  • I live in a flyover state, and was never teased in the locker room for being uncircumcised. No one even brought it up. Had they, I’m sure my response would’ve been “why you looking at my dick, bro? You hungry?”.

    Cleaning is as easy as any other body part.

    I’ve never had a negative interaction about it with any girl. I don’t think most girls know what they’re looking at with a lot of detail.

    My son isn’t either, and I just showed him how to bathe properly early on (keeping in mind kids often forget it don’t understand and need little of reinforcement for anything). “If you don’t scrub a body part with soap, it isn’t getting cleaned”. That’s true for armpits, feet, whatever. Never a problem.

    It’s amazing that most of the world is uncircumcised, and doesn’t have a problem. It’s only the United States where we have to chop off boys dicks?



  • I disagree, “What’s up, people?” By Maximum the Hormone (Death Note OP 2) is great. The intro with all the manically laughing Light heads in the fires of hell, while MtH growls metal vocals over it? Chef’s kiss.

    High School of the Dead has a great opening as well - Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets. It’s also a really fun anime.

    Call of the Night’s entire anime was written around the song in their season 1 opening. It’s pretty good as well.

    Someone already mentioned Cowboy Bebop, and that entire soundtrack is perfect. They wrote many episodes to fit the music they made first.

    Tokyo Ghoul had that meme of the opening for a while, because that one part sounds really nice when it hits.

    I’m sure there’s others, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.





  • It’s odd that they consider the really specific case of a teen that works two jobs to make ends meet, and decide to make national sweeping changes to accommodate that. No, no way could it have any negative effect on anyone else. And they definitely shouldn’t try to address the problem of one job for that teen not being enough to support themselves.

    THIS is what a union helps you do. To stop shit like this. This is an unthinkable possibility in the US because there’s no unions in any effective capacity.


  • Watch the movie. It’s not a gun. I can’t believe you haven’t seen the movie. That’s sad.

    I notice you dropped the point of it being pointed at the neck. Good call.

    I never, NEVER, said I celebrate the death of people for their ideals. Do not put words into my mouth. You keep trying to stifle people’s views and call us celebrating, and keep us from expressing our views. So that’s why I ask why you’re trying to limit our freedom. Why do you hate freedom? It’s a simple question that you should be able to answer.


  • Have you seen Honey I Shrunk the Kids? What this is based on? It’s a shrink ray mounted on a table with microchips and a baseball. That’s not any gun shape that has ever existed in the history of ever. Show me a screenshot of the movie where the shrink ray is a hand held weapon with a trigger. I don’t care what your hallucinating AI BS says. It’s wrong.

    And it’s a simple question. You want us to curb our free speech. My freedom. Because you hate it. So really the only discussion with having is WHY you hate it freedom. Why do we need to give it up?



  • They support the idea of comeuppance. It’s so rare to see, when it’s always us losing something. To see someone else pay a terrible price for their own words, rather than is pay for their words.

    Rush Limbaugh died an old, wealthy man. And he didn’t care that his words lead to abortion clinic bombings, rotations of rights, erosion of critical thinking, and less civility. He “got away with it”.

    Alex Jones looked to be getting his, but it seems now he can make money off of dead kids, harass the parents, and get off Scott free. That leaves a bad taste in many people’s mouths.

    Tucker Carlson got out-argued and lost his job on crossfire - that was a comeuppance that I still celebrate.

    Is it ghoulish to celebrate that Tucker had to eat his own medicine? I think not.

    Timewarp, why do you hate freedom? Why would you push us to self-censor and just let fascists do what they want? They’re going to try to do it anyway, regardless of what anyone does. I bet you’d give Austria and Poland to Germany in the name of civility and appeasement, too.




  • You can buy a title from Sealand, a dubious claim to a pirate radio station built upon a WWII sea platform. It’s not officially recognized by the UK, but is just offshore from them. They have the debatable claim of actually being able to sell titles because it’s created land outside the UK.

    Obviously just for fun. If anyone can buy a title, then what’s the point of having it?





  • We had a huge ice storm in 2007 across the entire state of Oklahoma. The whole state was without power. I didn’t have a chimney, and neither did anyone else I knew. It was easy to freeze to death as every road was ice, or covered with fallen trees. It took a month to get an electrician to fix our rental house, and we stayed with my dad who heated his house with the oven burners that used natural gas. You could die that way, but it was below freezing so we had no choice.

    My next house had a chimney, and I got a small generator. I’ve had to use them both, since.

    I will always have a chimney for emergency heat!
