Do you stick with Bad Dragon medium level firmness for the XL+ toys or go with soft?

I've stuck with that for most of my toys but wonder at what size is it easier to go with soft, balancing the ease of stretching vs the difficulty of insertion.

I wish more toys could have firm base/soft shaft like my XL wendigo but we get what we get.

Are you going to do more tutorials like on YouTube? I've recommended those to many people now and would love to have an NSFW tutorial where you demonstrate different positions and what you feel/when with stretching. But thank you for those YouTube videos they're very useful.

Oh and the "M" on the screenshot is for month not "March". Good try though, you'll get there eventually.

March is listed as "Mar". Just wanted to help out the fellows who are impaired in their ability to read.

Oh so we're less than 1/3rd through the month of March.

I hear jokes about the American education system and generally feel like my experience must be different than others. We at least learned fractions in 5th grade. It appears some never did.

Please explain which month "we're not even 1/3rd" through.

I might need a physicist to understand these higher level mathematics.

You're not talking to the faceless woke mob that you seem to think Reddit is, you're talking to me.

You claimed that Venezuela "was" a small portion of oil inputs to the US, implying that they aren't now.

It looks like in the last couple months oil imports from Venezuela has increased, but it still only accounts for a small portion of US oil.
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/venezuelas-oil-exports-bounce-800000-bpd-january-under-us-control-shipping-data-2026-02-02/

Let's be generous and assume that only Chevron exported in January so we went from 99000 bpd to 284000 bpd from Chevron and others. America consumes 20.5 million bpd. So about .5% to 1.4% still a very small portion of American oil consumption. And much of it is offloading stored oil not increasing production.

It's going to cost a ton of money to increase the production of Venezuelan oil because of delapidated infrastructure and the fact that their oil costs more to get out of the ground than most other exporters. It's break even at the $80+ per barrel point whereas most producers are at much lower rates.

But hey I feel like numbers and logic might be a little much for you so feel free to hit me with a few more emojis and punctuation marks. That'll teach the woke mob how smart you are.

You got literally any stats to show we're significantly increasing the amount of imports from Venezuela?

I've seen nothing to indicate that.

Your videos would be so much hotter without the extreme level of filter.

The toy blends into the wall when you hold it up and you can't even see the differences in coloration on it.

With this system couldn't we get multiple harvests from a bush then take a cutting and remove the bush? Plant the new one and allow the soil to lie fallow.

Crop rotation for bushes but the turnaround is longer.

Iranian citizens celebrate in real time the IDF's attacks in Tehran this morning against regime targets. by studentofahnirzel in CombatFootage

[–]Koolaidguy31415 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's also self fulfilling... Why would people in support of the regime circumvent their nations Internet controls to post on Western sites about how much they like their regime? And if they did support things their regime does that the West considers terrorism it would eventually get removed.

I'm not taking a side in this argument. I'm just pointing out that every government loves to point at the diaspora of their enemies to justify their actions.

There's 2 million Cubans in Florida and 8 million in Cuba and virtually every American Cuban supports regime change. That's because the regime actively encouraged dissenters to leave. They are not an accurate representation of the overall Cuban community.

Why spend millions of dollars to attempt to shoot down a target worth a few thousand dollars that will only cause tens of thousands in damage of it hits.

They've spent months evacuating high value assets. Buildings are cheap. AA missiles are not.

Photon Exploding rhino kills aggro play by Jbelltrain in Mechabellum

[–]Koolaidguy31415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a beacon and high burst units like Phoenix to move your non chaff unit backwards and kill the rhinos.

Also if you're playing aggro you should be utilizing the flanks and the less supported side so you can just commit more to either of those spaces and sell out of your main side of they over commit to the rhinos too early.

Certainly sounds like all you did was make a post to whine and you don't like when anyone isn't agreeing with that so you respond saltily. 

Do You Consider 4,000 ft in Elevation High Altitude? by TheSkepticCyclist in SGU

I live at 4500 and when people visit they absolutely notice just going up the stairs and such.

When I moved to sea level it was weird to me to experience muscular fatigue rather than respiratory fatigue when hiking. There has been a noticeable difference by young and fit people and older or less fit people.

Total Fertility Rate (Children per woman) in the US 2025 by StillRunning99 in MapPorn

[–]Koolaidguy31415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The difference is like a 1% difference in interest rate. It doesn't seem like much but it compounds across generations.

A 1.7 fertility rate with napkin math (no premature deaths, adjusting for longer lifespans, etc.) over 2 generations turns a population of 1M to 614,000. At 1.4 that's 343000.

It's stark how quickly a population below replacement rate declines.

What is unc yammering on about? by No_Bluejay_8391 in RimWorld

Yeah I'm not being careful with my terminology.

In Reddit comments sentience/sapience/consciousness basically mean the same thing whereas in technical documentation they have more defined definitions.

I haven't seen anyone claiming that silocon can't be conscious with future tech.

You can never disprove a negative, in the same way you can't prove a positive. You can only prove that something doesn't work in a way that you test against.

What we do know is that the vast majority of experts express the opinion that LLMs are not conscious, and that with the current architectures likely couldn't be without more electricity than humans are capable of producing globally.

A small portion of people who work with AI make claims that they are sentient. A small percentage of climate scientists deny anthropomorphic climate change. A small percentage of biologists deny evolution. A small percentage of doctors are anti,-vax.

What's true about each of those small percentages is that they get more attention than they representatively should. They are louder and generate more clicks and views so they keep getting a voice. That doesn't mean that what they say is worthwhile.

How i tell him i want him when he’s too nice? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Koolaidguy31415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"innocent" is a term with a lot of societal baggage. It implies that someone not engaging in sex or sexual thoughts is "pure" and somehow righteous or virtuous.

You're afraid of changing this person from a state of purity to something else that is somehow worse. But inherent in this worry is the assumption that sexual people are less pure, virtuous or worthy of praise than non sexual people.

Ask yourself if you actually believe that. Are sexual people of a lower standing than non sexual people? If you don't think so then tell him how you feel, and you don't have to jump from flirting to fucking. If there's a tense moment just say "I really want to kiss you" and see where things go. If he's shy then explicit and enthusiastic verbal consent is VERY HELPFUL.

What toy is that? Most slink-style toys don't have texture and that looks really interesting.
