"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

My check in luggage needs to be replaced before I leave. Any luggage brand loyalties here? I've been using a free dufflebag from Marlboro (long story) for like 15 years

Who wants to take up smoking so we can get Josh additional Marlboro luggage?

Lung cancer for Slobbermutt is a small price to pay.

Imagine if the payment processor problem gets fixed because they pissed off the wrong weebs.

Something has just occurred to me, since Visa are now openly policing who can or cannot use their payment processing services on moral principles, doesn't this open them up to complaints from activists who want to prohibit transactions of things they deem immoral, just like how CloudFlare ended up getting harassed by dictatorships to start removing protections from political dissent, watchdog and whistleblower websites?

After all, like Arch said, why should anybody be able to buy subscriptions to PornHub or Bad Dragon dildos or "romance" novels at Barnes and Noble if Japanese cartoon porn is a bridge too far? Why would it have to stop at sexual content at all? Why don't Democrats, SJWs and Antifa flood Visa with complaints about Donald Trump merchandise? What exactly are the limits on contraband for Visa at this point?

It's a buffet for piranhas.

Visa has blocked transactions for Japanese anime, manga and hentai, stating it's to protect their brand.

Hentai is one thing, but are they doing it for anything related to anime and manga, implying it's the same as literal porn?
lol, lmao even. They have no idea how many weebs love voting with their wallet, and they're about to find out how they love making a big stink out of anyone denying them their Japanese slop.
I'm guessing powers that be are declaring "Operation: Pozz Up Japan's Neghole" a failure and will instead demonize anyone who consumes media from there, rather than trying to ruin it the same way they ruined Western media.

PayPal has been doing this for a while, mostly to political activists they don't like. Basically, the mask is off and they will deny people freedom to spend or keep their money, for any reason they see fit. They're trying to normalize that with big "brands" like Visa by telling clueless morons that anime=porn(actual porn is fine btw, keep buying those BLACKED DVDs and Bad Dragon dildoes!)

Sarah Jeong, OF GAMERGATE FAME, is drunk and sloppily posting updates on BLUESKY from within the Korean Parliament. Sarah Jeong is famous for hating white people while getting dicked down by her revolving rogue's gallery of white boyfriends. The most signifigant bombshell? The army was OVERWHELMINGLY MALE echoing a serious INCEL ENERGY.

Briggs and Riley - Best overall
Travel Pro - budget option
Tumi - Branded option

B&R don't do much, if any advertising and their customers find them via word of mouth from those in the aviation industry and travel forums like FlyerTalk etc. They're expensive but their luggage is BIFL and doesn't have any gimmicks like Rimowa or Gucci. I have several pieces from them and they all have been around the world and taken a beating.

Travel Pro is a budget option, costs like $150 tops for a carry-on size, they're the default luggage for flight attendants.

Tumi is great too but I find it lacks the value of B&R. You're paying more for the brand but good luggage and its easily available at any luxury shopping mall or airport.

What's genuinely freaky about the Korean gender politics is that beyond the memes there's a genuine complaint the men have: That there's no accommodation for mandatory army time, so basically every dude is entering the work force years later than their female peers. When you combine this with a 5 ft 2 man with 0 other options you've basically got a giant kettle of poorly directed angst that's combat trained, expected to die to Ukraine their county one day

Literally every dude in the Korean army is like this. Every single one of them is Ryan Gosling staring at the Genshin Body Type: Short waifu in their gatcha game. And now it's martial law! Yippee.

Context: I follow a blog called "God, King, and Nation" via RSS. Neither the time nor the place for me to gush about his stuff; I don't agree with his takes all the time, but definitely worthwhile stuff to sink your teeth into on a slow workday. In this post from 17NOV24, I found what is perhaps the only mentioning of Pappy Nool in the wild I've ever come across.

NULL IS THE REASON WHY AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN BLOGGER FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE A POST ABOUT WHY GOD THE FATHER IS NOT THE GOD OF THE JEWS. WHAT THE SHIT??!?! Does anyone have a link to an archive of the episode where Null briefly mentions this story from the Talmud??? I need to know. I'm still reading this guy's blog post as it is, but holy fuck, I was cackling like a hyena when I read that sentence for a good... 10-15 minutes. What are the odds this nigga's a Farmer too instead of a lurker?

I found two whole gallon baggies of Marlboro Miles that my aunt stuffed away in the bottom of her closet like two summers ago. If only I had known, I could have upgraded Null from the duffle bag to the suitcases and maybe that freaking sick looking WATERPROOF CD player they had.

Away is overpriced but excellent. I fly constantly for work and I have one of their carry ons. I have used it exclusively for years. I liked it so much I bought my girl a larger check in version for her long trip overseas. She loved it as well. Highly recommend.
 
Honestly just go to TK Maxx and buy something you like the look of for €cheap. Branded shit is for poseurs or people who travel continuously and care about it.

This one?
Unknown_22: You know, there is literally a part of the Talmud where the rabbis are arguing with each other as they do.

2:52:38
Unknown_22: And, um,

Unknown_22: There's one guy, I think the story goes that there's one rabbi who is completely wrong. He's misinterpreted something. He's dead to fucking rights, but he won't stop arguing with it. And so...

Unknown_22: He makes a point that if he's wrong, God should appear in front of him and tell him that he's wrong or something. So God literally appears before him and tells him that he's wrong. And he goes, no, actually, you're wrong, God. And he, like, Jewsplains to him the Talmud, to God himself. And God is, like, so impressed by this and says, good job being extremely Jewish. I'm very impressed that you've stuck to your guns, even though you're wrong, and have litigated this to the bitter fucking end, even to God himself. I'm so impressed by you. And that's a story in the Talmud.

2:53:10
Unknown_22: I'm pretty sure that's how that worked. I'm pretty sure I'm very close to actually reciting that correctly. The story was that the Jews can out...

Unknown_22: out politicize oh the the rabbi says something to God like you know everything in the heavens but here on earth we have the Talmud and we have the Halakha Jewish law and he's like you're right that's a good point very good and he leaves and that's like the actual story is that you can out litigate out speechcraft God if you try hard enough and that's how the Jews live
