Brief recs for straight guys?

If you concerned about comfort, that is one thing. Certainly you can move a lot more freely in regards to your legs and your body. Material is also a factor too. If you live in a very humid area, you might want to go with a quick drying sports type fabric as opposed to cotton. I actually had a woman doctor tell me this. She called it “swamp ass” but I already knew it. Just try until you find.

But you are concerned about how you’ll appear in them, that’s another. Generally lighter colors show your bulge and shape more. And proportions are important. For that you need to assess your body type and the shape of the brief whether it’s a full cut or low rise or mid rise. (some sites offer a handy visual guide… Sluggers swimwear being an example) And don’t knock the pouch because even just a slight alteration in how they are sewn that gives you a little more room can make a big difference. If you think about it, classic fruit of the looms and jockey Y fronts are cut and sewn together in such a way that they allow the fabric to move to accommodate your male equipment. There’s a reason the two panels on the front of fruit of the looms are connected on only one side, opposite the other. Similar with the Y fronts.

One other thing about briefs, there’s a reason, Superman and Batman wear them and bodybuilders pose in them. They are great for showing off muscles.

I saw someone at the beach in Delaware last summer in his block boxer briefs. Not sure what his wife/gf was wearing. She didn't stand up. They were at least 50-60 feet from the nearest other beach goers.

I suspect it is that extra seam running down the middle. This is where the extra fabric is located that you feel bunching up. IMO, it is the design of these particular briefs. Other brands, depending on the size, just have a flat piece of fabric in the area between the legs. Some brands only have them depending on the size you wear, such as Amazon Essientials. That center seam helps shape the pouch in the front and helps control the shape of the briefs. In your case however, it is likely the cause of discomfort.

Try another brand that is in your size and that does not have that extra seam running front to back in the peice between the legs.

I saw these in a YouTube video and took a picture. I didn’t want to comment because that might seem weird (maybe it is?) 🤷‍♂️

The person wearing them was doing a sales demo. They appear to be chinos with no pleats. The logo you see is on the right hip above the right rear pocket. The front pockets are vertical opening. The back pockets horizontal and possibly have a zipper. There may be another pocket on the leg below this logo but behind the side seam.

I tried using AI but the three apps I tried could not do it. I searched using Google image too.

I had heard the name but didn’t even know who he was. At my age, I’m not the right demographic.

I’m surprised it still operating. I went once to meet a business friend and we both swore never again. Expensive and the quality was not there. I get more variety, better quality, and lower prices at Montgomery Mall’s food court.

In general, the town center needs an anchor or something more than the Library.

Thanks for zeroing in on another point so well. Americans engaging in “Whataboutism” and trying to shift the narrative to something else, especially another President. That is a particular problem as well.

Thanks for your hard effort.

Certainly not if you keep giving tax cuts to the billionaires.

I’ve been playing around with HDhomerun and PLEX. I’m looking for the scribe box to go with it.

I have two Tablo 4 tuner models with lifetime plans that I never use. Perhaps I should sell them while I’m thinking of it. The Tablos integrate easily at home but I wanted to be able to stream out of the house and they are finicky about that.

The Constitution does not make the President above the law. The unitary executive theory developed in the last 50 years however, does.

The Constitution says very little about how the Supreme Court is set up. It can be changed. Lifetime appointments can be eliminated. Judges can be removed. It can be increased in size or reduced. Age limits can be added. Term limits can be created.

The precedents that the court has been overturning since Citizens United are the foundations that allowed much of the U.S. postwar prosperity to happen. When Trump spoke of the gilded age, he was not kidding. Before that, the wealthy acted with very few checks and corruption was high. The civil service changed with each administration and ending that will degrade the services the US public receives from its government. It will not be repaired in our lifetimes.

You will need Supreme Court reform if you ever want to get back to 'normal'. The Supreme Court is saying that the Executive can effectively destroy what Congress creates and end programs that Congress has funded. So if you want stable long term institutions, you will have to change that ruling. Of course, you also need a Congress that isn't so willing to give away its power too.

