The Rancher's Wife
A blonde city girl, named Amy, marries a Colorado rancher.
One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy: “The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow's stall is, in the barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?"
The rancher leaves for the fields.
After a while, the artificial insemination ...
man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn.
They walk along the row of cows and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, "This is the one right here."
The man, assuming he is dealing with an air head blond, asks, "Tell me lady, cause I'm dying to know, how would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?"
"That's simple," she said. "By the nail that's over its stall," she explains very confidently.
Laughing rudely at her, the man says,
"And what, pray tell, is the nail for?"
The blond turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, "I guess it's to hang your pants on."
(It's nice to see a blonde winning once in awhile.)

am friendly but after i was accused of sexual harassment, i stop been flirty, walk away from them and finally there are a few who i just said hi and a comment in conversation and bereded me, so they are dead to me, i ignore their very existence.
i wish to start a family in the future but, i don't want a relationship with a woman that way, fuck dating, the last few times i had sex, i end up paranoid of pregnancy.
Something I realized about separating responsibility from authority is that it creates an endless cycle of apathy and degradation.
If you have responsibility for something but no authority and a problem happens, you just want to the problem to go away as fast as possible. But since you have no authority there’s nothing you can do to prevent other problems from happening.
So you just become apathetic and lazy & you just want to “make it to Friday” endlessly. And that’s why nothing gets better.

Estaba leyendo que se estima que aproximadamente un 30% del contenido musical de Deezer es generado por IA. Probablemente en Spotify pasa lo mismo, además de que Spotify los sugiere por sobre artistas reales.
Hay una banda (la de la imagen) generada por IA en Spotify que tiene 500 mil oyentes mensuales, lo que genera 200USD por mes.
Todo indica que en el futuro (demasiado) cercano las plataformas de streaming de música estarán completamente basadas en música generada por IA, pagando menos comisión a artistas reales.
@fcoarias, bueno, aunwue fake bands siempre han existido, mucho tiempo antes de AI. Por ejemplo, asi de pronto, Boney M, Koko Mia y otros, donde se usaba algunos chavales carentes de talento, para que actuaban con play back en el escenario.
La industria discografica ha hecho mucho daño a la musica y el arte durante mucho tiempo. Pujando estrellitas incapaz de cantar o tocar alguna nota derecha sin samplers y electronica, mientras artistas verdaderos están muriendo de asco tocando en el Metro.
Que ahora usan AI es sólo una consecuencia y desarrollo lógico para lanzar discos en cadena para el consumo rápido.

Tucker was fired because he covered the Jan 6th videos on his show. The network owners were annoyed that he wasn't following orders and too much of a free hand so they fired him. At the time, he was the top ranked show by viewers on any network.
After he went independent he found he could actually earn more money than on his former Fox contract. He has continued to release top tier interviews.
Fox tried to sue him to prevent him from making content but their lawsuit failed.

Yeah cryptocurrency so far looks like a non-starter as an actual alternative because you still effectively end up with exchange points (banks original form) due to the stupid amount of different cryptocurrencies.
And their fees are stupidly high you might as well pay the 1€ extortion that your bank has (luckily mine hasn't pulled that crap for SMS-2FA).
Pretty much why so far it's mostly been used for grey/black market kind of stuff as for them the only other way is cash.

Just like Sudan and Gaza, these feminists and fake women's rights warriors don't give a rats ass about these women.

"Syria’s Alawite communities are in the grip of a fear that their women and girls could be kidnapped and held as sabaya, or sex slaves. After the Assad dictatorship fell, amid revenge attacks by militias loyal to the country’s new rulers, there were reports of abductions for rape and even of forced marriage. Alawite human rights activists say that some women are still being held prisoner and that kidnappings are still happening. They accuse the Syrian authorities of being unwilling or unable to stop it."

I visited Durham once before but that might well have been more than twenty years ago. I remember the cathedral very well, but the town itself is much nicer than I remember.
I've spent the whole afternoon traipsing about, buying books in the cathedral gift shop and the local three storey Waterstones. If I didn't have a baggage limit, I'd have spent dangerous amounts of money in there...
So far this has been an extremely smooth trip. I collected my fabric-printed posters and the quality is excellent : better than our office's paper printer. Total delay on the trains : 4 minutes. Now I just have to survive the week and get down to Cardiff.

It might be a long shot, but I have to try.
If there is anyone out there with a scanner, who has issue 11 of Total! magazine, would you be willing to scan a part of a page for me.
Below is the cover of this issue as well as the affected page.
A previous owner has cut out a coupon on the opposite side.
That side is no issue as the ad is reprinted in the following issue as well, which I have, so I can replace that easily.
The problem is page number 61, where the bottom review for a Super Nintendo game is also gone.
If anyone can get me a clean scan of this part, I'd be able to complete this magazine without any missing sections.
*EDIT*
For the people who might see this post for the first time.
A kind soul has bought a copy of this issue himself and will be scanning the missing part.

