Just point me to the Natalie Portman and hot grits.

Okay, but where is the instance that is trying to model itself after slashdot? (I feel old)

Thanks for putting this into words. I’ve had a vague discontent and disgruntlement with superhero crap for a long time. While this isn’t the only reason I dislike superhero movies, this is a big part of it.

I do still like The Punisher movie with Jain, Dredd, The Crow, and a few others. Antiheros in general. They’re also more human and not as one dimensional.

Sounds like your grandfather was a wise man. That’s a great story!

Luckily, I’ve never ended up in a survival situation. However, I have a few habits. I keep a fire source or two in my truck, zippo in my jeans. Feel naked without a pocket knife and keep a knife or two in my truck. I also keep a piece of pine heart in my truck bed. Has come in handy many times and I’ve built fires in southern February thunderstorms.

Taught my kids how to build a one match fire with just a knife and a match when they were in elementary school.

Also taught them to never go in the woods without a knife, fire, and water. Taught them how to find pine heart. Probably time for a refresher course for my son on fire building.

I’ve been trying to teach my son how to sharpen knives, but it requires a level of stubbornness that he doesn’t have yet. (I don’t see the point in all those fancy angled sharpeners.) Use a flat stone, diamond preferred for speed and sharpness. You can make any sort of edge you want. Get good, and in a pinch you can sharpen a knife or other piece of metal with a brick or flat rock.

Very nice. Never owned a Benchmade, can’t justify spending that on myself. 😁 I carry Chinese Kershaws, easy to sharpen and I can beat the hell out of them without guilt. I’m a cheap knife person, other than the Victorinox Swiss Champ I also always carry (on my fifth or so). Like Dexter Russell and Mora for fixed blades.

Any chance you’d share the survival stories?

Here are our kitchen knives, mostly carbon Dexter Russell:

What kind of knife? Also, just like cats, got a pic?

I mean, I still totally probably would.

Back in my drinking days, I definitely would have taken her home at last call.

I didn’t comment about her body in that comment.

Anyhow, with caveats, I would totally make that comment in front of the right crowd. I’ve been to a lot of kink parties and drag shows. Cis-het peeps don’t have a monopoly on catty coments.

If someone wears a shirt with a sexual statement on it, then others will make sexual statements about them.

I didn’t even think about the Luigi/Italian thing until I read it in a comment. To me, that shirt said that she has sex better than people who aren’t Italian.

I did make a deleted comment referring to her Botox or plastic surgery and that I considered it a red flag. I find uncanny valley plastic surgery profoundly unattractive. I don’t remember exactly what I said. It was flippant and arguably objectification.

So, I misread the room and my joke was poorly received. I haven’t read the rules for shitposting or whatever and would not be surprised if I violated a rule.

From my view, the shirt with a funny sexual statement invites other sexual statements. I think that anyone that denies that the slogan is a double entendre is naive at best. The level of outrage amusing.

You don’t know me or the women and NBs I associate with. Thanks for playing.

This format of tagline has been around since like the 70s. The IT is inherently sexual. Usually something like, “Diamond Cutters Do It Harder.”

It’s a double entendre and isn’t funny without the sexual subtext.

So, unless there was a convention to redifine this joke that I didn’t hear about; yeah, it’s sexual. Anything else is just trying to contort common social mores to fit an agenda.

If it was a big hairy guy wearing a shirt that said “Bears Do It Better” I would also expect sexual jokes.

Oh hey, I’m in this screenshot making an off-color comment. We can debate misogyny and such, probably won’t be very productive.

The thing I find interesting in this: “Italians Do It Better” is an inherently sexual statement. Everyone knows that IT is sex and maybe some other reference with this style of bumper sticker meme. That’s what makes it funny. So then, is it wrong to make a sexual joke about someone who is wearing a funny sexual statement? I don’t think so.

If she were wearing a plain tee or some other logo, I wouldn’t make a sexual joke. This feels like white knight silliness to me.

Welp. This will be stupid.

Shh. Only dreams now.

Howdy! Welcome to Lemmy! Thank you for responding.

I’ve never had a kidney stone and hope I never do. Paternal grandfather would get them.

You’re a sick fuck. Probably be in good company here. I was up all night working on a presentation for our local BDSM community.

From what I know about sounding: Purchase quality stainless sounds. They should be passivated and have a high polish. They should be boiled for sterilization and you should use sterile lube. Go slow, they should slip in by their own weight, don’t force them. Lot of guys get a whole lot of pleasure from them.

Personally, I have a double urethra. Two holes inside the slit of my cock. Like an over-under shotgun, if that makes sense. No way in hell I’m trying sounding. Have been cathed in the hospital, both tubes join into one somewhere back in there.

I’m currently rebuilding a chicken coop into the Pig Dog Mojo Dojo Casa House, named by my wife. All three pigs and the dog are girls. Two of the piggies are violent lesbian lovers.

I’m Ken, I do Farm.

I think McMaster’s transition from catalog to website is brilliant. I’ve had younger crew be amazed when I gave them an old catalog; like keep it in the break room and flip through it while looking at McMaster on their phone.

I do wonder why they kept the black and white pictures.

Jeebus. Is he a tough motherfucker or did he regret this strategy? Also, did he use a bite stick as he neared completion?

Need more details, please.

If they’re a sounding afficinado, it would be like a throwing star down a hallway.

But I’m lazy and have given up on keeping my shit private.

I’m mostly joking but would do it if I have to. I only have like 9 inches of colon left and it’s not attached to my small intestine.

Swiss Navy silicone FTW!
