Somewhat related... I was taking my kid to the playground the other day and it was completely empty except for one dude just sitting on the bench at the playground reading. I understand it was empty when I got there but there were also tons of places to sit that weren't right at the playground so that just seemed sus and we left. Seems like a good rule of thumb to not sit at a playground if you're a single dude though

Might've just been convenient. Maybe he was meeting friends who had kids. At the end of the day, it's just an assumption.

Again, I believe everything you've said. I was just hoping for a bit more information on the subject. Dunno why it's made you so aggressive.

Buddy over half the world lives like this

You're the one making these generalizations. I simply asked if you could share a little evidence. You couldn't.

So there's not. Cool.

It really isn't for me. I can get everything sitting down. If you have back problems where reaching behind you is an issue then I can understand but I don't think most people have that problem

How deep are you cleaning?

Shrek posted...

it just sounds like you want to play with your butthole

I don't wanna play with it but I like it when other people play with my butthole. It's a great source of pleasure. That's why I want it clean as a whistle.

It's weird seeing you say this because most of the world is this way...........

Well I'm glad I avoided it. Seems pretty outdated. Also, is there evidence of this statement? I'm not disbelieving you, but if there's an article or study, I'll give it a read.

Its called wet wipes bro. And the foot on the counter lol... that's what kids do. This can all be accomplished while sitting. I'll make a video and post here soon guys

I wasn't talking about wet wipes. I said if you don't use water on your butt, you're dirty. Wet wipes have water. That's what makes them wet.

Foot on the counter is just my own personal preference. No idea how the kids do it. They're way shorter so they'd have their foot nearly up to their head. That's great that it can all be accomplished while sitting, but I don't totally agree. It's harder to clean deeper while sitting; it's a strain twisting and reaching back. Also, not all bodies are the same. Some people have shorter arms or longer torsos which might make it difficult to reach. On top of that, it's just more comfortable cleaning while standing (for me). Again, the first few wipes are while sitting in order to get the excess off. For the deeper cleaning, standing just provides more reach as you can use your whole body to get in there just right with minimal strain.

So it's a cultural thing. The mother/father title thing is still weird to me. You're removing the name altogether which feels like a form of distance to establish authority. It's just seems dumb. A sign of familiarity between to family members is somehow bad? At least with teachers and Japanese people you're still using a name. I had some teachers that were pretty chill and didn't mind students using their first name.

OhhhJa posted...

You lean forward and lift your ass. You standing guys think it's like a serious exercise or something lol. I promise it's not yoga. Although I like to shit while I'm doing hot yoga but that's a whole different thing

Assuming that it's one or the other (sitting/standing) is false. It should be both imo. And if there's no bidet or water applied during cleanup, those asses are still dirty.

I don't know how the other standers do it but the first few wipes are while sitting, usually before and after using a bidet. Then I squat with one foot on the counter to clean deeper with the wipes.

So, why is it disrespectful to call them by name? I haven't seen any good reasons so far. It's likely just the preference of individuals.

USA: 4/10 It's a real shitshow here.

Wouldn't be fair to rank the rest since I've never been.

Yeah but like where are your parents from

Not sure how that makes a difference. I was mostly raised by my mother and grandmother, who had no issue with being called by name instead of title. From what I heard, my dad is Puerto Rican-american but never bothered to be around in my life. My mom is american, born and raised.

MagicalPrincess posted...

That's very disrespectful. We're not supposed to call our parents or grandparents by their name.

Why? That's never made sense to me. It wasn't disrespectful to the people who raised me. Are they somehow wrong?

Cruciferous posted...

people who call ur parents by first name

where are you from

I grew up in California

OhhhJa posted...

I generally assume the parents suck if their kids call them by their name. That implies there isn't a very close relationship there honestly

Could you elaborate? Never seemed weird to me to call my mom by name; it's her name. We're pretty close. I also called my grandmother by her name. That means our relationship was somehow less according to you?

I also called her mom (or mommy when I was very young) but I usually called her by name cuz it felt better for my speaking self.

I think I mostly called her by name.

For the standing wet wipe, I put one foot up on the counter so it's more of a squat. For the deep clean.

Seriously not enough options here.

>wipe once or twice while sitting
>bidet blast

That's a weird hangup.

It isn't. There are many folks, usually introverts, who wish for no interaction from strangers while out in public. On top of that, folks may fake the small talk in hopes of ending the interaction sooner.

