    I ordered a sex toy once to a communal place I was living. Okay fine it was a buddhist temple.

    The website said they’d use discreet packaging. NOPE. Their box was labeled and even had a logo for their company, which sells nothing but sex toys.

    Their idea of “discreet packaging” was that the box was regular brown cardboard, so that anyone observing from fifty feet away wouldn’t be able to see that it was anything special.

    I chewed out their support staff on the phone. For fuck’s sake.

    I think this needs to be asked, how well would that vehicle perform in a wind tunnel, compared to a Bulbasaur?

    Discrete packaging always reminds me how a bicycle company made their shipping boxes look like smart TVs so package handlers wouldn’t break them.

      If a bicycle can’t handle being shipped I’m failing to understand how it can it handle being ridden…

        They’re designed for impacts in mostly one direction. Your knees can run just fine, but a kick to the side and you can easily destroy them.

              The head is pretty much made to take a beating and protect the brain as much as possible, so I don’t see any single direction it would be better at but of course the forehead is better than the other parts. Maybe headbutting played a role in evolution?

              Shoulders, from what I see, as long as you keep the muscles tight (and not get tired doing so), should give similar results in all directions, though having the impact taken by the limbs first, would significantly reduce direct damage to the joint.
