Notorious b.s.d. posted:

on the one hand, i get what you mean about ethical consumption under capitalism

on the other hand, i am pretty sure it's bad to masturbate to videos of trafficked women being raped. bad in a rather direct and obvious way

there are lots of things to masturbate to, no reason to support human trafficking while you do it

i can't disagree with that, which makes one hope that legitimizing sex work more would help, but i'm not sure how you'd ever really know (which isn't an excuse not to try)

even if one could find ethically-sourced, locally-made, grain-fed, small-batch pornography, the economic duress of it all still casts aspersions

but perhaps the same could be said of all occupations under capitalism

(wish i had solutions here instead of just bemoaning culture, but felt the call to :justpost:)

also the banging quake 2 soundtrack

i was mad for a little at doom 2016's score for cribbing so much from quake 2, which was by far my favorite 'metal' game soundtrack, but in the end i warmed up to mick gordon


also the interstate '76 soundtrack was, like, pivotal to developing my appreciation of funk. a good game

i live super close to this place and the food is actually really good

really sad they stopped making pesto, though; my favorite thing (that used to be pictured on the menu) was a pepperoni pizza with a pesto pentagram on it. pestogram.

also they have negronis on tap

i worked for a guy once that had been an exec or something at realnetworks, he managed to convince a telecom to let him run a small software group

one of the dumbest, worst-dressed (zipoff cargo pants in his late 50s), screams-at-other-people-for-problems-he'd-created dumbasses i've ever met

fortunately HP gave him a job managing kubernetes jockeys. truly the sky is the limit in the computer biz

my brother was working on his neighbor's computer and has a bad habit of tipping back in his chair

the case was the style with the big upside down U cover. they'd removed it and it was behind him

he tipped back too far and threw his arm out. like 37 stitches right in the drumstick.

i still have a scar on my back from falling into an open case- wasn't bad enough to go to a hospital but then again it is america so i avoid medical care at all costs