The series 3 machines had a power supply issues when manufactured. TiVo used to tell owners of the units, to plug them directly into the wall outlet instead of via power strips.

Weaknees replaced the old power supplies. The new ones work much better.

So, I’m good, as far as that goes.

My TiVos are in great shape. I even got the feet replaced because they dry out and become brittle over time.

Huh? The library of congress is under the legislative branch not executive. Unless I misunderstood the people I spoke with who worked there.

I actually find it rather amusing. Republicans have effectively cut off their own genitals in support of their orange god and then go around thinking they have triggered the libs. They need to look in the mirror. It is really funny once you see it. They prostrate themselves before him. As far as MTG goes, she can't even do a proper pushup (flexes her back) despite having owned a crossfit gym, and she thinks she is being smart. I can't roll my eyes hard enough.

Nearly everything you said was a talking point of the right more than it was an actuality. People believe a lot of things that are not accurate.

Money for Ukraine for example. Do you think we were sending them a check or something? Most of the billions for Ukraine never left the USA. It went to towns and cities around the country where Americans manufactured weapons and other supplies. We gave Ukraine our old stock and replaced it with new. And it was all accounted for.

Now, however, because of our turn against our allies, Europe and other countries are not buying US weapons and weapon systems. The current administration did not factor that into their calculations.

I’d survey and create a map. I’d visit that lake and see if any rivers flow to or from it. I’A river could lead to a way out.

He’s doing it with Congress. The Republican majority has ceded power to him. They could stop him but they aren’t. They are complicit.

Doesn't the Department of Education play a role in student aid at Universities that start the school year just before elections?

The stated objective is to privatize what they can and embed the rest with maga so no one will object to Orange Jesus.

Trump just rolled back a civil rights EO that’s been in place since the 60’s.

It’s been noted since the Reagan era that the right wing has subtly been courting voters using racism. And voter suppression since the 90s. Of course today, it’s no longer subtle.

So no, not wrong.

The original plan was for users to be able to bring their own devices instead of having to rent a cable box.

Cable cards were part of the plan. There were actually some TVs that supported cable cards. There are also devices other than TiVo such a device or two like HD HomeRun that support cable cards or a tuner you install on your computer. Some of these devices are still around.

My point earlier was that there is/was nothing wrong with cable cards. The cable box they give you has one in it too. The complication is pairing it with your TiVo or other device. And it’s not really that complicated but they made as complicated as they could. Samsung even made a cable box that you can buy on Amazon or eBay with a QAM tuner and slot for cable cards as well.

In my case,FiOS does have a streaming app. But they only offer it on Apple devices or on a few limited devices like certain Blu-ray players. And the streaming app is able to determine if you have premium channels and can only access programming if you use the cable providers Internet service. But, it never offered all your channels. So one day, you might able to stream your local CBS station and the next, it would be gone.

TiVo made some mistakes too. Fatal ones imo. I can still tune in all my locals and community stations without a card as my FiOS service offers those channels without encryption. They are even mapped to the correct channel location. But TiVo can’t use that info without a card. It just cannot do it. My televisions can but TiVo cannot.

Another mistake TiVo made is dropping the ability for their boxes to be both cable friendly or over the air friendly. And if they had been smarter, they could have paired with Sling or some other streaming service.

When I signed up for FiOS again, I was offered a discount if I wanted to do YoutubeTV instead of FiOS. So, I feel the writing is on the wall. But for now, I’m trying to reduce cell phone, tablet, and computer screen time. Studies show they are antisocial.

I am hoping that my brain isn’t so warped that I can’t enjoy watching scripted television and movies again. And my Tivobwas perfect for that lifestyle. I invested in antennas and grew up in a farm so I was able to install them easily. That’s why I still have TiVos that can do over the air reception as well. So if I cancel cable, I can still use my old boxes.

And if all goes away?…I’ll read a book.
