I only played RoR 2 and i never understood RoR 1.

Maybe you're right - two different audiences?

Im being edge-y and they don't say those words. But the implication is there.

Borderline: "You look like Lucy Liu! I loved her in Charlie's Angels."

Real creep: "Mindy Kaling is HOT with a capital T! Easily the best girl in the Office."

As a dude, I've had creepy women compare me to actors who are skin colored like me. They're not licking their lips like I'm a piece of meat, but it's a start of "Okay was that a compliment or a start of your fetishizing?"

I wonder how many western artists create satire and then a random country like Chile is like, "Oh my god Americans do that?"

Eh, anyway, as a frugal agnostic, I don't care either way.

I read furry agnostic and for a moment thought, "Oh shit furries don't like Christmas? TIL TIL."

I'm trying to answer honestly and I don't know how to explain this through the internet. You're not the only person whose asked this. And Ive explained this to a personal friend (who is white) why his comments weren't flirting, but really creepy. So I hope this provide some clarity.

There's just cues that the person drops that are clear indicators that the person is a asiaphile at the creepiest level.

I work in tech, I'm a POC, I have lots of friends and family who are also POC, and we share things. We've all had some experience where we're in a room and some creepy (can be male or female) person just hits those notes. Where they see me, and rather talk about me as a person, go straight into my skin color, family background, ethnicity, how I look like thirst-trap person that they jerk off too, etc.

Is it bad to be someone's fetish? Depends on how lonely/horny you are. Often, it's creepy. Because they don't see you as a person but rather as a object. That's just me. Maybe both parties like being each other's fetish - mutual fetishism. I dunno.

Maybe Ask your friend group/circle of people. Like when you ask women if they can spot a creep, and they point out very specific elements that separately, are meaningless. But when the creep hits all those targets, it's a sign to leave the room.

Also, it depends on a lot of things. Your party of the world might have different takes on what is creepy fetishism. And as an American, I can't speak for that side of things.

Is this strangely erotic or am I just American?

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Wait really?

Am I sitting on a pile of corn tortilla gold?

he called the leader of that successful operation a "pedo" for absolutely no reason other than his own childish idiocy.

Come on Muskrat call the CEO of Lockheed Martin a pedo

I cannot explain how disgustingly evil it is to witness the suffering of individuals, whether due to substance abuse, illness, or homelessness, and dismiss it as untruthful.

The numbers to fix homelessness may be controversial, with some sites saying it was 20 billion in 2010 and that's just to provide vouchers for a year, and some fact checking sites saying it can cost $60 billion in a year.

The primary concern is the actions of a South African billionaire, whose net worth is $350 billion. Instead of recognizing the complexities of a significant social issue, he appears to dehumanize those affected and assigns blame, rather than offering assistance.

What a fucking evil take.

I bought lunch for my team of five and it came to $75 with tip.

Fuck me. This was like basic sandwiches, chips, and a soda.

Next time, I'll just bring them over to my house and make steaks for everybody for the same price.

In an interview originally featured in Japanese strategy guides and now available on Shmuplations, the legendary developer and producer of Super Mario 64 discussed the game's development at length. When discussing playtesting, Miyamoto revealed that the team had a group of 10 middle schoolers, including his own child, play around on King Bob-omb's stage, Bob-omb Battlefield.

"Seeing him try dozens of times, over and over, to get up this unclimbable hill, as a parent I couldn't help but think, 'Geez, does this kid have any brains?'" Miyamoto laughed. Thankfully, the children's abilities (or lack thereof) aside, the playtest had been a success. "Afterwards we asked the children what they thought of the game, and they said it was fun, and that they wanted to play it again."

According to police, Charles Smith, 27, entered the Walmart at 1955 S. Stapley Dr. on Dec. 19 intending to film pranks for social media platforms.

Instead, police said Smith grabbed a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from a shelf without paying for it and then sprayed the pesticide on various vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase.

Smith recorded his face, the pesticide can and the act of him spraying its contents. He later posted the recording online.

“My sense is that many enterprise WordPress administrators will think twice about continuing to use the software under these circumstances,” said IDC Research Manager Michele Rosen. “It’s such a shame to watch a leader in the open source community repeatedly sabotage his own project.”

“At this point, I have real concerns about the impact of Matt Mullenweg’s words and actions on the overall image of open source software,” she added. “Even if he feels that WP Engine’s actions are unethical and the court is wrong, his actions are clearly having an impact on the WordPress ecosystem, including his own business. It seems self-destructive.”
