Depends where you’re from ;)

Never knew such a version existed!?! That’s… Mental.

I’m fairness, Master Blaster does run the town.

I’d be swapping MM2 and 3’s position in that list myself. Curious to hear others takes (will be watching Furiosa tonight).

I appreciate the effort so thank you. That’s not the one I saw but the idea is very similar.

The one I saw was much larger and involved ladders but this definitely gets the idea across.

Edit: just watched that video through. Can’t sleep here and that’s pushing me into “get up for snack” territory. Looks delicious.

I saw a video a while back about a charity in India and they had this custom… Structure within a building I suppose you’d call it… Where the sikh folks were cooking up an absolutely gargantuan amount of food. Huge fire had to be lit underneath it. The food pit looked around five meters / 15ft across.

The amounts of everything that went in are somewhat similar to what you’re reading in that recipe.

I’m trying to figure out a way to dig it out of the internet because it was a fascinating watch. If I manage it I’ll be back. Maybe someone else has seen the video I’m describing and will know where to look.

I know you’re taking the piss but the point of it is really to take a moment to look more closely at what’s around.

I saw a great Japanese movie recently called Perfect Days. The lead in it is a toilet cleaner in Tokyo leading a very simple life but he revels in the beauty in all he sees.

It honestly changed my worldview a little. Can’t recommend the movie enough.

The segfault at the end was perfection.

Me either! It’s on Netflix and scores well on IMDB.

We’ve had one Poland, yes…

Where it should say Russia.

We got a new TV while in lockdown. For about 4 months I would randomly say “Nice TV though”.

Funnily enough, I don’t think I ever believed in Santa either, so I guess your barometer checks out :)

Yeah, fair enough. I suppose that’s unusual in the West if that’s where you’re from.

I mean it depends on your background a bit. I don’t think kids who grow up on a farm have any doubt.

Fully agree though as a broad rule but there’s an age of innocence that needs respecting IMO. I got told by an older boy I knew when I was just 8 and honestly that was not great. My own barometer is that if you still believe in Santa we’ll have the talk later.

Funny story - Our eldest had some broad strokes when we sat him down but thought from the playground stories that you used a condom if you wanted to get pregnant. I was very glad to clear that little misconception up.

his pants grow

Heh.

Sending this to my English brother in law in 3…2…1…

I really liked Nine Days.

I’m starting to think that maybe you’re trolling again. You see I’ve spent lots of time in America, very fond of the place, and a lot of it on the beach.

I spent 4 straight months in San Diego and lived near the beach while I was there. I know that the beach is not a place for fucking in secret. Sure maybe it happens as little or as often as it does in the rest of the world but that doesn’t make it the default function.

Anyway I’m trying to get back to sleep having woken in the middle of the night so I’m out. o/

I would gently suggest trying not to view naked as being sexual for a bit. It’ll probably ease some worry in your mind that you don’t need to have.

I’m gonna break something to you here that might blow your mind… Europeans (and the people in the article) do not go to a nude beach to fuck. They’re going there to feel more natural in nature.

Naked bodies are not sexual unless you sexualise them, which you are doing. The statue of David is a fine example here.

I honestly have never heard of a sexual nude beach in my life before. Maybe they exist where you live.

Edit:

EVERYTHING nude is sexual

If this is your world view I don’t think we’ll ever agree. That’s kinda messed up IMO.

Right. Now we’re getting to the crux of it and I understand where your thinking is coming from but…

Because a nude beach is supposed to be sexual.

This is absolutely incorrect. Like totally wrong. There is nothing sexual about a nude beach.

I’m honestly not sure if you’re trolling or not at this point. We’re discussing nude beaches here. Lazy parenting and kids using bad language is nothing to do with nude beaches.

Like… Nothing at all.
