Yes.
But protections have always been hinky, I had to verify my age with my phone network to browse this forum at one stage a few years ago.

I'm actually for the enforcing the over 18 for the pr0n because kids are getting so fhcked up ideas of what is supposed to go on in the bedroom with such easy access to it, but as Maark says, it will be a bit of a shambles for a while until it gets levelled out

He rips open his shirt, and there's just a huge piece of shit abyss of shit there, bulging, flexing, hulking out to body slam reality... waving the US flag, a role model for myriad bellicose patriotic toddlers.

The prawns, the oysters, and the Mousseline... why don't the priests turn the Body of Go* into those? Too much temptation?

⁹ “‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. ¹⁰ But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. ¹¹ And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. ¹² Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you.

Why would Go* have banned eating shellfish? Obviously, because Go* is a lobster....

But sweet baby Jesus brought the New Covenant, and told people they can now eat shellfish... and they called him Savior.

And said, "Eat my body." Thus, since Go* is (a) shell(game)fish, they ought to be eating shellfish.

Though I'd suppose most Catholic priests are more into tight buns... and big baguettes.

Goddamn prostate making feel I got the clap! Dr put me of Tamsulsin 3 months ago and I feel so much better. Idk if it’s enlarged or was just inflamed but my last attack left me with a red bruise from my right nut to exit hole. I won’t let him stick his finger up said exit hole to check.

Goddamn (Ed) skin cancer! I’m going to get some cuts in Sept. Hey if I die would I be the 1st formite to do so? If so…what an honor that would be!

Would you rather die than let a male doctor stick his finger up your butt? Would it help if he were a hot woman? Or a robot? Maybe if they gave you general anesthesia first?...

Of course I hope you end up being okay. Though we'll all end up dead eventually (probably... even if we become cyborgs, or AI distillations... though information may be indestructible, as it is in our best current theories of physics).

Apologies I could have sworn I put skin before cancer.

Stifler was a cool cat but he can get all the “professional assistance” he can take. I ll pass on it while I have a choice unless I would start seeing blood.

Get the whole hand in there doctor if you need to, prostrate cancers a killer

[Tiste Simeon]

Sounds like the ball in his court now QT. You owned up to your mistake and tried to make it good and he acted like a petulant child about it. I wouldn't try to go after him or further explain yourself now. That would just further solidify the awkwardness and not help the situation. Some people are like that. Fwiw while the original intent was likely genuine, and he possibly was a bit hurt by your reaction, the way he has dealt with it since kind of justifies how you dealt with it at the time.

[Tiste Simeon]

Yeah I don't think so. Admittedly your initial response was not great and I can understand someone getting a bit put out by it. But a normal grown up would get over it even without you then owning it, apologising and trying to make amends.

Some people like to be the victim is all I can think of.

[amphibian]

I don't know the dynamics of the workplace or the work friendship beyond that post, so keep that in mind as you read the following.

For three years or so, this guy was coming over and chatting with you, where you would respond and keep it genial - even with the occasional ick story or talk from him. Then he offers you his number and help when you move to the town he's in, which he knows because you've told him.

Your reaction of not wanting to do that was fine. The response of the weird joke took it from a blunt turn down to something stranger. The apology was fine - but did not come with a "sure, I will be friends with you outside work." I also consider that this guy is the guy who would say the ick stuff and so on.

The ice cold response after is probably the best this particular guy can do. And you do miss the genial talk side, otherwise the story would have been told differently.

Maybe there's room for the finding of an actual work friend who is also an outside friend - although it isn't going to be him for the ick stuff and so on - someday. Good luck.

Not sure if AC, or allergies.

But I caught a cold.
Can't stop sneezing. In the middle of summer heat wave.

This is insanely annoying.

When someone died my community responds in two ways:

A) You bring food to the home of the survivors, the idea being that in their grief they do not have time for the tedium of day to day chores and this is a way to alleviate their burden. Today however more than half my contacts live in different cities or even countries from me. Sending a doordash voucher doesn't seem to carry the same meaning, they could order the food that way anyway. I am just sending cash at that point. Maybe for someone who wouldn't because of the financial burden but I don't think that the case with the vast majority of people I know.

We always say 'we wish you and your family long life'. I used to think that was a common Jewish phrase but its actually rather specific to the South African Jewish community with some small use in the UK too apparently. I think to people not used to hearing it, it actually sounds strange.

So what's a meaningful gesture in this modern world to tell someone 100s of miles away that you care, and are sorry for their loss? I find just saying it feels so cheap and akward. I mean anyone can say anything, an acquutance at the coffee shop could give condolences. Showing up at prayers, a funeral, providing food are tangible gestures but they don't work long distance.

And jetting there and back would be terrible for the environment.

So the solution is to travel there by VR/AR. Maybe give them a robo-hug (eventually brain implants may allow for this to be some sort of personalized sensory imagery... though in the meantime VR/AR, with the aid of AI, will make it relatively easy to create and tweak personalized visual and auditory imagery; implants might allow for direct feeling of emotion---of transmitted emotion, that is).

"Live long and prosper" might seem a bit less weird to more people---for better or worse. Provided you don't say it in Vulcan. (Klingon will certainly be more widely understood... though people who don't know it might understand something other than what you intended.)
