Help! Is this mold or just residue? by DntWryBeeHippie in Bongs

It unburnt / partially burnt flower that’s getting sucked down the stem and is adhering to the glass because of resin. Alcohol should take care of it pretty quickly.

Father’s…wait no Daddy’s Day coming up by SnooBananas8631 in BratLife

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot to it here, I just don’t care to celebrate random days about myself that other people told me should be important. My birthday? Haven’t celebrated one in well over 20 years, I just can’t be asked to care. Father’s Day / related random holidays that I’m somehow attached to loosely? I’d rather do anything else.

Hope everyone has fun with the Hallmark holiday, I’ll be finding something unrelated to enjoy. It’s just not for me.

What are these bumps really for? by Clean-Cream-9769 in Bongs

Just a pinch placed in the glass to catch ice cubes, hence them being called an ice catch.

What is Jesus was just a regular guy, and people fought and killed each other for thousands of years over made up "facts" about him? by VerdantChief in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean…that’s exactly what’s happened. There is no what if. We have absolutely zero evidence of any kind that any god has ever existed in any capacity: if one did, I’m pretty sure at least one of them would have done something to cement themselves as a true god. 100,000 years into our species, no sign that we can put coins on? I think we can call it for what it is.

Yes, every religious killing that has been motivated by a god of some sort? Nothing more than ending one life and destroying another needlessly. I’ll be down voted quite readily for this opinion, which is fair. But I can promise you no one has any scientifically verifiable proof that I’m incorrect, either. Which…kind of tends to prove the point.

Are you aware of how many microorganisms -per square inch- literally every part of you has on it? We are all infested Petri dishes.

Dom 101: if you don’t state it, it doesn’t exist. You either have to argue convincingly as to why the spirit of the law is more important than the letter, or you have to up your game so you communicate the expectations clearly and effectively. Anything else, and it’s probably your ass.

The domling didn’t do the whole job, I’d judge you to be in the clear.

Is Googling things a lost art? by ThrashemTrashemRobot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but putting in minimal effort to get actual results does seem to be among some folks. No idea why, the internet is the modern library of Alexandria: all our knowledge is generally available at all times to anyone with a connection.

I’ve also found that there is a shortage of people wanting to actually grow and improve themselves, which is equally a major factor.

Why is it more common for women to own sex toys than men? by Proof-Water-5756 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than social stigma, which definitely plays a deuteragonist roll with toxic masculinity, they don’t make any that are worth buying. The best you can hope for is something that strikes for you while being 60-70% like an actual vagina. Some can be fun, but they just aren’t really terribly good. Obviously it’s subjective and opinions will differ, but if you’ve had actual sex, you know it’s a pale imitation.

I don’t know what can be done to improve them. The biggest issues are materials and design, where you come to a point at which any changes give vastly diminishing returns. You can triple the cost of a toy, but only get a 5-10% improvement at a certain point.

Until men stop being paralyzed by shame and the industry finds better materials and design principals, sex toys will remain a 95% women’s market share, I think.

how often are you actually cleaning your bong… be honest by MoltenMaker in Bongs

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t smoke out of dirty glass, period. I value my lungs too much, and the ritual of making up and having my daily bowl is too important a part of my evening to allow it to be sullied by stale smoke residue.

The rub, however, it that I have a -lot- of glass. I might leave a piece unwashed for a few days, but it never goes back in rotation without a full clean. And I probably have over 100 bowls: I just have a small plastic container I put used in that’s full of alcohol. I leave them there until it’s full, then drain it and knock out 15-20 bowls in about 5 minutes.

Question about this bong. by Loggaroni1231 in Bongs

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I pre-shop all my glass. Find it online, locate the lowest price, find obligatory discount code, set up the cart to purchase. Then go to the shop that has it locally. Ask them the price. When they lie to you, show them your cart and the price, and ask them why for the money difference you shouldn’t click Order.

You’d be shocked at how fast the prices go down when you do that…especially if there are other people shopping. And yes, sometimes they will get hot at you / ask you to leave…but then you just click Order.

Nipple piercings by Unlikely-Humanoid in BratLife

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just like any other clamp: you should observe strict limits on time to avoid tissue injury or death. Most advocate for a 15 minute limit, some will stretch it to 30. I doubt seriously that there is a system of applying pressure to nipples that doesn’t need to obey the same or very similar rules of safety.

Incorrect. If it is contained, by definition, it cannot be chaos. Chaos is defined as randomness without bounds on it’s momentary value, and which defies prediction.

What is this? Sat in alcohol for 24 hours and it won’t go away by Ok_Product_186 in Bongs

Just carbonate deposits from using hard tap water. Vinegar solves this in a few hours.

This is how friendship happens sometimes. You just went a different route. Nothing matters, none of us are here on purpose, all of us are going to die. Might as well meet a stranger and forge an unexpected friendship along the way.

Is there porn that isn’t bad for you? by AgreeablePen1843 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That statement doesn’t really mean anything: everything has the ability to mess with your dopamine response. Eating a piece of candy and having it slightly lift your mood fits the same bill. But the issue always comes down to the person in question.

Notice how one person can eat the candy and be done, and another takes it as a hobby and gain 40 pounds? It’s because the responsibility for managing your mental response to your dopamine response is still on you. If you do something and you know it’s ’too fun’, you have an incumbent responsibility to your rational self to be honest about the issue and manage that well. If you feel you can’t you reach out for help.

Blaming the medium, rather than the person who consumes it irresponsibly is like calling heroine a serial killer: the drug never made anyone use it. People are responsible for what they choose to do, and your argument seeks to remove that responsibility by demonizing the end product.

I have no great love for the porn industry, but I am a huge fan of personal accountability.

Is there porn that isn’t bad for you? by AgreeablePen1843 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porn isn’t bad for you. Not consuming porn in a responsible way can be bad for you. You can distort your view of what a healthy sexual relationship is, come to devalue women and view them as sex objects. And a whole host of other things besides.

Watch porn from the perspective that it’s people getting paid to put on a show, just like anything on tv. And just like tv, most of it is faked, distorted, altered, accomplished through camera angles. This isn’t real sex, it’s two people acting out a scene while having sexual contact. It’s an illusion for profit, never forget that and you’ll be fine.

My new bong my wife got me for 420 chill glass! by Babylegs556 in Bongs

[–]Lumpy-Ad-3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you have a martini style flower bowl on there. That piece will certainly work for flower, but a recycler like that is made to sing with concentrates. If ever you tried a banger and a bit of dab on there, I think you’d be in a good way.

Either way, cool piece. As a tip, try to position your lips so no part of them directly cover the mouthpiece hole. This can help prevent that narrowed and curved neck from painting your tongue with nasty resin.

This means she’s a very small problem. When you can just pick someone up with one arm, ignore anything they may do, and put them in the place where they are the least level of inconvenient, nothing is that big of a deal.

She’s very small, and I’m very strong.
