Yeah, it's part cool science part wtf fetish is this?

The design is almost too good, but the idea of butt cheek winches giving you a thigh Gap in public commiserate with readings from your twat condenser reads as awkward af to me.

For burning man or something? Sure nip propellors ahoy.

Iirc I think it was meth

I know a guy who knows a guy that did too much acid and twisted he own ball off. A bunch of them were tripping balls (pun intended) in a ravine and the dude had his hand in his pocket for a long time, then they noticed the growing bloodstain on the front if his pants.

That's not how drugs work. Acid doesn't make you ignore pain. PCP? Sure.

I don't think it makes you a shallow person to want an engagement ring that you think is pretty and that suits your style, instead of whatever random thing a salesperson talked your partner into.


Right. Wanting an engagement ring at all is what makes you shallow.

I worked in a jewelry store for 6 years and trust me, some women out there will straight up dump you in the store if they get a diamond or set of diamonds under a carat. I've seen it happen. Marketing has gone to these people's heads like you wouldn't believe. If you get less than a carat it means you don't love them. It's insane.

I've seen numerous breakups and screaming fights over the stupidest poo poo like colour of gold, cancelling a hold in another store without permission, picking the wrong size even though that can be adjusted later because it means she's fat and you want her to be skinnier, non-matching rings, you name it.

I was so glad when I left. People shopping for jewelry are loving mental.

And they should be thankful for being dumped before being financially hitched to a materialistic twat for as long as it takes to realize you need a divorce.

Engagement rings belong in the same category as being legally unable to refuse your husband sex and domestic abuse being acceptable. It's a dumb thing from the past we should all be ashamed of and move on.

I proposed to my wife at the end of Sims Park Pier in Euclid, OH, Spring of '85 after spitting a bottle of wine. I said, "So do you want to get married?", and she said "Hell yeah". That was 31 years ago. Anyway she picked out her engagement ring, and it was only 1/4 caret because anything larger looked "fake" in her mind. I dunno, I think it was a good plan.

I don't understand why anyone cares. It's just the magic equivalent of what actual rich people did before plumbing. This should just be "lol useless fact" the same as if it was revealed that hagrid has a mole on his thigh shaped vaguely like Vermont. Like.. okay.

IDK, I'm always reminded of Merton's Strain Theory and Cooley's looking Glass self when people make fun of these guys.

Are they deserving of such ridicule? Quite often, yes. But I think doing so might be more harmful than helpful. We just reinforce their beliefs by doing so, and make it that much harder for them to ever be anything other than who they are now.

I'm torn because obviously we should call out awful behavior, but sometimes we are just making fun of people for being a little weird and that doesn't really seem any different than bullying.

On the contrary, learning that babies are a pain in the rear end and that you can accidentally murder them if you don't drastically alter your normal behavior is an invaluable lesson. People still do stupid poo poo with real babies and you have to wonder if they would have had they taken the class.

Idk, for me if you choose to wear pissy diapers or gently caress anime dogs, these are choices you made. That guy just has a weird looking face, if he were normal looking those pictures wouldn't be ridiculed. I'm not the AUG police or anything, I'm just saying it doesn't feel the same.

The parents in my neighborhood all put the kids outside pretty much all weekend, and we just came home for lunch or dinner. Nobody supervised us, we just wandered in the woods and poo poo.

There is something to be said for teaching your kids responsibility, and for protecting them, but there has to be some middle ground between watching them all the time and leaving them unsupervised most of the time.

Speaking of purity balls, there is no way this elected official hasn't taken his daughter to one



Someone pointed out that this was a joke, but uh, "I want to gently caress my daughter" hasn't ever been a funny joke. Maybe to conservatives because they actually want to gently caress their daughters, but to us regular people, this is not normal behavior.

As dumb as this is, nothing in it implies he wants to gently caress his daughter, only that he doesn't want her to get hosed. It's still dumb, but not as awful as you are asserting.

I think we can all agree that anyone who cares enough about anything to tell you about it constantly is awful, especially since we're all dead inside and can't fathom caring about anything that much.

I always thought it was weird that people didn't seem to understand the plot or themes of fight club despite their painful obviousness.

People feel the need to belong to something, and they will do pretty much anything to accomplish that goal.
We are presented this psuedoanarchist narrative as a counter to the cult of consumerism, but the narrative itself is guilty of nearly all the same pitfalls as the ideology it purports to be contrary to.

A good bit of the story was basically telling you that anticonsumerism isn't a substitute for a personality, and railing against capitalism as a means of attaining self worth by using anarchy as a means of attaining self worth is basically doing exactly the same thing.

The irony of being told to think for yourself as a method of keeping you from thinking for yourself and getting you to adhere to the norms of the group shouldn't be lost on anyone.

This concludes my Ted talk.

Good on your parents for letting you learn from your own mistakes instead of making you eat something else every once in awhile.

I don't know if you have ever dealt with a small child, but you can't really make them do anything on that level. All you can do is react one way or another when they fail to comply.

I mean, I kinda get it. it's not good writing but I understand what the sentence is trying to convey.

She is sexually mature, but intellectually immature.

I don't know why you would need to convey that idea. But it's not hard to understand, despite being awful.

I guess that is a valid interpretation. I was reading it more crudely based on the sentence as guts referring to up in them rather than determination.
