Naked flaccid penises are generally ok in non-sexual contexts like on statues or young children/babies, but any adult human dicks should probably be censored or behind a NSFW tag.

I like the idea of a dude that eats in moderation with a healthy well-balanced diet, exercises regularly, and avoids vices like alcohol and smoking becoming obese and dying of heart failure because of light pollution.

Long term insomnia really can really screw up your ability to do the exercise or good diet parts of that. Most people would invest in a set of blackout curtains before that had a chance to happen though.

Yes, I live in a city, so light pollution is a problem, but I just put curtains up like I've done for my entire life and that problem is now resolved. e: Oh now I get it, I can blame the fact that I like cheeseburgers and video games more than exercising on light pollution and not my own laziness and lack of self-motivation.

Shugojin posted:Long term insomnia really can really screw up your ability to do the exercise or good diet parts of that. Light pollution refers to not being able to see the stars. Nobody's becoming an insomniac solely because they can't see stars. People get by in submarines for crying out loud. Other people work night shifts and sleep during the day. Seeing daylight sure makes it harder to sleep, but lack of stars? And even if it causes a little insomnia, enough to cause a heart attack or obesity? Its a stretch to the point of disbelief. If some rear end in a top hat has a spot light or a neon sign right outside your window, that's different. But yeah buy some blackout curtains. Its lame that you can't see all the millions of stars if you live in a city, but its not literally killing you. Go out to the country once every few months and take a gander.

Oh? I always thought light pollution was just ambient light everywhere from whatever sources. Drowns out the stars and shines through your windows annoyingly. I have never known anyone but amateur astronomers to complain about the stars being drowned. E: also I meant order of weeks to months a couple hours a night worth of sleep deprivation can stress a person out and gently caress up decision making. The heart attack thing is really edge case "just had heart problems" territory though. Shugojin fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Something I've always wondered: When will referendes and parodies of late 90s movies like Austin Powes and The Matrix stop inducing eye rolls, because they'll be considered beloved classics? Maybe referring to Austin Powers as a "beloved classic" is a bit much, but you know what I mean.

Works for me...but anyway, it's not quite as glorious as that headline implies. His people put out some generic campaign image that had some stockphoto soldiers smushed into the corner of it. Immediately upon release the internet identified them as Nazi soldiers by their uniforms and the image was yanked.

Shugojin posted:Oh? I always thought light pollution was just ambient light everywhere from whatever sources. Drowns out the stars and shines through your windows annoyingly. You're correct that light pollution is mostly about cities being so bright that stars can't be seen from them anymore. There are concerns about "overillumination", particularly in office spaces with lots and lots of fluorescent lighting over rows and rows of cubicles, having some bad effects on a person's restfulness, but that's generally talked about as being separate from light pollution, and it's not like street lights has anything to do with someone having trouble sleeping because they work nights. The other, and probably more legitimate concern with light pollution is that it fucks up an animal's biorhythm and nocturnal navigation. They think it's day all the time and also they can't see the moon and the stars so they can't tell where they're going, and they can't exactly work around the issue with blackout curtains.

You could make a better case tangentially related to artificial lighting: Mankind's sleep cycle has been shifted from 2 sets of 4 hours sleep to a single block of 8 hours. Apparently waking in the middle of the night with mild insomnia was common enough that the Koran has prayers specified for just that period. Then again, this is mostly off an article from the BBC, so I can't verify it for the life of me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSuF2hA8W4Y JJ McCullough seems to have scaled back his cartooning in order to pursue a career of YouTube superstardom. Unfortunately most of his videos have something in the neighbourhood of like 500 views so I dunno how that's gonna work out for him. He's also launched a website called Americans that Matter with caricatures and brief autobiographies of people he considers have had lasting cultural influence on the US. Some kind of pet project that he's apparently been working on for a while. No Iwata obituary yet.

I've heard it repeated enough times across reputable sources that I'm pretty sure it's true: we used to sleep for 4 hours somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 PM (sundown) to 10 PM, wake up, socialize for 1-2 hours, then sleep again for another 4 hours to wake up around or just before sunrise. colonel_korn posted:He's also launched a website called Americans that Matter with caricatures and brief autobiographies of people he considers have had lasting cultural influence on the US.