BİR DAHA KİMSEYE MUHTAÇ OLMAMAK İÇİN
Mahmut Uzun
Hiçbir Yahudi, Auschwitz fırınlarında yanarken “Yaşasın Demokratik Almanya!” demedi.
Hiçbir Yahudi, kendisini gaz odalarına gönderen devlete güzelleme yapmadı.
Hiçbir Yahudi, faşizmin gölgesinde oyalanmadı.
Onlar ne yaptılar?
Bir daha kimseye muhtaç olmamak için İsrail’i kurdular.
Peki biz ne yaptık?
Ne yaptı bu halk, Roboskî’de paramparça edilirken?
Zîlan’da, Dersim’de, Mahmur’da, Serêkaniyê’de katledilirken?
Ne yaptı bu halk, cezaevlerinde binlerce yiğidini kaybederken, dağlarda bedenleri kimsesiz bırakılırken?
Biz ne yaptık?
Biz, bize kurşun sıkanlara “demokratikleşme umudu” yükledik.
Bize inkârı reva görenlerin Meclisinde “çözüm aradık.”
Bizi fişleyen, yargılayan, yok sayanların yargısına “adalet” dedik.
Ve bazı Kürtler, hâlâ, o devleti kutsuyor.
Hâlâ Ankara’nın gölgesinde bir siyaset inşa etmeye çalışıyorlar.
Hâlâ bu barbar devletin, Türkiyeleşme masalının peşinden sürükleniyorlar.
Oysa halkımızın tarihi kanla, inkârla, imhayla yazıldı.
Oysa hepimiz biliyoruz:
Bu sistemin demokrasiyle, adaletle, eşitlikle hiçbir bağı yok.
Bu devlet Kürtlere ne verdi?
Kırımı, sürgünü, dil yasağını, mezarsızlığı…
Ve şimdi bizden ne istiyorlar?
Bu faşist düzene biat etmemizi, düşmanımızla barışmamızı, zalimi affetmemizi…
Hayır!
Kürt halkı, Yahudilerin yaptığı gibi bir onur savaşı vermedikçe özgür olamaz.
Faşizmin kırıntılarına razı olanlar, kendi halkına ihanet eder.
Demokrasi masallarına tutunanlar, sadece yeni bir inkârın zeminini hazırlar.
Unutmayın: PKK, Apo ve Kürt özgürlük hareketi, tam da bunun için doğdu.
Baş eğmemek için.
Biat etmemek için.
Bir daha kimseye muhtaç olmamak için.
Şimdi sorumluluk hepimizin.
Ya şerefimizle direniriz, ya da bir halk olarak kendimizi inkâr ederiz.
Tercih, her Kürdün vicdanında yankılanıyor.
Ya onurlu bir gelecek…
Ya da düşmanın sofrasında utançla yaşamak.
Tercih sizin.
Ama tarih affetmeyecek.

His daughter, who by now was three decades old, had two lions as pets. No one knew. No one cared.
These animals were well cared for and the Veterinarian was on 24/7 call if necessary.
One day, the local newspaper did an article on her lions. What an uproar.

BEWARE: The Greater Israel Project moving full speed ahead:😡
🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria has been placed back on the table, with 15 Likud ministers—including Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana—signing a letter urging Netanyahu to do just that before the Knesset’s summer session ends on July 27.
Why annexation? Extending Israeli sovereignty over the entire of Judea and Samaria would “prevent another massacre in the heart of the country” and “ensure Israel’s security for generations,” the ministers wrote.
And why now? While according to the letter, the time for annexation is ripe following “the State of Israel’s historic achievements in the face of Iran’s axis of evil and its sympathizers,” there’s certainly more to this story.
For one, this may well be a right-wing attempt to attain compensation for ending the war in Gaza—or even a ceasefire. And they’re likely hoping for support from President Trump, whose 2020 Israeli-Palestinian peace plan would have seen Israel annex settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Indeed, right-wing Israeli activists are maintaining direct contacts with the Trump administration on this very issue. Bibi, they believe, has other priorities with the president, such as Iran’s nuclear program and normalization with Syria and Saudi Arabia—and, as a result, they fear he isn’t really pressing the White House on annexation.
But there’s also another possibility: This could all be a ploy to help push an expansion of the Abraham Accords. How so? In June 2020, while Netanyahu seriously discussed unilaterally annexing parts of Judea and Samaria, the UAE’s Ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al-Otaiba wrote an op-ed on the front page of Yedioth Ahronoth, warning that “Israeli plans for annexation and talk of normalization are a contradiction.”
Skip forward three months: The annexation dream is dropped, and Israel, the UAE and Bahrain are signing the Abraham Accords at the White House.
They’re unlikely to admit it, but those 15 ministers may well remember Yousef Al-Otaiba’s plea—and have now set their sights on Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman.
When I was a kid, my grandfather and family urged the plate be finished: "there are starving Armenians!" Now I made bitinjan w ful ma’ beyd and it was delicious (made the pickled onions a couple nights ago). While grateful to have it--I could only think of the kids in Palestine dying for such delicious fare. And all I could do was curse the west for its profiteering, racist, psychotic horror and cruelty in supporting Israel's nazi regime of war crimes and genocide.
