If you're going to make a yacht that long and square why not just install a runway on the side so you can land your private aircraft-carrier-capable jet instead of having to take a slow helicopter

If there's not a button somewhere that ejects all that luxury bullshit into the see and reveals a bunch of high tech evil army jets and race cars and poo poo I'm going to be very disappointed.

I mean it seems to be about as big as like, a world war 2-era aircraft carrier, I think you could make it work :shrug:

e: Maybe not with something as big as a full size business jet but if you had one of those ski-jump decks you could probably get it working with one of those smaller jets. It helps that it's only carrying your fat rear end and not a giant payload of bombs n' poo poo

I mean when you're building something that big you might as well go all-out and build the stealth boat that can fire nuclear missiles from Tomorrow Never Dies

I miss stealing stuff from my job. My current job has nothing good to take, I haven't stolen anything good in like 5 years now. When I worked retail I got so much free stuff. Of course the pay is better outside of retail but no free stuff.

Sometimes I think back on all the stuff I ever stole from different jobs and I realize that I never felt bad about any of it, I still don't.

my bestie used to be an assistant manager at Gamestop for years and they fired him over $100 worth of stolen merchandise.

wait let me rephrase, they fired him because one of the drones working under him stole $100 worth of merchandise and my friend apparently didn't use his batman detective powers to find out and stop him.

Isn't the latest hotness electromagnetic rail gun launcher things? Just get one of those. I mean sure the only ones actually deployed are all on ships with nuclear reactors due to requiring ludicrous amounts of power but "having the world's only nuclear-powered yacht" would be such a cool thing to brag to your rich friends about owning and never using

My work fired someone for stealing a bag of fried chicken once, but they didn’t fire the deli manager over it. That’s just loving stupid.

Yeah I was about to comment those are life-boats that are bigger than most boats, I didn't notice that the one facing the viewer has no way to reach the water.
That picture just keeps on giving. Kinda like the Woke Menu I posted having a "6 day war" burrito (made with pork) and a Tyrion Lannister appetizer (bite sized chicken tendies)

Also I guarantee that massive single port hole window right in the middle by the waterline is a window into a giant room containing nothing but a single expensive desk and chair for them to do evil business at and a trap door for dumping people into the piranha tank

I guess hiring an F1 racer to give up his career and instead drive around this miniature track at a walking speed would be in character for whoever is responsible for his project.

quote:

Those that are brave enough not to medicate away the pain are forced, increasingly, to turn to grotesque and demeaning lives to make ends meet. The rise of camgirls and online-escorting-to-pay-for-grad-school and so on is one example. There’s nothing wrong with sex work, and if you choose it, great — but my feeling is that many women aren’t choosing it so much as they’re being compelled into it by financial hardship. That’s a common feature, too, of collapsing societies — their women have to sell their bodies to support their men and themselves — hence, we Americans make fun of the Eastern European sex industry, Thai child prostitutes, mail order brides, but we don’t quite connect the dots — that’s what capitalism is doing now to our women, too. It’s another thing we don’t discuss, because we’re too busy lionizing sex work to wonder: is it just a coincidence sex is being commodified and harvested for profit in more extreme forms, at the precise moment our society’s collapsing?

What about men who have neither affluent families, and can’t sell themselves like women? They turn to digital gig work, many of them — driving Ubers and TaskRabbiting and so forth. While those gigs might help drive “down” the unemployment rate, it’s an illusion, at best — because you can’t do it forever. It’s not just not a career — it’s the opposite of one: an activity that invests nothing in your human or emotional or social capital. It’s another way to sell your body, essentially — because you can’t develop your mind, heart, or soul. That’s not to say people don’t pay for school with Uber or camming or so forth — sure they do — the point is: should they have to? What does it cost us all when those are the choices on offer?

When I worked in gourmet popcorn my step stool to be able to stir popcorn in the caramelizer was a milk crate.

I'm very happy I never hurt myself because it turned out the owner did not have workers comp. My fiancees mom found that out when she got in a car accident on the clock and her lawyer had her file for it.
