I ground mine into dust. I went to bite a crunchy protruberance on a chicken nugget but I guess my tooth snapped immediatelly and what I thought was the crispy bit was my tooth and I had to grind it into dust. Didn't notice until I took a swig of coke and my mouth felt weird.

Late to charity chat, but, depending on your definition, charity as a concept is good, but charities are a shitshow. First, there is an inverse relationship between income and percentage spent on charity, so it operates as a regressive tax, like the lottery. The majority of charities are barely concealed scams and any that are good are stuck in an advertising war with every other, wasting donations. The widely varying donations also cause greater inefficiency, as often people with necessary training cannot he kept around reliably. However, charity and generosity is good. Help people whenever you can, in whatever way you think you can, even while keeping an eye on the need for massive change, and work toward that too.

Gonna be straight with you: I've never heard of Umberto Eco before now and had to Google the legible text in that gif to find out where it comes from.

Did you read the essay? It's pretty short and self-explanatory.

It's almost an inside joke. The phrase gets a lot of use in D&D and the reason it quickly becomes illegible is because the people using it see "Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus" already know what the rest of it is saying and so don't actually need to see it.

Ah that makes more sense, thanks.

In his essay about fascism, Eco describes the fact that the enemy of the regime needs to be presented as very powerful so as to instill fear in the people, but at the same time completely pathetic, so that the people can feel superior to it.

Picture conspiracy theorists who say that the government is all powerful and malevolent, but at the same time all conspiracies have huuuuge obvious flaws in them. The government is at the same time omnipotent and impotent, therefore :eco:

How would you even measure the circumference of a vagina considering it will stretch and flex depending on what's going on inside it? :psyduck:

"tallchad" is not entirely off the mark. It's called a husband's stitch, and it has been used in the past, and probably still gets performed. There don't appear to be any studies on the prevalence of the procedure, and I imagine that there probably won't be too many doctors willing to admit that they performed an unnecessary procedure without consent.

I like how a woman has to have 20 opposite-sex partners before we start seeing a significant difference in vaginal circumference. According to the most recent data, the median number of opposite-sex partners for sexually-experienced American women aged 25-44 is 4.2, while only 10.1 percent of sexually-experienced women aged 15-44 have had 15 or more opposite-sex partners: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/n.htm

So I'd imagine that these boys believe that a woman who has had sex exactly once with each of 30 partners would have a bigger "circumference" than a woman who's had sex thousands of times with one man.

For anyone curious, everything in the source is fake (author, date, title). The link is to a study about vaginal dimensions with no mention of sexual partners having an effect.

Those boys know that some of those partners probably had bigger dicks than they do. Probably a lot of those partners. So many guys have bigger dicks and that's bad because it makes them feel inferior ruins vaginae.
