We should remove eyelids at birth, blinking insults my God because it implies you're not looking at God and trying to avoid him and also eyelids are filthy and get gunk and make the eyeball unclean and also I like how it looks and my dad had his eyelids removed and he got all the ladies and my mom thought it was hot

Won't somebody please think of the eyelid cancer rates!

Rest in power Michael, we lost you too soon.

Probably while camping for like 2 weeks? Would still have been swimming every day in the lake though.

uhh yeah because thats why people get elective hysterectomies, sure

lmao

yes people should get medically necessary procedures done. who would argue that they shouldn't?

if someone chooses to because they want to, why is that not the best outcome? (assuming the procedure is done in any scenario)

like why would you rather someone need a circumcision because of a medical issue than choosing to because they want to?

again
you have a weird af take on cosmetic procedures

Okay, if you still don't get it after this I'm just going to block you because this is getting insane.

I'm of the opinion that it's almost never a good idea to make permanent modifications to a persons body unless you actually need to, because it's medically necessary. If it is medically necessary then it's a good idea to remove that body part because the alternative presumably is a whole lot worse, such as dying.

If somebody wants a cosmetic procedure done to them that doesn't suddenly mean it's a good idea to actually do it, there's plenty of negative outcomes that can and do come from things like cosmetic surgery (such as what happened to your cousin with their botched circumcision). Just because a person wants a procedure done doesn't mean it's a good idea. Now sure, say somebody has a disfigurement you can make the argument that it would be a sufficient improvement to their quality of life to justify the risks but that's a minority of cosmetic surgeries that are done.

So, do you understand my fucking plain and obvious point or should I just block you to save me from seeing your inability to understand a basic point I'm making?

You must be right, all those meat pies that had more than just meat inside them I had while I was literally living in the UK must have been in my imagination.

i dont know why
"i think its unfortunate to have a condition that requires medical treatment" is a hard concept to grasp

and your hang up about cosmetic procedures is super fuckin weird bro

Confirmed you don't get my point.

I'm not saying it's great that somebody needs to get a medically necessary thing done to them, I'm saying if you need to get a hysterectomy in order to save your life then it's a good idea to get a fucking hysterectomy.

Meanwhile if somebody wants to get a hysterectomy in order to lose a couple pounds I'd argue that's probably not a great fucking idea.

ArsGoetia posted...

my wife had a medically necessary hysterectomy
now we can't have more kids and she says it makes her feel like less of a woman
it was an emergency surgery and she has PTSD about it
you think thats better than electively taking one when you choose to and are ready?

yeah no lol

oh actually heres a good one
my cousin's kid had a botched circumcision, leading them to have to redo it when he got older because it was causing him excruciating pain whenever he got an erection
that's better than being an adult and saying you want to get circumcised for cosmetic reasons? lol

So you're saying that it would have been a better idea for your wife to have a hysterectomy back before it was medically necessary? Because if not I don't get why you have a problem with what I'm saying.

I'm thinking you are the one who isn't getting the point I'm making, especially with your bringing up your cousins botched circumcision.

I'm saying don't fucking remove parts of peoples bodies unless it's medically necessary. If somebody wants to modify their own body for cosmetic reasons? I'd argue they can but I wouldn't call it a good idea. Medically necessary procedures though? Yeah, it's a good idea to get a medically necessary procedure done to yourself.

Any time you're removing a body part the best reason to remove it is because there's a medically necessary to. Wanting to remove a body part for cosmetic reasons is fine and all I guess if you want to do such a permanent modification to your body but it's certainly not a good reason to do it.

American cheese is my goto cheese for burgers.

Grilled cheese on the other hand? I'll often use it but other cheeses are great too so it's not such an obvious winner in that situation.

Or just use metric for everything because it's easy and intuitive?

Imperial is not objectively better than Metric in any way, anybody who says so only does so because it's just what they're used to.

ArsGoetia posted...

why would having a medical issue that necessitated getting part of your dick cut off be better than doing it because you want to
pretty sure aint nobody wants dick cancer

Show me literally anybody who chose to get circumcised in order to reduce their odds of getting dick cancer. Remember there's no great dick cancer epidemic going on in the world.

But the only thing I even mentioned there that had potato is the fish and chips. Also some meat pies have potato but plenty of them don't.

Rice, chopped up chicken thighs cooked in hot sauce (something that goes good with chicken, like a peri peri hot sauce). Throw in whatever frozen veggies I have on hand.

It's not so much a "cheap" meal that I eat when trying to save money but more a meal that happens to be cheap that I think is pretty damn yummy.

Say what you want about British food, their meat pies are fucking delicious but you'd never know it just by looking at them. Also Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding? Holy crap is it good.

They also make great sausages, one of my favourite kinds of sausage are Cumberland Sausages.

Oh and don't get me started on Melton Mowbray pork pie, I thought it was going to be disgusting the first time I had one but they're fantastic.

The one thing I didn't get around to trying that I really wanted to while I was living in London was a good Fish and Chips so I can't really comment about how much better or worse it is compared to the Midwest.

id say the best time to remove part of a persons penis is when they say
"hey doc i want part of my penis removed"
anything else is unfortunate

I'd typically consider that the 2nd best time to permanently remove a part of a persons body. I still think medically necessary removal trumps wanting it removed because they just want it removed. Note, if an adult wants to get circumcised my opinion on that is "Sure, go ahead, it's your dick."

