Mcdonald's was making their coffee so hot frodo could've destroyed the one ring in it.

No, I just keep them in a clean spot and they last about a week before they start looking dingy. Then I use a new pair.

I don't get a lot of earwax though so someone who's ears make more will probably have to change them more frequently.

Ear plugs have been a life saver for me. I can't sleep without them now, fortunately they sell them in huge containers so I only have to buy them like every year and half.

I guess I'm fucking strange because I tend to game in complete silence.

Companies make way more money shoveling ads down our throats than they ever will from subscriptions. That's why subscriptions services end up having ads anyway... or doing things like Netflix whos offering a cheaper subscription that serves ads.

We'll never get companies to get away from ad revenue. It too easy of a way to make money.

Women are allowed to walk around in sandals and no shoes at the beach despite foot fetishes being one of the most common paraphilias(behind breasts.)

You don't see women getting accosted by guys who like feet because they have their toes out and it's sexual to some guy nearby.

If dudes into feet can control themselves and be respectful then so can dudes into breasts when they are near a top less woman in public.

It's not like she's asking for breast implants or liposuction(or something else that is not reconstructive in nature). It's lasik, and it'll help her quality of life, no more worrying about breaking her glasses or losing contacts.

We dont know if she works in special ed where getting hit in the face could be a normal occurance for her. Maybe she struggles with contacts. Either way there are a lot of reasons for someone to want to go that route.

Also, comparing lasik to something like nonreconstructive cosmetic surgery is disingenuous. One is completely for aesthetics, the other affects function.

I always look at it this way.... being into feet is one of the most common paraphilias(other than breasts) that people can have.

If folks into feet can control themselves in summertime when barefeet and sandals are common, then people into boobs can control themselves when they see female nipples out.

I also agree that we need to desexualize the nude human body outside of sexual contexts. I went to a classical art school where we would draw from live nude models for 8 hours a day.

How quickly you get used to nude bodies is kind of impressive, and the men in class didn't turn into sex crazed animals when we had nude female models. The folks into penises didn't become possessed with lust over the nude male models. Everything went professionally as it should. So people can in fact handle nude bodies with maturity when they want to.

Its just most people dont want to... for some reason.

Reckless endangerment and manslaughter.

They were warned that women would die due these laws and they didn't listen. They recklessly put those laws there and people died... resulting in manslaughter.

I'd prefer homicide too, but I feel like manslaughter charges would stick better because you don't have to prove intent, just that someone died because of their actions.

I've literally heard religious people say that women are supposed to be willing to die for their babies. If a woman wants to live and aborts a septic pregnancy she's a bad, immoral person.

It's super fucked up how much conviction they have when they say it too. Women are basically just a disposable womb to them. I always feel gross when I'm near someone saying that kind of shit.

If they're mad about people shopping while working from home I have bad news.

People shop from their phones while working at the job site too. I see several of my coworkers doing this frequently. Shit, I've done it.

Sure, we can't shower on site unless you're a firefighter or something, or have a gym at workplace, but still.

Employers need to reign in their power hungry bullshit. You don't own your employees, and if the work is getting done on time, you have nothing to complain about.
