  • I might be wrong in this. My understanding is that it is flammable, but not when it’s “solid” if that makes sense. That a fire would have to be on it and burning hot enough for long enough to start melting the tar then that could burn. But the asphalt itself isn’t likely to just catch fire from a lighting strike or something and just continue to burn.


  • Nah I’ve definitely done a quick heel-toe walk across an area to get a ballpark of distance. Along with basically any other body part I could reasonably use to measure something when I don’t have a tape measure on me at that moment.

    I’ve also previously measured and I know that for example my bare foot is about 11 inches long heel to toe and that my shoe makes it about 12. I could do exactly the same thing with metric.


  • Most of the prominent right wing personalities are failed Hollywood types. Ben Shapiro wanted to be a screenwriter, Michael Knowles had a failed acting career, Crowder tried to do stand up in addition to the voice work in Arthur being discussed here. Seriously, SO MANY OF THEM have some kind of failed entertainment career prior to their ascent to right wing talking heads.

    Oh no I get grouped in with shitty people all the time. I’m AMAB and I look very much like a man. I am acutely aware of how I’m seen. I see every single woman that sees me and instinctively recoils in anticipation of me being exactly that kind of man. It sends my dysphoria through the roof to be seen and perceived that way every single second of every single day. I deal with that pain all the time.

    But do you know what I don’t do? I don’t turn that around on women who are validly pointing out saying they hate when men do something messed up or creepy to women and tell them that they need to be more considerate of MY feelings on the matter. I don’t tell them that they need to stop being an asshole to me if they want me to care about their issues.

    The difference is that those photos are presented as if the unrealistic thing is desirable. As if it is something that everyone should want to be. While you’re hearing “I wish men would stop being creepy” and acting like they’re directly calling you personally a creep.

    I’m an AMAB nonbinary person, basically every time a woman sees me I can see her instinctively preparing for me to be that exact guy because I look like if Bigfoot dressed as Bob from Bob’s Burgers. It sends my dysphoria through the roof every time. But even I can manage not to get bent out of shape when women call out men being toxic because I know I’m not guilty of the things they’re calling out.

    So I say again. Sounds like a skill issue



  • Saaaaaame…

    I went from being homophobic because I mistook my being uncomfortable with overt sexual advances from anyone as being uncomfortable with gay men because “of course I’m attracted to women I just haven’t met The One yet,” to thinking I was bi because once I thought about it I realized I didn’t really feel any differently toward men and women, to finally my now wife when we were dating introducing me to the concept of being asexual and I realized that yeah I do have the same attraction toward men and women… Zero.

    Compulsive Heterosexuality is strong yo.

    Classic Lavender Marriage is the easy answer. In my wife’s case she is deeply intimidated by pretty women so she has enough trouble talking to them. She couldn’t flirt with one to save her gay ass.

    Her not being attracted to me like that is fine by me since I’m ace. We’re basically just besties on a permanent sleepover that we formalized for tax purposes.


  • I think the weird ones with the horns are usually called Scalies. Wait no I suppose goats exist… Carry on.

    Jokes aside this comment made me laugh so hard because before I figured out I was ace and was still forcing myself to keep up a “normal” sex drive for my ex the only porn that did it for me was the super degenerate kind. So for the longest time I thought I had just a bunch of weird fetishes but in reality I was just so asexual that it was indistinguishable from a severe porn addiction like some Degenerate Horseshoe Theory.

    So I guess the point is just: Become Ungovernable. Beat your meat to Furry Porn




  • I had one of them in my left arm right at like the bottom of the shoulder muscle. Only thing that happened with it was the pore like… Stretched out until it was about the size of the pump needle you use for like a basketball. Even after finally getting the hair out of it the pore never fully closed back up. I like to joke that it’s my vaccine injection port but it’s like an inch or so too low for where they usually put them.
