Hooray! 🙌🏻

Came to say, touch grass. Get a job, get busy. Clean your home (I sure need to!), tidy up your corner of the world & exert positive control over things you can control. If you can’t control it, please, don’t worry about it.

You can’t paint the Mona Lisa with crayons.

Kind of related to yours, “You’re putting lipstick on a pig”

I came here to recommend sugar granules; it’s a gentle adhesive. I used it before, successfully, on a flash drive.

This print looks a little different, though. As somebody else said, a tight cohesion? Idk. I just know starting with sugar granules will definitely not damage your case.

All fair points, I guess. Dictionary for gore, blood that is shed, murder/bloodshed/violence etc. So I suppose it does technically meet the threshold for gore, even though it is just audio. Subject involves gore.

Well it all goes bad anyway, it’s just good to clean up. I do not use antiperspirants, I don’t like the idea of shoving stuff into my pores to block bodily functions. Those are kind of addictive, like if you’re on them & don’t use them, sometimes I feel like the problem is even worse. Like your body is purging because you stopped it up with aluminum.

I used antiperspirants until late HS, early college; it stained, discolored my shirts. I stopped using antiperspirant, and the staining stopped, too.

That’s interesting. I avoid ads…so I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. I think my balls get a bit of a smell after a day, but like a nice, mild balls smell. My pits, man, my fucking pits…they go rancid in about a day’s time, definitely in 2-3. Simply stating as a matter of fact, gotta deal with my pits before my balls.

I had problems with your link, looks like https:// got duplicated & you need to follow the link with a “?&t=” . I fixed it, below.

Enough of the suggestions appear to be good; I’m going to say one that I don’t think has been mentioned yet - - St. Jude. They help kids with cancer & their families, so they can get treatment without paying anything out of pocket. And I mean ANYTHING.

Families with young kids tend to be on the poor side. Cancer hits them like a ton of bricks; they can’t afford this expense. St. Jude pays for transport, puts the family up while they treat the children. So much money is given to the kids & their families.

It’s not all altruism & butterflies, though! It’s also just…fucking smart & helping to refine modern medicine. Millions of USD goes into R&D, working to treat & cure cancer, in kids. Hopefully creating tech, methods that benefit us ALL. There is no downside to donating to St. Jude.

Get an electric toothbrush, Oral-B is great, don’t feel pressured to get top of the line & Costco has a sale on mid-tier Oral-B 2-pks a few times a year. Get 2 VERY good toothbrushes + a few spare heads for $65.

I have a very specific answer that has worked for me, and I one that hasn’t been said yet. 🙂 Despite prolonged attempts to stop plaque build-up, brushing extensively, mouthwashes, it kept happening. Until I got ProDentim.

I get the “real deal” from their website. It is very expensive, and they look so scammy, too. Their website has a scary countdown timer for their limited-time offer (that always resets, is always active) & they ply you to buy more post-purchase at a deeper discount. It’s tacky AF, I hate it, but the product does work.

ProDentim is based on the idea of replacing the bad bacteria in your mouth with good bacteria. Get your mouth right & it can help take care of itself. It is very expensive…but I figured, so are dental problems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ After being on ProDentim for a month, I noticed the following:

My gums are healthier, maybe a little stronger. Not swollen. I had a WEIRDLY sensitive tooth, that issue is now gone. My ‘baseline’ for my breath doesn’t smell nearly as bad, it’s all but neutral. And yes, the plaque just doesn’t seem to stick around or build up. Sometimes for days or up to an entire week+ after ceasing ProDentim, yes, I stopped just because I was curious to see how long the plaque shedding would last. That & it’s expensive enough, so rationing it out for effectiveness seems wise.

I talked with my friend recently. I fed it to him, too, without telling him it was “bacteria”. He said, and I quote, “I feel like it’s helped me as well I have no tooth pain and ya sensitivity to cold is almost gone.”

If you really heavily use ProDentim & replace the active bacterial flora in your mouth, gums I can only imagine some positive effects will be more or less permanent. The bacteria in the candies become…your…mouth bacteria. If you try it please write me back & lmk what you think. 🙂

If you’re still reading, here is my exact method I used: I did 2 candies instead of one, morning AND night, for a month. They say to “let the candy melt in your mouth” and that’s it, I say fuck that! I paid for this bacteria, I want to get my money’s worth. I let my saliva build up & fill my mouth, I swish that double dose of bacteria around my teeth & gums for 10, 20, 30 mins. Literally. I do not care, I want that bacteria to be seeded in my body, I give it time. And yeah, ever since late August when I started, my teeth feel fantastic. Even when I lax in my routine, I feel like my baseline is so solid. It’s like how some people have a better mouth without trying? I think I have some of that now. I’ve procured & cultivated the correct mouth bacteria for that to occur.

The poll/voting process is flawed & I don’t like that.

That said, idk, I’m a blue collar working adult & the aux/wired connection isn’t a necessity in my daily life. I can often, if not always, blast my music on an Ion loudspeaker. Car has Bluetooth. Home, I’ve got Bluetooth.

But that’s just not the point for me; my phone has an aux port & I rarely use it. Used it to connect headphones on a walk last week. It’s nice & I like having the option. Getting rid of it was purely an anti-consumer move, so needless, and obviously they can build it into the phones without detracting from battery or taking away from water resistance. Everything I’ve heard justifying removing aux is either a lie or an excuse.

• I just discovered that my phone sometimes autocorrects “Apple” to “asshole.” Fun.

I mean same difference, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the US - - taxes.

Things used to be a lot simpler & cheaper in the US, but then we passed the War Revenue Act in 1917 which drastically increased the budget & helped to pay for the war. They probably saw all that money rolling in & got greedy. What was initially designed as a war-time fund raising effort is now just standard taxation, it has gotten worse, and the people being born & working & dying nowadays don’t know anything different.

The government wastes so much money. Whose money? They don’t have any money! They’re wasting our money, that they extract from us via taxation.

We are financially raped into the ground, not allowed to enjoy the fruits of our own labor.

And too much penis
