If you are fine with being circumcised, that seems like the best possible outcome and I'm glad you are happy with your body in that way. However, many people were circumcised and are not fine with it. After all, it is a choice made for them without their consent. Also, it shouldn't matter what women prefer. It should be your body, your choice. If someone wants to get circumcised later in life, that is their choice.

School speed limits are unnecessarily complicated. So many times I'll pass a school speed limit sign and sometimes it's just "while flashing" which is easy to understand quickly. However, other times it has in very small print conditions such as during certain times or during weekdays or even the really vague "when children present". Sometimes I won't notice all of the print before I pass the sign, so I'll just do the slower school speed limit and the driver behind me starts tailgaiting me because I'm going under the limit. So I suggest instead of having these limits be conditional school speed limits, they should just be the normal limits all the time. It wouldn't hurt people to slow down when kids aren't present, so just make the speed limit reduced all the time on roads around the school. Additionally, if this was the case, drivers would be used to going slow and wouldn't forget to slow down during school hours

Whenever I'm driving, I appreciate a good traffic delay, as long as it doesn't make me late. I tend to leave at a time where I'll be 20 minutes early if I need to be somewhere, so a modest delay for traffic just adds some extra excitement to my day. I love examining the traffic shockwaves caused by road work and such as well. I look forward to my morning traffic now that a road I drive on is a work zone.

Additionally, traffic is just super cool and human. Its the perfect balance between predictable and unpredictable. Also when I'm in really dense traffic I enjoy hanging out with all the other cars too, like I have some (very temporary) friends. and when I exit the highway, I always tell the traffic still on it "goodbye, have a nice day!" even though they can't hear me

lastly, when I get somewhere on time despite the traffic, it feels so good. It energizes me and makes me feel like I've gone on a grand adventure. Sometimes I'll even take detours through the gravel county roads and such and that makes for quite a wild adventure as these often get backed up as well when others have the same idea as me.

edit: by within reason I mean like a 10-30 minute delay. Additionally, I'm not a huge fan of congestion on roads with traffic signals, but on the motorway where we're all going 5-20 mph consistently its fun

It has no additional flavor other than adding sweetness. I would rather have no syrup than "fake" pancake syrup (e.g. Ms Butterworths).

I much prefer maple syrup. Of course it is expensive, so the Log Cabin table syrup is a good substitute that still has actual flavor and is affordable.

Edit: Also if you still want maple flavor for cheaper, a mix of half maple and half cane works good, like the stuff at Cracker Barrel. It doesn't deserve the hate.

For me it's calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

I discovered a while back that my Garmin GPS keeps track of everywhere I go automatically when it is turned on. I found this article about how I could easily copy the gpx files from it onto a computer. I like to hoard the gpx files it produces. I found a website called dérive which can show hundreds of gpx tracks on an OpenStreetMap background. It's super interesting to look at and see everywhere I've drove in the world. Additionally, the gpx tracks are useful for OpenStreetMap editing.

Yeah I think it's best we don't advertise this place. It's a little strange.

“It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement

so Biden created a bad situation for him in 4 years, yet he thinks Trump needs 8 years to undo it. Sounds like a skill issue to me.

Of course you'll have a better time talking about gender with other gender enthusiasts. It's like complaining about how normies can't have a conversation with you about cars for as long as car enthusiasts could.

Worse case scenario, we gotta make an extension that detects the ad UI and blanks the screen and mutes the audio until its over

Their AI chatbot has a name suspiciously close to Aryan, and it's trained to deny the holocaust.

Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

Clearly you don't own an air fryer

You have to be very brave to download that browser

A sad reminder that transphobia and other forms of hate affect us all, not just the ones who are primarily targeted.
