When did septum piercings become big for non-crust-punk women to have? It’s a troubling trend.

I dislike almost all piercings/jewelry, but not in a "ew these are objectively unattractive" or "this labels you as a deviant" kind of way; people can do what they want with their bodies and what they do doesn't have to align with my personal aesthetic preference

It's actually that they just give me major anxiety because of all the potential injuries, no matter how unlikely, freak me out!

Gauges? What if they get caught on something?? Same thing with belly button piercings, hoop earrings, etc.

And rings? Haven't you heard of degloving??? :cry:

I've only seen one episode of SVU. Someone raped a woman with a metal pipe and then smashed her skull with it, or maybe it was the other way around. I was like, they do a new one of these every week? Kinda puts some perspective on all the moral panics over true crime, or the Joker movie or anything else, when this sleazy crap is one of the most successful and long running shows ever.

I caught an episode of SVU and at the time I thought it must've been like, from the last season before they were cancelled and they were just going wild because they knew it didn't matter. But I guess it was from like the middle of the show and was just normal by their standards?

The plot was they find a camera in a public woman's toilet, they arrest the guy who set it up, but then he gives them footage it captured of a boy getting molested, they figure out the molester was his teacher, but then it turns out she only molested him because she had a brain tumor pressing on the molesting parts of her brain, and the moral quandary at the end was whether or not she should be allowed to teach again after she had the tumor removed.

Knew exactly what episode it was at this point.

They also catch her contacting him again and think it wasn't the tumor after all but it was her telling him she's pregnant.

Also she was the principal.

SVU was never cancelled, as far as I know. I checked wikipedia and they're over 500 episodes with the current season being S24 that started september 2022. On a side note, I forgot Lassie had almost 600 episodes. That's nuts.

My girlfriend watches the new SVU every week and has also watched Spotlight an insane number of times for what that movie is. Something about watching the bad sex creeps get caught is very comforting to many people whether it's realistic or utterly insane.

Yeah, Law and Order at some point went from just "Ripped from the Headlines" to "Throw the Headlines in a Blender" or just go crazy. What if one of Bill Cosby's victims killed him? What if Not Governor Abbot's/DeSantis' daughter went to New York and got killed and he made it all about New York crime and immigrants but then it turns out that she was there to get an abortion after they outlawed them and her fundie brother found out and killed her?

And have you heard about these things called roads?? what if a car hits me? Or a bus?? what if I trip on a loose paver and fall under a truck? What if I slip on some soap in the shower?? what if I go to plug something into an outlet and it electrocutes me? what if I don't step off an escalator in time and get shredded? what if a small dog jumps up in a perfect arc and bites me square on the junk??

one time i read about this guy who went for a walk, passed under a tree, and giant branch broke off and squashed him. you can be killed by Anything Anywhere at Any Time. so stop worrying about it. there's such a thing as an excess of caution.

People used to tell me that piercings are a huge liability in a fight because the other person will just rip them out. It's actually the same as someone grabbing your necktie; they're just giving up a hand and letting their guard down to do something useless.

Personally I've avoided having my septum piercing ripped out for 15 years by simply not getting into fights

I posted about it when they were talking about SVU in a previous episode and mocked the one where a teenager ran his own CP website/webring as being super ridiculous but that one was based on a true story that involved Kurt Eichenwald.
