From what I understand we’ve always been for immigration the common talking point is immigrations is what leads to innovation and cultural diversity which is one of the things which makes the United States the United States.

People are upset about Elon’s H1B visa statement because he’s “replacing Americans with foreigners” but is that not the exact same argument that MAGA has been used for illegal immigration? “They’re taking our jobs”

The H1B immigration obviously provides a net benefit to the country meanwhile illegal immigration provides literally nothing.

Why are we so offended by the H1B legal immigration that’s limited to about 65,000 a year but turning a blind eye to the southern border were an estimated 2.2 million people cross annually that’s a 34x difference providing no skilled labor vs the size of a small stadium providing vital skills necessary to move industry forward

Meine Freundin wollte unbedingt schon lange einen Städte Trip durch ganz Deutschland machen und die größten und schönsten Städte besuchen, ländlichere Gegenden sind dabei.
Jetzt zur Problematik, ich bin Mischling, also meine Mutter ist schwarz und mein Vater weiß. Man sieht mir also deutlich an, dass ich einen Migrationshintergrund habe.

Als Kind war ich schon mal in Thüringen und die Blicke der Leute habe ich selbst damals schon gemerkt, obwohl ich gerade mal 13 war. Damals war die Lage auch noch nicht so schlimm mit Rechtsextremismus. Da haben Leute wenigstens noch den Anstand gehabt ihren Rassismus für sich zu behalten.

Ich komme aus Frankfurt, einen Migrationshintergrund hier zu haben ist quasi normal, da wird der Kontrast im Osten wahrscheinlich noch mal etwas heftiger für mich.

Meine Angst ist, dass ich mich über die ca. 10 Tage, die wir in Ostdeutschland verbringen, mich nicht wohl fühle oder Rassismus ausgesetzt bin.

Sie meinte, dass ich mir durch sowas nicht die Reise verderben lassen soll, da es immer irgendwelche komischen Menschen gibt und man darüber stehen sollte. Ihr ist die Reise schon wichtig und ich frage mich, ob ich es einfach ihr zuliebe machen soll.

Bin ich das Arschloch, weil ich im Prinzip den langjährigen Traum meiner Freundin nicht erfüllen möchte?

Imo mrbeast's videos are becoming boring , I've been subscribed to him since he had like 20ish 30 million subs and I feel like everything impressive has already been done (by him ofc) so when I watch his newer videos , I feel like they're just filled with a lot of the old boring challenges and are just not entertaining anymore . I just want others opinion concerning his videos Ps : I still like the guy and never hated him even after the "allegations" about him or Chris or any other member .

My childish fantasy of having one loyal and loving partner for life has been slowly fading away to the point I’m forcing myself to just leave it behind in 2024 because all I see nowadays is people afraid of commitment, people cheating and people who just want situationships with as many people as possible so they can feel central and feed their tiny egos ughhhhh never gonna be in a relationship and have the love story I always wanted so sad to kiss goodbye this dream of mine!

I’ve been holding onto this secret for way too long, and I can’t keep it bottled up any longer. It’s something that I know is going to shock everyone who knows me, but I’ve come to realize that honesty is the best policy, even if it means facing the consequences.

So here it goes: a couple of years ago, I cheated on my girlfriend. And not just once—I’m talking about multiple times. I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, “What an asshole!” and you’re right to feel that way. I was in a committed relationship, and I completely betrayed her trust. At the time, I was caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and temptation, and I let it get the best of me. I convinced myself that it was just a phase, that it didn’t mean anything, but deep down, I knew it was wrong.

I didn’t just hurt her; I hurt myself too. The guilt has been eating away at me for years. I could never bring myself to confess because I was terrified of losing her. I kept pretending everything was fine, acting like the perfect boyfriend while hiding this massive secret. But every time I looked at her, I felt like a fraud. It’s like I was living a double life, and I hated myself for it.

To make matters worse, I’ve seen how my actions affected her. She changed, became more insecure, and I could tell she was struggling. I thought I could bury my guilt, but it just made everything worse. I eventually ended the relationship because I couldn’t keep lying to her or myself. I thought that walking away would somehow make it easier, but it didn’t. It just left me feeling more empty than ever.

I’ve been reflecting on this for a long time, and I realize that I need to own up to my mistakes. I don’t expect anyone to forgive me, and I completely understand if people want nothing to do with me after this. I just needed to get this off my chest. If you’re reading this and you’ve ever been tempted to cheat, learn from my mistakes. The pain of betrayal is something that lingers, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I hope that by sharing this, I can finally start to heal and maybe help someone else avoid the same path I took.

Dunno what this is, but at the end of the vid it reacted to what I said. This happened just now, south Sydney. Still have more videos to come

I find almost anything else sexier in fact... sundress, jean shorts, oversized tee shirt, skirt, crop top, business attire, bikini.

If I find a lady sexy I'll obviously be aroused by her in lingerie as well but the lingerie itself doesn't add anything, sometimes the intricacy of the garments actually detracts a bit.

People say oh it helps a lady feel sexy, that's great but if she doesn't already feel sexy for her man that's a bit of a problem in itself.

