It was never an anonymous form of payment. And you didn’t hear it from me, but a certain agency has nearly the whole thing mapped to real people (when possible). There’s a whole division dedicated to it.
This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting....

Try out a live USB, it won’t save anything you do to it and you won’t risk deleting your data by accident (like with dual boot). All you need is an old USB stick / flash drive (just make sure it’s big enough, a few Gigabytes should be good)
Here’s a walkthrough for Linux Mint (an Ubuntu alternative). I’d recommend specifically Mint Cinnamon (Download Link):
Prime is just too good if you happen to use Amazon’s other products. Free overnight delivery on Whole Foods items, that’s literally 4-6 hour delivery sometimes. Access to Prime Videos which (very) occasionally has a show I want to watch. And a free Twitch subscription which I use to toss creators I like a few extra bucks every month.
In my experience it’s women who squirt that are more likely not to know what an orgasm is supposed to feel like. They’ll definitely feel good, like edging, then get to a point where it feels like they’ve overstimulated themselves to the point of peeing the bed and stop. Not realizing there’s a “getting over the hill” moment to an orgasm.
I’m guessing it was someone doing translations, getting confused, playing it safe, and accidentally recreating Old English.
This is either Chinese or Japanese on the sign. But Japanese derrived from Chinese so both langues have the same origin for a lot of words:
Male 男 is a compound word of Field and Strength.
Woman 女 is a pictogram of a woman with breasts kneeling. A bit easier to see in the non-modern symbol. And pretty blatant when you compare it to the modern symbol for mother 母 which is taking the old symbol and adding two nipples.
So nothing in the original language for this translation error to make sense.
But English has roots for “feman” to technically make sense. In Old English there used to be “man” meaning “person” and “wif” meaning “female”. This turned in to “wifman” meaning woman. Recently “wif” turned into “wife” and “wifman” turned in to “woman”.
In their language there are two distinct words for “woman” and “man” so when they got “male” for 男 they went “ok cool now on to 女”, and got “female”. Now that’s basically the same word… So they backed up and retranslated 男 to “man”… Then got “woman” for 女.
Now pretty unsure they looked up “man” and got that it could just mean “person”. Then they put “male” “man” for male person. Then they got really confused and instead of “female” “man” for “female person” they cut out the “male” and put “fe” “man” essentially re-inventing the word “wifman”.
And finally somewhere along the way they found out about prefixes which fe- kinda acts like so that’s why there’s a space in “male man” and no space in “feman”
Well you have me- from proto-european which means to measure.
Then you have metrical (metricus/metrikos from Latin/Greek) that means to measure rhythm in poetry.
Mētrum/Metron again from Latin/Greek meaning “measure, length, size, limit, proportion”
Then “metre” which is originally a unit of length. Then you have a “metre stick” which is a stick used to measure a metre. You can blame the French for basically calling it a “measurement stick” but it refers to a very specific measurement.
Then you have the -or suffix in Latin which means “to have to do with” or “to pertain to”. Then that turns in to -re and -er in Old English.
And like everything else - Brittan used both for centuries before deciding one was “right” and everyone else is at fault for the other way (just like how “Soccer” is a British term). Famously Shakespeare used both -re and -er.
Lastly, the US uses the metric system for its professions. It’s layman’s terms that don’t use metric.
It’s just going to hurt like a removed. The string needs to go completely straight for the full force of the arrow which is impossible with how far it’s already in his mouth.
