Woman admits to running US brothel network
  • I'm trying to understand that middle sentence.

    Being a cis male doesn't really affect whether you'd suck a dick, for money or otherwise. I can only assume you meant to put "hetero" [vs "homo"]. And I'd say you're pretty flexy on that "hetero" if you'd suck dick for any reason.

  • Might not even have to change the acronym
  • I don't get the entitlement. I'd need to see the context for the first message but who cares if a robot penned the message?

    Even in annoying circumstances, like if it seems you've been auto-rejected by a bot, you can frame it better than "I demand to see your manager human."

    Edit: on review, it's less "entitlement", more "smarmy". Equally annoying.

  • Workday wellness check
  • As someone who was very mentally fragile years ago, it's very easy to say "just don't engage, hang up the phone". But, when someone is verbally beating you down, it can slip your mind under the pressure.

    OP said they were keeping it high-level but their over-boss kept pressing for specifics. I don't think they need a reference guide in this instance.

  • Elon's Folly
  • The thought exercise says no charity donations. I guess spending part of your million a day on a suite of lawyers to argue that arts funding on that scale is not a "charitable donation" is a valid use of the money. But, that would cut into the charity funding eventually.

  • I'm a personal assistant - AMA
  • Eh, I need my alone time and being at the beck and call of someone stastically likely to be a douche is not how I'd like to earn my living.

    But I'm also not having a good time right now, so beggars can't be choosers.

  • Skyrim lead designer says it will be 'almost impossible' for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations: 'Marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep'
  • Because it sounds like they'd be ditching everything previous fans love about the universe and lore to hit a bunch of buzzwords. There is insane shit from older games that I'm sure will never see the light of day (unless a modder gets inspired) because Bethesda wants to sanitize and mass-marketize the world.

    Will Elsweyr explore at all the fact there are effectively different species of Khajiit tied to under what combination of the phases of the dual moons the baby is born? Or will Bethesda just throw some big, gruff, talking tigers and some small, funny, talking house cats around and call it a day after putting in exactly one (1) version of each of those that inverts that mold?

    Will the Mane be like this: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Mane ? Or will he just be a Khajiit in LaCroix-level flavorings of Middle-Eastern adjacent clothing?

  • Triangle rule
  • That is the standard of the love triangle. The two love rivals have to be friends with, or at least know, each other or else there is no tension between them for their love of the 2nd party. Or else every person talking to multiple people on dating apps is in a love n-gon. And love should never intersext with n-gons.

  • 'I am a rapist', admits husband in French mass rape trial
  • Oh good, he felt accountability, finally, after 10 years of getting people to rape someone who trusted him. This is close enough to contrition for this lunatic, so we probably shouldn't destroy him.

    "She did not deserve this." You don't get to say that. I'd prefer if he never got to say anything for the short remainder of his natural-born lifespan.

    Edit: having read the article in full, I can't even maintain the absurdist tone I used in the first half. Whoever advised him on his defense should be barred from ever giving advice again because "I filmed the men I let into my home to rape my wife who I drugged without duress so I could prove she was definitely getting raped and wasn't a party to her rape like some of these other degenerates are trying to claim" is a first-tier shithole of an explanation.

    He was also radicalized by an unknown male nurse saying he should rape his wife. Must've been a goddamn Jedi because he got turned to rape very easily. This man is utterly reprehensible and I now want to learn French so I can tell him to die in his native language.

  • Sid Meier's Civilization 7 developer breaks down the new leader mechanics, "it's one of the biggest changes we've made to the game and one of the scariest"
  • Yeah, I'm not mad that they chomped Humankind's flavor. I see it as an admission that the game had good ideas (if less-than-stellar execution). I've just seem rando comments trying to tamp down on claims that there are similarities like their stock portfolio is riding on it.

    I'm sure it's management's fault but they should be shouting out fellow devs in their breakdowns: "oh, we saw Humankind and thought it's mechanic was fascinating. But we wanted to adapt it closer to our style and refine some pain points we noticed in our execution."

  • Red-painted fascists never change
  • No, you see, after their entire lives have been brought to ruin, the crumbling edifices of Humanity brought as low as the skyscrapers that embodied them; Thanatos cackling behind every mocking cry of the crows that feasts upon the righteous and the unrighteous alike; and when all the honeyed, happy thoughts turn to ash upon their tongues...

    well they'll be right jazzed about MyBrand "Communism".

  • I promise the Republican Party
  • Is this a genuine comment? Or some n-th level joke I'm too normie understand?

    Because it reads to me like you're trying to redirect a tired, Comservative refrain that anything politically Left of Reagonomics is Communism (which hails back to the Cold War and the Red Scare) into some dogwhistle admission by the GOP that they are the same as the DNP and are, in fact, actually worried about Communists.

    Which sounds ridiculous.
