Kind of a shot in the dark but it could be related to HDR? I had a monitor for a while that would render non-HDR content (like my desktop) too dark to use. Idk how you are watching but if you have the option for HDR in your TV or Monitor settings try disabling it. Every hardware display is a special hell to intact with for which I apologize in advance that I’m pointing you towards that.

Unless you have a really really nice display you probably won’t care disabling it (a really really nice display I’ll define a one that is certified to VESA DisplayHDR HDR400 or higher. annoyingly these have nothing to do with “HDR10”, which basically means does more than no HDR. I’m hand waving a lot here, it’s not the point)

now if you are on a computer you might have luck by setting the correct color profile and you can find some online (they usually have .icc as the extension) but you could also go through all the trouble and have the same result and things like macbooks will already have this set up correctly for the built in panel.

i had too much coffee today and Supergirl is a fun watch, it’s not high art but i don’t reallywant it to be so

Move over Fragile X Syndrome, and make room for Fragile Guy Syndrome. Commonly referred to as The Bitching Disease, look out for the especially virulent subtype Angry White Syndrome which has been known to spread even to those without the Y chromosome and is believed to be caused by a lack of rhythm and a bland palatte.

Yeah they should be insured for this and if they aren’t that’s on them. That’s already such a vulnerable situation for you to find yourself in, to then get blamey sounds like they could use a bit more time in the tank themselves. Check your local laws around these types of establishments, often they are lumped in with spas, and see if they have legal requirements about insurance coverage. If they do, the insurance should cover it, and if they don’t, report them.

This is honestly no different than accidentally vomiting in a taxi. They will charge you a fee, like 150$ where i am, to cover the cost of cleaning. Both are biohazards and both require a proper cleaning and sanitization, but no taxi driver is going to try and get you to replace, that’s absurd, as is this. The 150$ amount is ostensibly their lost income from time and costs of cleaning.

Finally, they have presented an unrealized hypothetical as fact. They don’t want to clean it. They say they don’t think they can sanitize it but have they tried? They need to try and fail or point to official documentation from the manufacturer to back that up before they have a toenail to stand on. My money is on this: insurance will likely only cover the cost of sanitization, and not a replacement, again without something to back that up other than vibes or ick. I bet theres a cheap owner who doesnt want to make a claim on their policy and has hourly employees threatening to quit if assigned the task. Meanwhile they think they can get a brand new tank free out of this. That reimbursement for cleaning is going to be significantly less than 8000, and even if they reimbursed for loss, they’d depreciate it for age and wear, and it would still be high but less. But this amount is low enough (sub-10k) and the damage was accidental, not intentional, that any insurance company would have a hard time trying to hold you responsible for their costs of coverage.

I am not a lawyer but I’ve been in a situation where we had to claim the maximum our renters policy covered (100k!). Our insurance loved that we exhaustively documented everything and tried to go after the landlord for it as they were unambiguously responsible under the law, but insurance found multiple properties all with multiple leins and the owner had moved overseas, they gave up after a year. It costs them money, time, and effort to try so there needs to be a good chance of success on their part and theres both an upfront cost and diminishing returns over time.

I think your best bet is to research the laws and regulations around spas and just own them on the facts. Don’t be above having a friend call them and ask a lot of questions like "I’ve never done this and have some concerns, and at some point ask them point blank about their insurance coverage. “What if I pass out or slip on a wet floor and need medical care, what does your insurance policy cover?” Present it like you assume they must have one you just want some reassurance about it.

Best of luck and I’m so sorry this happened to you. Screw these losers.

Yeah I don’t want to use anyone’s compute resources on AI, full stop. I wish LibreWolf had mobile apps or IronFox had a desktop client just so that I can stop maintaining two sets of customizations to achieve consistency. I tend to ratchet up IronFox’s defaults a little and back down as many from LibreWolf as I bump up to get to where I want. LibreWolf never saving any cookies is an okay default if you are running like Tails on a luks mount but my threat profile doesnt justify that and im running debian. I want first party cookies to work more often than not. At least extrepo has it easily addable as an apt repo.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Waluigi!

I’m autistic and extremely faceblind and despite this being potentially useful to me personally, I really don’t think this should be legal at all.

I also want to say, don’t let anyone use people like me as a reason why it should be. I dont know what’s scarier to me, being identified accurately by it which, stalkers and abusers will love, or being misidentified by it and experiencing what to me will seems like arbitrary harassment and violence.

Great job Ray-Ban! Really good look! Thanks Meta! Connecting us to people whether we like it or not!

thank you, I seriously appreciate that, and sorry for assuming but theres enough people who do remove attribution I lumped this in. fwiw what I’ll do now is share the link to the original post going forward. im sharing somebody’s work for free I figure it should be attributed to them even if they offer it for free. I gotta reflect on my reaction too

(btw if anyone knows the source some asshat removed the attribution from this and im not about that)

jfc this is so sad because it would actually be hard for a human coder of very little ability to do it this wrong. at least it has its own instance i can block.

https://www.deviantart.com/gradendine/art/Sally-s-boob-fur-finished-269861073 yall were warned. after this you have to read all of https://deathandhell.com/ because only more insanity can push it out of your brain

Adblocker? Some lists will block dynamic dns providers (badblock for sure has afraid.org). If so you want to exempt that since you legitimately use it.

What? Why? We haven’t event gotten to that Sally Acorn (A Sonic Universe character that only exists in the Sonic comics and the Archie comics crossover) doll to scale that some person on deviant art made with a real human skeleton inside.

You may think you are having an aneurysm right now but that’s all true and verifiable. I can’t guarantee you aren’t having one after you see the doll though. Deeply deeply cursed.

The Smurfs. 65 minutes of using the word smurf in place of all swearing. Somewhere during the denouement a character should mouth but not say “Oh, fuck!” then two other smurfs are nearby. One says “what did they say?” The other smurf looks panicked and then offers without much conviction: I think it was, “Oh Smurf!” Big laughs. Scene.

MFer could hold a room like Oscar Wilde that’s why

Thank you these are fully awesome! I had no idea there had been a quiet layout enlightenment was underway.

You know the episode of Bobs Burgers where Tina takes a typing class and does the hunt and peck but she can do it faster than the teacher can using the home row? It me.

Also if you want to type fast a keyboard layout that wasn’t chosen based on its ability to prevent mechanical jams by slowing the typist is probably the way to go. eg Dvorac

Intended as a pun on Latavia’s recordings, and that this would arguably be Dick’s Pick, which sounds almost the same as Dick’s Pick’s. I also thought about a dick pic joke but I’ll always choose whatever is most obscure from my perspective
