  • Here's the "fun fact" related to the term. When dogs poop, their butt prolapses a bit, meaning some of the insides extend to the outside, and then retracts after. That's why they don't generally have a bunch of poop on the outside afterwards.

  • Maybe, but you're going to get the real experience on a porn site.

    As an aside, with no intent to kink shame, I've always been surprised at how significant/popular that subcategory is. I have a hard time even seeing the thumbnails.

  • I typed in the URL figuring it wasn't going to be real, but it is.

    I'm thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn't speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor's new clothes kind of thing.

  • In case anyone thinks it's not real, or it's an artifact of the candid photo, here's a pic from the other day that he posed for. It was posted by the Republican that he's standing with.

    He must not have a mirror with the side panels. They must push his face through a hole in a bib and then blast it with a spray can. It's ridiculous.

    That being said, that's not the reason to hate him, there are many other valid reasons for that

  • But anyone who is uninformed to that level is completely unlikely to watch a debate. I mean, if they invested five minutes a night (maybe even a week) listening to the top news headlines, they wouldn't be undecided.

    A debate is probably a waste of everyone's time other than for entertainment value and selling clicks.

  • There's a historical place near my house (Southern California) that was built in 1903 and has a bunch of bas-relief swastikas in the decorations. They have little signs up explaining that the building predates adoption of the symbol by Nazis, but it's really strange to walk around and see them.

  • The only quibble I have with this is that, as the article points out, projection is generally a subconscious things people do. I firmly believe Trump knows exactly what he's doing and he accuses others first so if they accuse him it looks like "no, you are!" It's just one strategy in his con man book.

  • Nice thought, but it won't matter. Trump will just have Ronnie Jackson say he's never seen a man as healthy as Trump in all his years, and that Trump will likely live to be 250 years old, and even then he'll only die because he'll realize he's solved all of the world's problems and there's nothing left to live for.

    (There are too many "ands" in that sentence, but I can't be bothered to fix it)

  • The flip side is that people who live in states with a big land area but relatively small population have a way oversized vote compared to people who live in high population states. Why should a small number of people in the Midwest be able to outvote the majority?

  • I only partially agree. Yes, with the recent debates featuring Trump frothing at the mouth and saying completely insane and hateful stuff, if a debate doesn't have that it's worth connecting on. But people do care about content.

    With this debate as an example, lots of people commented on the "sanewashing" that Vance was doing - trying to give plausible explanations for things Trump has said or done - but it's just not as outrageous as what we're used to. And the Republican base was largely happy with that he said, even when it was demonstratively false.

    I think people care, but it's twigs being added to a pile of logs.

  • Seems hard to believe that this debate moved the needle much on either side. They both performed well, there were no big gotcha moments, and each said the stuff that their base would want them to say. Neither seemed unhinged, both were well spoken.

    Vance said some stuff that was total crap, but that's not a problem for anyone considering voting for Trump. I just don't see that there's any way anyone's mind was changed.

  • You know, it was very different than I expected. There were quite a number of times when one of them said "Well I agree with most of that he just said." Vance is pretty smooth, too. Much of what he said was total crap, but it wasn't the Trump-style hateful vomit. It was the most cordial debate I've seen in a while, though there were some strong disagreements.
