Every dead trans woman is a holy spirit that deserves to be worshipped as one of our ancestors (even the ones younger than us that die B4 we do)
I think having agreed upon death rite(s) would be very good for us, I would have more peace of mind about how my death would affect others if I knew my xenosisters were doing nice little magic rituals for me and rituals for themselves to cope I also would want to do the same for the other girls here; everyone of us deserves like little magic rituals to make their deaths easier
Additionally I think we should have a holiday in each of the five seasons to honour our dead
TEHRAN, Aug. 19 (MNA) – European leaders and US President Donald Trump expect to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky in the coming days or weeks, French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters.

@chanon the daughter said she and the fiancé didn’t do their “scents”. I was like, “huh”?
she said that people do their “scents” now and then the photographer takes pictures of the perfume/colognes. I said, why? To post online? Who cares what “your scent” is? It’s not like you’re getting paid by some perfume company. It’s all so stupid.
oh hells, I forgot about that do you remember if it's just around when you take them or if it'll decrease effectiveness if you take vit c during its duration?
i think anything that can be construed as not physical action should be LEGAL, as should posessing everything. if i fedpost something, i damn well be allowed to, thats my freedom of speech to actionably threaten to kill people! and its their freedom of association to file a restraining order against me and regain their NAP. same goes for filling crimes and shit. the possessing thing is about planting evidence and also fuck the feds i WILL stockpile drugs you know what? fuck all of that really, anarchist arc, i fucking hate the government, in theory they can do well and be good but they're too ruined by JEWS
PLEASE help me make rent? And help a trans woman become a therapist?
Goal: $455/$500 for August!!! ($90/month in subscriptions!)
So I have a big favor to ask: help me make part of my portion of the rent this month. My total portion of the rent is more than this, but my partner can cover the rest as long as I can meet $700 a month. My unemployment insurance will run out soon, so I'm trying to stretch it for a few months, and I can do that with your help!
I am preparing to apply to graduate schools for a masters in social work or a masters in clinical psychology. I am also working with limited spoons from disability and burnout after losing my job earlier this year. With your support, I can focus on my grad school applications and still have capacity to return to writing regularly! If I can't meet this goal, I will need to find at least a part-time job and probably be too stretched thin to write again.
Help me become a therapist and support my writing either by giving at my Patreon or directly to me through my newsletter's website.

If Trump did anything remotely like this, the leftists universally would call it obvious authoritarian fascism and all of the actors “loyalists”. But instead they call Trump’s cabinet speaking out against it obvious authoritarian fascism and loyalists.
Totalitarians always call the oppressed the oppressors and they always believe it with sincerity because that’s what brings themselves to becoming totalitarian.
We really should be teaching the early history of the Soviet Union
We ALL know the details of Russiagate. Either prosecute or shut up.
Thre are other things that need attention. No one really trusts the gubmint. How about releasing the details on Epstein? Its not about young girls willingly prostituting themselves. Its about what orgainzations were funding him, who was involved, and what influence was being pedaled.

how did doom become the meme thing you port to weird devices? like, why doom and not some other game? not complaining, curious about the history of how this part of hacker culture came into being
In addition to the other good answers given here, back in the heyday of DOOM not everyone had a computer powerful enough to run it. "Can your computer ruin DOOM?" became kind of a cutoff defining whether your '90s PC was cool.
Later, as random appliances and devices started appearing which were basically stripped-down computers at least as beefy as those '90s PCs, hacking DOOM onto such a thing became a marker for how cool the device is and how cool you are for making it work.
@purple In addition to other answers, it created the FPS as we know it. It’s weird for a genre defining hit to be as fun as it was, and *also* not age that badly. There’s an active WAD scene today. People are still making and playing *new* Doom levels today.
We can’t say that about the original Rogue (it sucks) or early CRPGs/JRPGs, but the OG FPS: still fun to play.
it was one of the first games with high production values to be open-sourced, and the authors were fond of blogging about the clever parts
it's hard to quantify but it was also a game which had received a very large amount of fan effort in reverse-engineering it, building out tooling around it, making custom levels, etc

