A Little Bit Opera, A Little Bit....

artician says...

That's it, I think I've finally figured it out.

Every night, each host is put into a cold-storage unit until the next show. When they're unboxed for the next taping, their minds are wiped and reverted to an early stage of childhood, so they may emerge into a world of light, color and fantasy, and gawk genuinely at the most mundane, absurd, and overproduced shit-shows humanity has yet to create.

The talking heads on most of these reality shows are the personified equivalent of the laugh-track. Just there to convince you to feel whatever emotion the creators want you to have.

Anyway, opera!

Someone stole naked pictures of me. This is what I did about

Touchy subject. Can't really say or comment about the issue. But given that most incidents have a reactive counter-measures, there is also a pro-active method to ensuring that such sensitive photos aren't somehow leaked.

People take for granted the ability to store the photos that they've taken in the cloud. This is convenience that a lot of people like, myself included. However, by storing a digital photo onto the cloud, two things happen: the photo is there "forever" and the photo can be stolen, nearly irregardless of security.

As far as security, the first and only line of defense is the password. Unfortunately we live in a day and age where password won't work no matter what you use -- complex, generated, correcthorsebattery (or whatever it was), and what else there is. Given time, the password will be cracked and the account compromised. We, as human beings, prefer convenience and are willing to give up security in order to make it easier for us to remember the billions of accounts that we have laying around -- Twitter, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. Having that one-password-fits-all kind of system, the line of defense is very thin and can break easily.

The pro-active method for intimate photos is to simply not store them onto the cloud. Instead, back them up into cold storage. Put it onto a backup drive and unplug it when it's not in use. It'll be inconvenient for many. But in most cases, it'll make it very difficult for anyone to steal those photos that some treasure so much. Once the photos are backed up, delete them off the device.

So yeah, most people would say to not take the photo in the first place. Unfortunately for me, I'm one who would say that too. Dammit...

It's unfortunate for anyone whose intimate photos are stolen. I know these victims must remain vigilant and strong to fend off the morons who make stupid comments about it. But the mind can only take so much verbal abuse. The sad thing about it all is that it doesn't matter whose at fault or who is to blame. Everyone loses.

Some Little Bug Is Going to Find You

ctrlaltbleach says...

In these days of indigestion it is oftentimes a question
As to what to eat and what to leave alone.
Every microbe and bacillus has a different way to kill us
And in time they all will claim us for their own.
There are germs of every kind in every food that you can find
In the market or upon the bill of fare.
Drinking water's just as risky as the so-called "deadly" whiskey
And it's often a mistake to breathe the air.

Cho: For some little bug is going to get you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you some day.
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your troubles they will end,
For some little bug is gonna find you someday.

The inviting green cucumber, it's most everybody's number
While sweetcorn has a system of its own.
Now, that radish seems nutritious, but its behavior is quite vicious
And a doctor will be coming to your home.
Eating lobster, cooked or plain, is only flirting with ptomaine,
While an oyster often has a lot to say.
And those clams we eat in chowder make the angels sing the louder
For they know that they'll be with us right away.

For some little bug is going to get you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you some day.
Eat that juicy sliced pineapple ;and the sexton dusts the chapel
Oh, yes, some little bug is gonna find you some day.

When cold storage vaults I visit, I can only say, "What is it
Makes poor mortals fill their systems with such stuff?"
Now, at breakfast prunes are dandy if a stomach pump is handy
And a doctor can be called quite soon enough.

Eat a plate of fine pig's knuckles and the headstone cutter chuckles
While the gravedigger makes a mark upon his cuff.
And eat that lovely red bologna and you'll wear a wood kimona
As your relatives start packing up your stuff.

Those crazy foods they fix, they'll float us 'cross the River Styx
Or start us climbing up the Milky Way.
And those meals they serve in courses mean a hearse and two black horses
So before meals, some people always pray.

Luscious grapes breed appendicitis, while their juice leads to gastritis
So there's only death to greet us either way.
Fried liver's nice, but mind you, friends will follow close behind you
And the papers, they will have nice things to say.

For some little bug is going to get you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you some day.
Eat that spicy bowl of chili, on your breast they'll plant a lily .
Oh, yes, some little bug is gonna find you some day.

Ex Porn Star Shelley Lubben Speaks Against Porn

thepinky says...

That's the key, isn't it? This so-called "need". If you don't find the love of your life and a committed relationship, is porn your only option? I don't really see what need it's fulfilling. Indeed, it seems more like an exacerbation of the problem. It is neither emotionally nor sexually satisfying. I'll be honest and say that I can't relate. To me it seems logical (but then again, I'm a girl) that if you can't get laid, you avoid sexual arousal instead of actively seeking it out. Porn is not just the release of sexual tension, it is the augmentation of it. Or so I should think? Is the need for sex such that men need to both arouse and release in order to feel fulfilled? Or could they release sexual frustration only when it happens on its own? I have a hard time believing that men are sex machines that just can't function without regular porn use. And if they are, is it a learned behavior? Not that we aren't meant to have and desire sex, because we are. But porn itself is so perverse and psychologically damaging (because of the lies and the degradation it thrives on) that I cannot believe nor accept that men are wired to need it. What did single people do before prostitutes and pornography? I'm guessing that they lived in a world where sex was something that you do with a partner, and something that you hold in cold storage as much as you possible until it's needed.

I don't think sex is bad. Sex is great and good. I just don't think that anyone truly needs to participate in sexual perversion (the porn industry) to be healthy, happy, and (reasonably) satisfied.

Wipeout 64 / Pulse / Pure / XL / 2097 / HD / Fusion

Farhad2000 says...

Wipeout has been one of my favorite games since it's release on the PC, it was the first I remember playing that would really convey the feeling of actually racing at preposterous speeds.

The interesting thing is that the original developers actually hired professional designers to come up with the distinctive look and feel of the futuristic world, especially in the logos and various billboards around the race tracks. Some of which you can see in the video above.

The soundtrack was perfect as well featuring throughout the series artists like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Leftfield and Cold Storage. Electronic techno beats that leaded themselves perfectly to the anti-gravity racing.
