For more fun, here's a whole list of map projections

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

Some of them are pretty crazy looking

I bet some of the people who made these had a lot of fun developing those maps, trying to come up with all sorts of fun shapes, and making them go "pew pew" at each other.

It's not like everything that exists today came to be like that in one go. Since the formation of Earth alone, millions of species have died out or evolved into something else, and entire continents have formed, shifted and or sunk before we got to how things are today. Evolutional mutations can and do occur randomly. It's just a matter of whether a species is better at surviving with or without that mutation, or whether they manage to adapt to whatever their circumstances may be, which eventually change inevitably.

If that doesn't at least make one consider the possibility of randomness, I don't know what will.

Pretty sure literally every famous actor has been in a bad-rated film at some point, though for some it's due to no fault of their own.

I can't remember Cate Blanchett ever giving a bad performance.

Text. I only voice message if that happens to be the more effective at that point, like when intonation is important or when I'm mimicking a tune.
Also, I don't like people potentially listening in on personal messages, whether it's mine or the other person's.

Just print moar munney!

Nice, looking forward to it. Always liked the original series, except of course the temporary dip after Ragnar was killed, but overall I think the show was great.

This is one of those complaints I've never understood people levying against bezos specifically. He has an $80,000 a year salary. He doesn't get stock options or bonuses. He even used to give stock to employees so they could have a stake in the company. His wealth is built entirely on the value of company and the investments he's been able to make by selling stock from that company. Complain about his warehouse conditions or any number of valid things, but it's not like he's the CEO of Walmart paying himself tens of millions of dollars a year or Elon Musk making $500 million in stock options.

Bezos is like the textbook definition of what people want CEOs to get paid and he still gets shit on for apparently paying himself too much.

Dang, he must've been saving up for quite a long time to easily afford a such a boat on a salary like that.

Fun fact: when that particular bridge was removed for renovation back in 2017, the city council had pledged the bridge would never be removed again.

But then some people might say you're a communist. You don't want to be called a communist, do you?

Sounds like Birdman syndrome to me. He'd be better off narrating another Fallout.

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it alright.

That's why I always choose to get the pulse gun on Veronica's quest.

The bigger question is will Canada invade America?

If they wanted to, Canada could jump up and down until it squashes the U.S. flat onto Mexico.

I wish people (or governments in this instance) would learn that 'backing off' does not mean 'whimping out and looking like a pathetic little bitch to the entire world'. In fact, sometimes 'pushing on no matter what' does mean exactly that.

Obviously a superhot girlfriend, though this probably requires more lateral thinking.

No, and neither have you or anyone else for that matter. This is not something people commonly do, let alone enjoy.

Always loved the intro of Bubblegum Crash (sequel to Bubblegum Crisis, which didn't have an intro theme).

Yeah, that's mostly why I quit watching the show. They tried to humanize the Governor. I wish people would stop doing this in adaptations. The Governor was entertaining because he was an unrepentant, inexplicable piece of shit. He was a monster. He didn't need moments of humanity and they didn't need to ruin Andrea by making her team up with him.

Eh, I didn't really mind that he had moments of humanity. In the show it probably worked better than if they turned him into a stereotypical comic book villain (literally, in this case). Overally he was still an evil piece of shit, but from a televisual storytelling point of view, I think it was more interesting that there was a point where he could've chosen to walk away from the past and build a new life. Instead he chose to throw it all away for the sake of vengeance.

The Governor in the show was kind of stupid compared to The Governor in the comic

Comic Governor: Attacks the Prison out of blind rage and a desire for revenge after Michonne tortures and mutilates him.

Show Governor: Wants to live in the Prison because of how secure it is against walkers, so he destroys it with a tank, thus robbing it of its purpose.

Been a long time since I've seen the show, but from what I remember, at that point the Governor was obsessed with vengeance, especially against Rick. So much even that it blinded him from all the sensible reasons to attack the prison.

Watching that literally made my jaw drop for several reasons.

'Night', like the first episode of season 5 of Star Trek Voyager:

Voyager flies through this vast area of space without any stars of detectable phenomenae whatsoever in sight. Although they are surviving and are doing their best to do what they can, but the mental stress of their situation slowly culminates, and captain Janeway becomes secluded by staying in her quarters.

The current real-life situation of covid restrictions kind of reminds me of that. I'm alive, doing what I can and things could be worse, but aside from that all I can really do is wait for things to clear up, because a lot of factors of my life basically on hold right now until this blows over.

Havent jacked it in almost a week . One more day!

I was so careful that I waited two whole weeks. I guess one week should be ok. I'd definitely wait with rougher stuff like sex for another week, but of course I ain't no botanist.

Oh no I was so fucking paranoid that I didnt even pay attention.

I had a friend who said I would never eat spaghetti again after what I saw.

I ignored pretty much everything going on during the procedure. Im pretty sure that Ill eat spaghetti or ham the next time its offered.

Yeah, I haven't felt revolted at eating anything specific since the procedure that I already revolted by before. It probably helped that I didn't actually look at was going on, though I do still feel uneasy when thinking back to the 'pulling' feeling during the actual snipping.

Never tried it. If I ever find myself on a practice mat and public embarrassment is not a factor, I might practice it. I'm pretty agile, so it shouldn't be impossible.

Maybe they could come off more vulnerable if they whine all the time about how they're not fast enough whenever something doesn't go their way.

It's almost been 48 hours, right? If it's still all good by then, you should be able to shower (gently) without too many worries.

Out of curiosity, how did you end up with this username? I reckon most 17-year olds nowadays will never even have heard of the Saturn.

I have a question because I probably gonna get it done sometime this year.

