In general, most people who are able to do this can, because they are awake way too much. And when they are awake, they are doing something strenuous like manual work or just working long hours. I used to be able to do this back when I worked 14 hour shifts, and back when I was working 8 hours and then a side hustle for a minimum of 3 hours after work. It took a long time for me to lose that ability. And now that I'm going back to the side hustle, I've noticed my ability to sleep on command is coming back. Even with caffeine I can just say "sleep time!" and I'm out in 5 minutes.
People who can't sleep on command are usually already well rested, so they don't need the sleep as urgently.
Oh snap! You hit them right where it would hurt the most!
I still get old mail from the previous occupants where I live. Though an arrest warrant is a new one.
Reminds me of that one ridiculous character sheet someone posted of a half gold dragon with a million hp, an AC of 50 and stats in the 70s-100s.
But in this case even funnier, because he was at least trying to cover it up as a cantrip to get away with it.
The way she tries to sign with her hands, but it gets cross-wired with her feet for a second before she corrects herself.
Both can be true. There are some people who are just horny, and will be horny in appropriate settings if you legally allow them to. And then there are some people who get off on making their victims helpless. They do it because they can. And the fact that they can, other people can't, and nobody can stop them is the very thing that turns them on in the first place. If overpowering someone wasn't a factor, then why not just to whatever they want with their wives? They go after helpless and naive victims, because the hunt and taboo is the part they want more than actually having sex.
I think having someone's tongue down your throat counts as sexual assault.
Still terrible regardless. I'm hoping the industry has gotten better since she was there. Though sadly I doubt it has.
There's a reason they had to shoot Old Yeller. At least he got to die with his brain intact, looking into the eyes of someone who loved him.
Who the fuck says "who even cares about rabies?" It is the boogeyman of all diseases. Even as little kids we are all taught to be afraid of it. That's why kids aren't outside attempted to be Disney princesses. We all know not to touch animals because rabies. Are these people just from a completely different continent?
Even adults undergoing this don't understand. The part of the brain that allows for critical thinking goes very fast. And at a stage like this, that part of the brain is already gone. Even an adult in end stages wouldn't understand what's going on.
Marilyn Monroe too. Clint Eastwood and Johnny Depp also had very rough beginnings. Both of them were practically convinced to go into acting after pursuing other careers, as opposed to having family members that paved the way for them.
Even ones that you're supposed to be attached to via family or friendly connections. And that's part of what the show was portraying. Wallace got sacrificed. It didn't matter that his friends cared about him and didn't want to do it. It's part of the game. He was a pawn just as much as he was their friend. So he was sacrificed.
D got sacrificed. It didn't matter that his family were bigger pieces than him. It didn't matter that some of them may have had family attachments to him. It's part of the game. He was a pawn arguably more than he was their family. And that was proven when McNulty tried to investigate D's death as a murder instead of a suicide. But then it turned out that almost nobody in his family even cared. Almost nobody in D's own family cared that he was murdered. He was just another pawn in their game. Despite also being family.
Indeed. The days of some director discovering a diamond in the rough and creating a rags to riches story? Those days are over, and have been over for around 30 years.
That's the thing. There are tons of nepo-babies in Hollywood. But a lot of them are also great actors with lots of talent. And those people don't get called "nepo-babies." They get called "actors." Because they're good enough that people respect them to see them for their talent before seeing them for their connections. The only difference between an actor with family connections and a nepo-baby is that the actor proved they had what it took outside of the connections, even if the connections helped. The nepo-baby either doesn't have what it takes, and has to rely on the connections to be taken seriously at all, or has what it takes and has failed to prove it.
You show up in my feed all the time. Always a pleasant surprise. Also, happy cake day!
Iirc they added that feature specifically because stalkers, creeps and abusers were using it for this exact reason. Lesson learned the hard way by the company. But it's good they're doing it now.
The only problem is if they give one to someone who doesn't have a smart phone or device that can pick up on it.
“Friend” gave me an “emergency car kit” yesterday and this popped up.
