I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is.

This right here.
I’ve recently been seeing a lot more of what I’ve heard called Blue Anon. I am seeing it get argued against. Shit could get real ugly if it takes hold.
I’m having to repeatedly remind my family to check sources, think critically, and not jump to conclusions.
It’s imperative we remain skeptical and analytical.

I’ve always heard: Respect is given, not earned. Trust is earned and easy to lose. Don’t confuse politeness with respect.

Alcove in blue. It didn’t extend into her intestines or anything, it was just a small pocket in the back wall.
- Comment on Like a heart 1 week ago:
It was in the back wall of the vagina, a little bit before her cervix.
- Comment on Like a heart 1 week ago:
I actually dated a girl who had a chambered pussy. She was born with mild spina bifida, and there was a scar on her tailbone.
Anyhow, she loved doggy style. I’d get going good and then pop the head of my dick into the alcove, she’d cum her brains out.
Fun times.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification 2 weeks ago:
His ideas are fantastic. Execution and characterization are spotty. Been a while since I read anything of his, but IIRC, he has a tendency to dip into surrealism or absurdity that feels cringey instead of his artistic target.
In some ways, it’s similar to a lot of Golden Era SF. You read it for the ideas, not the story.
I do have a favorable opinion of him and his work. I’d really enjoy Doctorow being paired with a traditional fiction author and both being rode herd by a hardass SF editor.
- Comment on 9,000 years ago. Wonder if even way back then it was referred to as doggy 2 weeks ago:
The Posterior Fornix can be stimulated during doggy style. (Anterior Fornix in missionary.) They are similar to the g-spot, with some people preferring fornix orgasm to g-spot or clitoral stimulation. You aim above the cervix with the tip of your dick or fingers and stretch that area.
This depends on the anatomy of both partners. It’s also a skill that needs to be trained. However, if you can make it work, and the recipient is sensitive to it: fireworks! Like, grunting, moaning, and prayers from a bad porno level of good.

Dated a girl with a BMW and the turn signal was real fucky. Didn’t click right, had no feel. You had to look at the dash to even see if it was on.
German engineering can suck my fucking balls.

You’re trying to chew on the wrong people. No one here is defending anything. Context is being provided.
Organized religion is mostly a poison, especially the fundamentalist version. Also, I get the rage. That shit ate my family.
That being said, I think it’s important to be as accurate as possible in our criticism. Lot’s daughters were offered for gang rape as his visitors were male aspect angels. Warped perspective given modern views. It’s about the duty to visitors and the evil of Sodom. I don’t know the historicity of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the story is almost certainly mostly fictional.
What’s really fucked up is trying to apply Bronze Age morality to the current age and cramming it down children’s throats.
You’re so angry about this shit, but, maybe you should make sure you’re directing that anger at appropriate targets.
- Comment on Now I finally get it 4 weeks ago:
You’re nine kinds of warped around the axle about this and being pretty nasty to someone who seems to be chill.
Also, as an agnostic atheist raised in some ugly fundamentalism: you’re applying modern views that are out of context to the period. Women and children were basically property. A similar modern view would be towards livestock.

This is so delightfully evil. My girl and I laughed like chimpanzees.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about informed consent. (Active in the BDSM community.) I’ve negotiated a lot of sex. However, some things, like a first kiss, I prefer to communicate without talking. Most functional adults should be able to negotiate a kiss without saying a word. Especially if you’re on a real date. You just have to ease into it.
Hell yeah. I still love the trade. Did management and consulting but have found I’m not happy if I’m not working with my hands. Working with my hands includes modelling and programming.

Lemmy sometimes. It’s like a basic human thing. Someone gives you the look, you get closer, they get closer, you gently touch lips and then go from there. Some of this functions at the level of biology. You can actually see the other’s pupils dilate. We’re not talking random heavy tounge kissing and groping or negotiating kinky sex.

Damn skippy! Your old man is taking care of you, even if the delivery was rough.
If your hobbies/pastime are mostly gaming, don’t talk about it much other than a casual mention. Do talk about books, if you read and she’s receptive. Assuming US, try and stay away from politics, unless your dad tells you her political orientation; and even then just insult Trump. Talk about pets, animals, hiking/camping/outdoors. Some science talk can be good. Let her lead.
Kiss her when she gives you the look, you’ll know the look. It will make you very nervous. Do it anyways. Go with her when she asks, “you want to get out of here?” Suggest her place if you need to.
When it gets down to the get down, let her lead. Check in and ask if she likes what you’re doing. It’s okay to be inexperienced, she’ll be expecting it and will accept it as long you’re teachable. If you pop early, laugh, make fun of yourself. Very important, say something like, "welp, at least I’m 22, gimme like 15 minutes and we can try again.’

Your old man knows what he’s doing. She’s 27.
Go on the date, try and be cool. Let her do most of the talking. Given the age gap, it probably won’t ever be anything serious.
However, she’s 27. You’re getting laid on the first or second date as long as you don’t turn her off. She’s looking to get lucky.
Cut your fingernails, shave your balls, keep some gum or mints in your pocket. Bring rubbers. Be cool.

George Clooney has done some real life Batman shit. He started the Satellite Sentinel Project. using some of his millions. Org’s website is https://thesentry.org/
He rents satellite time and surveils African warlords providing warnings for villages of incoming armies.

After increasingly cussing the TV as the level of stupid rose higher and higher, we made it to the part where magic purple witch spray was used. I paused the TV and my girl and I just looked at each other, we were done.
Also, who the fuck writes in a fucking basement in New Orleans? Not motherfucking Anne Rice. So stupid.
We’re finishing up the second season of Interview with a Vampire. Other than a bad Southern accent in the first season, it’s excellent and super queer. Highly recommend.

- Comment on "I have been collecting the little tricks and rules for designing well-printable parts" 1 month ago:
This is a very sharp article. Think I first saw it on Hackaday. I should be using the checklist more often. If there is to be a 3D print bible like Machinery’s Handbook, this article is foundational.
In particular, chamfers and fillets and their relationship to strength by reducing stress risers is often missed on amateur designs.
I need to look at crush ribs and ribs for screws/bolts more.
The idea of a sphere being the most efficent shape is counterintuitive when most mechanical design is inherited from subtractive manufacturing. Also, speed holes reducing strength and increasing material usage is wild. These are powerful ideas that are going to cause almost a philosophical change in manufacturing. It’s going to take decades. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff when you really think about it.
DFM, in general, is a woefully underappreciated aspect of engineering. One of the great things about 3D printing is that the designer is generally forced to eat their own dog food.
MEs should recieve more education about DFM. 3D printing would be an easy way to force them to understand the difficulty poor design causes. Of course, DFM for subtractive is a larger and more complex subject, but printing would at least teach the lesson with a little sting.

I started working in shops around 2000. I’m so fucken over it.
Learn a trade, may not always pay great but you can always find something.
Live below your means, assume you could be laid off at any time. If you’re able to buy a house, don’t buy too much house.
