Never heard of it, but I use Tri-flow and Houdini liberally. If Ballistol doesn’t leave a residue it’s probably fine

Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It’s course and rough and gets everywhere
It’s just that there are men in No Man’s Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man’s Land
It’s science

Replace Nomansland with Corn and it’s pretty much spot on

Unfortunately taxes is how gentrification of neighborhoods removes the poors. If property taxes remember relatively flat for low income property owners they could actually benefit from the equity they put into their homes. Instead of rising with the waters of gentrification they are squeezed out of their home and future benefits of living in an improving neighborhood.

Leaving aside how gross it is, and separate from whether corporations should be the arbiters of morality:
Incest between parent and child, even if the offspring is of legal age of consent, would imply an insurmountable power differential as well as likely grooming. Incest between siblings would depend on the age differential and authority structure of the family. It’s not a case of incest=abuse, but of how likely it could imply abuse. The challenge is nuance. The goal is harm reduction
I understand that for some incest porn is enjoyable, not because they would commit incest themselves, but because incest=forbidden=naughty=sexy. Maybe that’s you? In any case, you asked how violence is implied, and that’s my take

Oh man yeah, I remember seeing this on thinkgeek a while back. I wish I had gotten that shirt before they went under

…and this is the puffy-faced fizzblood. We have learned many interesting things about Terra from these creatures. For instance, while they often cry blood, occasionally their eyes will just, you know, burst. Seems to be pretty random, we think they evolved to burst their eyes to confuse predators

More like the Vimes Unified Theory of Adulthood
Another gem from that theory:
“That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp”

I’m ootl, what racist stuff?
I mean, I’m familiar with bitch lasagna, but i imagine it’s worse than that, considering another commenter called him a Nazi
This is a genuine question, btw. I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” anymore, and what is “it” is weird and scary to me

Halo was best when it was Halo:CE played 4v4 on two linked systems, with the teams on two screens in an undersized dorm room in 2002. Alternatively, two people playing through the entire game in co-op mode and finishing at 3 in the morning.
Everything since then has been mid at best

So judge all you like, and you do seem to like it
Oh, sorry, my tone is difficult to read over text. I forget that sometimes. I was, in fact, speaking against condemning people for their dietary decisions. Processed food is engineered to be addictive and not provide long term benefit, and obesity is like the one sin people can still condemn others for indiscriminately. But yeah, easy to read my post as the opposite of that, my bad
And man, yeah, weight fluctuating despite consistent caloric intake because of stress? Oh yes! Add to that the fact that a person has less mental bandwidth to give to dietary needs and it can become a negative feedback loop. I’m living that reality right now. Plus changes in metabolism from middle age. It sucks
- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 3 months ago:
tl;dr: I 100% agree with you
As quality of life declines, addictions will rise. Anything to stave off the cortisol and get a little more dopamine. Anything to make life a little less miserable. And the most socially acceptable addiction, the one they engineer daily to be more effective?
Food
And it’s totally fine to eat what you like, to have a big dinner with friends, to treat yourself. Until it isn’t. Until you cross an abstract threshold from socially acceptable to being a glutton. You wake up one morning and you’re a fat piece of shit draining resources and injuring nurses with your giant obese ass. Why didn’t you exercise a little self control? Why didn’t you go for a jog? Just exert a little willpower you lazy bastard. You deserve this. Actions have consequences.
You deserve to die on the factory floor before you can collect a pension, you selfish asshole
- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 3 months ago:
There are two stories here. One is that a middle aged man in poor health unexpectedly died right after finishing his shift. That’s the story you read. The other is that there is a systemic abuse of power by management to overwork higher seniority workers until they quit or are in too poor health to work. That’s the story I read.
