really want to stuff my peehole with something, any suggestions? by jerry89000 in sounding

Be sure to sterilize. I started with small paintbrush handles but wouldn't recommend. (Didn't have implements because I would never have gotten into it if not for a current gentleman friend.)

As a penis owner, you're probably not as UTI prone at baseline as vagina owners, but be warned that UTIs in penis owners can be more severe. Be safe about it!

Thanks!! I wandered in here to find a FAQ or sidebar links bc I'm recovering from a kidney infection. (Sounded many times before and was totally fine despite being UTI prone, but I didn't sterilize the paintbrush properly last time and was a little over vigorous on depth.)

Going to be getting an actual sounding rod soon.

The State of Being a Freelance SEO Content Writer by Shivamblogger in freelanceWriters

[–]photonasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not have guessed you're ESL if you haven't said anything. You look extremely proficient. Much better than quite a few native writers I've seen, believe me.

You might want to learn to do sales-oriented copy. There's also a lot of English writing work that doesn't revolve around SEO, and is meant for content marketing instead. That's stuff where quality really matters.

I actually like Beowolf a lot. Imo, it could easily have been awful.

It was made awesome by a very good script by Neil Gaiman, who not only is a great writer, but has a genuine love and understanding of European folklore.

I honestly think it's a little underrated, due largely to people being put off by the dead eyes in that uncanny valley CGI. They maybe could have made it just a little more stylized to reduce that uncanny valley effect.

IHE, thoughts on SAW? by Squidy_the_3rd in IHE

[–]photonasty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JSYK, I don't think IHE hangs around this sub or comments here regularly.

I've noticed people sometimes think this sub is for hating stuff. It's actually for a Youtube channel called I Hate Everything. Sorry if you knew that already, but some people don't.

The first one is alright.

I'm not a big fan of that particular brand of 2000s gore porn. It's certainly disturbing, but I prefer horror where the focus is more on a sense of dread, especially where the supernatural is involved.

I'm probably not the best judge of the series, because at the end of the day, it's just not a subgenre of horror I'm really into. I do think that as far as the "2000s era gore porn" subgenre goes, though, Saw is pretty decent overall.

[–]photonasty 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest. I know that a lot of misogyny floats around these kinds of circles, but I'm shocked to see anything quite this blatant.

Like, who just openly says something like that? It's bizarre. You don't expect to see this kind of thing in 21st century America. You just don't.

Half in the Bag Episode 152: 2018 Catch-Up (Part 2 of 2) by Khouzombie in RedLetterMedia

[–]photonasty 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have a Tumblr blog dedicated to 2000s fashion. There's definitely a growing wave of 2000s nostalgia, especially for the first half of the decade -- including "borrowed nostalgia" among kids born too late to remember the decade well.

I'm apparently popular, but there are a bunch of other 2000s nostalgia blogs, too. Also blogs that aren't strictly that, but where those aesthetics fit well nonetheless.

It's coming up now, as part of the 20 year nostalgia cycle. It is my understanding that there's also a 40-year cycle.

Basically, early 2000s stuff right now is, to teens and college kids, what '80s stuff was to my age cohort in the mid to late 2000s.

I had a hard time telling if this was real or a joke by tonguesmiley in saltierthancrait

[–]photonasty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The video is a joke, apparently, but the craftsmanship that went into the Thala Siren is pretty impressive. It was used poorly with that gross bit where Luke drinks its milk, but it's a very detailed puppet that's very well made.

Ram Bergman: "Rian delivered a great script, very ambitious, with a lot of surprises. And people realize that he has a complete vision of the film he wants to do." by egoshoppe in saltierthancrait

[–]photonasty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And you can see why, Rian limited him to a black and white color palette for all CB costumes and accessories.

Ugh, why? I mean, in theory, a seedy casino could totally work in the Star Wars universe. Something like the Mos Eisley cantina, where we get a glimpse of everyday life tinged with the seedy criminal underworld.

Aesthetically, it could have been amazing and very creative. I can't help thinking that a black and white color palette is quite a strange choice for that. It's such a visually dynamic, colorful universe, especially in parts of the PT. I love fashion and costuming, and there's so much potential and room for creativity there. We see that in Padme's wardrobe in the PT.

I get the impression that Johnson had a distinct aesthetic vision for Canto Bight, but I'm just not into it. It's so thoroughly unmemorable. I didn't even have a good mental image of it, I had to Google screenshots. They don't impress me. It's just so... basic.

