That has a lot less to do with the size of your cock and way more to do with the size of your ass.

Lose some weight. I'm well endowed and have only ever had an issue of "where penis go" when I tried to go while fully erect when I was a string bean of a teenager, and again as an adult when I weighed around 275 lbs and tried to go with a chub.

Might also be a grower vs shower thing too, but your experience is not anywhere as common as you think.

Edit: Would be much more of a problem if you're using one of the round bowl toilets instead of the "long" ones with an oval shaped bowl, but the only non-long ones I've ever encountered were in places that hadn't replaced theirs since around 1950.

I can't believe I have to say this.

Pull the foreskin back. Or sit/sqaut at a toilet and dry/dab with toilet paper.

There's no reason it has to be post 2077. Silverhand was already an established character in the lore, there's plenty of shit that could be adapted. 2077 was in part a time skip epilogue to a whole bunch of notable characters from the TTRPG, and I think there's a decent amount of people who'd be down for the earlier stuff.

Yes, it was one of the more contreversial changes he did. Before, you had to be "vetted" by xitter staff as being both notable and who you said you were. That wasn't a great system, and was effectively a nepotism/who you knew game, but you wouldn't see blue checkmarks for fake accounts.

It used to be a sign of trustworthiness.

Now anyone can get one for a monthly fee.

Actual link to his "intervention", which isn't even in the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gaza_genocide#Statement_from_Jimbo_Wales

I think that's a distinction without a diffrence, considering he's the founder and public figurehead of the organization. That comes with certain restrictions, like needing to accept that you'd need to use an unrelated psuedonym if you really want to do independent work where your reputation would effect things.

It's kind of astounding how many semi-public figures fail to understand this.

What the shit? Pressing and holding power and a volume button used to be for force shutdown. It's been that way for over a decade! Fucking hell.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does that actually bring up a menu, or just outright shut it down?

The two button shortcut has historically been for forcing an immediate shutdown in the event of like, a full system freeze. It's the same as ripping the power cord from a running desktop PC, and isn't the intended graceful shutdown that these devices are supposed to get.

Unless they've changed things, that's been the standard since the first smart phones and PDAs.

I have a first gen iPod Touch somewhere in a box here. It was press once to lock and turn off screen. Hold to get power menu.

Fucking hell, Samsung? I'm typing this on a Galaxy A52 5g. Same thing. Press power to turn off the screen and lock, press and hold for power menu. They did have press and hold for bixby about a year after I bought it, which I disabled, but it wasn't out of box default.

I've never encountered this multi-button power shit you're talking about outside of old click wheel iPods, or as the force shut down option (equivalent of ripping out the cord on a desktop PC, definitively not the normal/intended power off procedure).

Don't know what you've been using, but this has not been some standard thing forever.

It's not about like or dislike. I'd have almost no complaints if they added a button or a unique gesture to open it, like they already had with holding the home button (looks like they may have removed that shortcut functionality). Or how some phones made the lock/power button touch sensitive so a touch (not press) or a swipe over it opened the assistant.

But silently changing the function of a standard piece of UI/controls that have been standard for over a decade, and common on even slide phones since the fucking pre-smart phone era?

I'm shocked that anyone actually needs this explained to them.

It would rightfully be a news story if Honda's newest car hid the window controls behind a settings menu, and what normally were window controls (still visually the exact same and located in the standard spot on the door) raised and lowered your seat instead.

That's all without getting into the mess that is a company trying to artificially pump user numbers of one of their products, or my personal dislike of these "assistants".

Internal emails from Google have become public through court cases which reveal that the rumor they were making search worse intentionally is true, and it was in order to inflate their ad impression numbers. There is no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, and active explicit reasons to do the opposite.

Just one big incestuous sewer orgy of anti-consumer practices!

Basically it's been demonstrated writ large that our governing body doesn't have any actual teeth or intent to hold themselves accountable to the law. There are laws against this shit. It isn't some milquetoast thing that needs to go through litigation. Putting this type of shit on government websites is explicitly illegal due to the Hatch Act.

But the imcompetence of our government is the point. They want everyone to give up on the federal government so that corporations have no watchdogs against their bullshit. You already see everyone calling for (but not taking any concrete action towards) revolution, rather than looking for ways to fix up what we have/had.

On top of that, somehow the majority of Americans have completely forgotten the art of effective non-violent protesting, the sheer amount of work and coordination needed for a successful movement, the work of managing the public face of a resistance movement, and being prepared to have the absolute shit beat out of you for a cause. I can only speculate that it's due to long term manipulation of media and history curriculum.

The 60s weren't so long ago that all of this knowledge should have been so entirely lost.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
