Honestly? I find a lot of things a smartphone CAN do aren't as convenient as they should be.
Like the stopwatch function is buried inside the clock app. So you can't open it quickly. And on top of that, instead of a tactile button you can rest your finger on and hit at a moments notice, the button on the phone is a touch sensitive area on a glass pane. It's just not as optimal as a dedicated digital stopwatch.

I love trolling over silly policy decisions!
Joking aside, I think "insertive" and "receptive" work just fine while also being more technically accurate.
The justification for the change might make ones eyes roll, because we are talking about plugs not people, but if the alternative is just as easy while also being correct, it's really no skin off my nose to use different words.
That's just my perspective though.

I definitely second The Wailing. Such an interesting film filled we with a blend of Korean shamanism and Judeo Christian elements. Every 40 minutes I would think to myself "oh....it's THAT kind of movie?" Because it would trick me onto thinking I had anything at all figured out.

Sky valley is pretty damn close. A little more roasted flavor, but I'm happy with the switch. I have not tried Underwood Farms' sauce yet however.

I was thinking "huh must be some other Micheal Flatley", but nope. It's that Michael Flatley hahaha. Riverdance got me like many interested in Irish dance as a wee bairn, but even then I couldn't fucking stand the guy.

If this isn't some of the least empathetic advice I've ever read.

I'm still figuring this all out, why should kbin block lemmy.ml and why does mastodon.art block kbin? Also if there is a place to read about all of this, where is it?
