  • OK, that gave me a good chuckle haha

    As someone who does shave his bush by choice, I can’t imagine going completely smooth. It takes forever and the burns and ingrowns can’t possibly be worth it, let alone demanding that of someone else? If someone wants to remove the hair down there, I really don’t get why the default assumption is to shave so close to the skin rather than trim (so it’s a bit like elongated stubble.) It also looks better than totally clean IMHO.




  • I haven’t been able to post to reddit in years now, because I refuse to browse it without a VPN, and while it still lets me in, any account that I make immediately gets shadowbanned as soon as I make a post or a comment.

    I can’t tell if it’s because their bot filter is just terribly implemented, or because they don’t want me on their platform if I don’t surrender my public IP address.

    I’m pretty sure they just use a “how many different accounts under the same public IP” type of logic, because even if I create an account on a 4G network (no VPN) and post, this happens. Cellular networks often use double NAT (unique internal/carrier IP, shared public IP) to avoid allocating a public IP to each mobile device.

    I’ve given up a long time ago. My only exposure to reddit now is when a search results page links me to a post. The most helpful stuff is usually from a decade ago or earlier.



  • This.

    Also, even as an able-bodied man, I’m happy to jaywalk across residential streets and small roads. But a busy road or motorway? I’m not risking my life for that. Let alone multiple lanes! I always walk the 100m or so to the nearest pedestrian crossing… which is exactly what this guy should be able to do.

    It’s just bad design, and I strongly disagree with the idea of “it doesn’t look that bad, just cross”. You shouldn’t even have to assess risk like that.

    I’m not exactly enamoured with the UK, but its walkability (at least in suburbs and cities) is something I am so thankful for.
