    Just because you live longer than someone doesn’t mean that you’ve outlived them.

    As the demographic of this place is probably old enough to remember and experience the nuclear paranoia of the 80s cold war shenanigans, do you think we're overly sensitive and fearful of the consequences of the current 'events' surrounding the Ukraine.

    • Overly sensitive? No.
      Adequately sensitive? Yes.

    When you read something in parenthesis (like this here) do you use a different voice for what's inside the parenthesis?

    Not sure where I lie politically, never have been. What I don't think is right is that we have 'natural resources', eg. Hydrocarbons, that are taken out and sold to the whims of a market, with a fucking huge, partially- tax-payer- funded buffer betwixt incumbent resource extraction and spastic end-sale.

    At the worst recent point in consumer history, we have hydrocarbon companies making literal fucking billions, much of which comes directly out of our pockets.

    Shit ain't right.

    Whenever some chart or graph comes up that results in a comparison of nations, I'm basically always "Ok, whatever this is – are we better than France?".

    • Germany second, and context-depending, US after. US always beats us, so it's mostly a pointless comparison.Nairn

    • Germans, too. They've got 14.52 cm dongs. Sorry again.Continuity
    • Hmm, like anyone would believe a Frenchman's report of the size of his petit saucisson.Nairn

    i'm curious as to how this study of penis sizes came to be done.

    i mean, assuming you decide that this is a thing worth doing (really? i mean, really really?), then presumably you have to lay out some ground rules.

    for instance how do you ensure the measurements are taken consistently? was it one person travelling the world with their tape measure, or did they recruit a whole team of measurers. and if so, how was that advert worded? "wanted: penile proportion professionals"? and what sort of person would take on such a job? how were they sure their subject was fully erect each time?

    and once you have assemble your team, if your study is going to be meaningful, then the team all have to be consistent in their method of measuring. were they equipped with a special measuring device - and if so, what does this device look like? (how many were made?) or just given a ruler and a set of instructions as to where to measure from (side, bottom, top, etc etc)?

    and how did this team go about recruiting people to be measured? facebook ads? were the samples large enough to be meaningful statistically?

    etc etc....

    • I imagine there's been workshops for medical staff on the subject. You know, extra training.

    I wonder how badly us psoriasis suffers will get the evil eye in public, with this whole monkeypox business.

    Just got back from H&M to get some underwear, and — as I was unpacking them to get them into the wash — I happened to glance at one of the packages, where the features of said pants was laid out:

    • Durable fit (Okay, cool, I don't want them to lose their shape, I suppose)
    • Breathable (Excellent, though assumed. If you're selling pants made of non-breathable fabric, maybe you should get out of the underwear business, because you clearly don't know what you're doing)
    • Support (Err ... eh?)

    Why lay this out? Support? Okay, some guys want their package held in place, but I wouldn't call that 'support', as such.

    Testicles are not breasts. They're tiny wee things by comparison, and weigh nothing. They don't necessarily need 'support'.

    I mean, come on. It's a slippery slope from 'support' to 'push-up', and then where will we be?

    'PUSH-UP PANTS, FOR MAXIMUM BALL CLEAVAGE.'

    • On the other hand, since people are tanning their arseholes, I suppose all bets are off, at this point.Continuity
    • Maybe an underwire for the ballsack? Or maybe two little underwires, one for each of the boys?

      This is how you Idle Thoughts, people.
      Continuity
    • And actually, if you're not buying boxer shorts, isn't 'support' assumed anyway? Like, that's the whole point of buying not-boxers, right? Why point it out?Continuity

    • I submit to you, sir, that that's irrelevant. Not-boxers would hold his geriatric scrot in place, as they would a young man's (like me).Continuity

    I have a mental misstep that always amuses me when I see it - Y'know those self-congratulatory tees that Marathon runners or Ironman participators wear that proclaim their completion of whatever event? They usually say "Finisher" on with some ca-razy image or statement, well every time I see that I mix it up with 'fluffer' and imagine that they actually completed some porn stint getting the dude to 'finish' on their hands or hair or whatever.

    it's a really poor and broken thought, but it ..er.. comes up EVERY TIME I see them, Which is lots, where I live. The twats.

    I am constantly getting weird incel vibes from omahadesigns and NBQOO. They are so similar in their ignorant treatment / questioning of women's behaviour and posting of videos regarding "Chads" that I can't help both of them represent this meme to a T.

    I want an RTS game based on Lego, with tech trees that sort of follow Lego's evolution, with an aesthetic emphasis primarily concerned with 70s/80s space lego, but ultimately anything goes. You want to mix duplo red block with some ninjago (?) and some 80s lego flowers as a radar jammer? go right ahead!

    You build new units in game as you would normal lego and 'somehow magically' various bits turn into guns or scanners or eyes or whsatever.

    Something like this could be a low-mid level hover tank unit, for instance

    • And obviously when they're attacked they fall apart into their respective lego components, which could be harvested for re-use.Nairn
    • this is more of a million dollar idea. special parts could be included in builds to give them their "powers" or characteristic. combine for fun². inspiringimbecile
    • bridge building would be key. but just custom units but custom structures that could be blown upcannonball1978
    • They tried to make a Lego open world Minecraft rip and it failed once. Maybe again.monospaced
    • This isn't that, but this is at least partly inspired by what Minecraft promises, still, after all these years.. https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn
    • @c1978 - you're quite right, the entire environment should be lego... although small tanks would judder like a mf'er over all those bumps :)Nairn
    • Yeah I know this isn’t that. This would be better than the Lego game they tried rolling out that failed.monospaced
