Am I being wooshed, and if no, wtf? When did killing even one person become an “only” occurrence?

And my grandma still has a bottle dating back from when it wasn’t called Cif yet. It’s “Vim”. Guess she still has it because she didn’t figure out how to quit it.

I didn’t read the Silmarillion yet but knowing how Tolkien’s lore can be sometimes, I really don’t know if I should take this comment as a joke or not.

Had it happen to my wife-to-be when we started dating (like one week in).

We were at a party in a field, with tents and all that, and she was sat on my lap. She complained she was feeling a bit tired, stood up and after a few steps, she just collapsed on the ground. I just had the time to launch myself and catch her before she hurt herself, because she really fell like a lifeless doll.

I brought her in our tent, checked her heart rate, breath, all was normal, she was just really asleep. I was young and didn’t think it was more than alcohol, but thought that she maybe had a condition, or didn’t eat enough that day or something, so just decided to bid everyone goodnight to stay with her instead off calling the hospital. I stayed awake a few hours with her to make sure her vital sign didn’t degrade and after some time she woke up and threw out (outside of the tent, luckily), before telling me she was okay and I could sleep.

The next morning she told me she hadn’t any prior condition, had eaten correctly, hadn’t drank that much, and after she collapsed she was fully conscious, just unable to move any muscle. So she heard everything I said and did, and she wanted to tell me she feels ok, but just couldn’t.

It’s years later that it clicked for both of us: that night, a guy at the party wanted to get some action with one of our lady friends and was very vocal about it. At one point, my girlfriend jokingly took said girl’s beer from her hands and drank it, and I remember her mentioning that she must already be drunk because it tasted funny. And the said guy was a known drugs user (not a junkie, but still).

Our group of friends was pretty respectful and basically were just decent human beings overall, so we didn’t think, at the time, that one of us could pull something like this out. In insight, if it had to happen, this guy was the best candidate, as an alpha male apologist and insane enough to have been fired from the army.

The irony is that he indeed ended up smashing with our friend, in the morning, when she had sobered up and consenting. And trust me, she was conscious and consenting, as we all heard, so good for her I guess.

Unfortunately we don’t have any contact with both of them anymore and wouldn’t know how to find them again. But this story stays in my mind forever. I cannot fathom how our friend could have lived with a rape that horrible, while still perfectly conscious and unable to even cry for help. And I cannot imagine how we would all have lived with the fact that it happened under our nose, separated by a thin layer of tent fabric.

I’m glad it didn’t happen this time, but unfortunately I’m sure if he tried it that time, he tried it again with someone else, possibly wasn’t his first time. And it horrifies me that we didn’t think about the obvious explanation at the time so we could have warned other girls and involve the police.

The dead and the traumatized thank you for your wise observations: this helped them a lot see how Israel is so benevolent making people explode in their country.

So… Basically NewPipe but paid and with ads? Brb, going to setup a monthly 14€ donation to the NewPipe team.

Try running it in Windows 3.11.

There was a game I was playing on Windows 95 or 98 when I was a child. I had success running it in Windows 3.11 on DosBox (with no instability to report, even the sound was crisp).

I setup Windows 3.11 to start my game upon OS startup, I then found a little software made for Windows 3.11 that exits Windows when a given program closes.

I put the Windows 3.11 .IMG and the game .ISO in a folder along with a DOSBox portable installation, created a shortcut which launches the DOSBox instance with the correct parameters to mount the ISO and IMG files and start Windows 3.11, Windows launches the game, then exits when the game does.

All of this means that I can just click the shortcut to have the game start with very little overhead, for the price of a little portable folder and it’s shortcut, and the underlying DOSBox or Windows system are basically invisible to the end user.

Try to see if your game runs in Windows 3.11 and if this is the case, I will try to find back any documentation or resource I used at the time to help you package that game as I did.

Edit: Windows 3.1 or even Windows 1 might be worth a shot as well if you want to go as minimal as possible.

And those motherfuckers are right.

I think the point was that, for the people around, this was undistinguishable from suicide bombers, which are usually considered as terrorists. Terrorism is meant to inspire terror and insecurity. This did exactly that.

I intended to be an astrophysicist before finally settling on IT, and I was doing theater before life did its things and I had to stop. I’m kinda religious but not THAT religious (and my SO is an atheist so, really not THAT much).

Maybe there’s kind of a type anyway.

Breakfast: second

I actually implied it wasn’t the same crocodile.

So he’s “a Maori King” and it has been contracted in the title just like in “Florida man eats own face after setting crocodile on fire”.

Just like regular libraries have copyrighted books: they lend them to one person at a time.

With the data I have at hand, people mostly seem to die in them.

It is actually possible to use Aegis for Steam, that’s what I do. It’s a pain to setup if you’re not rooted (I think you need to use an Android emulator on a computer and then export the Aegis DB to reimport it on your mobile IIRC) but it’s possible. Look at https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/wiki/Adding-Steam-to-Aegis-from-Steam-Desktop-Authenticator Steam is still very welcome to go fuck themselves with their shitty app, though.
