A fetish where people stick things up their urethra.

we shouldn’t make fun of people dying just because they’re vegan. That’s tastelsss.
- Comment on Where *does* the money come from? 17 hours ago:
It’s both. Trust me.
Having worked in a union shop where we were constantly told we should think ourselves lucky to have a job and there was no money for raises or any other benefits for more than a decade, and they even broke us in bankruptcy proceedings, but when faced with a huge worker shortfall they started throwing huge wage bumps, bonuses, and rapid career advancement tracks to attract new people…fuck them. The money is always there when it matters to them.

And compare that to the rise of right wing ownership of media.

Sunsy Shine.
- Comment on lightbulbs 4 days ago:
I have an actual full-spectrum daylight bulb and it’s pretty good. I use it when the days get really short, seems modestly effective. It’s not the typical “warm” lighting, it’s much more actual daylight. I can’t stand those hard white almost blueish light bulbs. Makes things feel industrial and cold. No idea why anyone calls them “daylight”.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 6 days ago:
Yes. The Tulsa race massacre for instance. Not that I’m comparing the current state of politics to longstanding racism, only that once you are sufficiently demonized by conservatives they have no problem killing you. And you can find similar events big and small throughout American history.
- Comment on Just say the word 6 days ago:
Hell yes.
- Comment on Nature sure made the right choice 6 days ago:
Maybe a hole of the appropriate singular size would need more structural support to remain open and be in more danger of: collapse, blockage, insect invasion, or foreign object ingestion - or objects large enough to be guaranteed to do more lung damage.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 6 days ago:
Now show cbd/pot use.
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 1 week ago:
Severe illness or a gulag.
50 lb over 8 weeks is pretty insane. 1 lb/week is pretty good. 2 a week is pushing it.
50 isn’t going to happen without consequences.
- Comment on Every job that I was ever trained to do and every job when I trained others was like this 1 week ago:
Employee: “Change thing for (cost savings, expediency, safety)!
Management: (if they reply at all) “No. Do it the way we have always done it. Change is expensive.”
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
Ok, Brits… what is GOOD British food? Fish ‘n Chips? Mushy Peas? Full English? Sunday Roast? I’ve been to the UK more times than I can count and even the Pubs often serve international fare instead of Spotted Dick.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I hate that this makes sense.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 1 week ago:
Yeah, I get this sentiment. I don’t particularly like cooking, but I like cooking a lot more than what my partner prepares.
- Comment on If the United States of America was renamed, what should it be? 1 week ago:
The Patriotic Republic of Democratic Free Republicanistan.
Of course it won’t be democratic, or free, and the patriotism is punitively mandatory.
- Comment on welp 2 weeks ago:
It is!
- Comment on welp 2 weeks ago:
Look, I don’t want to argue about that.
- Comment on welp 2 weeks ago:
No it isn’t. It’s just contradiction.
- Comment on welp 2 weeks ago:
Oh look, this isn’t an argument.

Ans they’ll probably be designed to be strong enough for a human to use, because that’s good safety design.

Not a problem if you shower regularly enough and clean all the right places.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 3 weeks ago:
But as long it sounded like he was addressing their fears, the most frightened people struggling to make ends meet latched onto whatever false hope he gave them.
Bit of a differenceI should point out – trump addressed their fears by giving them someone to blame with at best a nominal economic statement. LGBTQ, libs, Biden, “elites”, brown people, foreign countries, etc. were all to blame.
He never actually had a plan to offer anyone on how he was going to fix things other than by punishing the scapegoats. “I’ll lower prices” vs a boring, difficult to understand, years-long effort to maneuver industry and economics in a positive direction for the middle and lower classes.
- Comment on And the cold in particular. 3 weeks ago:
Meh. Cold doesn’t bother me too much. But it being dark at 4:30? Yeah, that can get fucked.

We’ve never been great. It’s just removing the veneer of respectability we gave ourselves and doubling down on the shittiest parts.
