AlphaKretin posted:That until now, just this once, in another country/culture, I've never seen a homeless woman - only men. Maybe the rest of this post would better fit in the A/T stupid questions thread, but what would be the cause of this imbalance? You've seen them. They've just been prostituting instead of begging, so you didn't notice. Edit: Sure, why wouldn't this be a page snipe.

Plus a homeless woman is much more vulnerable to be on the street. Generally they couldn't be out begging on the street especially in the evening the same way men could.

Another factor would probably be that in many areas there are shelters specifically for women, because of the higher risk.

Phlegmish posted:Wouldn't it be the other way around? I thought that sound was mostly found in Peninsular Spanish, with Latin Americans pronouncing z as s. That's correct, the Spanish lisp pronounces z's and soft c's like the english th, though not all Spaniards have that accent. Latin American accents don't have this sound. I'm not sure what the person you were quoting was trying to say, but it's certainly possible for a Mexican to pronounce the sound especially if they speak English.

Is it true that the Spanish lisp thing is on account of Charles II being horribly inbred and unable to pronounce things correctly?

It's probably a combination of never noticing and what others have said about them deliberately choosing to stay less visible because of danger. I know it isn't hard-hitting journalism, but Cracked did an article once with a homeless woman talking about her experiences. I think the prostitution stuff is less of an issue here, since it's legalised. Not to say it never happens or anything like that, but having it legalised definitely changes things.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I'd say 85% of ordinary men have dry balls. Spit on them, slap some lotion on them, olive oil, Pam, whatever--moisturize your balls, gentlemen. I knew a farmer whose fingertips split open from a combination of wear-and-tear and chronic dryness; ball sacks are capable of doing the same thing, given sufficient desiccation. I had this, or something similar to it, happen when I was 12. My whole crotch became all scaly sorta like a harlequin baby and would bleed between the cracks. I remember going to the bathroom in middle school to dab it with a moist paper towel and crying. Because I was at a sensitive age I never told anyone, including my parents. I'm lucky my dick didn't fall off or something. The condition ended up resolving itself after a few weeks, fortunately, but it was loving awful while it lasted.

Travis343 posted:pyf place to scope homeless babes E/N has got you covered (requires archives) e: to contribute, I just realised that the German words "modern" (like the English word) and "modern" (moulder, rot) are written exactly the same, just stressed on different syllables. I've known this basically since I learned to read ~25 years ago, but I didn't really *notice* the similarity until now

Weird, I had the same thing at about the same age. Same gig with me, I didn't tell anyone and it self resolved in a few weeks. I attribute it to an unreasonable amount of masturbation.

In Beverley Hills Cop III (the one in the theme park) Axel Foley is being cornered outside a ride by the security guards after he's seen the counterfeiting machines in action. The guards open their jackets to show their guns to Foley before he thinks for a moment, fires a couple of shots in the air and surrenders. I could never work out why he fired his gun (I assumed it was just to set up the plot to get him on camera so he could be framed for shooting Uncle Dave) until it hit me - because he'd seen too much he had to draw attention to himself so people would ask questions if he disappeared. If he didn't draw any attention the guards would have taken him away and murdered him. Which is a bit grim for a comedy movie when you think about it.

If you hit the TV Guide button on the remote during commercial breaks, all the obnoxious flashing ads meant to get your attention without sound get shrunk to 1/10th of the screen. It's the visual equivalent of a mute button.

That hiding all posts from Shaun King makes my Facebook experience infinitely better. The amount of people I know who think the media is conspiring to make Hillary Clinton president, but think a reporter who is openly biased in favor of Sanders speaks the gospel, is totally staggering.

A stitch in time saves nine. Meaning taking the time to fix a problem now prevents the problem from spiraling out of control so that you have to fix the even bigger problem later. NOT meaning anything about the fabric of time being ripped & needing to be stitched together to prevent the annihilation of the universe.

Bernie losing the black vote, specifically in the south, I sometimes tweet about how he couldn't bother to even stop in Atlanta and have some pulled pork. Sanders is Jewish and might not eat pork.  e; I've known he was jewish but the whole "no pork" thing just never clicked. MariusLecter has a new favorite as of 21:57 on Jun 10, 2016 |