If he says he finds her sexy in everyday wear she should believe him.

I might also be an outlier in saying that I tend to find women sexier in clothes. Of course I would like them to come off eventually but seeing a lady in say a secretary attire gets me going more than a micro bikini for the most part. I guess it's the power of imagination and teasing?

De som klagar på att de inte har råd med maten tror jag inte förstår att det går att leva på 1 000 kr per månad i matkostnad per person.

Tips:

Köp inte bröd från butik. En limpa kostar typ 20–30 kr i butik. Mjöl kostar 15 kr/kg, och du kan baka minst 5 limpor av 1 kg mjöl.

Köp aldrig bakelser från butik. Baka istället i större mängder och frys in. Exempel: Kanelbullar. Du kan baka 20 st med 8 dl mjöl, 1 dl socker och 200 g margarin.

Köp aldrig vatten från butiken. Kranvatten är lika bra, om inte bättre.

Köp inte smör. Margarin är halva priset. 1 kg margarin kostar ca 40 kr, medan 1 kg smör är betydligt dyrare.

Torkade bönor är väldigt billiga. De kostar ca 35 kr/kg och ger många måltider.

Köp köttfärs i storpack och frys in. Ta ut exakt så mycket du behöver.

Köp hel kyckling istället för kycklingfilé. Färska filéer kostar typ 80–100 kr/kg, medan hel kyckling kostar ca 40 kr/kg. Dela upp och frys in det du inte äter direkt.

Satsa på billiga basvaror som pasta, ris och havregryn. Dessa ger mycket energi för pengarna.

Undvik mejeriprodukter om möjligt. De är bland de dyraste livsmedlen.

I wouldn't say I'm experienced or good enough to be artist, but I draw frequently and sometimes post this art. I don't like the way AI is used. I think it's unreasonable to use artists' works in training data without crediting them in any way. But this is where my resentment of generative AI ends.

I see many artists saying the reason AI is bad is because it 'takes away jobs from artists'. I think this is an awful argument. If AI generated images are better than human generated images, then humans need to draw better, especially since AI generated images really aren't that good. If a person needs a product or service and they get it in the way that has the most quality for the least cost, they are only making a wise decision.

This is also a way where people can get images themselves, even if they aren't fully making it. It's convenient for people who need an image but aren't priveleged enough to have money to throw around to commission artists. Is someone who buys microwave food 'taking away jobs from chefs' just because they want food that costs less? An even more accurate compariosn are vocal synths. Is someone who uses a vocal synth to generate singing 'taking away jobs from singers'?

Most of the artist community does not agree with me. I've had artist friends call me a traitor just for suggesting I would give non-nightshaded copies of things I've drawn to people who DM me as long as they promise to give me credit in some way and link to the model/place they post the art so I can make sure they are giving credit. This is definitely an unpopular opinon. Still, I think AI images are a fascinating alternative to art and a good way for artists to make sure their art is good enough for people to buy.

This is my first time visiting Japan and based on many of the itineraries that I saw posted here and what I have seen on social media, I decided to visit both the Nara Deer Park and the Arashiyama Monkey Park.

After seeing both, I would personally not recommend anyone to visit these parks. The animals looked very unhealthy from being fed the same food over and over again. Likely lacking a proper diet from food they would normally get on their own in the wild. The deers are fed crackers that are sold by street vendors around the park. Most deers have had so much of the crackers that they refuse to even eat them when you offer it. There were lots of people that would continue to put the cracker in the deers face even though they clearly weren’t interested. I saw one young deer that was screaming because it was uncomfortable with the people around it but people ignored and continued to invade its space. Most deers had mangy looking fur. The male deers have their antlers removed and shaved down. All in all a very unnatural environment and unhealthy looking deer.

Same thing for the monkeys, there was a store at the top of the park where the monkeys hangout and they sell peanuts that you can buy and feed the monkeys through a fenced room.

I feel very sad for these animals as they are completely being exploited for tourism. I hope I am not the only one here who feels this way.

TLDR: Avoid animal parks. Animals looked unhealthy and sad 😢

Lefties love calling people on right naz!s Yet they are bashing on jewish people and supporting assassinations (luigi &, trump attempt) Who are the actual naz!s here? People need to step back and critical think about how they've been brainwashed into becoming what they hated

This is such a farce.

What are your guys thoughts?

Waited more than 30 minutes in line to drop off my one Amazon return. It makes me crazy how much energy it takes to get all these items delivered RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR and then, what happens to all the returned items??

Now stick with me here. Bloodborne is one of my favourite games and I return to it very often but the people complaining about no remake has just gotten plane annoying like don't get me wrong a remake would be good and all but it doesn't need it the game still looks very good better then dark souls 1 and 2 and they got a remake and it barely changed anything so if there was a bloodborne remake it wouldn't do much and the devs could change more then just looks and that could end up ruining some aspects of the game like certain bosses. So can this community quiet down about the remake bloodborne will get one eventually but in the meantime it looks great and amazing so there isn't any need to complain.
