Gifted my kids, both of them already young adults, one of those retro gaming sticks. An absolute bang/for/buck wonder, full of retro emulators and ROMs. Christmas Day, at grandmas was a retro fest, with even grandma playing. Pac man, frogger, space invaders, galaga, donkey Kong, early console games…. Retro gaming has amazing games, where gameplay and concepts had to make do with the limited resources.

The Wii was a fantastic example of this. Less capable hardware used in very imaginative ways, and had the capacity to bring older people into the games

Bidet is the obvious way to do it right. Japanese toilet second, but if you can-t go at home, at least use moist TP towelettes, and don-t flush them! Throw them in the waste bin!

I, male, once bought a pair if jeans that had shorter than usual pockets. After a few uses I essentially stopped using them. Now whenever I buy pants, first thing I check is pocket depth

In Spanish “Una burrada” is used to describe a massive amount, an excess. I guess it checks out.

- Comment on Just meet an 86 year old Vietnam veteran with 2 People Hearts, and he said "Platoon" 1986 was the movie that best portrayed his Vietnam experience. 5 weeks ago:
I saw it when it came out, in a theater. When the movie ended you could not hear anyone, nobody moved and when we exited, the silence was eerie. I was exhausted. The movie is intense+
- Comment on Anon holds her bf 1 month ago:
My exwife of 18 years dumped me when I went into a period of depression, fueled by the death of my father and a business failure. As soon as I ceased to be the rock, I became value less.
I had been there for her for two serious bouts of depression.
I have heard of similar things from friends. Men are not allowed to show weakness. Remember men were not supposed to cry until recently.

- Comment on Perfect Christmas Gift for your boyfriend or husband 1 month ago:
I used to date a girl who told me that she had dated a guy with an XL dong. I have very standard equipment, and she said that it was great, as it was fine in all occasions, while the other sometimes created problems. I obviously chose to believe her :) That said, I think that the majority of penises falling within a certain range, is an evolutionary thing, making the average work well more times, thus enhancing the chance of offspring.

While I admit that I used to think trading was gambling I now know that while there is an element of gambling, there are a lot of measurable factors that make the “gambles” much more informed, even market psychology to some extent.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 1 month ago:
I have smoked and vaped alternatively. When I’ve vaped I have breathed as bad or worse than smoking. Vape liquids are polyethylene glycol (or some other glycol, can’t remember) and glycerine, often in 50/50 or a close ratio up or down. When vaping you are coating your lungs in oil. Probably not better than smoke. Different type of harm, but definitely very harmful. Just think about it: oil in your lungs…

Among the many factors, I think that we shouldn’t lose sights on the fact that statistically there is a percentage of any population who has no “normal” sexual orientation. This means that there a percentage of conservative/religious fundamentalists who are non-heterosexual CIS in the closet, who fight against sexual diversity to defend their chosen belief structure. There cannot be queers, thus they are an abomination that must be stamped out.

I find this disingenuous, infantilizing. Racial discrimination and warring has been happening since the beginning of (recorded) time. It stems, among many, many other things (this thing is incredibly complex), from the fear of the other’s “unknowns”, a somewhat justified fear of others, given humanity’s penchant for conquering the neighbors. Another factor is the use of each own’s feeling of superiority over the other’s, to cover for one’s underlying fear of inferiority in some way. Take the example (one of many, not singling out here) of the Jews assertion that they are god’s chosen people, thus everyone else being inferior.
While divide and conquer has been used since the dawn of time, and adapted by the capitalists, the sad and simple fact is that people fear that which doesn’t conform to their comfortable life scheme, that people want certainty, and having a “different” is unsettling for many, and demonization is an easy way to prop one’s belief structure. People who exchange critical thinking for a “safe” belief structure, find it threatening to have others challenge that, so they fight back, to try to have that attack defeated. This can be exploited by others, to rally against that perceived common enemy. Wave a flag, and all who have a common belief of that flag representing their values will rally.
People don’t want to think, and/or challenge their beliefs. It’s a comfort thing.
- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 2 months ago:
It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.
Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?

I was once at a convenience store, run by a Chinese man, and this 30ish girl in a tank top, obviously a regular comes in and says @look I got my sons name tattooed. Then she says, “look, Aitor@“. The guysmiles nervously. She leaves, and I ask the guy, who es shaking his head, and he says that it was some random mataré sign.