Did you guys ask your primary care physician about it and then go from there or did you just call up a urologist in your network and start there? Like idk where to even get started.

Where I live it's mandatory to be referred by your own general practicioner. The GP talked with me about it for a while to make sure I was well-informed and had thoroughly contemplated this decision in a sane state of mind. He referred me to a urologist, with whom I had a similar conversation (albeit a bit shorter, probably because he knew my GP had this talk with me as well), after which a date for the procedure was planned.

On either the evening or morning before the procedure takes place, you'll have to thoroughly shave your scrotum. You should also arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and be prepared to be barely-mobile for at least two days (even if you feel like you have the energy to do stuff) as your junk will feel quite sore, and the skin needs to heal and will be especially fragile during that time.
Afterwards, it gets easier and you'll gradually be able to do stuff again, but remember take it easy for about two weeks.

Im in the operating room waiting on the dr, Im in the most vulnerable fucking position lmao

They let you hold on to your phone? But yeah, I remember that was pretty much the most physically vulnerable I've ever felt. I tried to relax, though the urologist urged me to calm down as I was too tense. After a little while, they slightly tilted the operating table, in order to get more blood flowing to my head which calmed me down. That combined with the anesthetic actually got me pretty high.

Just got out and heading home, the surgery wasnt near as bad as I thought itd be. Now time for the recovery.

Well done! Curious to hear how the next few days work out.

Wish I'd seen this topic a little earlier, but better late than never.

I had my vasectomy a little over two and a half years ago at the age of 32. My reason was/is that I am very sure I don't want children. Obviously I spent a lot of time researching and thinking about it beforehand.

During the operation I felt nervous, because I felt very vulnerable at that point, though I took solace in the fact that the procedure is relatively simple. A close friend drove me home afterward.
The first few days were quite uncomfortable due to the sore feeling and the fact I had to take it very easy. Especially keeping it clean and getting (un)dressed was a chore.
After the first two or three days it gradually gets easier. The sore feeling will fade and you should still take it easy as the sack will still be healing, but it won't be as fragile as during the first few days.
After about two weeks it should be healed, and after three months you'll need to have a jizz sample analyzed to make sure you're infertile.

The most important thing is to take it easy, especially during the first two or three days. Walk as little as possible, move slowly and just stay put. You really don't want those stitches to tear. If they do, get them (professionally) restitched ASAP.

None of those. I want things to change too but its very very discouraging that apparently global warming is happening even if we got rid of every car tomorrow.

And if I say that someone will just say "oh so you're not gonna try at all? You're a piece of shit."

Didn't say that either. It's not that I don't think I can make a difference (when we all work together) but our difference does not seem like it's enough. Cars and everything else are a necessity and they're fucking the world no matter what. Every day. That's not going to change.

I agree that quite likely it is gonna get bad, no matter what we do at this point. I do believe however we can make a difference in exactly how bad it's gonna get. We do have a (limited) ability to do what we can as individuals in many ways, and can inspire others to do so as well (as opposed to forcing/shaming them). That can give a certain satisfaction and hopefully positive effect as well.

AzurexNightmare posted...

Wtf do you want me to do about it? Delete all the cars in the world?

If you can, by all means.

Anyway, obviously one person can only do so much, but a whole lot of one persons can make a bigger impact. There's a ton of stuff people do in their daily life that can affect the environment.
Making a few adjustments to one's habit can for instance save a lot of power (and sometimes money too) and result in less emission.

You can't fire me, I QUIT!

Nope. I have been a mod on another site in the past and probably could do it, but that would mean I'd have to set an example and don't get to 'speak freely' anymore, in the sense that I sometimes impulsively like to say stuff that might be moddable but not bannable (for example, associating gun nuts with penile insecurity).

Pringles are meh at best, but Doritos are flat-out disgusting, so...

The bipartisan system is a vicious cycle that likely won't end until something of war-scale proportions were to happen on the U.S. mainland (not that I'm hoping it will come to that, but I fear that's what it will take). All that can be done at this point is make the least bad choice of two bad choices. Anything else (with the current system) is just throwing away your vote and making it a little easier for the worst party to win. No matter what, either Dems or Reps win.

Still, I'd take regular turd sandwich right-wing that at least comes off as somewhat professional literally any day over batshit insane giant douche far-right-wing that proudly encourages public division and violence, and radiates an attitude that makes both the U.S. and the rest of the world hold its breath that he just might launch a nuke out of spite.

The only reason you think that is cause you don't look for good music.

Like if all you do is turn on the radio occasionally and go "gee this is bad" then sure I can see why youd think that. But realistically there's a fucking boatload of awesome bands out there and you just need to put some effort into finding stuff you like.

How much effort would that require exactly? I regularly hear contemporary music on the radio (like at work, where other people pick the channel as well) and sometimes my Google Nest plays something relatively recent.
I do think there are good contemporary songs here and there, but there aren't really a lot of recent musicians whose stuff I like overall, not like 20th-century musicians at least. I guess I could dig deeper by listening to entire compilation albums, but why would I do that if I feel like music made these days is meh at best?

Out of those (the ones I've heard of at least) Imagine Dragons is at least ok.
Imo pretty much bands/musicians who are consistently good have been extremely rare after the early 2000s.

Whats his actual username? Someone with tails in their username recently followed me too, so Im just curious

If someone with 'Tails' in the username that you've never/barely interacted with follows you, it's him.

indica posted...

So, why is he following us and who is he?

Tails is someone who has an unhealthy obsession with GameFAQs and seems to be under the impression that there's a conspirary going on against him (which is probably why he is following pretty much everyone, even users who have never interacted with him before). He also posts entire pages of ranting about it on social media as well (especially about Error). Not sure what he gets out of it.
