Oi, 'ands up, and pass over all your djectives, mate.

Shit, I’ve been banned from lemmy communities for comments that I don’t even think of as being that dark. Reddit too. You don’t see as much death and misery as I saw without developing some level of gallows humor.

But the shit I got banned for was me self checking. Minimising the extremity of it. Tweaking the phrasing so it should have been obvious it was dark humor (not that anyone had to find it funny, but it was pretty fucking obvious it was dark humor).

There’s maybe three people I’ve ever known that have been around my darkest humor and not freaked out a little. One of those still needed to state they weren’t okay with it, but recognised it as dark humor.

Only people that I’ve had extended interactions with that really got the darkest stuff and laughed too were also people that have seen what real darkness is and recognize that finding a way to laugh at it is the only way you keep from breaking entirely.

Truth be told, that entirely is doing a lot of work there. Some shit breaks you, and not all the mental superglue in the world will fix it. But dark humor is good glue. It holds shit into one piece instead of destroying you, and I reckon that anyone that doesn’t get that isn’t worth my time and energy anyway

True, but the light will still be subpar compared to a light designed from the ground up to use leds at least, that’s been the case with all the maglite led replacements I’ve tried

Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they’re near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they’re not in frame as much, and shouldn’t be without a good reason.

Everything on screen is a compromise of some sort.

I looked it up

Seems like a nothing burger

I don’t bargain, pumpkin fucker

Totally undull, totally nsfw tangent

Back in the day, electric toothbrushes were popular among the local lesbian population.

Apparently, when modified, one could fit them into a strap rig and use them between other lips. I had one used to jokingly threaten me once. It was… intimidating

Assuming that’s real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich

It’s those layers

Every day? Even back when I could cook that would be a no. Because that’s not a relationship, that’s a job.

I’m fine with being a SAH h/d. Hell, if I were a dad in that situation it would be amazing to have the freedom to be there every day, at least until the teenage years hit and the kid/s would be branching out into the first stages of their own lives. Being a dad that is disabled was better than being a dad that couldn’t be at home because he was a wage slave. So being healthy and having that freedom too? Sign me up.

But the way the meme makes it out, that’s just a job. Might still be a good relationship, but once obligations at that scale start creeping in, relationships can crumble faster than people can patch them up.

That being said, I fucking loved cooking for my people. So I would still do it every chance I got in that situation. Just couldn’t let it be some kind of transactional shit.

I dunno that I’m seeing a predominance of elbows in media tbh.

That being said, throw elbows!

Generally, you want to hit soft with hard, and hard with soft.

Unless it’s elbows. You really aren’t going to injure an elbow on a skull the way you would a fist or foot. Might not feel good, but it ain’t gonna break.

The drawback is that you gotta get closer with elbows. Doing that vs someone you’re not familiar with can backfire when they throw some stripe of jujutsu on your ass. So, you know, don’t get jitzed. Mind you, elbows are faster in close, so they’re harder to counter when grappling, so enough training vs grapplers, and you end up with an advantage.

So, I’m saying: cross train with resistive partners.

Nah, it can be annoying, but cross posting is a good thing. It decentralizes content. Not all instances are federated with all the others. Multiple communities is healthy for the fediverse. So cross posting is also healthy. Yeah, it would be nice if there was a way to collapse cross posts, but I’d rather deal with it than have things get too narrow.

Now post flooding? That can get old fast. Chill. Spread that shit out. We ain’t gotta see it all at once.

Yeah, almost guaranteed. Won’t necessarily offer it as a service, though the vast majority should. But any proper professional would know what it is, and likely know how.

There’s some degree of variation in techniques, but that is likely what you were getting. Deep tissue can outright hurt, but the goal is to get into the muscles where hard tension is and unkink it. It uses steady, usually slow, but forceful pressure to really get past the surface.

Which is why not everyone will offer it. It is very demanding for the practitioner, and patients may or may not actually want it, and just think they do lol. My hands can’t do it any more. Hell, I can’t always pull off the easier stuff. Arthritis sucks lol.

Well, there’s different kinds of massage.

The generic spa-style massage is more about relaxation, and is done in a setting that shifts the context to being fairly impersonal.

More medically focused, or sports focused (lot of overlap there) massage is being done with a goal in mind, usually in a setting that also makes it feel less intimate than it might otherwise (even with the same technique involved).

Just as an example, I trained up in a handful of massage methods over the years. Lymphatic release, myofascial release, deep tissue, a variant of shiatsu, and the bog standard “just rub the muscles that are tense” kind that isn’t really a technique/style at all. What would be used depended on my patients’ needs and preferences.

Deep tissue, I really never broke out on patients though. A few, but it was rare. That was more for friends that were in need due to muscle issues.

Myofascial release is superb for people with reduced mobility and/or spacicity since out favors fairly gentle pressure that directly unloads where the muscles connect.

Your lymphatic release is also low pressure, and is kind of the default for both a post-workout massage as well as geriatric patients and bedbound patients. It focuses on moving your juices along to the center of the body sp that associated buildup of wastes will be enhanced

But what remains true is that most massage is best done on bare skin. Not all benefit from lubricants though. Myofascial release, in particular, becomes more difficult and> less effective because you really need to be able to apply focused pressure without movement as part of what you’re doing.

Minors can’t waive rights. Or, in theory they can’t waive rights because they don’t have capacity. That’s my understanding

In that first pic , both of them look like they’re trying to get away from her

Ngl, I’m not sure I want to lean against walls either. Public toilets rarely have lids, and even less often are they used when they do have them. So you’ve got the usual aerosolized poo water landing everywhere.

But I agree that good hand washing fixes half of the problem. The half being trying to aim a penis one handed, then zip up one handed too. I can aim one handed, not so much the zipping lol.

Truth be told though, the types of pathogens involved are fairly low, and they don’t all survive well on hard surfaces. But they aren’t non existent, and the ones that will transfer that way tend to be the worse ones. Enough so that I don’t blame anyone for being upset at a pissy seat, much less a crappy crapper.

Yo! Bif Naked ftw!

Been a fan since the Buffy appearance lol.

It supposedly has an edge in terms of pulling out oils in particular.

My problem is that, as you said, it’s harder to find, and I have a limitation in what I can use to begin with.

I can’t say, when I have used a powder vs a liquid in the past that the difference is so significant that I would bother to hunt down a powder that also fits my niche needs. But if you’re not limited, I would say it’s worth it on average

You know the one-onehundred counting thing that approximates a second? Just say/think the word one, it approximates a quarter second.
