Well well well if it isn’t the direct consequences of my own actions. No, clearly it’s a conspiracy against me. Pam!

I’ve quit and gone back a few times over the last decade or so. Easiest time quitting recently was with zyns. Started with the 6 mg then to 3mg when I was ready. The rule was I’d put one in every time I thought about going to buy a vape. Weened myself pretty naturally.

Is there another way?

The lid is optional (pizza pie, pumpkin pie, quiche) I will die on this hill

Always upset that #6 is “quiche” and not “pie” which is obviously the broader category

I usually don’t but having kids has opened my eyes to the wonders of aquaphor. That shit is incredible.

Lemmy is the last stronghold of the Wild West. The only patch of grass in an enormous parking lot. No one owns it, theres no ads, it’s just a bunch of people on the internet like the old days. That’s what gives it value.

That said the niche communities are still too small and the learning curve to get involved is too steep to fix that. The only niche communities that have a lot of users are focused on tech because the user base has to be technically literate to even make an account and see content.

 

For context, I’m circumcised and expecting a son and my wife and I are torn about the circ. We’re American so from a cultural standpoint circumcision is the default choice. Thing is, there’s no real benefit besides practicing a religion we don’t believe in, and I’m uncomfortable about cutting the tip of my son’s dick off.

On the other side, I’ve met a guy who was bullied in high school so bad for it he got a circ as an adult. Apparently crazy painful recovery. I’ve also talked to women who are generally grossed out by uncircumcised men. I don’t want to make him feel like something’s wrong with him his whole life because I was uncomfortable with the idea.

From a moral standpoint I’m against it, but from a social and cultural standpoint I feel like I should do it? It’s a crappy situation. If there’s any uncircumcised American men who want to talk about their penis I’m all ears.

Edit: I really appreciate everyone’s responses I never expected to hear from so many people. With the decision hinging on social and cultural norms it’s been really helpful to be able to take the temperature like this. I obviously need to talk to my wife, but given the overwhelming support of dick hats I don’t thing we’re going to do it. Thanks, lemmings!

 

I’m imagining security cameras having to revert to magnetic tape recording.

 
 

Nothing is going to be more unhinged than what I already have. Top comment wins.
