Tribalism didn’t end when civilization started. Anyone not in the tribe is lesser, because the alternative would mean your tribe is lesser.

More specific to an iPhone, if you have one, you can do all the social iPhone things like FaceTime. Don’t have one? You can’t FaceTime, so there is a social friction or impediment to socializing. Then there is the “othering” of the green bubble and blue bubble thing. You can’t share photos or videos the same if you don’t have an iPhone. Since we are in a digital age and less physically present, not being able to digitally socialize the same way also inhibits socialization.

All of this is by design. Apple intentionally creates an ecosystem that will excert social pressure on people to buy their products so they can be part of the group like their friends.

Mr. Chippy, feet first on PPV… If it were my call.

I don’t want the carbon footprint of that.

They can’t be legitimized, they are kiddie diddlers. They can be composted though.

His adult users already have, for MAPs.

Well, it is a platform for children… That does very little about pedos.

Pirate Software is a such a twat.

He keeps saying he worked at Blizzard, which is factually correct, but he was a game tester and not a dev; a position he got because his dad worked there. He keeps using his time at Blizzard as some sort of support for his “authority” on the game industry.

He has had a game in dev for like 8 years and the code is written poorly or heavily relies on AI(exact notation style used by AI), sometimes both. Any criticism of his code is dismissed by saying that it is part of the ARG for the game and intentionally done.

He tried to gaslight his dad about him not calling on his dad’s birthday by saying he did.

He doesn’t support Stop Killing Games from an anti-consumer standpoint.

He does “developer streams” where he puts code on screen and doesn’t actually do any coding(IMO because he can’t actually code with real competence, based on examples of his code).

He should just put the fries in the bag or pivot his meta.

I’m no expert on the higher capabilities of multistream plugins and whatnot. I don’t think you could include twitch chat with the others if you are doing that sort of thing unless filtering chats to a given platform is an option with one instance. All the same, if you are handling the multistream locally you would want to do a dual PC setup if you are a game streamer. A lot of multistreamers use a relay service to reduce processing power while gaming.

You can multistream everything to everywhere with combined chat, but you have to sanitize the chat so it isn’t apparent that other platforms are combined or which chat is which if they are displayed separately.

As a hustle, you should stream on Kick(10x the payout of Twitch) and then edit the vods into algorithm clips for YouTube and tiktok that would funnel to the Kick. You could multistream everywhere for maximum exposure, but that can get troublesome depending on how active chat is because you need to keep up and Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen.

These days it is really hard to get going in streaming and youtube, so you really just need to cast a wide net and really work on refining your content. It takes years to get a decent second income, unless a big streamer reacts to you and then you have to try and keep the new subs without turning away the OGs.

Know your worth and you don’t know what you got.

One person’s trash is another’s treasure, but sometimes fixing and cleaning up an item devalues it to the right person.

A misprint is the most valuable form of currency, but most see it as a fake or worthless.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and ugly is ironically chic when value is irrelevant.

Self depreciation is fair value in your economy.

Putting money in a car for personal aesthetic taste or greater performance doesn’t add value if the engine is blown.

I think I was 10. The bridge made my nose hurt and I think I got headaches for a few days from it or the lenses themselves. Changing frames causes some discomfort for a day or two.

Now I can wear glasses for over 24 hours straight without issue.

My vision wasn’t that bad from what I recall, but now I am at a -5.50 or something. I wear contacts when I leave the house and greatly prefer them, especially the transitions contacts that tint like sunglasses in sunlight. Seriously, the transitions contacts are glorious with my light sensitivity and it makes colors really “pop”.

Fumigation after envelope repair.

You need to, or preferably a pro, need to go around and seal up every possible incursion point and then gas the fuckers.

There is no solution but the final solution. Traps and poisons are like addressing a leaking roof with a pot to catch the water falling on the floor. God help you if you are on piers or block foundation, your fight will be Sisyphean.

Some of it is that you have to be a legal citizen or have a TIN, so people will use someone’s account to deliver under if they don’t have those.

There is a round version, but it isn’t in production.

There are two types of this, those that pay voluntarily and those who are extorted. If you pay protection money to a gang voluntarily, it is like insurance. If your business has a problem, the gang will deal with it. If you are the extorted type, then you may be on your own and you still owe money. They may act on your behalf because of the disrespect of hitting a business they deal with.

Some businesses don’t so much pay protection money as they act as a money laundering node for the gangsters, so if your shop gets hit then their money gets hit and that is personal. These types are usually more affiliated or may be forced to launder.

That makes it easier to find them to check for cancer caused by microplastics.

You can get tattoos that are you skin tone, but they aren’t invisible, they will show up if you get flush or tan.

There also are UV tattoos that onto show up under blacklight. How visible they are varies, but there is usually a ghosting with them.

Both cases, the ink fades faster than other colors. How fast that happens depends on the person and how much sun exposure you get. You can get touch ups every 2 years to keep the UV bright, but it does muddy the tattoo the more you do that.

This is what I started doing a few months ago and it works great.

The left lane is for crime.

There is a fair amount of street parking and a bus stop right there…
