Those of you who have a gift or a passion that doesn’t pay enough to be financially independent and have a job to pay the bills, what does it look like?
There's nothing wrong with working a job only to pay the bills and seeking fulfillment outside of work. I love my hobbies, but I wouldn't want to try and monetize them because they're for my enjoyment, and turning them into a job would sap all that enjoyment out.
I think society (at least in the USA) has failed the younger generations in that regard. I remember being in school in the 90s and 00s and being told repeatedly to go to college for something you enjoy and are passionate about (also you need a 4 year degree, but that's a different conversation). You definitely aren't a failure for working a career that falls outside of your passion(s). Ask yourself what your end goal is for pursuing music as a career. Is that goal unattainable by pursuing it outside of work?

MC Kun is inoffensive to me, so why y'all bitching
MC-kun is frequently a skinny kid with shaggy hair, boring and unrelatable. I know they're oftentimes supposed to be self inserts, but meh.

It was a Christian anime about the Bible, I think.
Why would you keep your "anime" someplace your mom could find it?

[Discussion] New ‘Ghost In The Shell’ Anime Is Gloriously Goofy And Very Faithful To The Manga
I definitely prefer the more serious tone of SAC, but I'll keep watching this new series and see how it goes.

Just pick something that looks interesting and go for it. The areas are level scaled now, so you don't have to worry about wandering into a high level zone.

If you could see one statistic above every person's head, that is updated in real time and never goes away, what would you choose?

I feel a better one would be amount of time since the last slur was used, or number used in the past 30 days or something.

My friend group has been making an effort to have a get-together at someone's house once a month and we have been taking turns hosting. It's been nice.

Mostly speculation on my part and remembering conversations from decades ago, but at least in the US among men, anything touching your butthole = gay. Using a bidet is something those effeminate Europeans use and not something for manly Americans. These same men think that actually cleaning your butthole in the shower is also gay. Fortunately this mainly seems to be a mindset that older generations hang onto, as I talk to younger folks (Millennial and younger), they seem to be much more open to bidet usage. I have one installed at home and I don't feel clean if I have to do my business somewhere without one.

I have too much scrap wood. I needed a scrap wood bin. So I made a scrap wood bin out of scrap wood to hold my scrap wood.
Solves two problems; gives you a spot to put scrap, and also gives a use for said scrap.

There are plenty of useful things, but I think I'll be a child and say the amount of time since they last farted. Though, that would be useful if you're about to walk into an elevator and you see someone's timer flip back to 0...

【Official Reveil】“Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO”
Ah yes, Xarx-Zero, pronounced "Alex-Zero", with the Zero Gundam. Not to be confused with:
-0 Gundam (pronounced oh)
-00 Gundam
-The O
-Wing Gundam Zero
-Gundam Alex
And this is part of the RG Project, not to be confused with RG (Real Grade) model kits! My guess is the designers were discussing over beers how confusing they could make the naming scheme and still have the execs sign off on it.

They make bidet attachments for existing toilets. It gets installed underneath the lid and the sprayer sits at the back of the bowl.

How did browsers make money before they sold user's data?
Reply in thread
Chrome was initially a lightweight and fast browser, since Firefox and IE were bloated to hell. From what I understand, their aim was to make browsing faster so people could run more searches and they could make money that way. The same went for their ISP project. Higher bandwidth meant more searches/browsing and more ads being served.

Depends on the model. Some only hook into the cold water line, where others can hook into both. A cold jet of water on your butt is a hell of a way to wake up in the morning.

What anime is basically this for you?
Everything is polarizing nowadays and people like to talk in hyperbole. If something isn't the best, it's the worst. Mid = bad.

Neverness to Everness has patched out a character’s shorts in favor of panties following complaints

Because at the same time, if they make a character's clothing too revealing, they'll have their wrists slapped by the government censors. I used to play Genshin Impact, and Hoyo got slapped during that time:

Does importation of goods void sales tax?
Depends on where you live. Also, if you're importing from another country, you may have to pay import duties and tariffs, not to mention shipping. This may end up costing more than the domestic price for said item.

Probably GBA or PS2. I was a teenager and started working part time jobs, so I had money to buy the games I wanted. I was also getting a bit older, so my parents were relaxing my restrictions a bit. I couldn't play RPGs as a kid since apparently anything having to do with demons or magic would turn me into a cultist.
Special mention for the N64 as well. I have countless memories of playing 4-player games with friends, primarily Goldeneye (though Perfect Dark was better and I will die on that hill).
