Wait dirty deeds? I don't recall all the lyrics to that, let me go look that up.

Tap for spoilerIf you're having trouble with the high school head He's giving you the blues You wanna graduate, but not in his bed Here's what you gotta do Pick up the phone, I'm always home Call me any time

Just ring, 3-6, 2-4, 3-6, hey I lead a life of crime

Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

You got problems in your life of love? You got a broken heart? He's double dealin' with your best friend That's when the teardrops start, fella Pick up the phone, I'm here alone Or make a social call

Come right in, forget about him We'll have ourselves a ball, hey

Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap (ahoo) Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap Hoo-yeah

If you got a lady, and you want her gone (ah, ah, ah, ah) But you ain't got the guts (ah, ah, ah, ah) She keeps naggin' at you night and day (ah, ah, ah, ah) Enough to drive you nuts (ah, ah, ah, ah) Pick up the phone, leave her alone (ah, ah, ah, ah) It's time you made a stand (ah, ah, ah, ah)

For a fee, I'm happy to be Your back-door man, hey

Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap (yeah) Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

Concrete shoes Cyanide, TNT (done dirt cheap) Neck ties, contracts High voltage (done dirt cheap)

Dirty deeds (do anything you want me to) Done dirt cheap Dirty deeds (dirty deeds, dirty deeds) Done dirt cheap

Yeah

Ok, so yes it does mention having a "nagging lady" and wanting her gone. In fairness, the two examples dropped first are a male school administrator who takes advantage of students for his own gratification, and a "double dealin' " man in a relationship who's cheating with his partners "best friend". So yes, the song has violence. I don't think a "nagging" partner would be equal to infidelity or sexual exploitation of minors, but the character in the song is not noted for his sense of righteousness. Certainly not something I think a "backdoor man" would be warranted for.

Kinda feels like the character is slipping deeper with each justification, using less and less to assuage his conscious of any guilt over taking money for what he's doing.

    This was a very illuminating post, and expanded my horizons on the human experience. If I may, can I ask what AFAB stands for in this context? I don't want to just try searching the internet because acronyms can be tricky to get right, even with context.

    Having worked stock in a grocery store, this is part of it. After asking alot of different people at different levels, the consensus is that shelf space is also paid for by many brands, and what space goes to who is decided way above the store level. So once in a while the stockers get paperwork that moves a ton of stuff around, and no one who works in that location has the authority to say no. Sure, sometimes a manager will do that anyway, but they always have a reason, and it's usually something about the reality of the store configuration, like not putting too many cold items near warm areas, to keep humidity down and reduce spoil.

    To turn around and leave. If they don't pay the servers enough that my bill is supposed to be their entire wages, I don't want to find out what kind of food is served. Cost- cutting doesn't happen in only one place when the boss starts penny pinching. Also, I don't want to support a business that isn't taking care of its workers if I can help it, and I'd rather go elsewhere.

    Also the sheer amount of that example bill worries me, cause I don't get paid enough to be spending $90 on a meal unless it's at least 4 people being fed. I can cook for alot cheaper at home, and still have it be celebrating.

    More like;

    American Public: "Release the Files!"

    US Government: "Here's 80%, but you can't make us do anything about the crimes we let you know about anyway, so who cares?"

    This is a tale about the total lack of repercussions for the crimes we already know about in the Epstein files that are public right now.

  • Coming of the Night (ttrpg.network)
     

    Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

    When footsteps crackle among long dead and dreary bones, and looming tyrants bellows echo over painful muffled moans,

    Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

    As children cry and call for parents lost embrace, and families weep in fear of loss, should they fall from grace,

    Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

    To stop the shadow of kings cloak, from stretching 'cross the land, and return true freedom to the peoples rightful hands,

    Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

    The call of rage against this dark injustice, summons forth collective might.

     

    I had 3 configs I was testing for No Man's Sky, and since the last couple updates the community configs are broken. If I launch the game those configs come up as totally empty of assigned controls. I can switch to a Hello Games config and it works fine. I can't seem to find any way to delete a configuration once it's been downloaded. I was hoping that deleting and re-download would fix the issue.

     

    After seeing some folks noticing a comment I made elsewhere in this instance, I thought a full post would be best. For those who don't know, the Steam Deck has a feature called Nested Desktop, which allows fast access to Desktop mode without needing to leave Game Mode or reboot into and out of modes.

    To use this, go into desktop mode, open the menu and use the search function to look for "Nested Desktop". Now right click and add that to Steam. When you boot into Game mode, you'll see a new item added called Nested Desktop, which you can open to access desktop mode while still in game mode.

    I found out about this almost a week ago and so far I use it most for referencing my digital game guides or searching NMS portal codes while still gaming. It's pretty seamless and really opens up some nice options, like modding a game and being able to boot it faster while having Game mode controls available.

    What is a Yocan Torch?

    Introduction If you are a fan of vaping, then you may have heard of the Yocan Torch. This device is a portable e-nail that allows you to vaporize your favorite concentrates on the go. It is a popular choice among vaping enthusiasts because of its convenience, portability, and ease of use. In this article, we will take a closer look at what the Yocan Torch is and how it works.

    What is a Yocan Torch? The Yocan Torch is a portable e-nail that is designed for use with concentrates such as wax, shatter, and oil. It is a small, handheld device that is powered by a rechargeable battery. The Torch is made up of two main components: the battery and the atomizer. The battery is the power source for the Yocan Torch. It is a rechargeable battery that can be charged using a USB cable. The battery has a capacity of 1100mAh, which is enough to provide several sessions of vaping before it needs to be recharged. The atomizer is the part of the Yocan Torch that heats up the concentrate and turns it into vapor. The atomizer is made up of a quartz dual coil (QDC) and a glass tube. The QDC is the heating element that heats up the concentrate, while the glass tube is where the vapor is produced.

    How does the Yocan Torch work? To use the Yocan Torch, you first need to charge the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, you can attach the atomizer to the battery. To do this, simply screw the atomizer onto the battery until it is firmly in place. Next, you need to load your concentrate into the atomizer. To do this, remove the glass tube from the atomizer and place a small amount of concentrate onto the QDC. Be careful not to overload the atomizer, as this can cause it to clog and reduce its effectiveness. Once you have loaded your concentrate, replace the glass tube and turn on the Yocan Torch by pressing the power button five times in quick succession. The power button is located on the front of the battery and is marked with a Yocan logo. The Yocan Torch will begin to heat up the concentrate, and you will see vapor start to form inside the glass tube. To inhale the vapor, simply place your mouth over the mouthpiece at the top of the glass tube and inhale.

    Conclusion The Yocan Torch is a convenient and portable e-nail that is perfect for vaping concentrates on the go. Its compact size and ease of use make it a popular choice among vaping enthusiasts. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient way to vaporize your favorite concentrates, then the Yocan Torch is definitely worth considering.

    It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.
