I remember newsgroups on usenet. People would post nudes and the nicest posters offered you a page of indexed thumbnails because otherwise it was a time consuming, shot in the dark, as you watched, in real time, a picture being generated, scrolling line by scrolling line. The funniest was where you were trolled, as you watched an ostensibly hot girl being revealed line by line, only to discover, a minute or two later, that she wasn't all-girl, lol.

This guy's comics come with a separate, related comment that he places under the panels. For what it's worth, the one under this one read, "#WatchPeopleDieInside".

Time traveller detected. Photo was actually taken October 19, 2019. It's Barcelona cops outside their HQ reacting to riots in support of Catalan separation.

Autocorrect, being what it is, has given us a window in what the OP searches for on Pornhub... hopefully.

Pretty sure someone's birthday is around the corner.
生日快示 translates as "Birthday Reminder", at least in Google Translate.

This is probably a Highlander(formerly a Highland Lynx). The Highlander has physical traits that resemble that of a wildcat. It was created in 2004 when two hybrid breeds, the Desert Lynx and the Jungle Curl, were crossed. Because it was produced from two hybrids, though, this breed does not actually have any wildcat genes, so it is a docile and playful companion. Curled ears, bobtails and polydactyl toes are this 10-20 lb, Maine Coon sized cat's chief physical features.

Evidently it's not easy to find and the guys driving, as usual, don't want to ask directions.

Color blindness is usually an inherited condition that makes it difficult to differentiate among shades of colors. Color blindness happens when the cones of the eye are missing specific light sensitive pigments.
Even if you have complete achromatopsia, totally monochromatic vision, it will make everything look like different hues of gray, but only the very darkest shades might appear blackish. Medium shades of red, blue and green will appear gray, not black. See the following for more details and examples. Dr. Astley, an expert in ophthalmology, has a fascinating presentation.

Why does it look so elegant? 3 comments

1880s-photos require long exposures of absolutely still subjects to register an image.
2020-sophisticated CCDs take but a split second to grab an image.
Me, frustratedly waving this posting in front of my cat's face, "Why can't you be more like this good boy!?!?"

Yup. As of Dec. 21, gas in the Philippines is about US $0.91/L vs about $3.47/Gallon. Old picture, local variances or slightly jacked up prices to pay for redecorating efforts might explain the 9¢ discrepancy.

Best I could find around here, is its equally flavourful, but much tougher neighbour, the skirt steak. A quick sear and a thin cut against the grain save the day.

The next stage will finally make use of all those foodie's Instagram photos. The waiter, "I recommend a picture of Gordon Ramsay's world famous signature dish, his Beef Wellington. We have several links available, at various price points."

I read the full exchange. Grandma didn't just meet any old random at that funeral. It turns out that future Granddad's own father was the guest of honour at that funeral.

These charcoal skulls were created by Japanese artist Sekisadamu. When Sekisadamu came up with the idea for his creepy charcoal skulls, he never really though about commercial potential. He merely wanted something cool to show off at the recently concluded Wonder Festival, in Chiba, Japan. But after posting photos of his creations on Twitter and inviting people to the festival to check them out in person, he got an overwhelming response – over 13,000 likes and almost 9,300 retweets at the time of this writing(Feb. 2019)– and started contemplating the idea of making charcoal skulls for the masses. The Japanese artist has already announced that he has set up a domain name for them and begun procedures to register a trademark on them.

Asked to modernize Teddy Roosevelt after my last post...This was a labor of love 6 comments
carbontech · 3 years ago
Teddy Roosevelt is considered one of America's greatest presidents. He served as a New York assemblyman, the New York City police commissioner, lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War, assistant secretary of the Navy, the governor of New York, and then President William McKinley's vice president. After McKinley was assassinated in 1901, he became the country's youngest president at age 43.
In these times of bullshit cult's of personality, his famous quote is more relevant than ever:
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

Me, nodding my head.