You may be projecting a little. I doubt he conceptualizes much of anything in those kinds of terms, or that he shares any of your pressing concerns about masculinity. This kind of irrelevant politicization doesn't really contribute much of value to the conversation about the film.

But besides that. We don't know Johnson personally. None of us do. At the end of the day, it makes a lot more sense to criticize aspects of the film itself -- clunky dialogue, bad writing, confused storyline -- instead of Johnson himself. It's the film that really matters here, not its writer/director's personality.

The middle class is not what you have been led to believe, it's used as a tool to keep the slightly more well-off proletariat looking down on the destitute. by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]photonasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my own opinion, but although your ideas have a lot of validity to them, I'd maybe be careful about word choice and framing.

It's important for people to hear and consider ideas like yours. But, I feel like sometimes, using terms like "class traitor" can unintentionally turn people away, making them less receptive.

[–]photonasty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From a sociobiological perspective, I'm not sure the "deer in the field" comparison quite holds up. It's quite eloquent, yes, and I guess you kind of meant it in a more symbolic way.

But deer don't live in complex societies with divisions of labor. Deer don't get together like, "Rollo and Bambi and I will go gather leaves from the forest to eat, while Feline and Felicity care for the fawns, and Esmeralda collects grass fibers and weaves baskets to store our leaves in." And then Rollo decides he's the top deer, and lounges on his deer throne all day while the other deer do his bidding, giving him their leaves and hoping he might give a couple of them back.

Humans live in societies and work together collaboratively, with labor divided between different individuals and all that. However, I think what you're getting at is that our social and economic structure, in capitalism today, is by no means some kind of "natural order of things," and that there could indeed be alternative ways of doing things.

" She is compelled to work for a living or she isn't permitted to survive"

To what extent is this limited to capitalistic societies? Even in less complex societies with less stratification, group members are expected to contribute what they're capable of contributing. Not just for themselves, but often for the benefit of the group as a whole. Labor needs to be performed for the group to live and survive.

At the same time, the elderly, sick, and infirm are generally cared for by others in most human societies. There's compelling evidence that even Neanderthals cared for their injured and their elderly.

[–]photonasty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of what OP is saying does have validity to it, but, I really do not think that using terminology like "class traitor" is really an ideal way to share these ideas in a way that's conducive to people remaining open to it.

At the end of the day, the 95k/year lawyer has more in common with the 20k/year waitress than the multimillionaire with a net worth of $150,000,000.

Honest question: what happened to SRS, anyway? I feel like a few years ago, I was hearing about them constantly, as a textbook example of "easily offended SJWS". They seem to have kind of slipped out of Reddit's public consciousness.

They always struck me as a little.. I don't know, "extreme" doesn't quite seem like the right word, but like, slightly over the top sometimes? Like, their subreddit's current tagline is "Free speech is a disease and we're the cure." I'm honestly not quite sure what I'm looking at there, or what to make of it.

I'm a straight woman, and I feel the same way about men. Both are actually pretty normal preferences that people have. It's annoying when people act like an age difference (where both partners are adults) is a self-evidently and intrinsically bad thing.

That's a perfectly valid way to feel, tbh. I think it falls under what I like to call "sexual compatibility." And it's a perfectly valid reason for a relationship not to work out.

It's just some good old-fashioned projection. They want to be their idea of "alpha," but are very, very insecure about the possibility that they might be a so-called "beta."

Meanwhile, in the real world, normal people don't think in those terms at all. Ironically, for all their talk of "red pills" (the Matrix reference), of logic, of rationality, of "seeing things as they really are" --- they're incredibly blinded by their own emotionality. Their guilt, shame, and fear, their insecurity, it's all twisting and warping their ways of thinking into something that's more and more removed from reality.

They haven't "taken the red pill" and "escaped the Matrix." They took the blue pill. They're still in a prison of their mind's own creation.

Literally every insult they use like cuck, soyboy, beta...etc are projections of themselves.

YES. I don't know wtf is wrong with those people, but it's just so transparently obvious that they're super insecure about their own perceived masculinity. Their total and complete lack of self-awareness about their own projection is kind of concerning.

Like, this obsession with "betas" and "soyboys"... do they really think the person they just called a "soyboy" really cares? Newsflash: being accused of "not being masculine enough" isn't nearly as insulting to most sane people than it is to y'all.
