My mother, like 150 years ago, had a student who was so fat that her knees couldn't support her weight and bent inward. This is a young child, so the kid's knees were still developing too.

This, then, is my question: are these fat girls trying to be cute or is this a deformed skeleton thing?

It's a common pose in Japanese lolita fashion. It looks cute when a very attractive and childlike Asian girl does it. It looks terrible when anyone else does it.

Oh how I hate vanity sizing. As nice as it was to keep going back for smaller sizes to try on last week, I'm realistic. I've gained 20 pounds in fifteen years, I know I'm not a size 2 anymore! And the places that size by the inch are no better. I bought a dress online that I love in a 6 (because I'm a little heavier than I want to be) and it floats on me like a circus tent. I looked up that company's size chart and someone with my measurements, by their own charts, should be a 6. Yet this beautiful size 6 dress from them that I can't wear should fit me.

Sorry, I know this belongs in the "pet peeves" thread, but there is a point where we need to stop babying people. This is the kind of thinking that gets people who are barely ambulatory to huff, "well Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 [not true] and SHE wasn't fat, so neither am I!"

Ah, glad you mentioned Marilyn, because one of my fatter friends pinned this on Pinterest and it hit my pet peeve nerve: people using Marilyn Monroe as an example of fatshion.

I get it, love the size you're in, that's cool, but don't pretend you're the size of Marilyn Monroe if you're a modern size 14. Hell, I used to have a 23-inch waist (and when I did, I was indeed a size 0), but I sure as poo poo didn't have a 37 inch rack to go with it!

Since when does Saturn appear blue on Earth. I mean, I know the photo is doctored because there's no way the planets were that bright, but even then I doubt the veracity of that picture. The planets seem to be way too close together too, I don't see how you could see Saturn that close to Mercury and Venus without also seeing Mars and Jupiter.

: Also pre-Copernican astronomy did know how to predict the movement of the planets, it just involved an ungodly byzantine system to do it. Plenty of ancient civilizations had astronomy figured out, they just had no clue what it really meant.

The danger of cheap katana is that the tang (metal extension that goes into the handle) is often shortened to cut the cost, which means if you swing it hard enough the blade can snap off and hit someone. Those are made as "wallhangers" and should not be toyed with.

Japanese swords used for practical purposes are usually not called katana (iaito, mogito, katayo). The price ranges from $300 to $2000 and beyond. While cheap and (possibly) safe swords are available if you know where to look, please consider getting a blunted edge. Buying a sharp sword without knowing how to use or take care of it is like buying a gun without proper training - what the gently caress do you expect is gonna happen?

Speaking from some personal experience: Most sane and good plastic surgeons will only go to a maximum cup size based on your initial cup size. Essentially you reach a threshold where the amount of skin you start with limits how big of a tit you can have without it looking visibly distorted and stretched. You can generally go bigger with the more expensive fat transplant based options because they fill out a wider area while artificial implants are basically a bag that sits under your skin the fat based ones can "fill in the cracks" so to speak. If you exceed the cup size you can have based on your amount of skin it's going to look all stretched and if you do it with traditional implants it's going to be worse because you'll have a centralized heavy object pulling your skin down (which is what that girl is having happen in those pictures). Fortunately its fixable, although I doubt she'll get them fixed unless it's hurting her bottom line, You can fill in with either smaller implants or fat and make something like that look much better. She'd also do better if she gained some weight since she really has no bodyfat in her upper torso to even begin to try and balance those huge fake knockers. Although to be fair they probably look loving amazing in a pushup bra, pretty much all crazy porn tits do (example: Lisa Ann wearing clothes vs Lisa Ann not wearing them).

Well this is actually sort of a hard one. If by legit Katana you mean a sword made in the traditional style that has been passed down from sword smith to sword smith since the 1500's in Japan then no, you cannot buy one for less than a couple grand, they take months to make and in many cases you couldn't buy one if you were white unless you had a very very good reason (like say a PHD in Japanese History, or were a world class Kendo practitioner). Getting one made is about the same as getting a bespoke suit. You meet up with the smith, or more likely one of his students since his time is extremely valuable and they review your application and qualifications, take some measurements (since sword length can be adjusted based on sword school or height/arm length) and give you a quote. Then you wait six months for it to be made, and then usually pay to have one of the students deliver it to you by hand in the states. Sword laws in Japan are very strict, so even if you bought one you wouldn't be able to posses it within Japanese borders (and if they caught you with it it goes straight into a furnace, true facts).

HOWEVER. That's not to say all Katana fall into this category. There were thousands of Katana made using die cut steel (how those 30 dollar swords are made) pretty much since the technology was available. Most grades of knife steel (ie what you cut a sword from) are stronger than a traditionally made Japanese sword although in some cases not as sharp (due to the very specific way traditional Japanese sword smiths make blades using pattern welds). The Katana for most of its life was never meant to be a weapon used outside of honor dueling. Most samurai fought like normal people, with Bows and Spears because those are smart people weapons. The Katana was a mark of social and military rank, it's use as an actual killing weapon was basically meaningless by the turn of the century so pretty much every officer who was outfitted with a sword was given one that was mass produced using the same kind of machines that make car parts. It has about the same purpose as those pretty sabers we give marines, sure it could kill someone, but its not really meant to.

So no a mass produced Katana is not a traditional Japanese sword, but neither were most of the Katana ever made, but in many ways it's probably the equal of any traditionally made blade and could in many cases destroy a "real" katana if it were to fight one. But real Katana aren't meant to be weaponry, they are pieces of art that express art through the beauty of what the owner does with them or they are pieces of art that symbolize a families prestige (see also: Military style sabers in America from 1700-1915).

It's more like how both of these are revolvers made by Colt and both of them will kill you if you're shot in the chest with one, but the first one is a 600 dollar gun and the second is a several thousand dollar one even though the Colt Detective is a much better weapon than the Colt Navy. It's about the provenance that goes into making it since when you boil it down they are all just tools for killing, and outside of some small differences they will both do that task. It's like how a dinky .22 is a perfectly fine gun for shooting cans, if all you want is a sharp sword shaped thing to poke stuff with than any chinatown katana will do just like you'd be fine with a Savage or CZ or some other budget tier plinker. But if you want a Katana because of the history and backstory embodied by one, you should do yourself a service and at least find the Uberti (Italian replica western weapons manufacturer, made all the guns for Sergio Leone's films) of Swords and get yourself one that is properly forged even if it's not being done by an ancient Japanese fellow who had to change his last name and makes swords by quenching them in a thousand year old rushing river.
