Oh, lol, sorry. I thought you meant how the ‘knot’ and ‘weed’ fit into current internet culture. A lot of plants have names that probably don’t make much sense to us. Apparently in its native Japan, there are 689 terms for it! Damn. I noticed that another english name for it is Donkey Rhubarb, which immediately makes me think of other things, and I’m now realizing I spend way too much time on the internet. /facepalm

I think Ian M. Banks (‘The Culture’ series) already had that, unless that’s specifically what you were referencing. Though humanity wasn’t a part of The Culture, as explicitly explained when they were viewing us like apes in a zoo, so the ringworlds with primitive cultures on them that had AI machine minds tending them weren’t from the wake of humanity.

On the internet, everything vaguely dog-like has a big, thick penis with an even bigger, thicker bulb at the bottom of it. I’ve heard it’s perfect for prissy subs everywhere as you love-fuck them into a drooling mess only to ‘tie’ them at the end as you howl your alpha-dominant status to the echoing world of your 10ftx10ft, $1500/mo

The amount of scathing that a canopy company gets when a skydiver hits hard is particularly dependent on their quality. Most of us who skydive read the death/injury reports regularly, and when the equipment was at fault it (the report) gets nasty. (Here’s a link)[www.uspa.org/searchincidentreports] if anyone is curious to read through some of them. The majority are going to be the fault of the loon jumping out of a plane, but every now and then you’ll see an equipment failure. Most of those, even, are due to poor maintenance and upkeep, not manufacturer sleaziness.

Course ya did. TIs aren’t nonces, at work anyway. And the guys they train are only sometimes nonces. And some of them like big tips ^.^

It’s happened more often than you’d think. Usually there is something that makes it happen, like falling through tree branches or into something like a snow bank, but it happens enough that it pops up in trivia from time to time.

There’s enoch, who was taken up to heaven by a chariot while on a stroll, I think. He supposedly ‘walked with god’ and was thus holy enough to not die or something. so there’s your oxen (the chariot) and went into the sky and never seen again.

Um… forgive me, but isn’t the verbiage “throw a 90kg projectile 300 metres” pretty against the idea of throwing a 400-600kg projectile a similar distance?

You’re right. I didn’t think of that, but it does completely shift the lens.
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 days ago:
Maybe I’m crazy or out of touch, but I’ve never asked these questions… because all of them but #6 and #7 should have been in the information given out long before I even get to the interview. Two/Five should at least be addressed by someone selling the company to you during the interview.
Six could be worded a bit better, because the interviewer is already going to have to clarify with you what pressure and laid back look like to you, and seven is probably better once the negotiation starts after the offer is begun.

You could replace “keep silent about their harmless hobbies” with a great many other things, and people will say yes. The hobbies thing is relatively tame compared to a great deal of self-directed changes/decisions based on the partner.

I’ll do you ~one~two better: my computer’s from 2012. I can play even modern games on high settings sometimes. It wasn’t even a high specced one at the time. I think I put about $1200 into the actual components AND monitor/keyboard.

Wait until you hear the real shenanigans. Remember the cards against humanity fricassee with elon musk’s company down near the border? It’s not all that uncommon. I lived in an area with less people than cows for a few years, and there was a famous (true) local legend of a construction company that had put heavy machinery (I think some sort of road roller) in front of a farmer’s front land/gate, then refused to move it when asked. The farmer stacked about 30-50 round bales of hay around said piece of equipment, and told them just what would happen if they tried to ‘steal’ his hay. 6 years later, that equipment was still sitting there, and I’m betting it still is.

Question for the doctor, especially due to your location of work. Have you ever been approached for shadowing? How would you prefer to be asked?

