Is there a word for when something looks like a vulva?

Y'know, like phallic, but... That.

Okay, sure. Maybe it's not from driving specifically, but it is just from sun exposure. Which I hear Aussies get a fair bit of, yeah?

Y'all it's sun exposure from driving. You're just old enough to see the damage.

Ew. Pass.

I'll stick with my local small business retro shop that doesn't stink of wage slavery, misogyny, and poor corporate decisions, thanks.

That's fine the Olympics are terrible for people, the economy, and the environment anyway.

I also stan aftershokz. For gym use I use ear plugs to block out machine sounds and I can still hear my book/music/video just fine. The battery life is great - I charge them nightly to be certain they won't die, but haven't had any problems running them two days at a time for 8+ hours on the occasion that I forget.

I LOVE my e-bike. I just got a tern NBD and I can finally ride on my own with a bike that fits me even when my disability flares up and I am at my most limited.

Now that my bike time has increased dramatically I have noticed aggression towards me has also increased. I've had people yell slurs out of their car windows, people rev threateningly behind me when they couldn't pass, people speed around me through intersections, etc. Mostly I've noticed it from class traitors.

In my area especially people tie cars to freedom. Public transit is practically non-existent so kids and teenagers never ride a bus or a train and assume cars are the only way to get around. This seems to be especially strong among the lower and lower-middle classes, where people struggle to get and keep their cars, and seem to have an unhealthy emotional attachment to them.

If only there were a way to allow bikes on roads without directly impeding car traffic...

UGH, come on squeenix! Do you want boycotts and strikes? Because replacing artists and programmers with AI is how you get boycotts and strikes.

I am honestly surprised Starfield has done as well as it has. Fallout 4 will probably be the last Bethesda game I ever pay for unless they overhaul their entire business model. It's very clear from all of what happened to 76 and interviews from Todd that the creativity at Bethesda is dead. It's not gamers making games. It's executives wanting to print money. At this point I hesitate to pay for any AAA game.

No one deserves to be held in such high regard that they get a free pass for bad behavior.
