I think we will actually reach a point where most sexual encounters will be via virtual reality. You taylor the interaction just as you want it and get the same physical reaction as if it was real.

I would love to hear your experiences and your thoughts on this topic. If you have pro-DEI or anti-DEI positions, I will read them, consider them and respect your right to your own opinion....
**“why not judge based on economic factors” **- completely agree with this. Judging by the tint of your skin is insane. But as an employer I would give more value to someone who succeeded coming from a poor economic situation over someone who did not. Everything is equal but one started working part time during school at 14, working full time in the summers, vs. a kid who never had or needed a job during their years in school. I’ll hire the kid who started working at 14
At a business, a secretary, almost always a woman, would answer the phone for all calls. There were no direct lines into anyone. If you were in she would transfer the call to your office. If you were out she would use this pad to take messages. When you came back in to the office you would always stop at the front desk and you...
At the time that these were in use if you described technology of today they would have considered it science fiction. In the near future I expect all live voice communications or voice messages to be via projected holograms.
For me it was Wolfmother at a major German festival. I didn’t really know them before and did not expect too much, but was totally blown away by their performance.
Decades ago I saw the Rolling Stones. It was held in an arena. I was fortunate enough to sit in one of those skyboxes. Because of its location to the stage, from a corner of the skybox you could actually see behind the stage. This area was just a huge curtain as all seating behind the curtain was closed. During certain songs some band members would go behind the curtain. And it was a blast to see some of them jugging down vodka which was clearly visible from my vantage point. And the show was great.
I never understood why there wasn’t a federal web site where you input your gross based on W2. Then check off boxes for special deductions like kids. And wamo here’s what you owe. But if our tax system was simple and stupid than thousands of people at IRS wouldn’t have jobs. Too bad. Let them find other jobs.
I wonder where they are getting the money for weapons. I thought there were economic sanctions imposed on them. Or did I miss something and were they lifted?
While I totally agree that the rich (regardless of color) are not treated the same by our system of justice, he was so beyond all doubt guilty that it actually hurt the Black community. Whites and other peoples of color were disappointed that any person regardless of the tint of their skin was not held accountable for the obvious brutal murder of 2 people. And how sad that at this point we still make judgements based on how light or how dark a person’s skin is.
When hitler killed himself in the bunker. I would have been fascinated to witness how a guy responsible for millions of deaths somehow considered himself the victim and was forced to commit suicide. He was an evil bastard and a coward unwilling to face the consequences of his actions.
I treated like a stronger than usual strain of the flu. I was and am healthy. I had no comorbidities. I knew that if I was infected it wouldn’t kill me. And I’m sure that at several times if tested I would have come up positive but I never had any significant symptoms. I live in a state that was one of the first to end all restrictions and simply lived life normally. I did get the vax before it was know that it actually didn’t prevent you from getting covid and it did not prevent you from spreading it if you were positive.
The author of this article is not a conservative, not even a moderate, but what we used to consider a liberal. Remember those days when you could have civil conversations between conservatives and liberals. Not so today with so many on the far far left. As expected this post will be heavily downvoted. Makes you wonder why they so fear civil discussion of ideas put forth by a liberal. But a liberal that does not completely accept the narrative.
The article was written by a liberal. He, not me, is explaining what he believes is the problem with NPR. If you disagree with his viewpoint you should debate him.
Any conservative who doesn’t admit that there are ALSO conservatives that don’t “debate” with facts is clueless. They come to us from both sides. And in either case nothing is accomplished because you never get to understand the position of the other side. But in either case once the other party resorts to insults you know immediately that you are better off having a discussion with your dog.
I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.
Good answer. For me I try to do stuff around the house and I usually make it worse costing me more money in the end when a professional comes to fix it.
Weren’t you banned from Lemm.ee for posting scat porn in a tech community and dumping a bunch of comments in an Autism community calling them the R word? You ran the conservativememes2 community too.
I did NONE of those things. I have never posted any kind of porn anywhere and never would.
I have a nephew who is autistic and will scream out at anyone who refers to those afflicted with that condition as retarded.
When I moderated groups at reddit I would ban those who wished me dead or called for violence against me. Do you think that was OK?
I don’t know what you are talking about. I have stated that I am still banned at reddit. No one let me back and I believe that their appeal process is now automated. So in effect you can never actually make a case as to why you should be reinstated.
