  • I saw these a little while back and thought they looked awesome, but after reading lots of reviews on a few different brands, they all came to the same conclusion. It wasn’t actually viable as a Bluetooth device. Hard to hear for both parties.

    Most said they just ended up using it as part of their cosplay, but never used the actual Bluetooth function. At that rate, you could find better looking ones or ones that may have other, simple functions, like just doing the sound effect when you press it.

    I imagine if you wanted to create the effect, you could may be able to buy your own pin of it to put on your shirt and then wear a typical Bluetooth ear piece and just act like you are using the communicator. It’s not perfect, but you’d at least have a Bluetooth that is viable and just get the one that makes the sound effect when you press it.

    I think we would see an additional category. People that were circumcised against their will, wanting to go back to the side they may have loyalty for. Someone who was passionate that the uncircumcised side was the only side to be on, the righteous side, but was forced into circumcision.

    I think they try to sew back on the foreskin. The thought may begin with some being ashamed that they lost their foreskin and had to “replace it”, but it may quickly become a thing of “who is going to know?”.

    Problem is… someone would come up with a way to tell. And the “true foreskiners” do not accept the “sewed on foreskiners”. There is bigotry and divided among their side. Causing an inner struggle and broken down factions of the same side. Some “sewed on foreskiners” may feel that the “true foreskiners” aren’t the side they used to be and won’t accept them anyways, so they removed the replaced foreskin to either join the circumcised or possibly start their own, new side. “The circumcised reborners”

    Since I first heard of this 15 years ago, I still haven’t ever done this, because the box when it’s folded up, is just like a box of food in it. You can just eat out of it, as is, similar to a bowl. When you’re done, you don’t have to fold anything back up into a box. You just close it and put it in the fridge.

    The amount of time I spend trying to remember a thought I was literally in the middle of and often with the most useless details.

    For some reason I’ll have like two random things to go off of. “It had to do with “purple” and “about 10 years ago”. Wtf, I was just thinking about it. What was it?











  • Here’s the issue. The nice guys you’re talking about, the “real nice guys” don’t care about advantages and disadvantages of being nice because they aren’t being nice in order to gain something from others… cause that’s not actually being nice. They aren’t being nice and then getting upset that their kindness isn’t being noticed when dating or that they get upset when their kindness is taken advantage of. They are nice because they believe being decent to others is the best way to live and treat others, even if it’s sometimes taken advantage of by others. They find more in the act of being nice itself, than what they may benefit from it or even what possible negative results may come from it from other people taking advantage.

    The second you said “when it gives you a disadvantage while dating” you’ve already crossed the line into r/niceguys. You’re trying to give kindness a value that can be traded or points and essentially stating it deserves something in return.

    Don’t be nice to gain something from others. That isn’t being nice. That’s being manipulative. Be nice knowing you aren’t going to gain anything in return, but still choose to be nice anyway.

    As for helping others… it sounds weird when you put the two topics together. Helping people that are being abused… and dating. I don’t want to make assumptions, but talking about both of these things together makes it sound more like your main focus is dating, but kind of using “helping others” as a guise. It’s one thing to want to help abuse victims, but it’s another if you’re essentially saying that you want to help them out of their abusive relationship and into a relationship with you. That doesn’t sound like the goal is to actually help them. It sounds like “come date me because I’m a nice guy and will treat you better”. Then getting frustrated that the don’t, because you “deserve” the relationship because your a ‘nice guy’ and it’s an afterthought that it may so happen to benefit them too.

    Maybe I’m reading into it wrong. This is a complex conversation over a couple paragraphs, so… kind of hard to gauge accuracy over what is being said.


  • You think there is democracy in the US? Our votes don’t even matter because politicians purposefully draw the districts to favor the outcome they want (gerrymandering) and it’s completely legal because the people in charge of making the laws are the same people that are in control and want to stay in control.

    The US is soft despotism. Giant corporations literally buy the laws they want at the expense of the people, because politicians like money and are happy to sign away bills for a large bribe gift of a million dollars. The people aren’t in control and haven’t been anywhere close to in control for nearly a century.

    What was illegal for President Warren G Harding in the 1920’s (giving all his under qualified buddies cabinet positions, so they could all make huge deals with government contracts) is now just the norm and completely legal.


  • Nah, it would have been way better (especially for literally everyone else) if they didn’t play at all.

    Instead all the greediest people are realizing they can do this and they get all the things they want (so does Trump, along with more power) and it’s only at the expense of the entire American population (and the rest of the world too).

    Fuck Cook. It isn’t clever. It’s literally greed. It’s not even that other people haven’t thought to do this, it’s that you have to be a total piece of shit to do this.
