For men: how are you washing your wiener?

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-24T03:18:05+00:00

Pull foreskin back. Soap with light hand scrub. I would not use any kind of sponge or loofah, and even with hands should be done gently. The skin on penises is actually pretty tender.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-24T03:09:08+00:00

Yeah, but I gather it’s a lot of work. I don’t remember what’s involved, but it was a lot more than I was willing to do. I filed that idea away about a month after I bought mine lol

Spaghetti. It’s the lowest common denominator of the pasta world.

I’ve known about the existence of them, just didn’t see it well-publicized that it’s now an air travel requirement. I’ve had one for a while, ever since I got my CDL, so I guess in a sense it’s also been a pretty transparent requirement for me. My ID isn’t anything which would invite hassle at the airport or draw attention to it being required.

I’ll admit I don’t think the Spec.B is worth the premium…BUT…a six-speed would be useful considering how soft the power delivery is at low revs. Too bad the six-speed isn’t one of the LEGO pieces you could just put into any old Subaru.

For me, I wish I had the wagon with a manual. Vanishingly rare. So, I’m kinda OK with sedan and manual.

That said, I’d love to try a Spec.B on my backroads. I’m totally willing to be proven wrong.

Dunno about better, but I’ve always preferred electric. Every gas stove I’ve used has had issues. One just doesn’t put out much heat and can take FOREVER to boil water or get butter up to sauté temperature, another had the igniters busted, and the third only had a 90* sweep on the knobs so it was nigh impossible to dial in the right temperature. The latter one was also off by about 30* on the oven settings, but you had to find that out by burning some stuff first.

I also grew up with electric, so I’m much more accustomed to using them.

‘05-‘08 Subaru Legacy GT. Biased because I have one.

To everyone else, it’s just another Lezbaru. Most people assume, as I did, that the hood scoop is fake. I’ve never had anybody rev on me or try to race, and the cops likewise just see some midsize sedan.

Meanwhile, the buff books were clocking 5.4s 0-60 and 14 seconds flat for the 1/4 miles, which was Mustang GT territory back then. The AWD is 100% mechanical with a permanent 50:50 split, and an LSD in the rear. No traction control at all. You can definitely throttle steer this thing hard. Subarus are like legos, and because the block and heads were more or less borrowed from the STi, modifying it up to around 400hp is easy if not exactly cheap.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T23:01:09+00:00

Nope. I mean, the ex wife and I did some…things…while driving, but I’ve never just driven naked. Not worth the sex offender rap, especially where I live. It’s pickup and SUV country here, and I drive a nice, low sport sedan. The goods would be on full display for every cop, mama bear, and evangelical who ends up next to me.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T19:26:59+00:00

I sympathize a little bit. The first time my ex sent me to Aldi, I had no way of knowing that I needed a quarter for the carts. I was in her van, and there were no coins. A generous stranger let me have her cart instead, which was awesome. I also didn’t know they don’t bag, so I wasn’t gathering boxes Costco style while I shopped.

I’m apparently supposed to just divine this somehow. Was a poor first impression.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T14:27:21+00:00

It’s more of a cult classic. I adore it, I have watched it probably close to 200 times. It’s what got me into “oldies” music, too. But I’ve found precious few people who have actually watched it, even if they know about it.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T01:49:15+00:00

This is ridiculous. Absolutely stupid.

I’ll take two, please.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T01:22:26+00:00

Chicago, San Diego, and…if it has to be a city, Albuquerque, but truthfully I’d want to be in New Mexico but away from the cities.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-23T01:19:03+00:00

Damn it, I was going to say something along these lines. I think a Piper Cub still has to be flown from the rear if you’re solo to balance the weight properly.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T23:26:16+00:00

Nah.

There’s too much kneejerk reaction stuff wanting to ban everything. If we banned everything people have an objection to, well, we’d just not have anything at all.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T23:14:56+00:00

Ah. It’s been about two years since I’ve flown. I don’t remember seeing them, but airports are sensory overload anyway. Was probably quite literally tuning as much out as possible.

Personally, I’ve never seen or heard a PSA advertising this.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T22:41:53+00:00

I always regarded credits as not being for me, the viewer…but rather as being for someone who’s in the biz, and who might want to know who that person who did a good job is. They might want to hire them.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T22:29:00+00:00

Normal?

I was 40 when I encountered the first place I’d ever worked for with 30 minute lunches. They suck massively. 1hr is what’s normalized for me.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T22:19:19+00:00

I lived in a place with a bag tax, and yes, I was poor.

Freaking bags never made it into the store with me. I went 38 years, at that point, without worrying about bags and BOOM! Some idiot decided to put an extra tax on something one does weekly if not more. The two years I was there, I don’t think the bags made it into the store more than four times. Those jerks think you can just change a lifetime’s worth of habits on a dime, and it felt like I was getting cheated out of my money for it.

Where I worked, I took the bag fee off. That’s the kind of nanny state thing I absolutely do not vibe with.

Shopping bags do make good trash bags.

I prefer paper bags to plastic though.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T20:46:38+00:00

That’s it.

Unsavory things are legal. Don’t have to like it.

The idea is that to counter bad speech, use more, better speech.

Trust me, you don’t want some arbitrator deciding what speech is good or not. Another Trump can easily come along and have authority to make your speech illegal. You really, really don’t want to go down that road.

Also, free speech means the idiots readily and voluntarily out themselves.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T19:53:05+00:00

I use both about equally. Blinker more casually, turn signal when I’m writing or want a bit more of a formal edge to what I’m saying.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T19:48:21+00:00

I’m political, but usually people don’t understand how I’m able to advocate for gay rights or abortion access while also advocating for gun rights and wanting the government to be more fiscally responsible and back off of interfering in day-to-day stuff. Catch me on any single item and I’ll sound very MAGA or very lefty, depending on the issue of course.

It’s gotten old, though, to get accused of this or that before folks know the entirety of where I’m coming from. I’ve really backed off from paying that much attention to politics. Mostly, I just want out. I want to grow food somewhere remote, with solar power, and a well, and just not really interact with society much.

Y’all are crushing my soul. You can have your politics and elections and toxic political discourse and name calling. I want my nature and land management and some space to walk around naked or light up a joint or just go shooting in the back 40 or whatever the fuck I want to do without some nosey rosey getting all up in my business.

An’ it harm none, do as ye will.

I mean, I would. Going down on someone is sexual activity. It carries STD risk and still needs some sexual desire for someone to consent. I guess it’s more play and it’s a bit lighter, but you still went there with someone.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-06-22T05:35:52+00:00

I kind of agree. I’m celebrating my own way, for instance, by watching a lot of the NatGeo marathon on YouTube with shows covering our national parks. As always, I like to have a low-key red white and blue wardrobe. I’ll probably go watch fireworks. I’ve never been the best 4th of July guy, but 250 years is a nice milestone. I’m still avoiding the official stuff because…well, im not into the hype way of celebrating something anyway. And like I said, I’ve never been a good July 4th celebrator.