Turning Quiet Months into Opportunities for Growth
Amusement parks thrive on seasonal peaks, often witnessing overwhelming visitor numbers during holidays and school breaks. Yet, the real challenge lies in maintaining profitability during quieter months when attendance dwindles. Effective off-season marketing requires innovation, precise targeting, and creative reallocation of resources. By implementing calculated strategies, parks can transform low-traffic periods into opportunities for revenue generation and brand reinforcement.
Leveraging Seasonal Themes
One of the most direct ways to attract visitors during off-peak times is through thematic events. Transforming the park into a Halloween spectacle, a winter wonderland, or a cultural festival creates fresh appeal for returning guests. These overlays encourage multiple visits per year, as each season offers a distinct atmosphere. A top spin ride cloaked in eerie lighting and sound effects, for instance, takes on an entirely new persona during a Halloween event, delivering an experience different from its standard operation. Such strategies not only drive attendance but also increase secondary spending on food, merchandise, and themed souvenirs.
Targeted Promotions and Dynamic Pricing
In the off-season, price sensitivity becomes more pronounced. Implementing dynamic pricing models—such as discounted weekday tickets, bundled family passes, or “bring-a-friend” offers—can incentivize attendance. Tailored promotions aimed at local residents are particularly effective, as they require lower travel commitment. Membership schemes, offering year-round access at a fixed rate, also encourage frequent visits even during low-demand months. By rewarding loyalty with exclusive perks, parks ensure steady cash flow regardless of seasonality.
Diversifying Audience Segments
During quieter months, the park has the capacity to attract alternative audiences beyond the typical family demographic. Corporate retreats, school field trips, and community events can fill attendance gaps. Parks that promote their venues as multifunctional spaces for conferences, team-building exercises, or educational programs benefit from incremental revenue while broadening brand perception. Facilities adjacent to fairground rides for sale demonstrations, for example, could double as educational showcases of engineering and physics, appealing to schools seeking practical learning environments.
Enhancing Digital Engagement
Digital platforms serve as powerful tools to maintain visibility when visitation slows. Off-season campaigns can highlight behind-the-scenes content, staff interviews, or ride maintenance updates to keep audiences engaged. Interactive campaigns, such as virtual park tours or teaser videos of upcoming attractions, maintain anticipation and build momentum for the next peak season. Limited-time online contests and giveaways further encourage audience interaction, keeping the park relevant in the digital space even when physical foot traffic is light.
Maximizing Ancillary Revenue Streams
When direct ticket sales decline, parks can intensify focus on alternative revenue channels. Branded merchandise, seasonal collectibles, and bundled experiences such as dining packages or photo sessions create additional income. Hosting small-scale concerts, food festivals, or artisan markets within the park leverages existing infrastructure to draw niche audiences. These events ensure that attractions, from a top spin ride to family-friendly carousels, continue to operate with relevance, supporting both guest satisfaction and operational sustainability.
Collaboration and Partnerships
Strategic partnerships expand reach and visibility during low seasons. Collaborating with travel agencies, local hotels, or regional attractions allows for package deals that appeal to tourists and residents alike. Co-marketing campaigns, particularly those tied to cultural or regional celebrations, help sustain visitor flow. Parks can also partner with manufacturers showcasing fairground rides for sale, using the installations as temporary exhibits that double as promotional attractions, offering novelty without permanent capital expenditure.
Utilizing Space for Offbeat Experiences
Amusement parks often possess expansive grounds that remain underutilized during off-seasons. Repurposing these spaces for unconventional activities—such as outdoor movie nights, fitness challenges, or farmers’ markets—keeps the park active and ensures a steady influx of local visitors. Seasonal workshops for children, ranging from art to science-themed projects, can also be hosted within indoor facilities, strengthening the park’s role as a community hub.
Data-Driven Optimization
Off-season strategies are most effective when guided by data. By analyzing visitor behavior, spending habits, and demographic shifts, parks can tailor promotions with surgical precision. For instance, if data reveals that young adults are more likely to attend after work hours, parks can schedule evening entertainment with extended ride operations. Tracking performance metrics ensures that off-season campaigns are not merely experimental but yield measurable returns.
Conclusion
Sustaining profitability during the off-season requires more than discounting tickets. It calls for a multifaceted approach that integrates thematic reinvention, digital engagement, alternative audience cultivation, and strategic partnerships. By creatively repositioning existing assets such as a top spin ride, and exploring collaborations involving fairground rides for sale, amusement parks can ensure steady relevance and financial resilience throughout the year. The off-season, rather than a liability, becomes an arena for innovation, preparing parks for sustained growth and stronger brand loyalty.

@TurdFerguson I'm not convinced of that. I think giant egos crashed. Also, Elon is politically naive. He thinks you give directives and they get implemented. Not so with Congress.
Not sure this will happen. Look how fast Trump and the rest of GOP kicked him to the curb when he had a nervous breakdown of sorts. Trump was cruel in comments. Elon may just swing with the party who offers Tesla the best options.
