What are the sexiest horror movies?
Two great tastes that do not often taste great together, but I’d say the 1981 film Possession with Isabelle Adjani is one. That is, of actually good movies. There are tons of horror movies that are terrible that have random breasts in them or whatever.
Depraved sensuality is not exactly a sub rosa theme of that work (original movie poster):
Though do watch the full version, as the filmmaker intended; the redacted variants are all crap.

Country music can capture a set of feelings that no other genre can: that of abject existential regret and soul-deep anguish. That’s when it’s at its very best and why I love it.
Always remember all Chinese companies must assist with espionage. Treat them all like subsidiaries of the CCP. https://t.co/8FwMx6LQdw

People claim the US does the same thing. Sometimes, sort of. But the difference is that any Chinese company is actually under the full control of the CCP. They are all extended intelligence-gathering operations by design. It is one of their primary purposes.
And who would want that?
Woman-on-woman sexual harassment. Has anyone experienced this?
Was told this never happens. Probably far more common than we think because I bet it’s almost never reported (far below even male-female harassment report levels).
By way of anecdote I’ve personally known two women who were being sexually harassed by other women and nope, they never reported it.

Only Gen X and older Millennials know how to use a computer to get anything done. The rest are utterly incompetent. It’s sad because smartphones and tablets are only 1/1000 as powerful as even the worst computer.
Before ChatGPT, I thought philosophical zombies were a cool thought experiment but impossible.
Now I realize I was wrong. They are possible. And they will be here soon. I’m still uncertain what that says about humanity in general, if anything.
just heard an older guy refer to a 12-pack of beer a night after work as a "normal amount"
excuse me?

I once witnessed my mom drink two 18-packs of Coors Light (her preferred poison) in about three hours. Yes, that’s 36 12-ounce beers. And yes, that’s fucking insane.
By the way, she was 5’2″ and weighed maybe 140 pounds.
After they hand-wash my car with a toothbrush, I point them at more advanced tasks like organizing the office supplies by color, size and country of origin. Then when that’s done, I make them put on a jester costume and cavort. If there is not enough cavorting, a taser can solve that most of the time.
Following their generous three minute lunch, I have them really dig into some work by doing some important gardening at my house. They must rent all the tools from me, of course. It’s only fair.
After that, I list them as dependents on my taxes and open some credit cards in their names.
And that’s a good start in the American economy for any intern.
Actual conversation I had today at work (on Slack, paraphrased and condensed to remove company information and for clarity):
Them: (User) has an ongoing issue that needs to be resolved and hasn’t been fixed by your team.
Me: Ok, what’s the ticket number? I looked through the queue and didn’t see anything from that person.
Them: They haven’t put in a ticket for the issue.
Me: No worries, did they let anyone know to it was a problem so we could enter a ticket and work on it?
Them: No, they mentioned it to me [their manager] and said no one had fixed it yet.
Me: So there was no ticket and they didn’t let anyone know about the problem?
Them: No, but it still needs to be fixed as it’s been broken for a while and it’s causing them to miss meetings. Isn’t your team monitoring things?
Me: We have monitoring in place for all infrastructure, but we have no way of knowing about anything being non-functional if it’s never reported. We do not monitor every single bit of functionality of every application on every single computer out there. That’s just not possible.
Readers, the “broken” thing was that the user had turned notifications off for Outlook and forgot or didn’t know how to turn them back on. And then never reported it or even Googled the issue. Ain’t no monitoring in the got-damn universe would ever catch that.
Ukraine Was Just Knifed In The Back.
Well, guess we’ll be fighting in Poland soon. Awesome (Narrator: It was in fact not awesome.)
I’ve been planning for Social Security not to exist when I retire and looks like DOGE might make that happen. Glad I started planning for that more than 20 years ago.
Poverty rate is gonna jump and elderly are gonna be dying in the streets. But we all knew it was coming. Well, the smart ones did. The rich absolutely despise Social Security and covet that money. It was only a matter of time before they stole it all.
What is the worst advice a woman has ever give you?
Any advice from women on how to date women (unless she herself is a lesbian) is terrible. It’ll fail you completely. It’s the worst advice in the universe. If you like being friendzoned1 instantly, use dating advice from straight women.
Women aren’t deliberately lying here, most of the time. It’s just that most people aren’t very introspective, are attempting to make themselves look better and want to believe the highest ideals of themselves (especially) and others (to some extent).
But ain’t a bit of it true nor helpful.
