Oh hey, I'm in this screenshot making an off-color comment. We can debate misogyny and such, probably won't be very productive.

The thing I find interesting in this: "Italians Do It Better" is an inherently sexual statement. Everyone knows that IT is sex and maybe some other reference with this style of bumper sticker meme. That's what makes it funny. So then, is it wrong to make a sexual joke about someone who is wearing a funny sexual statement? I don't think so.

If she were wearing a plain tee or some other logo, I wouldn't make a sexual joke. This feels like white knight silliness to me.

Which "This is Christmas"? Seeing one about a train and one about a broken family.

Holy fuck, that article was dark.

Ahh, there it is. I'm a fool. I don't care what the stroke to tip ratio or whatever is on Bonero. I'm not interested in the technical wanking details. I merely wish to purchase goods and services.

I'm not investing in crypto. That's what precious metals, the stock market, and real estate are for.

Bitcoin costs me $3 a transaction or so, everybody takes it, it's easy.

"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich."

That's a good quote. Who is it from?

This isn't heavily controlled stuff. Antidepressants, heart medication, gi prescriptions, stuff insurance should cover but deductibles, yada yada. Sky Pharmacy.

Bitcoins should be used as god intended: buying prescription drugs from India. Most everything else is a circlejerk of stupid.

I don't know that it's arsenic. Green arsenic is that color due to the copper in molecule.

However, that object looks like it did something with industrial fluid. The pipe shell is also painted green. It's an area where illegal dumping occurs. I'd be cautious. I've found sealed 55 gal drums in deep woods before from illegal dumping. Getting rid of toxic shit can be expensive so some assholes illegally dump.

Until you know what it is, it pays to be cautious. That thing just makes my Spidey sense tingle.

Guessing.

Something to do with fluid mixing/filtration/reaction. Fair amount of quick and dirty, not a production item. Low pressure, just a few psi. Water treatment, meth, process prototype, pesticides, agricultural water.

There are green forms of arsenic. Wouldn't go licking it, wash hands after touching. Don't hang on to it.

I wouldn't expect a carb to be in that location.

It doesn't strike me as a bong.

Also, I bet the lining always had some sort of hole thru it.
