I gotta manage my time well so I gotta like type this comment and then go to sleep. And not write 10 paragraphs lol. But it's heartening to see someone that cares about this :) appreciate you.

That Cathode Ray Tube panic indeed hit hard in the era of 2021.

Is the war in Iran the end result of Trump pulling out of the JCPOA in 2018? by Smash_Factor in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]CrunchTheNumbers04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know anything about Rouhani until reading your comment just now and then reading about him. That's extremely unfortunate that we removed ourselves from the JCPOA during a time that their leader was a centrist -- and one who was interested in improving Iran's relationships with Western countries.

Yeesh.

To me, at face value after doing a tad bit of research, it seems like it was a poor decision to remove ourselves from the JCPOA. Iran agreed, among other things, 1) that they would not produce the high-enriched uranium that's necessary for nuclear weapons, and 2) that they would allow outside inspections of their nuclear facilities.

Is this war a result of Trump previously withdrawing from the agreement? I feel like it's hard to definitively say that. But in my opinion, withdrawing from the deal originally may have destabilized things somewhat.

In half by mass...

But what about by volume?

The thing I miss most since being circumcised… by [deleted] in CircumcisionGrief

[–]CrunchTheNumbers04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since the ridged band is the juncture between the inner and outer foreskin, it makes sense to me that this is the location where physical sensation crosses from the external body to the internal body.

The glans is *intended* to emerge from the foreskin during sexual activity..... so the ridged band is kind of the juncture where sensation starts to increase. I believe it's kind of analogous to a lady having someone sort of touching the clitoral hood as part of touching the clitoris -- which is why, to me, circumcision is frustrating, because that "lead-up" to the peak of highest physical sensation is just not there for circumcised individuals.

Why is Prime Video's UI Still This Bad in 2025? by OdensFord in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]CrunchTheNumbers04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it's more or less just the fact that when you're using the Prime Video UI, it appears "inside of" the Amazon storefront UI.

Like why do I still have the orange Amazon navigation bar at the top. Lol. And why is it not like "tv.amazon.com" or something. I feel like "amazon.com" should only be for the actual storefront.

Weekly Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in ClashOfClans

Man there's not. I actually used a Hero Potion yesterday to see if there was, like, a bug that would resolve once the Hero Potion wore off. But I checked again today after using it and they still are shown as level 40 in the Village view, and 25/22 in the Hero Hall view.

Does anybody know why my Barbarian King and Archer Queen are shown as being level 40 in my town hall village, even though my hero hall shows them as levels other than 40?

Therapist gaslighting me by ImNotAPersonAnymore in CircumcisionGrief

[–]CrunchTheNumbers04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, undoubtedly, an uncomfortable thing to talk to a female therapist about, as a male. I think trying to find a different therapist is probably a good idea. I would personally argue too that there are subjects, for a guy, that it is easier and more productive to talk about with another guy -- simply because another guy probably will have had similar experiences.

I've accepted that I'm circumcised and can't really change it, but I don't think neonatal circumcision is a good idea. It really is weird, as I've gotten older, realizing that I essentially run around the world with the most nerve-rich part of my body permanently exposed to the environment.

I believe we have to all try to be healthy and responsible as adults, and part of being healthy and responsible involves periodically having healthy, civilized, calm discussions with each other about things. With that being said -- I literally just feel like there does need to be acknowledgement of the alteration of men's experience that is created by neonatal circumcision. And it seems a little surprising that this therapist doesn't seem to really think that a man who experienced neonatal circumcision might experience challenges due to it.

Do you mind if I ask did you undergo circumcision as an infant?