I need to watch the Sopranos

First impression:
Qdoba is definitely better than Chipotle. That said, the burrito I got seems a little smaller than the one I got from Chipotle on Tuesday. Maybe I'll have better luck with the amount of filling on my next Qdoba trip. Chipotle isn't that great (average at best) but people act as if it killed their dog, or gave them never-ending diarrhea.
Chipotle uses way too much cilantro though.

There does seem to be an awful lot of people claiming certain restaurants always give them diarrhea. I wonder if it's related to the sentiment of 'loving certain foods more than hating diarrhea'.

Never been to Qdoba but I will now. I'm familiar with Chipotle. I'll report back eventually.

Been a furry for nearly 30 years, or most of my adult life. And I was into furry stuff looooooong before I knew anything about there being a "fandom" or even a name for it.

Nice. I stumbled onto it when I was 15 after having an interesting dream. Been too broke to go to a convention for the past chunk of my life, but I'm finally going to a fur con again next month. I'm pretty stoked.

I don't expect to ever spend money on a suit but I'd be happy to wear one for a little bit should I befriend any fursuiters. Sounds like a fun experience.

My employer is too lazy to offer direct deposit.

I'd just like to say it's been a week and nearly every day since then I recognize that my life is better because I didn't engage in this argument.

You thought about what I said for a whole week? That's sweet of you.

On topic: Has anyone here actually been to any furry conventions? Been friends with furries? Most of em don't own a fursuit and are into the typical nerd stuff.

Tea practically has no caffeine. I would be surprised if you get a headache if you don't drink it for a couple days even if you are a daily drinker. It is mostly the coffee that people get the withdrawals from, mostly because it is so caffeinated and people tend to drink so much. It isn't a cup of two a day, it is several and each is practically an energy drinks worth of caffeine.

I apologize. I didn't mean to imply that tea was my go-to when I got my headache. Most of the tea I get is caffeine-free anyway but I do love a black tea now and then in the morning. Also, tea has plenty of caffeine (25-75 mg compared to coffee's 95 mg). Obviously not at much at coffee, but tea usually has half the caffeine compared to coffee (Is that practically nothing?). That's enough to provoke a withdrawal headache if you've been doing it daily for a few weeks. Haven't you heard of people getting the caffeine headache when trying to quit Diet Coke?

I used to drink caffeinated pop daily (worked at a 7-11 so the fountain soda and slurpees were free). That's what delivered my worst caffeine withdrawal headache; quitting caffeinated sodas.

I love the smell and taste of coffee. I'd probably drink drink if it wasn't a diarrhea device.

Edit: I'm speaking strictly about the headache of the withdrawal. I've heard if it's real bad, there are cold or flu-like symptoms that also appear.

trivialbeing posted...

sometimes I'm not sure if I'm a caffeine addict or just a sugar addict

It's probably both. Sugar is in just about everything in the US. And if you stop drinking your daily coffee/monster/etc, you will definitely feel the withdrawal, usually in the form of a fucked up headache.

That headache is the reason why I mostly stay off caffeine. I'll have maybe two cups of tea in a week.

I don't get it. Is this a movie reference?

The ride there and back again with friends, merch, getting unsober, etc. adds to the experience

Who's playing?

Consider that it will still probably be a good experience if you go alone. Does your experience have to be min-maxed or it's not worth doing?

Also you might get unlucky, not see them live, then they die.

Didn't this movie initially make headlines for ticket sales for on its 4th of July release? After learning more, tickets can be bought for strangers to see the movie, but seats can remain empty.

Even the movie's popularity is a lie.

This isn't proof. Lots of people would love to be an animal and shed the bullshit of human society. To me, it's more a reference to the realism of the costume.

Imagine that you spent 16k on a costume that's fun to wear in public; encourages wholesome human interaction. Are you gonna risk ruining that $16k suit by having sex in it?

It is what it is. Was kind of hoping she would anyway, but I didn't feel like doing it myself because then that would make me the bad guy or whatever.

Breaking up with her wouldn't make you the bad guy if she was crossing boundaries. Waiting for her to do it is just a really weak and cowardly move. Sounds like you knew it was a bad match and did nothing.

What boundaries did she cross?

One of the reasons I'm not into D&D is it seems to be a sexual thing for a weird number of people

What are the other reasons? Not wanting to participate in a fantastic hobby because someone made a joke on the internet seems kinda.. ignorant. You know every fandom and hobby are gonna have a few strange folks trying to make it sexual. You can simply not allow those players at the table if they turn out to be a creep.
