  • I live in a flyover state, and was never teased in the locker room for being uncircumcised. No one even brought it up. Had they, I’m sure my response would’ve been “why you looking at my dick, bro? You hungry?”.

    Cleaning is as easy as any other body part.

    I’ve never had a negative interaction about it with any girl. I don’t think most girls know what they’re looking at with a lot of detail.

    My son isn’t either, and I just showed him how to bathe properly early on (keeping in mind kids often forget it don’t understand and need little of reinforcement for anything). “If you don’t scrub a body part with soap, it isn’t getting cleaned”. That’s true for armpits, feet, whatever. Never a problem.

    It’s amazing that most of the world is uncircumcised, and doesn’t have a problem. It’s only the United States where we have to chop off boys dicks?


  • I disagree, “What’s up, people?” By Maximum the Hormone (Death Note OP 2) is great. The intro with all the manically laughing Light heads in the fires of hell, while MtH growls metal vocals over it? Chef’s kiss.

    High School of the Dead has a great opening as well - Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets. It’s also a really fun anime.

    Call of the Night’s entire anime was written around the song in their season 1 opening. It’s pretty good as well.

    Someone already mentioned Cowboy Bebop, and that entire soundtrack is perfect. They wrote many episodes to fit the music they made first.

    Tokyo Ghoul had that meme of the opening for a while, because that one part sounds really nice when it hits.

    I’m sure there’s others, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.


  • It’s odd that they consider the really specific case of a teen that works two jobs to make ends meet, and decide to make national sweeping changes to accommodate that. No, no way could it have any negative effect on anyone else. And they definitely shouldn’t try to address the problem of one job for that teen not being enough to support themselves.

    THIS is what a union helps you do. To stop shit like this. This is an unthinkable possibility in the US because there’s no unions in any effective capacity.


  • We had a huge ice storm in 2007 across the entire state of Oklahoma. The whole state was without power. I didn’t have a chimney, and neither did anyone else I knew. It was easy to freeze to death as every road was ice, or covered with fallen trees. It took a month to get an electrician to fix our rental house, and we stayed with my dad who heated his house with the oven burners that used natural gas. You could die that way, but it was below freezing so we had no choice.

    My next house had a chimney, and I got a small generator. I’ve had to use them both, since.

    I will always have a chimney for emergency heat!

    I’m pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as “disappointed”. Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn’t have full control over is.

    Personally, I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I’m not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.












  • There’s definitely two different dialects now, from the Oklahoma Cherokee and North Carolina Cherokee. That’s simply from the difference between the two. For instance, in the Cherokee Nation, we say “Osiyo” as a greeting, but the Eastern Band of Cherokee say “Siyo”. It’s still written the same way, but it’s an interesting way to see language change in such a recent time (the trail of tears was 1831). Kind of like Spanish in Mexico vs Chile or Spain.

    The language itself is very old (an Iroquoian language base), but the syllabary was created in 1821.
