Avast, Vector Prime!

Be there pirates, corsairs, buccaneers or other likewise scurvy dogs of sea or space in the history of Cybertron?

Dear Citrus Corsair,

Fortunately for his fellow Space Pirate Seacons, Sea Phantom is a big fan of laser-lemons. Because of this, despite being both a pirate and a seadog, he has never been known to develop cyber-scurvy.

Bright Turquoise Laser Lemon (#0ef0e5 to #faff6b)

[kaytaygayquirks]

Im here again for another addition to a quirk idea! its hard to describe, but image a purple wavy beam you can shoot from your hands or wherever, but what i want to add to this quirk, is something similar to the quirk, that can be mixed with it to make an awsome attack move. like maybe a yellow light? basically, i want an additional quirk for this to make it less boring. x

I’ll try!

Ok so what I got from your ask and I hope I’m right is that you basically want two sister quirks that’s can work together to make one ultimate move. Kinda like how Hagakure and ayoyama made theirs by using both their quirks together!

Here’s the first quirk!

Lilac Wavy Laser: this quirk gives its user the ability to shoot purple lasers out of the palms of their hands. These lasers are two inches thick and can reach up to thirty feet away. The lasers are able to break through anything that gets in their path and once they’ve reached the thirty foot mark they sizzle out of existence after that the user can make another laser. The user can bend the lasers path to reach obstacles towards the side. The user can remove the laser before it gets to thirty feet by closing their palms. The user can shoot a laser out of both their palms or out of only one however the user cannot use that hand whilst the laser is out otherwise the laser would disappear. The downsides of this quirk are, the user cannot use their hand when a laser is out, when the quirk is overused the skin on the users palm becomes thinner which causes the users palms to be injured easier along with the user gaining a headache and exhaustion.

Lemon Lazy Waver: this quirk gives its user the ability to shoot yellow lasers out of the palms of their hands. These lasers are an inch thick and can reach up to twenty five feet. The lasers will explode on contact with anything. If the lasers do not come into contact with anything before they reach twenty five feet they will simply explode at the twenty five foot mark. The user can bend the path of the lasers to reach obstacles towards the side but it will shorten how far the laser will go. The downsides of this quirk are, the user cannot create more than two lasers at a time, the user cannot use their hands whilst controlling a laser otherwise the laser would disappear, while the users palms are resistant to their own quirk their body is not which means they must be careful not to hit themself with their own laser, when the quirk is overused the users palms become weaker and more susceptible to injuries, the user also gains a headache and exhaustion.

Ultimate move time!

Lemon Lilac laser: in order to use this ultimate move the users have to put their hands next to each other and send their lasers towards the same target at the same time. When the lasers hit the target they meld together and the target gets pierced by the laser before being exploded on the inside. The downsides of this ultimate move are, h the users can only use this move two or three times before becoming too tired to do it again.

Both of these quirks and the ultimate move took a while to make since schools starting up again and I’ve gotten really busy but I’ve finally been able to finish these and can now start working on your other asks!

Anyways I hope you enjoyed these quirks and their ultimate move!

Why Leicester Is a Top Destination for Dermal Filler Treatments

In recent years, Leicester has emerged as a vibrant hub for aesthetic treatments, particularly dermal fillers. This city, rich in cultural diversity and modern amenities, offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking cosmetic enhancements. With an increasing number of clinics and practitioners specializing in dermal fillers, Leicester has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and affordability in the aesthetic industry. This article delves into the reasons why Leicester stands out as a premier destination for dermal filler treatments, exploring the quality of services, skilled practitioners, and the welcoming atmosphere that the city provides.

The Rise of Aesthetic Treatments in Leicester

Aesthetic treatments, especially dermal fillers, have witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity. The increasing desire for youthful appearances and the influence of social media have led many to explore non-surgical options for enhancing their features. Leicester, with its blend of historical charm and modern sophistication, has adapted to this growing trend. Clinics throughout the city have tailored their services to meet the diverse needs of clients, ensuring that everyone can find a treatment that suits them.

