  • First, never take internet answers as fact, because skipping talking to a lawyer can end up making you need a lawyer.

    That being said, while Florida has switched to no permit needed in state, as long as you carry and present on demand a legal ID, that does not extend out of state. You still need that permit for reciprocity.

    I had heard that the backlog of old applications was moving along better there because there’s less applications now, leaving more manpower to handle things.

    However, if you’re fucking with cops, you’re going to get fucked by cops. Remember, open carry is still illegal, and you must present ID on demand if carrying concealed. Just the permit isn’t enough. Iirc, you also have a duty to notify when carrying, so it isn’t like you only have to deal with it if they ask if you’re armed.


  • I’m not even aware of a scientific definition of nostalgia, or any way to verify detect its presence. Which means that afaik, there’s no way to know what they do and don’t experience in that regard.

    However, I’ve been around a lot of dogs over the years. One of the things that’s pretty consistent is that, while their memory is better than they get credit for, they don’t seem to have emotional responses to memory when it isn’t trauma related.

    In other words, they don’t exhibit behaviors to indicate that they’re thinking about the past when engaging with something in the present. They seem to live in the present until and unless something happens that sets off a fear response related to past events.

    That being said, I have also had a dog react strongly when the name of another animal was used in their presence, when that other animal was no longer in their life. The dog in specific that I saw this in would spend time after hearing the name looking for the missing animal, and eventually settle down extra close to people and exhibit behaviors that mimic sadness behaviors when humans do them. But it never insured lasted for long, and anything positive at all would break them out of it immediately.

    That isn’t the same as nostalgia. I’m using it as an example of why I don’t think they experience nostalgia. But it also points to them having a much deeper set of memories than we usually think of them as having.



  • Eh, no more than hitting buying products from any multinational corporations. It really doesn’t matter where a company is based or started from, once you get into the kind of upper end of money where there’s billionaires involved, they’re fucking around everywhere.

    You’d need to boycott every company that’s publicly traded to be able to use it as an attack vector against billionaire driven fascism.

    The way those big corporations and conglomerates are set up means you can’t just pick out the brands that are US based and assume it isn’t going to line the proverbial pockets of those assholes. Partaking in any brand that isn’t very limited in distribution and reach is eventually going to end up in oligarch hands. Even that’s no guarantee you aren’t sending money their way eventually, it just won’t be immediate.


  • Look, I gotta be real here.

    I’m not sure why, but your ability to write things that can be understood is not great.

    I’ve been going though the things you linked, other comments and such, and it’s a jumbled mess. I know that’s not going to be easy to take without it feeling like some kind of attack, but there it is.

    I run into a problem where something works right in my head, but once it’s out loud or on screen, it doesn’t scan right. Normally I’ll go through and edit things into a better state, but even that doesn’t work out every time, and I’m a published author. So I completely get where you’re doing your best and it’s just not working. Langage be herd to rite, you dig?

    I’m coming into this with wanting to give the benefit of the doubt, and maybe figure out what the issue is, but I keep running into trouble having to guess what you mean. Even this post is jumbled to the point I’m not certain exactly what you’re saying.

    Which means there’s a decent possibility that no matter what you meant, the way you went about saying things was just not clear enough.

    For real, go back and try looking at your words and see if there’s a better way to write it out, it might help.






  • Oh, there’s definitely a market for it that’s underserved. You aren’t the first person to say this kind of thing at all. I’ve had partners in the past that used porn, and most of them wished that it was closer to normative ranges of bodies in multiple ways, with penis size and the high degree plastic surgery being the two most complained about. And I’ve known guys that are comfortable enough in their bodies to express a desire for the male performers to better reflect them.

    One specific paraphrase was that it was difficult to masturbate to porn when you never see anyone that looks like you because it gates makes it harder to imagine being in the actor’s place.

    Back when I still used porn, I can remember watching some of the less cock focused stuff and enjoying it more because I’m hetero, and all of the giant cocks end up making a lot of scenes focused on that. When the performers are closer to average, the scenes tend to be more about the sex itself, and the female performers than showing off a big dick.

