    • the big streamers however operate what is effectively a teenage improv soap opera for cash. new streamers are vetted by twitch, sponsors and their peers...kingsteven
    • when you see those big numbers its the 'decentralised jersey shore playing video games' part of twitchkingsteven
    • most of the smaller streamer 'content creators' i know of make far more money from youtube but treat streaming like their 9-5kingsteven
    • Amazon takes nearly half the cash from subs and bits (internal donation methods) so its difficult to get a start without a following elsewherekingsteven

    do you ever think you can identify people with the same name as you in the wild? or do stevens' just have a look?

    • No.
      But after someone says their name, you always think "ah right, he/she looks like a [typical name]"

    Went through old HDs today, because I was searching a specific set. I didn't find it, but I stumbled upon these old photographs. I took them on August 31st, 2001. I booked a flight in a helicopter to photograph the NYC skyline from above. It were the most expensive 8 minutes of my life and I remember thinking that even hookers offer their services at lower prices.

    This was still on film and I only have these images in very small sizes. But what still gives me chills is what happened only 11 days after I took these images.

    • wowBennn
    • Which route did you do? When I did it, we went up the Hudson from roughly where your first pic is taken, circled Yankie Stadium and back down.Wolfboy
    • It was an 8 minute flight for 200 USD. This was more than I could actually afford. 200 USD was the price for 1 hour with an escort girl back then (in Germany).SimonFFM
    • The route was up to Central Park (West side), turn, Statue of Liberty.SimonFFM
    • We all know you didn't use up the whole hour with the hooker tho. You got more bang for your buck with the pilot giving you the ride of your life.palimpsest

    Tokyo Disney parks abandon 'ladies and gentlemen' announcements

    Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea have stopped referring to visitors as “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” in their English announcements, opting instead to use gender-neutral terms, operator Oriental Land Co. said Friday.

    Since March 18, the two parks have been greeting guests via their in-park announcements with “hello, everyone” to be more inclusive.

    My wife had an interesting incident yesterday at the school she teaches at. Lunchtime arrives and the kids all head out to the playground. About 10 minutes in, a kid in her class, about 7 years old, runs in and tells her that a little girl in prep (that's a 5-6 year old) was causing a bit of commotion and hitting other kids with a stick.

    So my wife goes out to investigate...only to find the little girl running around the yard with a giant pink dildo that she'd brought in from home!

    One of the other teachers had to call the mother and get her to come and collect said implement. I can only imagine the scene when she picked it up from the front office!

    "Oh hi...I'm Mary's mother...here to pick up my dildo thanks".

    Well, all those day long interviews paid off. I’m joining the oculus team at facebook to work on some sort of reality, augmented or otherwise. It’s a research role, so for the first time I won’t be driven by product deadlines. I’m pretty stoked

    Today felt a bit like a punch in the gut or a break up.

    I was dating a girl since a few weeks and we decided to keep it casual and usually I love just casual/ FWB. But I started to get feelings for her and told her about it and she said she wasn’t interested in something more serious. She was really cool and arty (on top of really cute).

    It really hit me harder than I thought it would. Usually it happens the other way where girls start to get feelings during a FWB and want a relationship and I’m the one declining. Now it’s the other way around.

    Oh well, I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

    • So why didn’t you go for it if she wanted more as well?NBQ00
    • for her "more" meant children and marriage and i'm not into either. introduced her to another friend and they were wed in months and had a kid within a yearscarabin
    • i dunno if the "biological clock" thing in women is real or a social construct but hers was sure going offscarabin
    • Yes that’s the case with a lot of women in their (mid) 30’s and later.NBQ00
    • ^it all comes down to options - some have them, others get married early - men or women, same thing...grafician
    • Oh well, you could ask her to be your bitcoin bitch I suppose.shapesalad
    • Another problem with casual/FWB besides catching feelings is catching itchy scratch pimples around your genitals.shapesalad

    OMG... the thing I get asked to help an older relative with because I'm the "computer guy."

    If someone looked at porn sites on a work computer and has to turn that computer in, what do they need to do to ensure none of that history appears?

    They used Chrome. I'm assuming this is just clearing history and cookies unless they downloaded anything. Sound about right?

    Took a big chunk out of my hair the other day when 'trying to do a quick trim' with a shaver, ending up with a small horse's mane-worth of hair in my hand. Right before I was going to take my kid to the park. On the first really warm day of the year, so couldn't wear a hat to cover my shame.

    I've basically spent the last couple of days groping the back of my head, trying to work out how to compensate for my fuck up, with my hair getting ever shorter, which then spread to my beard as I tried to compensate for the visual distinction, which then led to me over-shearing my tache, so now I'm.. fuck, I just really need to go to a hairdresser so it can be fixed.

    Can't trust my partner to fix it for me - last time she trimmed my hair I ended up looking like a 12 year old girl, which as refreshing a perspective as that was to appreciate, was a bit embarrassing. Forty-something old men shouldn't have bobs. Or lanky hair tied up in man buns, for that matter, but if it's good enough for Thom Yorke, it's good enough for me.

    • From the front I look just about ok.
      From the back, I imagine I give the impression I'm on day release from a mental ward.

    Finished the trial today. The whole jury voted guilty on all the charges. I thought he'd go straight to prison, but he only has to go on the sex offender's register before being sentenced in a month or so.
    After the trial I mentioned his name to my sister and her partner remembered that his friend had had a run in with him too when he worked in youth work. By run-in I mean he sexually abused the guy.
    He didn't seem bothered by the verdict or hearing the men talk about how he'd poisoned their lives through traumatic experiences carried out by him while they were children.
    Glad it's over.