One of the primary reasons for Leicester's appeal is the accessibility of clinics offering dermal filler treatments. From luxurious establishments to more budget-friendly options, the city caters to a wide audience. This variety ensures that individuals can choose a clinic based on their preferences and financial considerations, creating an inclusive environment for all. Furthermore, many clinics prioritize client education, providing comprehensive consultations that help potential clients understand the procedures, effects, and aftercare associated with dermal fillers.

Skilled Practitioners and Advanced Techniques

When it comes to dermal fillers, the expertise of the practitioner is paramount. Leicester is home to a plethora of highly skilled professionals who are trained in the latest techniques and advancements in aesthetic medicine. Many practitioners have backgrounds in medicine or nursing, which adds an extra layer of safety and professionalism to the treatment process. Their qualifications and experience are crucial in ensuring that clients receive safe and effective treatments, tailored to their unique facial structures and aesthetic goals.

Moreover, the commitment to ongoing education is a hallmark of the aesthetic community in Leicester. Practitioners frequently attend workshops and seminars to stay updated on the latest trends and innovations in dermal fillers. This dedication to professional development not only enhances their skills but also ensures that clients benefit from cutting-edge techniques and products. As a result, patients can expect natural-looking outcomes that enhance their beauty without compromising their individuality.

A Focus on Safety and Client Comfort

Safety is a significant concern for anyone considering dermal fillers, and Leicester clinics prioritize this aspect diligently. The city’s practitioners adhere to stringent safety protocols, ensuring that all treatments are conducted in sterile environments using high-quality products. This focus on safety is complemented by thorough consultations, where practitioners assess the client’s medical history, aesthetic goals, and any potential contraindications before proceeding with treatment.

Additionally, patient comfort is a top priority. Clinics in Leicester are designed to provide a welcoming and soothing atmosphere, allowing clients to feel at ease during their visit. From the moment clients step into a clinic, they are met with professionalism and warmth, which helps alleviate any anxiety they may have about the procedure. The combination of skilled practitioners and a comfortable environment creates a positive experience that encourages clients to return for future treatments.

Affordable Options without Compromising Quality

Another compelling reason why Leicester is a top destination for dermal filler treatments is the affordability of services. Compared to larger metropolitan areas, Leicester offers competitive pricing for aesthetic procedures, making it an attractive option for many individuals. The presence of various clinics competing for clientele has led to a healthy market where quality services are available at reasonable prices. This affordability does not come at the expense of quality, as many clinics uphold high standards in both their products and customer service.

The availability of package deals and seasonal promotions also contributes to the affordability of dermal fillers in Leicester. Clients can often find special offers that allow them to try multiple treatments or combine services for a reduced price. This approach not only encourages clients to explore their aesthetic options but also fosters loyalty as they return to their favorite clinics for ongoing treatments.

Amazon's bestselling "bitter lemon" energy drink was bottled delivery driver piss

Today (Oct 20), I'm in Charleston, WV at Charleston's Taylor Books from 12h-14h.

For a brief time this year, the bestselling "bitter lemon drink" on Amazon was "Release Energy," which consisted of the harvested urine of Amazon delivery drivers, rebottled for sale by Catfish UK prankster Oobah Butler in a stunt for a new Channel 4 doc, "The Great Amazon Heist":

https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-great-amazon-heist

Collecting driver piss is surprisingly easy. Amazon, you see, puts its drivers on a quota that makes it impossible for them to drive safely, park conscientiously, or, indeed, fulfill their basic human biological needs. Amazon has long waged war on its employees' kidneys, marking down warehouse workers for "time off task" when they visit the toilets.

As tales of drivers pissing – and shitting! – in their vans multiplied, Amazon took decisive action. The company enacted a strict zero tolerance policy for drivers returning to the depot with bottles of piss in their vans.

That's where Butler comes in: the roads leading to Amazon delivery depots are lined with bottles of piss thrown out of delivery vans by drivers who don't want to lose their jobs, which made harvesting the raw material for "Release Energy" a straightforward matter.

Butler was worried that he wouldn't be able to list his product on Amazon because he didn't have the requisite "food and drinks licensing" certificates, so he listed his drink in Amazon's refillable pump dispenser category. But Amazon's systems detected the mismatch and automatically shifted the product into the drinks section.

