monkey king
I lived in Redmond, Washington before Microsoft. We had a grain elevator and an X-rated theater. I'm also sure my classmates boobs were all real (9th grade, after all), no one had been unpersoned in more than a year, and I don't think I even heard the word "cunt" in my entire time there, though twat was fairly common.
Hm. Whitebread suburbia doesn't rate too well in this "how poor I was" game, does it?

"Wow, look at the Boobies!"
First it's a simple little exercise in lighting farts, then the girlie mags get broken out and suddenly it's a circle jerk.
I'm 41, and have had a reasonably regular social life as a kid, adolescent, and adult. Is the quoted practice actually common? Am I the only male heterosexual who never (a) lit farts (b) hung out with friends who eventually (apparently) decided the only thing to do was to dip into a stash of porno and (c) then proceeded to rub...

(To be clear, I know MJJ's statement was meant to be over the top, but I was/am genuinely curious about this "phenomenon".)

Metafilter - lessons learned from the BB problem?
I thought anal sex was the "home run" for the "abstinence only" crowd. (Makes sense, too, since Santorum helped fund abstinence programs.)

bru has an excellent point. The comments section at BB is much more like the comments section at your local newspaper than it is to metafilter.
Have you looked at your local paper's comment section(s) recently? They're worse than youtube, in my opinion, in that a bunch of 13-year-olds calling Jonas Brothers "fags" is kinda expected, whereas the people spouting off on local issues in similar language are your neighbors.... [more]

Plexi, you just provided way more context than your post did. Give those of us who know fuck-all about Danish electronic music some context so we can judge the comeback for ourselves.

Shouldn't our user numbers go down as people push the big red button, or 30 days pass after an incomplete application? That might make you think before pushing...yes, you can come back, but your account number will be, like, a newbie's.

29: Happy Happy Joy Joy
I only think about puppies and flowers and being nice to people.
I thought Pastabagel was being nice to people in his comment. In his own pistol-and-penis way.
(Incidentally, at the time, I thought it was hilarious, and still generally do, while my wife thought it was meh. Her exact words were "if that was you, they'd have to substitute in something about crappy old cars for the women, wouldn't they.")

Account Closing Protocol
When people really lose it, stink up a thread, flame out, and close their account in a huff after one final steamy turd, I want a real-time indicator (maybe a pair of eyeballs with a has-refreshed-this-page counter in the upper right) that shows that the closed-account user has come back and is silently, impotently, watching us try clean up their mess.
We should also have roughly demographically correct batches of embarrassing nude photos, quietly revealed mefi mails,... [more]

Thanks for the update and the pointer to the thread. When my oldest brother came out to my mother, she didn't even bat an eye, which I wish every gay child's parent's reaction was.

Civilized discussion?
Someone brought up a point in that thread that I thought was kinda interesting: To paraphrase "maybe the rich should be kept from the poor" when it comes to matters of sex, the idea being that you don't have to be a child to be exploited and/or coerced.
In any case, it brought this anonymous AskMe to mind. The parallels aren't strong and obviously the situation isn't anywhere near as icky as the one in the FPP, but it still seemed to me to be the... [more]

Disclaimer: The stuff in that FPP seems pretty foul, and I think laws about adults having sex with minors below the age of consent are good. Halve your age and add 7 is a rule-of-thumb for a reason...
However, someone who covets a post-pubescent male or female isn't actually a pedophile, are they? I mean, assuming you found yourself aroused by looking at, say, Tracy Lords in an adult film, assuming at the time you saw it that she was 18 or 19, only... [more]

Scrump Goes For Broke
Do people really not like the occasional zinger in a thread? My favorite discussions are those that have a nice combination of debate, information, humor and personal anecdote.
Not that anyone gives two shits, but if every discussion was a dry discussion of the item(s) linked, I'd only check in every couple of weeks.
You know what's really gone downhill? Well, let's just say I have to wear underwire briefs.
