If you were dating an object that was hand crafted by your father or mother, would you be squicked?

It’s like Chik-Fil-A: “stop repressing us by calling us out for using our position of social influence to be a massive bag of penes to those with significantly less influence.”

Anyone else think that cucumber girl and hand dipped guy were meant for each other. I’m just imagining them on a date somewhere that serves “made-from-scratch” biscuits and “scalloped” potatoes.

Problem with that: the rest of us remain under Scott. I’d emigrate to “most Florida” and buy a houseboat in a heartbeat in this situation.

As a Florida native, I can tell you it’s only a matter of time before the heat and humidity fry your sense of shame and you decide that being Florida is pretty fun. I’d give you three more summers before you’re duking it out with the father of the guy who tagged your friend’s son out at a little league game, or…

Never bring an AH-64 to a fistfight.

When you go somewhere to engage in mutual objectification, objectifying behaviour looks sexy.

Slight disagreement:

Minor quibble/question: is it appriate to call OnePunch Man Murata's given that the story is basically lifted from a previously made webcomic and put together with significantly better illustrations? I'm not aware enough to know if manga are traditionally known by the artist instead of the storyteller if the two are…

Fight the power!

I love Mushishi, but I'm not sure I would recommend it as a first anime for the average person. The episodic nature of the arcs and lack of an obvious overarching storyline might be a turnoff for someone not used to to it.

Why would you stop at staring?

The first child of that union has to be named Randy/Randi- has to be.

Things that make (relationships) LIFE awesome. But replace gin with whiskey.

Agree on that, for sure.

Yeah that was extreme. Theres definitely plenty of cases of doctors just not believing patients- and I would guess primarily women. But that's not the case with Morgellons. It's literally diagnosed as a psychosomatic issue and people refuse the diagnosis.

This isn’t “hysteria” and it’s not the drug war. Opiods for long term pain management have come under fire recently from the medical and scientific community, because they simply are not effective in a large number of cases.

That’s the thing though. It’s not even the medical community that’s the problem. The brain is stupid-complicated and hard to study, so it’s less well understood than the pancreas, for instance. If you really look at where we are with respect to mental health, we’ve gotten past “God is smiting you” and we’re into…

Other than "trend toward black and see through and vague expression of an ill defined aesthetic that probably only exists once you realize these people were at Coachella" I'm not even sure I buy the "sameness" of the outfits.

Crackpot Internet theory: you know the gate control theory of pain? Same for itching. If you cut your leg open you don’t notice the minor abrasion you had on your knee (gate control theory is really about other signals crowding out pain, so I’m stretching here). But both are still sending signals to the brain that say…