Butler enlisted some confederates to place orders for his drink, and it quickly rocketed to the top of Amazon's listings for the category, which led to Amazon's recommendation engine pushing the item on people who weren't in on the gag. When these orders came in, Butler pulled the plug, but not before an Amazon rep telephoned him to pitch him turning packaging, shipping and fulfillment over to Amazon:

https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-let-its-drivers-urine-be-sold-as-an-energy-drink/

The Release Energy prank was just one stunt Butler pulled for his doc; he also went undercover at an Amazon warehouse, during a period when Amazon hired an extra 1,000 workers for its warehouses in Coventry, UK, in a successful bid to dilute pro-union sentiment in his workforce in advance of a key union vote:

https://jacobin.com/2023/10/the-great-amazon-heist-oobah-butler-review

Butler's stint as an Amazon warehouse worker only lasted a couple of days, ending when Amazon recognized him and fired him.

The contrast between Amazon's ability to detect an undercover reporter and its inability to spot bottles of piss being marketed as bitter lemon energy drink says it all, really. Corporations like Amazon hire vast armies of "threat intelligence" creeps who LARP at being CIA superspies, subjecting employees and activists to intense and often illegal surveillance.

But while Amazon's defensive might is laser-focused on the threat of labor organizers and documentarians, the company can't figure out that one of its bestselling products is bottles of its tormented drivers' own urine.

In the USA, the FTC is suing Amazon for its monopolistic tactics, arguing that the company has found ways to raise prices and reduce quality by trapping manufacturers and sellers with its logistics operation, taking $0.45-$0.51 out of every dollar they earn and forcing them to raise prices at all retailers:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/#commissar-bezos

The Release Energy stunt shows where Amazon's priorities are. Not only did Release Energy get listed on Amazon without any quality checks, the company actually nudged it into a category where it was more likely to be consumed by a person. The only notice the company took of Release Energy was in its logistics and manufacturing department – the part of the business that extracts the monopoly rents at issue in the FTC case – which tracked Butler down in order to sell him these services.

The drivers whose piss Butler collected don't work directly for Amazon, they work for a Delivery Service Partner. These DSPs are victims of a pyramid scheme that Amazon set up. DSP operators lease vans and pay to have them skinned in Amazon livery and studded with Amazon sensors. They take out long-term leases on depots, and hire drivers who dress in Amazon uniforms. Their drivers are minutely monitored by Amazon, down to the movements of their eyeballs.

But none of this is "Amazon" – it's all run by an "entrepreneur," whom Amazon can cut loose without notice, leaving them with unfairly terminated employees, outstanding workers' comp claims, a fleet of Amazon-skinned vehicles and unbreakable facilities leases:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/17/revenge-of-the-chickenized-reverse-centaurs/

Speaking to Wired, Amazon denied that it forces its drivers to piss in bottles, but Butler clearly catches a DSP dispatcher telling drivers "If you pee in a bottle and leave it [in the vehicle], you will get a point for that" – that is, the part you get punished for isn't the peeing, it's the leaving.

Amazon's defense against the FTC is that it spares no effort to keep its marketplace safe. As Amazon spokesperson James Drummond says, they use "industry-leading tools to prevent genuinely unsafe products being listed." But the only industry-leading tools in evidence are tools to bust unions and screw suppliers.

In her landmark Yale Law Review paper, "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox," FTC Chair Lina Khan makes a brilliant argument that Amazon's alleged benefits to "consumers" are temporary at best, illusory at worst:

https://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/amazons-antitrust-paradox

In Butler's documentary, Khan's hypothesis is thoroughly validated: here's a company extracting hundreds of billions from merchants who raise prices to compensate, and those monopoly rents are "invested" in union-busting and countermeasures against investigative journalists, while the tools to keep you from accidentally getting a bottle of piss in the mail are laughably primitive.

Truly, Amazon is the apex predator of the platform era:

My next novel is The Lost Cause, a hopeful novel of the climate emergency. Amazon won't sell the audiobook, so I made my own and I'm pre-selling it on Kickstarter!

Actually if I paired Lysia with Charlotte the "unintentional flirting" from Lysia just has a lot of comedy potential between Charlotte knowing Cain and that Cain is a close friend of Lysia's, or the potential of her sisters overhearing Lysia's unintended flirts or something. Just funny potential there.
