      As long as the pouch on the front isn’t too constricting for my male bits and there isn’t too much material and stitching in the seam underneath, I agree. Just like anything, gotta find the right fit.

        Butt ones as this isn’t Australia, lol. It wasn’t until I was older myself I realized that thong had a different meaning around the world. I remember as a kid taking trips to Australia people used to always call things “thongs” and thought anything of it. As a New Zealander they’ll always be Jandals to me.

      I’m a fat, unsexy dude, I bought a goofy leopard-print thong to get a laugh out of my life wife once

      It’s not my favorite pair of undies by a longshot, I still prefer my usual boxer-briefs, but it’s certainly not uncomfortable. Even wore it to my city’s naked bike ride to bike around in.

        Yeah sure dude, you totally did it cuz it was funny.

        Same here. There not my favourite but there not as bad as people make them out to be. I mostly wear them as men like them. I did a music video a few years back as a backup dancer and I woar one underneath some sweatpants. Maybe it’s because I have histrionic personality disorder but I like to look sexy. Not like a hooker or a stripper but more in a seductive way like a belly dancer or a show girl.

          Small typo in my comment, was supposed to say get a laugh out of my wife

          It served its intended purpose. It was for Valentines or our anniversary or something, so I was waiting in the bed for her to come home in my leopard thong, rose petals scattered around, and some funky 70s porno music playing, and she cracked the fuck up.

              Personally I’ve gone in on Hawaiian shirts, bit less good for a laugh, but still attention grabbing and easier to show off in public. No one wants to see my fat hairy ass sporting a whale tail.

                Just the same, the confidence to wear it in public is what really matters whether you still do or not. When you don’t give a shit, nothing can touch you. Total liberation. Except if there’s kids around. That just feels creepy lol.

    Ok, I don’t like making generalizations, but let’s play the game:

    • Dynamically typed programming languages are for babies.

    • Having depression is not being sad. Having anxiety is not being nervous. Mental health exists and it’s very complex.

    • We should start trating unhealthy use of social media as an actual addiction, and the platforms should be held accountable for the damage they have and still are causing.

    • Sometimes older people have actual knowledge and wisdom that is only gained by experiencing life, and younger people shuld learn to shut the fuck up some times and stop pretending they were born knowing everything.

    My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn’t ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

        Sure. Some people think it’s not necessary to have local anti-discrimination laws against minority groups here. Some people think why should LGBTQ get married in a fucking church, can’t they just sign a paper saying legally they are as good as married without sullying the institution?

    • LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
    • The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
    • Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
    • Having a standard “platform” in Linux is key.
    • SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
    • Apps not using Portals are a crime.

      For the “Midwest”, in my opinion:

      • Ohio is in the Midwest (or at least the places you can order “pop”…maybe this isn’t a thing in Ohio…I don’t know…Ohio sucks…Go Blue)
      • North/South Dakota shouldn’t be

      For the first one… Not sure I get it. It was originally ketchup, and has been predominantly spelled that way for hundreds of years. It was spelled that way before ketchup even had tomato in it.

        It’s not new vs. old. Like many loanwords (hummus, shwarma) there was never one standard English spelling, but multiple phonetic transliterations.

        It’s just that one looks like an adult wrote it and one looks like a child did. It happens that Heinz, when their “57” brand became popular, used the latter spelling, and that spelling became popular along with it. Other brands used different spelling.

      I didn’t even know that “catsup” was an option until now. Where I’m from, we call it “tomato sauce” and “ketchup” is the American word as far as I’ve ever known.

        What I consider ketchup/catsup includes much more sugar and vinegar than what I consider tomato sauce. Is that not the case where you are from or is there a different word used?

          I think that is kinda true. Like, American brands that sell here are branded as “Heinz Ketchup” for example. And it’s definitely more processed or whatever. But I feel like most people would still say “pass the tomato sauce”, or if they say ketchup it’s in a joking way. I couldn’t speak for my whole country though.

            I’ve never once heard anyone call it tomato sauce in my neck of the woods in america. It’s always been ketchup.

            I live in Pittsburgh however, Heinz is headquartered here and the factory is still operational downtown. Hell, the Steelers football field was called Heinz Field and had giant ketchup bottles by the scoreboards up until a couple years ago.

            Must be a regional thing.

            I suppose the context of condiment vs. ingredient is enough. I don’t think many recipes use ketchup/catsup and most meals don’t leave tomato sauce out to be used as a condiment.

              I feel like maybe some more context I could add is that we have “tomato sauce” that’s pretty similar to ketchup. Comes in a bottle to pour from and is one of the most regularly used sauces. Still processed I guess but thicker and better tasting and definitely not as sweet as the American stuff. As opposed to tomato paste or tinned tomato or whatever.

      Question about the first one. Do you consider English a living language that evolves over time?

      To that point, do you ever phonetically say boatswain instead of bosun? Which way do you spell it? How do you (personally) pronounce Worcestershire sauce? How do you feel about onomatopoeias in general?

      I would argue that words evolve with vernacular and sometimes the spellings become antiquated. In the case of Worcestershire sauce, pronunciation can vary greatly from spelling. If ketchup bothers you, are onomatopoeias even words to you?

      Eventually, insisting on the old spelling becomes more ridiculous than going with the newer. Since you spell it catsup, can you bring yourself to use a squeeze bottle for it or are you still tapping that 57 hoping to get it to ooze?

      Seriously though, since this is the hill you’ll die on, convince me otherwise about vernacular and spelling.

        a living language

        Yes

        do you ever phonetically say boatswain instead of bosun?

        I never have occasion to say either.

        How do you pronounce Worcestershire sauce?

        Wursht-uh-shur

        How do you feel about onomatopoeias in general?

        Love 'em. My current favorite is “shakshuka”.

        are onomatopoeias even words to you?

        yeah, by definition

        insisting on the old spelling becomes more ridiculous than going with the newer

        Given the choice between looking ridiculous to others and feeling ridiculous to myself, I will always choose the former.

        can you bring yourself to use a squeeze bottle for it or are you still tapping that 57

        They’re not mutually exclusive. I also use packets and those giant pump containers.

        convince me otherwise about vernacular and spelling

        I’m not interested in convincing you away from a position with which I agree almost completely. Words change, language evolves, slang becomes informal speech becomes recognized usage. Some changes are improvements, some are not, but neither you or I have much hope of shifting the tide either way. While my time lasts, though, I’ll keep spelling the vinegary condiment as “catsup” and the pastry as “doughnut” and the cultured dairy as “yoghurt”.
