- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 1 month ago:
In retrospect… yes.
I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.

I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.
But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.
15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I went looking for… well there was another site that listed them but it seems to be shut down now, so thanks for posting that.
I also ran across and article that mentioned IMDB having a page for every movie that had details on its original shooting format e.g. 2K digital/35mm/sony handycam (looking at you Blare Witch Project)… but I think that’s gone subscription only? Not sure, maybe just gone.

Yeah… not always. Especially older stuff that would need to be rescanned from film.

I just meant someone could uprez an old 1080p transfer themselves ;-) Hopefully there’s a bit more going on with these releases, extra pixels aren’t everything… but I’m one of the folks that believes it should be a new scan, not just some fancy uprezing algorithm.
My parents always warned me that sitting to close to the TV would rot my brain :-)

Gotta’ machine gun them out before people realize they can make their own 4K version at home now ;-)
- Comment on Inaccuracies 3 months ago:
Ooooo… okay, somehow I was getting like a “did you really have to gender the example?“ vibe… so hopefully that explains my confusion/response.
- Comment on Inaccuracies 3 months ago:
For sure. And ultimately they gave credit where it was due, which is nice but it was a bit jarring. I think that means the filmmakers did their job well and crafted a character I could identify with.
- Comment on Inaccuracies 3 months ago:
Um… I don’t think it matters to me what the characters gender was, but it seemed like the least I could do since I wasn’t going to go back and look up the characters name.
I think you’re reading something into my comment I don’t intend? Strictly referring to a character Ulana Khomyuk from the HBO miniseries here.

Sounds exactly like the names I would come up with breathing 20% nitrous oxide for a few hours…

Couldn’t hide my disappointment at the end when they were like [strong female character] was created from the stories of over fifty different scientists…
- Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee? 3 months ago:
You can get it in a can, just gotta’ pour it off before you toss all the beans. Or get one of those big boba straws… pro tip: buy a few cans, there’s just not enough in one.

You guys 🥹
Look the beans were great, but our own bender-hookers-and-blow meme. You shouldn’t have ☺️❤️❤️❤️
- Comment on [Discussion] What do you think about "Knives out" movies? 3 months ago:
I’m just not sure I see the appeal… they mash in this weird campiness that makes it hard for me to enjoy it on a serious level, especially the second. I love a good mystery too, the old masterpiece theater productions of Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Ironsides were favorites. I also really enjoyed the new ones with Cumberbatch, so it’s not like I’m opposed to a modern reinterpretation.

Not quite the clip I was hoping for, but it’ll do :-)

Obviously AI! Just look at his hands, they are normal sized.

- Comment on B O N G 4 months ago:
True… but probably much more substantial in the theater. Maybe it was just because it ran for like a year, but more than any other film I remember hearing Titanic from the hallway while walking to see other movies.
- Comment on B O N G 4 months ago:
Truly just the relevant 3 seconds. Thank you stranger :-)
- Comment on B O N G 4 months ago:
I’m trying to remember if the movie actually had that sound effect… anyone?

Sounds logical.
Unless your toothpaste has no fluoride ;-)
- Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance amd can't afford dental care? 4 months ago:
I’m going to give those another try. My mouth is tiny and my fingers are stubby (thanks dad! ;-) But you get way more crap out with floss.
- Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance amd can't afford dental care? 4 months ago:
A toothpaste that restores your enamel. It’s prescription in the US but you can get Apagard Premio off Amazon.
It’s probably a good idea to get some extra fluoride since the Apagard doesn’t have any. I use purple Listerine, but I kinda hate it, so find something you like.
You should floss, which I’m shitty at, so I use a water pick a few times a week. All kinds of nasty crap comes out, even after brushing, so it’s gotta be better than nothing.
I use a Philips Sonicare toothbrush, no need to get the fancy ones, it’s mostly extra accessories. There are probably less expensive ultrasonic toothbrushes out there that work well… doing it twice a day manually is probably better for you than once a day with a fancy toothbrush.
Hang in there, clinical trials of a drug that regrows teeth are underway and the results are promising.

- Comment on You know, with his health, I'm just happy he's healthy enough to take a dump. 7 months ago:
I hate pooping in the dark :-) I think one of the other comments probably tracks a bit more, good cats have an instinct to burry it and then scratch up the whole area so it’s less obvious they hid something.
Honestly crocodile box isn’t far off either. The bigger the box, the less chance anything winds up outside. Every time we got a bigger box it made cleanup a bit easier, the corner box fit the bill and has 2 high sides so no pee hits the wall :-)
Hopefully your boy feels better soon.

The big triangle shaped corner litter boxes can help a bit. I think the last one we had was branded Natures Miracle. Sorry your boy’s doing poorly, that sucks :-|

Thanks for explaining this… something about it being kind of democratic (?) makes it more amusing than irritating.
Lemmy still feels thin compared to the colossal poop-chute that was Reddit.
Knowing that the spurt of new furry porn in my all feed, is the result some new Lemmite fast-fingering the subscribe button is kind of delightful :-)

And I’ve died laughing :-) Thank you for that.
P.S. No idea why I just got a notification for this.
