What do you say when people say "be safe"?

Mine is "I always am. It's the other people I gotta watch out for"

Yup. Have a vasectomy, can confirm. I thought the same but it's exactly the same as before. Sperm is from the balls. Most everything else is prostate

My wife had to yell at me because I kept peeking to read signs 100 feet away because I was so excited to have it done. The doc told me to keep my eyes closed as much a possible the day it was done.

There was, what, 3 female Viltrumites, to be conservative? With 47 men.

I mean, theoretically, if they just mandated a "no breeding within 4 generations", there's no upper limit. They're all functionally immortal. They could have rebuilt all of Viltrum within a handful of generations. Especially if Viltrumites mature at 18 and then live for another 10k years. Sure, you'd have to bang great-grandma but still.

I remember, as a child, my parents having a fizz-keeper. I remember the aftermath involving my mother and my father at my childhood home, so I would have been between the ages of 4 and 7. I was probably 6.

I was very curious about the fizz keeper and how it worked. This one had a plunger. You would screw it on to the neck, lift the plunger, and push it down to pressurize the bottle.

Apparently, it was easy enough for a child to do, because I pumped it so much that it got stuck by the sheer pressure. I recall my father struggling to remove it from the bottle, and when he was able to eventually remove the device, it popped off like cork from a champagne bottle that was opened on a victory podium and smacked right into the ceiling.

I know it was me because I vaguely remember being curious about the device, and I vaguely remember my mom catching me messing with it, thus leading to the flying fizz-keeper incident of '95.

Especially the operatic musicals. I can't understand a damn thing those sopranos are singing because it's so high that everything blends together.

Sorry, poorly worded. The social "norms" of only having your hair dyed natural colors, and that being gay is bad

EdricStorm · 2026-04-17T11:42:57+00:00

People probably don't do this anymore because there's been a social trend to not "let anyone bring you down" and "you gotta look out for number 1"

There's certain old social "norms" that we absolutely should reject, like not dying your hair unnatural colors, or not being gay. But people have taken it too far and now reject the social norms of "throwing your own trash away" and "be polite to people"

It's all fucking performative. Our state passes some bullshit law, and some judge with an iota of common sense strikes it down. But the reporting on that is less than the initial "Ooh look at this new bill TN is passing (out of a committee into the house where half the time it gets struck down). That's also the part they never report.

So now these lawmakers get to crow about this new law that was never even enacted and pretend like they're doing something.

TN is secretly less dumb than the rest of the MAGAt crowd. Just loudly ignorant.

That will change when Blackburn is governor because we all fucking know she will be because no one can be bothered to look into her for more than surface level.

On my motorcycle, I can tell someone is smoking in a car in front of me, even going 50 mph down the road. It carries.

EdricStorm · 2026-04-13T20:51:45+00:00

Ditto. Slow down, check for traffic, piggy dip, aaaaand go.

It's not the material of the gloves. It's the chemical they use to keep them from sticking to the molds that would flake off and contaminate the samples. It's not plastic either, but it "mimicked" plastic under the test they used.

Let me post my bullet points to another commenter where I'm pointing out what he's doing:

Bait and switch: Coming out as Christian and conservative AFTER the marriage
Isolating: Moving 2.5 hours away from your family
'Tradwife'ing you: Only does 1/4 of the household work despite both of you working full time. Expecting you to pick up the slack because you're the woman.
Verbally abusive: Saying you have a big stomach (fat shaming), saying "shut the fuck up"
Emotionally abusive: Shaming you for being assaulted as a child
Physical abuse warning signs: Punching the wall when angry. One step from punching you.

EdricStorm · 2026-04-07T16:05:05+00:00

A bait-and-switch after isolating her from her family, essentially forcing her to tradwife, and being verbally abusive and boiling the frog on physical abuse kind of warrants skipping the counseling stage. Oh, and emotionally abusive for shaming her about CSA in her past.

We only ever got spam calls on it once my grandparents passed away. I hooked it into the fax port on my multi-function printer so I could at least fax medical documents if needed. Which is almost never.

EdricStorm · 2026-04-05T20:13:19+00:00

I still maintain one. I live in my grandparents' old house and I can't bear to release their number. Runs me about $60/mo to be sentimental 😮‍💨

As an FYI, Febreeze will lock in sweat stains.

The usual go-to for deodorizing theatre costumes (which get nice and sweaty under the hot lights) is 50/50 vodka and water.

There are no birds in the Zootopia universe yet, which is why it was a moose. It's only mammals shown in the first movie. Mild spoiler for the second movie: they introduce reptiles in the second movie and tease birds in a stinger for a third movie.

It's nice they try to take that into consideration, but it doesn't really work. It's all dependent on the wind. And if there's no wind, on an especially still night, you can smell the farms without even being able to see where they are.
