    Oh buddy… that’s the new, less horrifying shock content.

    Lets just say that glass jars are not appropriate anal toys, there’s a reason why glass sex toys are solid, and that some people have terrifying amounts of pain tolerance.

    And this poster is an incredibly un-subtle recreation of the first frames of that horror. At least they added pants.

    Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

    There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one’s personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there’s just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.

    Especially when there’s all these “adrenochrome” and “vampire” crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.

    Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it’s restricted to the elite, and if it doesn’t then we’re negatively impacting the donor’s health for no reason.






  • Apologies if you’ve heard this before:

    Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that’s you failing.

    If your boss can’t find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that’s them failing.

    Likewise if you tell them you can’t get something done because you’re only one person, it’s their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they’re just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.






  • My guy, I’m a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You’re wrong about how Windows works.

    Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you’ve accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.

    You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.

    Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don’t assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.

    All of those things require admin rights, which is an explicit acceptance that you are now working with things that could fuck your shit up. Modern Windows, unless you disable UAC, asks you to confirm you’re sure you want to use admin rights before you have the opportunity to break any of the shit you claim it’s chill about.

    Running an exe doesn’t require admin rights, hence the extra warnings. Plus a malicious exe could do all that shit without asking for admin first through a privilege escalation exploit.

    I swear, people find more uninformed shit to complain about with Windows every day.

    If all else fails, you can try using whatever the lastest community supported fork of Universal Android Debloater is. It uses ADB to remove bloatware, which bypasses vendor locks on keeping certain apps installed.

    Obviously no real replacement for custom ROMs, but it’s better than nothing.