I suppose it’s possible. The amount of absorption is going to depend on what specifically is ‘in there.’ Most vitamins (for example) have been separated from their pre-eaten location/environment by the physical mastication, churning, and compression; and by chemical means by chelation agents, acid/enzyme digestion, or other molecules that break apart lipid blobs and such. Alcohol, the oft-given example of a substance absorbed by the rear part of your gastric tube, is a fairly ‘ready to be absorbed’ compound. Suppositories are also similarly in a state that makes their active agents easily absorbed.
A whole bananal probably is going to be absorbed like a rock through a 5mm sieve. The bacteria in the rectum might start the process, but if you’ve ever seen an organic object like an apple or banana rot outside somewhere, it is a very slow process. You’ll be much more likely to suffer some form of infection/sepsis from the bloom of bacteria (or the smaller chance of a fungal infection) long before enough of the banana is absorbed.
All of this is even more true if the OP was shoving them still in their skins in. The bananal skin will definitely be a very slow degradation, and absorb like an intelligent thought into the president elect.

From the Hollywoo rule of attackering protagonists, more attackers mean more ways to foil them by misdirection and mutual banging each other, therefore 2>1.

I’ll do you better, and someone out there may know it’s me.
I once was in a river,
downstream from many givers,
and then began to shiver,
I felt a slide go past my liver.
There I was alone;
the house far, and across stone;
and my south began to groan;
from my lips I droned, “oh no.”
I tried to climb the rise,`
while tightly clamping thighs,
but as I soon surmised,
I couldn’t hold the surprise.
All the river floaters watched,
as my privacy I botched,
there right upon the stony swatch,
what horror flowed right from my crotch.
- Comment on Treat taking a dump like a sport 2 weeks ago:
Worst experience of my shitting life was when I didn’t defecate prior to the monthly jog. Luckily I could squeeze through the fence of the golf club I was near, and it was early enough nobody was around to ‘report’ me, AND they had the course’s bathroom door unlocked. Now I just exercise at home where there’s a bathroom within safe jumping distance.

I feel you’ve got a good personal reason behind it though. I haven’t seen anything from you about your health recently, so I hope you’re doing great, and that the move to the UK goes swell!
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 2 weeks ago:
I mean, I get it, but this is the same logic that is sometimes used for school shootings. It’s abhorrent to ignore a large increase compared to other places just because it is still a small chance, and therefore do nothing.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 2 weeks ago:
I have to think a bullet brick would be much more painful than a bullet point. I’m also curious if it would be more of a cannon than a gun, and thus safer to have in the hands of ‘the people’ because it wouldn’t really be a thing you could carry around on a whim. Would people put it in those little red wagons and walk it like a dog in a movie montage?

We’ll all be your friend here. We just have to avoid all things that could potentially cause strife, because we are on the .world server, after all. No real discussions, no delving into topics that unnerve cowardly mods. Everything is surface level and calm, just like any casual… friendship… without feeling…
You took the blue pill already, didn’t you?
- Comment on Choosing pink is chaotic evil? 2 weeks ago:
Do you have to have the person in line-of-sight? Is awareness of them enough? Do they need to hear you? Do they need to see you? The “on command” bit is what makes me think they need to be able to be given a command, so at the very least have a speaker nearby. It’s a great bluff though. Who, after all, would actually question it once you’ve made them go several times.
The diarrhoea bit is an idea though. Can you make them poop in different ways? If you can make them have loose, watery stools could you also go the other direction and make them shit bricks? Take 100 men, make them shit bricks, and now you have an industry of adamantium-strength building material. Scale it up as business grows. The world would design around the piddling side effect that the hardest material in the universe is fecal matter. Masks with jasmine would become standard. People would wear skintight bodysuits that are easily removed and recycled in the intimate parts of their homes/offices that are made from non fecal material. Cleanliness would take over the world by necessity. You could be the start of a beautiful, shit-built world…

The only reason I wouldn’t want to take my partner’s name, or have the partner take mine, is the same reason I wouldn’t want to blend. It’s just a headache to make sure everything is changed. It’s why you see a lot of people who published research before their marriage continue to publish under the same name even if they changed their name. It’s a major hassle.
