  • Why is bicycle riding so controversial in America?

    Jump

  • No, that explanation fails on the face of it. If that were the case, then why the furious opposition whenever such infrastructure is proposed?

  • What's your least favorite type of question to see asked in these types of communities?

    Jump

  • In general, the "what's your favorite [x]?" questions, where [x] is movie, album, game, or the like. Few people share anything about the title, or why it's meaningful to them, and very little discussion ensues, because, what's to talk about? It just tends to result in a list of media (most of which I've heard of) connected to screen names of people I don't know. Not usually worth reading.

  • I'm forced by the government to give up a bunch of money so that people can feel important rolling around in their $50,000 toys with heated seats and entertainment systems, while simultaneously destroying the planet.

  • What's your favorite thing about your hobby?

    Jump

  • Sailing, because it's dozens of hobbies in one: It's a competitive sport either with a team or solo, or it can be a relaxing diversion, or it can be a terrifying personal challenge. It can encompass skills such as sewing, woodworking, machining, plumbing, physics, mathematics, design, navigation, radio communication, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, environmental sciences, electronics/electrical engineering, history, linguistics, culinary skills, and more. You can basically always be thinking about it!

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • It's no use. Resistance is futile.

    When did Politics become "Your Thing"

  • This is kind of like asking a man being attacked by a bear, "When did bears become your whole thing?"

  • What are things you know because of your personal interests that most people have no idea about ?

  • The land-value tax is the only fair tax, after all.

  • Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?

    Jump

  • I don't have to try, since here you're claiming that hospitals in countries with brown-skinned people are substandard and unhygienic.

  • Not a myth, I've seen it.

    And she was not one of the grossest humans alive, but just had some hangups about "down there" that kept her from washing her vulva well.

  • Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?

    Jump

  • And then there are people who envision all brown-skinned people as performing FGM with a piece of broken glass in a grass hut, when in fact, most instances of it are also hospital-performed medical procedures.

  • It's not controversial to say that women differ sexually, right? For example, some women can orgasm from penetration alone, and others need more-direct clitoral stimulation. Everybody knows this, or should know this.

    Would it be controversial to claim that, hey, perhaps men differ, too? What if we're not exaggerating how much of a difference it makes? There are intact men right here in this discussion who say that most of their sensation comes from their foreskin, and they don't feel much from their glans. It would destroy their enjoyment of sex to cut it off, even while many men wouldn't notice much change, because most of their sensation comes from the glans.

    Jump

  • id rather bust fast than not be sensitive down there

    For what it's worth, my friend tells me that in his experience, intact men have better awareness and control of their level of stimulation, and therefore last longer.

  • More for folks from walkable environments, my question is: would you walk an hour and 15 minutes to go to say, the library?

    Jump

  • Hmm, yes, I guess I forgot about anthropology's Out of Africa (In a Minivan) hypothesis on the origin of the human species.

    Why don't protestors who oppose Trump/ICE open carry their guns to prevent what's currently occuring in the US ie kidnapping, assaults etc?

  • How do you organize an armed group that's big enough to be effective without the fascists hearing about it in advance?

  • No, we don't forget that! What, you think we're idiots? In fact, we are able to distinguish the difference between logistics vehicles and people moving about in individual vehicles. Those are two very different things. A dozen or so semis to the grocery store every day is a far sight different than thousands of cars.

    Walkable cities around the world still have stores. And vehicles. It's not that hard.

    Not only do we humans have a common ancestor with primates still living in trees, we have a common ancestor with the trees.