    I don’t have any problems with penises at all, I even enjoy seeing them in a way akin to seeing a nice statue, or watching athletes do their thing, in a non porn setting like art photography. I used to be a nurse’s assistant, so penises were pretty much a daily sight for a long time lol.





  • There are, but you have to go looking for them.

    Thing is, porn is a visual medium. Like any film, it requires that the audience be able to see the important parts. In this case, those are body parts going on and out of other body parts.

    In order to clearly and consistently see the action, you have to be able to get cameras in close, and from specific angles. Having dicks that are longer make that easier. So does removing body hair.

    So you’ve got the actors in positions that maximize visibility, and guys with long cocks doing the work to give the best view.

    So that’s the default for porn.

    As you may have noticed, things that are in porn end up becoming rather popular in real life, even if they aren’t actually fun. People see it in porn, and think that’s what sex is, and go looking for it. Some end up enjoying it, others don’t, but they try it because they saw it.

    When you run across average-to-small penii in porn, pay attention to how it’s filmed. There’s less options for positions, so they tend to be more similar.

    Mind you, there are plenty of people that do prefer bigger cocks on their partners. Just like there’s plenty that don’t, or don’t have a preference, or want a middle ground. Nothing wrong with a monster cock as long as you can find someone that’s going to enjoy it.

    I don’t use porn any more. But, assuming things haven’t changed much, you’ll find more of what you’re looking for in Japanese porn, stuff labeled for couples, and the very rare production company that favors male performers that are capable of pulling off some acting along with the sex.

    You’ll find more average cock in older porn as well, as in 70s and before. Big ones were pretty standard by the eighties.




  • Ahh, not a new idea.

    This has been a thing for at least as long as I’ve been alive. People will mix all kinds of citrus and dairy, even just by shaking or stirring plain milk and regular OJ in a cup and drinking it.

    There’s a drink called a morir soñondo that’s dairy and citrus and I’ve seen it made with milk, orange juice, and a little sugar. Typically it’ll be something like cream, yogurt, or evaporated milk, maybe sweetened condensed milk.

    There’s creamsicles and orange julius that are similar.

    There’s dozens of cocktail recipes that blend the flavors, or use them as ingredients directly. Many of those are aiming to mimic a creamsicle tbh.

    There’s orange soda floats, and even orange juice floats. Just a big ol scoop of vanilla ice cream in your orange beverage of choice.

    Now, is plain OJ mixed with milk great? No. It’s a little bland. It really needs something else to make it something worth repeating. Just sugar isn’t enough imo. You gotta step it up to something like candied orange peel blended into it, or maybe just orange flavored sugar (basically orange syrup cooked down, or the excess sugar from candying oranges). And it’s better as a frozen/slushy kind of drink. Iced just doesn’t make it soothe the throat the way it does when it’s slushy.

    But it sure as hell seems crazy the first time you think of it! Like, you can acidulate milk for use in baking, and acids tends to coagulate milk, so it seems horrible. And, I would imagine if you just let it sit there it would be. So, you drink it quick :)


  • Dude, are you kidding?

    I have zero interest in whatever pulpit you’re pounding. You came here, you c/powertrippingbastards, made a post and got opinions about whether or not the mod action taken was or was not power tripping.

    Every fucking comment you’ve made has been argumentative, and in multiple cases, off topic for this community

    I do not give a flying fuck about your opinion. My opinion of the general fucking matter of Israel is fucking irrelevant as well.

    I’m fucking telling you that that’s what the fucking rule used to remove your fucking comment was about, and you’re still trying to be a fucking prick and play some kind of shit stirring bullshit.

    Well, fuck you. You can take that kind of thinking and behaviour and shove it square up your ass because up until this I have been nothing but respectful and on topic.

    Let me say this one more fucking time, you jackass. I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION WAS. That’s not the fucking point of this community. I don’t even remember at this point what your comment said in detail, so I can’t even tell you if I disagree with it or not.

    But I’ll tell you this much, you fucking pimple, you need banned from the fucking internet for pure, mule headed stupidity
