Merch sales, sponsorship deals, stuff like that. The donations might go right to the talent, but the fans spend money in other ways. Also, with the talents getting all that money nobody can say anything negative if VShojo gets all the money from corporate sponsorships.

If the CEO was allowed to do what he wants, it would be $8 and nobody would by the fucking thing anymore.

Yeah, that's about how I'm feeling today ngl.

As a male victim of sexual abuse, seeing sentiments like this makes me beyond angry.

Fuck that assclown, right in their goddamn ear.

I see it all the time at work, they were using 128GB SSDs for multiple years and the machines fill up with user profiles on shared machines. I just run DelProf against the machine remotely and to the user it starts working again like magic.

Every time you have to go to the store for groceries, you are awash in temptation. It's like asking a recovering heroin addict to walk past shelves stacked with heroin on a weekly basis.

As funny as that character was, they used it to make a very poignant point.

I'll give you that, if you're running a genocidal empire then Nemesis without question is superior.

Cosmo is easier to pull off though because it allows you to maintain positive diplomatic relations while you're 'ramping up' whereas Nemesis tends to ruin your relations and result in wars.

That's cool, I don't need it anymore. That's my view on all of my physical possessions "do as you see fit with it when I'm gone, I don't need it anymore."

My trick with an ethnic restaurant is to ask them to make it for me like they'd make it for themselves. I've never been let down, even though I've been asked a few times "are you sure?" or "okay, but no refund".

If you get sugar-free drink mixes, you can make ultra-low calorie homemade popsicles. A good trick to deal with ones sweet tooth.

The one that gives you nothing.

That's not quite true, it hampers your enemy for 10 years after all.

My question is this: Why would they care?

Better than what I'd get on my laptop, that much is certain. Keep in mind, I don't play shooters or anything that would be sensitive to input latency via this method because I respect the limitations of streaming the video over the internet.

I'm not condoning, merely explaining why so many have such difficulty with weight loss.

I'm not condoning it, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying that a lot of people use the dopamine from eating calorie dense foods to get an 'uplift' and it results in a very unhealthy relationship with food in general.

Eat 500-1000 cals a day

That's a starvation diet. Any dietician or doctor would tell you that is a terrible idea. 1200 is, generally, considered the bare minimum to avoid the body entering starvation mode but you should target a healthy caloric intake that is sustainable in the long term. For men, this is around 2000 and for women around 2500.

Which is very hard when food is one of the only good things someone has in their life. A lot of people use food to self-medicate where the rest of their lives aren't giving them what they need.

That man is in the US House of Representatives.

Take that in.

If you know someone already working for a particular agency or MSP, that's a great way to get your foot in the door.

That is one way to do it, certainly. Another would be to go to their websites where many will have an applicant portal.

Reach out to the managed services providers and the recruiting agencies. Stop trying to apply directly with companies, you're highly unlikely to get a position as most have outsourced the lower levels of IT to outside companies.
