I am so tempted to make a Bondage/Submission joke here, you have no idea.

The only thing stopping me is I can't brain up one that's funny enough.

Sincere. Similar issues, arising from a life poorly spent under heavy self-justification/delusion and natural manipulative tendencies, both inward and outward, to point of, incidents.

Advice. In times of doubt for self motives/intentions, assess and break down personal goals for the issue into atomic concepts and parse exactly what you are subconsciously aiming for. Helps combat considerable amounts of unnoticed tendencies and/or identifies areas of concern, or if the core intention(s) is still sound is greatly reassuring in proving sincerity.
 
So… I've apparently become a bit claustrophobic. Being inside my friends house too long makes me feel like the walls are closing in. The porch is nice though and it's not nearly so unbearably hot here, so it's been manageable.
Being stuck out here in the holler is gonna be an issue though. It's way too far for me to walk to the grocery, much less anything else.

Anyone know if Temu is legit? I'm looking for a way to at least get an electric scooter/bike.

I'm currently recovering from homelessness and trying to rebuild my life and buy an electric bike/scooter to facilitate that.

Temu is a real company which sells real products, and it successfully competes in supply chain efficiency against Amazon.

Those products are of varying quality though.

A friend of mine bought a lot of knick-knacks through Temu and some of them were perfectly fine, while others were hilariously low-quality trademark rip-offs.

There's probably a way to find out the specific product & vendor and check that combo for reviews (off-site).

Temu is a few steps above wish.com in that most products are not outright scams, but it is still an extremely strong case of caveat emptor. It is possible that you can buy an inexpensive scooter of a good quality even considering the price, but more likely you will get a cheap scooter that kind of works, or need one that doesn't work or breaks very quickly.
 
I bought a really great meter long buttplug on Temu.

Also got a nice pair of clip-on nipple and bellybutton rings.

Idle musing. One of the more useful life skills I have developed over the years is the ability to switch off my brain in times of need, defaulting to extremely rigid process-action loops and ignoring a majority of external and internal stimuli.

Does affect complex planning somewhat, but noted marked increase in reaction/motion speed when I simply stop processing stress, fatigue or physical pain for a time. Also a great solution for natural indecisiveness.

...concern. Have I inadvertently devolved myself into a neural network, or a decision tree? Oh well, nothing of value was lost.

Modern English question, sort of: are there any other 1-3 symbol expressions besides the ye olde XXX that would be suggestive or, better yet, obscene without being graphic or a literal word?

I think? Never got into drawing ASCII dicks, but it's a thing. The 3 might be wrong, but I can't remember what was there. Number of >>>>> variable.
 
I don't think I've shared this with you all...

I can tell you, factually, that the Earth is Flat.



















You see, the Earth is around 71% water, right?

And it's uncarbonated water, right?

Well there you go, the Earth is flat.



(Some jokes you tell to make others laugh. Others you tell to make others groan, which makes you laugh :D )

(If we had a Dislike button I have a feeling this post would skyrocket.)

More carbon dioxide goes into the ocean all the time these days, due to greenhouse gases being produced, mostly by human activity. This has been making the oceans warmer, more acidic, and less hospitable to life over time. And when this also creates more bubbles zones of water, fish and other aquatic life forms are less able to swim or breathe, and combined with the heat, die in great numbers.

Also, 71% of the Earth's surface is water. The inner Earth has much less compared to things like carbon and iron.

So the ocean is curved and flat, while getting less flat over time, to everyone's detriment, while the Earth is round.
 
I was watching YouTube and once my video was finished, I got hit by next video thumbnail which says as I quote: "Do you see now that your breasts can be as devastating as Armed Torpedoes."
 
Ok might not be the best place to ask this but I figure I might as well try.

Do any of you know of any good Text-to-Speech and/or Speech-to-Text programs?

The defaults that I have with windows do the job but I'm sick of robot voice and the default Speech-to-text doesn't handle Japanese names well at all.

It wouldn't be to bad if I could teach the program the spelling of the word and how I say it but that's not a feature.

I would prefer to avoid any subscription based things but I'm no adverse to a single payment.

Anywho, thanks for the help.
 
I'm guilty of arguing with people that I've blocked. Am I going to get infracted or banned?