ChatGPT has sped up by a significant margin how quickly I can write scripts at work. As an example, no more racking my brain to throw together a stupidly long and complicated egrep, I just throw a bunch of greps into chatgpt and ask it to make it an egrep, BAM done.

Toonstrack posted...

Scientifically yeah.

I'd say scientifically the best time to permanently remove a part of a persons body is when it's medically necessary.

Toonstrack posted...

After the best, least painful time to do it has passed?

So its ok with the young kid says they want to be circumcised? I actually don't find that disagreeable

So the best time to permanently remove a part of a persons body is when they cannot consent to it. And the main reason to remove this part of their body is to make the childs dick more appealing to Darkinsanity1? Oh and also I suppose so the parents don't need to teach their kid how to wash their dick properly?

I'd probably argue that if it's not medically necessary? Best wait until the person can make the decision for themselves. Would most guys make the decision themselves to get circumcised? I doubt it, but I also don't see how that's a problem.

Darkinsanity1 posted...

Yeah okay, done responding to that nonsense. I said my reasoning, as a gay guy I prefer the way cirumcised dicks look and I think circumcision should stay.

Nonsense? You're the one creeping people the fuck out.

Darkinsanity1 posted...

My reasoning is more based upon the fact that I like the way circumcised penis looks and "woke-ism" a colloquial term if you will, is trying to change it and I dislike it and the reasoning behind it. Simple as that. I find foreskin unattractive.

Why exactly do you want parents to make their children's dicks more visually appealing to you?

The benefits seem minimal and even though complications are rare they can be devastating, why is this even something that we do in the first place?

Because John Harvey Kellogg (If you're looking at that last name, yes, not a coincidence) thought it would stop boys from masturbating.

It's his dad's fault, he got the covid vaccine and was viral shedding his spike proteins all over the place and they infected his son who was then activated by Dark Brandon and the Covid Crew to kill his father in order to make it look like anti-vaxxers are just lunatics.

Think sheeple! Do your own research!

That's not what that word means. You don't "amputate" the foreskin, you excise it. I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to make it sound more dramatic than it really is. It's seriously not a big deal.

"I'm going to focus on this one word because the rest of the bullshit I'm spouting is indefensible and I think a semantic argument is my only hope of not being further ridiculed for my absolutely insane stance that circumcision is the same as vaccination."

Gobstoppers12 posted...

You're securing protection against future health issues in both cases. It's really not that radical of a stance. It's surprising to me that some people are so resistant to the fact that circumcision is a common and well-understood preventative medical procedure that has hygiene and health benefits.

You know what works infinitely better than circumcision for stopping the spread of STIs? A fucking condom.

Suggesting amputation as a preventative measure as being akin to a vaccine is pure idiocy, it's among the most stupid things I've ever seen on this board and that's saying something.

We don't remove tonsils to prevent future complications, we only do so once it's medically necessary.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Should we wait until people are old enough to decide if they want to be vaccinated, too?

This has got to be just about the most idiotic stance I've ever seen on this subject. Comparing circumcision to vaccination is absolutely moronic.

Do overworlds not kount if there's no random encounters or something, or does Chrono Trigger have something I'm forgetting?

When the overworld is basically just a map that you can only move along a line and cannot deviate from the line? I'd argue it does not count. It's essentially exactly the same as in BoF IV just with a different visual aesthetic.

Chrono Trigger has a far more robust world map than Breath of Fire III.

BroodRyu posted...

Or use Reis insane speed on speed formation to get Ryu and another character a free EX turn. There. No waste.

I argue there's little reason to need that speed in the game, fun bit about all this focus on Rei is that it's subjective so I don't know why people are going so hard on it.

If I had to choose between Rei and the Fou Lu plotline existing in the series? I'd without a second doubt yeet Rei into oblivion. I also feel Teepo was completely wasted in BoF III, they could have done so much more with him.

You kall a literal map of the world with dots on it better than an actual overworld?

BoF 3 was basically that as well already, BoF 2 was the last time the series had an actual overworld.

This, we were supposed to all drop dead like a year or two ago.

I just had it for the first time today, I'm not sure if I'd say it's their worst sandwich but it's pretty bad.

I remember this coffee shop I used to go to like 20 years ago, it had a sandwich that was almost exactly like the McRib, when I took a bite of the McRib I was expecting the same texture and taste of that old sandwich, instead it was super bland, the pickles had no snap and it was a weird mushy texture but at the same time tougher than I expected.

That sandwich which was also highly processed pork product that I had 20 years ago was far superior, it had flavour, it had some texture, the pickles weren't garbage.

Yeah, she's a generic-looking white girl, basically. I've seen videos of Tom Cruise in a mild disguise talking with people who didn't recognize him. Saw one of Henry Cavill in a Superman shirt in Times Square not getting recognized.

The thing is, nobody EXPECTS to see a famous person at an airport so they get super easily overlooked. They fly shit like first class all the time and nobody tends to notice.

Of course. That's why major singers never fly on private plans and just wear glasses and a moustache while flying coach and doing all their work on a laptop.

Pretty sure I saw Elton John in a wig the other day.

Look, it doesn't take wigs or bullshit, it's usually as easy as dressing in normal ass clothes and not wearing makeup. The idea that famous people only fly private is just false. I mean believe it if you want but I'll continue to live in reality personally.
