Things You Pondered Today

[oyolar]

Why would anyone shave before? Hot water opens your pores. So shaving is easier/smoother.then use cold water to rinse/close your pores to stop zits/make the bleeding stop faster.

I've actually started shaving with cold water lately and I find that I get a much closer shave without any cuts or irritation afterwards.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

My sink dispenses hot water as well.. But I do it before because after my shower the mirror is too steamy.  Plus it's easier to just shower off the excess shaving cream.

You can put a drop of shaving cream on your finger and wipe it across the mirror and it keeps t from steaming up, but I see your point too.


Here is what I have been pondering lately: I heard somebody say that soda is the number 1 cause of obesity. I think that's bullshit. I'm not saying drinking a bunch of soda won't make you a fat fuck, because it will. Still, I say either the car or electricity has got to be the number one cause of obesity. If you had to walk everywhere you wanted to go, do laundry by hand, run to the market every day for food because you didn't have refrigeration and do all of the rest of the work that electricity does for you, not to mention the fact that you couldn't pass time watching TV, playing video games or surfing the internet, there s no way anybody would be obese.

I heard the reasoning behind "soda makes your fat" is because of all the fructose and calories in it - soda manufacturers use high-fructose corn syrup for the sweetener rather than regular sugar, as it's cheaper to due US corn subsidies. The "empty" calories have no benefit to the body (fruit has fructose as well, however it also has many other beneficial nutrients), and the surge in blood sugar level as a result of consumption can leave the body tired and even more hungry, causing you to eat more. 

the other theory is the way that the body digests fructose, and how it differs markedly from glucose digestion. something about fructose going straight to the liver and putting strain for it to be processed, whereas glucose can be metabolised anywhere in the body. I don't believe there's ever been concrete evidence that fructose = obesity, but the theory seems to be widely regarded as truth if you look at any nutrition guide. 

european countries have cars and electricity, but dont have the obesity problem. going backwards and making things harder as in the "good old days" seems to be a strange panacea to revert to.

p.s. australia has cars and electricity and a shitload of soda, apparently we're the fattest nation in the world.  number one, baby!

Is it gay to get turned on when a guy cums a lot in porn?

Reading this i realized something. At the and of a scene when a dude comes i hate it when he jacks himself of.
When a girl gives him a handjob and he cums explosively over her body or face and you see she's liking it I'm turned on. But when she's scared or disgusted i don't like it. Guess im really picky.

[Human Onion]

^ haha. No, you're not.

We do use our bikes a lot here in europe -- yes, I'm speaking for the whole of Europe.

[Stoeipoes]

^ haha. No, you're not.

The netherlands is the bike country of the world. Everyone has a bike in here and there are more bikes than people.

It's because it's almost flat so you don't have large hills to upwards on.

[Human Onion]

Denmark is not far behind. A country that's also very flat. Someone told me that danish skaters in general skate slower than norwegian - Norway is full of hills, danes like calling norwegians fjellaber(mountain apes). I like to think there's something to it -- well, I'm Norwegian.

[Useful Idiot]

I got a sticky mirror in the shower so I shave in there so yea, I'm back the pores thing as well.


How come when Discovery Channel is taking about dinosaurs that live in the ocean, the call them Sea Monsters, but the ones that live on land are just dinosaurs.

Living in the ocean doesn't make you a monster. Granted, it's scary as fuck when something brushes your leg, but still....

[Joe Pesci]

about the porn thing... i never like watching a dude get himself off on a girls face or anything. its pretty much watching a dude beat off, which i also dont understand... i always felt the purpose of doing shit with girls was so you didnt have to actually do it yourself

[BuddyPal]

do they sterelize lethal injections?

[Human Onion]

Pondering quitting my job and selling my tiny flat and go travelling for a couple of years. I wanna see America, South America, maybe Africa too. So tired of living in Norway. My life is going nowhere. Six months of winter sucks. It is not a very sensible thing to do. I might  come back all broke and with nothing to show for - that's very likely actually. But maybe I'll have the time of my life, and it it will all be worth it - coming back to nothing. There is so much adventure to be had. Maybe it will inspire me to write a book, a bestseller, no less. Ha! Maybe I'll meet the woman of my dreams. You never know?! I guess I'm a romantic.  

[Zurg]

doesnt seem like youre hanging on to too much at home. might as well do it

[oyolar]

Last I heard, they do.

And Human Onion--if that's being a romantic, then I'm one too.

I've done it twice now, Australia in 09, South America last year, came back pretty broke both times.  And I don't regret a single thing.  You only the regret the trips you never took.

The fucking truth right here

[sleepypancakes]

This is going to be a bit awkward, but Slap is a decently open place...

How to come out to my parents...

[Killyourdreams]

for real?

[sleepypancakes]

for real?

....yeah for real. shits harder than it sounds

[Bug]

I have lots of gay friends, and the thing is that when they did eventually come out, their parents already knew. Chances are yours already do too, and it won't be as hard as you think. Just go to whichever you get on better with, or both and simply say it. Unless they are narrow minded homophobic fucks, they'll still love you.

[Killyourdreams]

...sooo question, have you always been gay?

I was faced with same decision once and I decided to go for it. Five year later im still out and about in the world at large. Met a girl, she broke my heart. im a permenant resident of another country now. I have seen so many wonderfull things and met so many close friends. everything I own still fits in my backpack and yet I feel at home.

Do it, do it now and never look back.

And sleepypancakes, If you have any uncles or aunts or even close family friends you can go to for advice this can be a really helpfull first step, take some of the pressure off the big coming out andget some much needed insight into how your parents might react. Even if they love and support you fully the initial news could illicit some upsetting behaviour.

Do you live with your parents? If so, just bring a dude back to your place and make it so your parents walk in on you guys doing the deed, and just be like, "Ooops. I'm gay!"

[sleepypancakes]

...sooo question, have you always been gay?

I figured out for myself my senior year in high school and knew for sure, but I had wondered. I of course did the whole trying with girls thing and even had girlfriends for long periods of time. I was never that into it and realized that I wasn't bi or anything and just felt right and normal and like myself with other men.

Hahahah this actually almost happened when they came to visit, their plane came in early and my boyfriend at the time was over sitting on the couch right after the uh, deed, and I was a bit shocked. But a movie was on so I played it off as a friend of mine.

[Killyourdreams]

Oh jeez..Well the good thing is they probably know, the bad news is you need to give
yourself an std test every month, and use binaca on a regular basis.

sleepypancakes should be able to help you to get over that problem.

best of luck to your coming out by the way, i hate the fact that sexuality is such a big thing in society. i am hetero, but i think it shouldnt bother anyone what kind of gender i love. and i think that most parents love their children no matter what kind of partner they choose. even if they maybe wont admit it at first.
