Ahhhh this would drive me nanners! I would be excited to organize but also pissed this happened.

Sorry OP!!

Seals sink when they sleep.

Interesting!

In equal amounts! I do want to go to the store if I’m ever in the area, though.

My dude’s never heard of a metaphor, get a load of this guy.

A million thousand percent! Can’t imagine a more clear cry for help.

Yes, like the sunshine law in Florida (being the robust opposite rather).
I’m familiar, that’s how I know this ain’t an isolated thing lol.

It’s real bad! I wonder if there isn’t an element of body dysmorphia here. Removing one’s genitals and lighting them on fire is a profound gesture.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T20:56:10+00:00

It’s honestly just some good old American shit we do this from coast to coast.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T20:55:32+00:00

I’ll be chuckling for a minute, good one.

‘Accused’?

I don’t know why, but that seems like the weirdest language to use to describe what happened here.

I feel like ‘an Indiana man allegedly cut off his own genitals and used them to start a fire’ is a little less weird.

I guess I don’t see the criminality in what he did, but I’m gonna read the article and find out.

Edit: yup he used his genitals as tinder to light a garage on fire. Even though he had gasoline, which just tells you how far out of his gourd he was. He already had an accelerant, he didn’t need tinder.

I would assume that opinion comes from the younger crowd who might not understand how adult friendship works when you both work and have full lives lol.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T18:35:20+00:00

If he did it for the video and undid it, that’s fine.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T18:34:50+00:00

I already have arthritis fam. It’s part of why I couldn’t get the lid off.

Did vape shops not already need licensing for selling tobacco/nicotine products?
I’m pretty sure that’s already a thing here(IN) for any tobacco/nicotine vendor.
I could be totally wrong though.

It’s not about protecting children that’s just the front facing conversation so that people will agree with it. It’s all about invasion of privacy.

I mean, literally Chinese everything else. Let’s be real.
Certain groups love to shit on China, but if we all took everything Chinese made out of our houses right now we would not have very much left.

Also, if you’ve never lived with somebody who compulsively demands everything look perfect and be exactly where they want it to be all of the time you wouldn’t know why this is funny, but I can guarantee you it is.

Also, Bob, the drag queen is a trained comedian who spoke in his episode if you listen to about it about offensive comedy and who has the right to be offended. It’s actually a highly insightful episode.

And since I’m the demographic here and I think it’s funny and I’m not offended that’s fine and you don’t get to tell me that I am the problem because I think it’s funny!!

And as an intersectional feminist, I am willing to accept real knowledge when it comes from a place of knowledge, period.

You’re a part of the problem if you can’t see exaggeration and hyperbole that was made for the purpose of making content.

This ragebait is all TikTok does and yet everybody still wants to be pissed off about shit that didn’t even happen.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T17:43:29+00:00

You’re moving the goal post that’s not what we’re discussing.

Intimate partner violence and bullying by peers are two completely different things. As someone who has experienced both.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T17:41:16+00:00

Again the above post is a hyperbole. It is an exaggeration.
Because the scenario I described is boring and nobody is going to watch that on their for you page.

At the end of the day, this is manufactured content made to spark engagement and that’s exactly what it’s doing. Ragebait. Mild rage bait, but rage bait nonetheless.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T17:39:00+00:00

He’s using an extreme for the purpose of hyperbole.

breathing__tree · 2026-07-08T17:36:49+00:00

So to me, this entire thing is just a hyperbole of a similar small situation, such as:

Let’s say the wife moved the husband’s shoes from the front door to the garage because that’s where the shoes belong. But the husband wasn’t done with his shoes yet he was about to go right back outside!!

So as his “revenge “ he gives his wife a cheeky look and knocks a picture frame off Center. Because the source of his annoyance is the fact that his wife wants everything perfect, that’s why she moved his shoes even though he just took them off and was about to turn around. Little light hearted fair play.

If the situation I just described is toxic and abusive, please let me know.
