell you the meaning of.

Whatever, my ass. My fatherly advice is to keep parenting-adjacent things and that kinda shit seperate.

I have nothing against sugar-babies, bimbos, kept men, what-have-you, but combining it with asking how to use serious tools or navigate painful life decisions? Fuck off. Bad enough that so much porn out there is incest-themed.

Y'all spend so much time on character assassination, and near-zero time distinguishing "leftist" policies, and therefore candidates, from fascist ones. Its pathetic.

Bush W snorted cocaine. Obama smoked pot. Made zero difference their times in office.

The Executive Branch's (ie, the President's) capacity to felonize anyone is precisely why we can't keep felons out of public office. Meanwhile, millions of felons who have paid their debt to society, and more, remain unable to vote.

I hate the fact that so-called leftists are still using the felon thing as a talking point. At least it gives you neo-liberals/neo-cons a way to out yourselves I guess.

Hey now, one of my worst nightmares would be encountering a Vampire who wasn't offended/didn't notice me enough to end me or turn me. Sadly, I'm not catching their attention with my good looks.

JFC, I just finished up-grading my daughter's desktop and setting up all her games. The only things I've downloaded from the Microsoft store were so I could retrieve her Xbox game-saves and import them to Steam or GOG-versions of those games.

Shit like this is gonna drive us to Bazzite sooner rather than later, and no, I do NOT mean "SteamOS".

Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.

Of course the first "expert opinion" quote is from a Tesla employee. Otoh, it seems obvious the timeline is too ambitious, but the "starting from zero" line seems like bullshit as well, considering how much auto manufacturing already takes place in Mexico.

As a dad, the role-play thing going on with the post titles kinda creeps me out, but I hope I come across this again if that ever changes.

I thought their implication was that they would use the WebUI for downloading videos for offline watching later. Beyond that, I don't really know or care; Their suggestion was weird to me, but I took it at face value and replied accordingly.
