If memory serves me well, Yugos were made in former Yugoslavia and were known for being extremely cheap and dangerous for everyone in and around them. Am I correct?
But this makes me scratch my head.
American manufacturers exist in Europe today and regardless of not being a fan the cars sell, regardless the constant attempts to introduce pure US models, like the F series.
Ford may be the most widespread manufacturer but I’ve seen a few Dodge, Chevrolet (but GM officially pulled from the market after a 3 years run, stating it wasn’t willing to remain in a market where a minimum 25% of market share wasn’t attainable; competition sucks, apparently!), JEEP and Chrysler.
What is stopping these brands to import back the technology being used here, on their european models, back to the home country? It’s already owned here!
I remember reading an article on a joint project between GM and FIAT to develop a new and shared platform. After X number of years and a gross amount of money invested, GM drops the project, FIAT finishes it and starts building an entire new generation of cars, still being built today.
Why put time, money and effort into a project to just drop it? Having a shared platform, capable of being used to assemble vehicles on both sides of the ocean makes sense.

Some of these I can’t even fathom what they are used for.
I"m going out on a limb and risk the engineers hammer is the tool used when everything else has already failed to separate, combine, detache, attache, couple, decouple, split or join.

If a scientist came to me asking for funding to research on bodily odor (which has happened, if memory serves me well) I would be baffled by the request but I wouldn’t outright deny it.
Sweaty arm pits. Stinky feet. Bad breath. Farts.
The lab would have to be declared a bio hazard area by itself. Too good to miss out. Just the chance to see someone trying to keep a straight face while taking in some of these fine bouquet of rancid would be too good to miss.
Imagine watching the footage of a day of work.

I agree no research is useless but some just goes straight into the bonkers folder.

I didn’t. I don’t care about the votes system; you engaged me in conversation, I replied, let’s keep going. Does not care if we disagree on our views, we’re discussing ideas and that matters by itself.
You’re right. The value of anything, especially art, resides on the eye of the person looking at it, so, at this point, I will admit defeat on my previous argument.

Tagging is a form of urban cancer on its own. Full stop. But depending on what is writen, the border between reactionism and vandalism blurs.
I grew up in a very urban setting, after a political revolution, and the graffiti on the walls were words of anger, of calling out those who had cooperated with the old regime, slurs, etc.
Every word, line, trace, was disfiguring the buildings, statues and whatever surface it landed on but carried meaning, a message.
The Pompeii graffiti were gratuitous in nature but it was a city and part of a civilization know for being prone to excess. Today, those graffiti are living testaments of our colective history, although not much diferent from common and crude public bathroom scribbles.

This isn’t garbage, this is good banter.
A bored guy engraving runes at an height of 3.8 meters just to mess with the next guy reading it, an artist or worker sculpting his name into a work, ordered by the class in power (church) just to give the finger to the clergy, Mozart creating a piece to get revenge on the rich class that held him prisoner to work on what was asked to him instead of having liberty to create as he pleased…
Good, old fashioned, rebellion.

If somehow letting out all of that vitriole helped that person in feeling relieved and with their views asserted, good for them.
I sleep at ease with my conscience, as I didn’t insulted them, regardless of what they felt or thought.
Thank you for your kind words.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
I just understood there was room and need for me to clarify my position and view, so I took the chance.
But we are, indeed, a strange bunch.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Pictures or it does exist. And a video of actual use would be welcome.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
No, you should not. But everyone is in right to their opinion.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Yes and no.
I swing more towards the direction of a non-sexual relationship of any kind.

After that outing, that I sincerely hope has made your peace, I consider myself as such.

I’ll risk Japan as a vending machine to cater to your specific liking.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
I only use euphemistics if there is an established relation and consent to it.
At some point in my life I was with someone that had a kink for being called by terms I consider demeaning towards any human being, so I openly refused to do so and explained why I did it. The relationship ended shortly after.
Because I see sex in a couple dynamic as a corner stone for a healthy relationship, I always strived to be open about talking regarding limits, dos and donts. I like enjoying myself before, while and after being with my partner and making sure my partner does as well and laughing and goofing around is an integral part of it.
So, if there is mutual trust to throw around some silly dirty talk, yes, to answer your question, I would.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
For me, personally, nothing. For most, apparently, a lot.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
I trust the person I’m with and I’ve met the person dating them before me. I didn’t felt threatened or insecure; I see myself as a passing shadow through other peoples lives, which is quite liberating. If I manage to gain a prolongued stay, as I have, good, if not, good as well.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Pick whatever synonym you prefer and read it in place of.
I personally dislike “fuck”; sounds purely physical and unemotional, aggressive, quasi mechanical, like scratching an itch.
While “porking” sounds silly, goofy, almost nonsensical. Something two people attracted and trusting of each other would blurt out as teasing.
The first carries the same weight you vocalized on your reply for me, only that I don’t apply that disgust solely towards men. I can tolerate a “fuck” as an expletive towards anything in a figurative way (fuck the traffic, the car, the coffee being too hot, the iced tea too sweet, the dog peeing on the sofa, the cat throwing up on a shoe) but I sincerely dislike saying or hearing said “fuck” in the literal sense. It’s crude, rude, disrespectful towards the other.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
The above is oversimplified and written to elicite a chuckle but most people aren’t that comfortable with having another human being (I don’t discriminate; just aiming for the most probable scenario) their significant other used to pork on a more or less distant past staying around. Most will have doubts about their relationship and its heading. Or even worst.
Monkey brain and pride computes around “If they porked in the past, did they stop completely or is it a come and go situation?” Humans are strange creatures.

Somewhere along the line, when you finally meet the person that truly meets all your expectations for a life together, your friend:
- Have they told you we used to fuck?
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
We agree.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Very roundabout way to do it.
As I stated in another comment, even sex workers have the right to refuse a customer.
From my perspective, this is the kind of approach/behavior that feeds stalkers and worst.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
If that was the case, why bother with all the build up? And why sugar coat it? Even sex workers are in their right to deny a costumer.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Sad but probably true.
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 1 week ago:
If those bottles are sold as a pair and each has 500 pills, 1000 pills is more than a hospital grade package in my country.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
I feel the need to put this on its head.
What if the girl, after whatever time they spent relaxing realized she truly enjoyed his company and decided she wanted to keep him as someone she can spend time as a person and not a sexual object?
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
It may be considered as such today but it panned as not worthy of the time for many years.
The 13th Warrior was another of those movies that got thrown into the grinder by critics and cinephiles for being not worth the effort just to develop a cult following in response.
Which remebers me of another panned movie: Pathfinder
And while we’re at it, let’s add both Dredd movies (the second is the best) and the Demolition Man.
