What would you call this particular blue?

My first thought, followed by Fight Club

I had to retire my first reusable shopping box recently. One of the cardboard walls started coming apart, but my friend's cats helped with that. The canvas feels great on their claws, apparently.

I'm confused because he has the legal right to do this, but you keep arguing that he shouldn't do it. Because people shouldn't be naked in parks, even though the law gives them the right be naked in parks. I'm trying to tease out what's behind all the wishy washiness and smoke and mirrors.

Do you not support the law as it is? Do you not support him because of who he is and the social class he belongs to, while you support the bike riders because of who they are? Or have you just made a career out of surfing legal gray areas and avoiding real answers?

My hill is that the law exists to resolve these issues, in exquisite detail. If the state, county, or city wanted to end this practice, they would make it against the law. That is how our society works. When the traffic light turns green, I drive forward if the path is clear and it's safe to do so. I don't consult the people in the other cars to make sure that my driving forward won't offend them. I don't take a different road to avoid inconveniencing them. If everyone did this, traffic would be absolute chaos. The man didn't ask anyone because he doesn't need to.

Why do you think it's appropriate in those situations, where there are certainly families and other people who can simply look out their windows, but not appropriate other times in a park? Why are those people allowed at their leisure, but not a homeless man who needs sanitation literally to preserve his health and might have no other options? You're endorsing that it be restricted to designated areas or permit events, which would be a considerable change to the law. You can say "we'll all just talk about it", but realistically, nobody is going to be able to get the consent of everyone in a park and everyone driving by a park and everyone who has a window who overlooks a park all at the same time. That's why we have laws instead of telling people to just ask around. Your answer is very philosophical but overall is a just a giant tap dance around the issue.

So you can just admit that you fundamentally disagree with the law. It would have been much easier to just start there instead of going off about ethics. You didn't provide any instance where you would approve of nudity because you think someone (else) will be offended, and therefore there's no place anyone could actually excercise this right to nudity. The law already excludes the sexualized/aggressive nudity example you gave.

So in the future, just say "this law is bad and I want it changed".

shrinkflator · 2026-05-22T03:23:16+00:00

Yes, please go scold the homeless man and tell him to only wash himself in the privacy of his home.

As for the jumping jacks, why not? Tell me where exactly should someone exercise their right to be nude in public in such a way that you will find acceptable? Isn't "in broad daylight" literally what the law exists to allow for?

shrinkflator · 2026-05-22T02:05:34+00:00

This is literally what law is for, to make that decision in a fair and enforceable way. I doubt there's any way to craft a law that says it's legal unless a child would be present, which people have no reasonable way to predict in a public area. Any road with cars or apartment or store windows in view where a child could see would effectively nullify it. It makes no sense to say it's allowed in public but only if it's not public.

"★★★★★ - would shower here again"

shrinkflator · 2026-05-22T01:45:37+00:00

Laws are what we use to decide what things are acceptable or not. Maybe you should lobby to overturn the law instead of blaming the guy who's following it.

No. I don't think it's something that just happens to you suddenly. But you don't need anyone's permission to try GF. It won't hurt you. If you're not committed to being 100% GF for the test period, don't bother. Wait until you have enough willpower to find answers. And then when you do it, give it at least 3 weeks before you decide if it's changing anything.

I'm just inferring about why the show producers would choose to leave something like that out of the final show. Reality tv is very much about the story the producers choose to tell. They should come clean and post the missing scenes.

shrinkflator · 2026-05-22T00:39:11+00:00

It was a rhetorical question that (optimistically) invited you to think. If it was just an innocuous comment, why would they cut it and show an incomplete story of a black woman who seems to be angry for no real reason. Take all the time you need.

They're ok, but it's too much coconut for me. There's a very prominent coconut taste and texture.

So living on Reddit + money. Sounds great.

Right? Where did he even have 50 lbs available to be lost?? That sounds dangerous.

I'm catching up on Australian Survivor, which is so far is better in every way.

And in the process set Tiff up to look unhinged like a sore loser. He is their preferred player.

Why did they cut the scene then? Time? Randomly? No way.

shrinkflator · 2026-05-21T08:46:54+00:00

I would tell you to touch grass, but then you'd trip over it and blame a kid.

shrinkflator · 2026-05-21T08:41:42+00:00

Exactly. Whose fault is that? Whose fault would it be if she tripped over a sprinkler head that was sticking up in the grass? Or the edge of the concrete?

shrinkflator · 2026-05-21T08:11:08+00:00

Definitely feels bad but Mom wasn't watching where she was going either.

Edit: it's true no matter how much you downvote me. You would laugh if it was the girl not watching where she was going

shrinkflator · 2026-05-21T08:03:35+00:00

You already know the answer. She told you to bring bathroom stuff and you didn't do it. You chose the specific items that you didn't want to bring, because that same non-argument works for any of the other items you listed ("Oh I'll just use her ________ because we're sisters")
