So I was always a charmin ultra soft user and one day my wife bought ultra strong. To this day I don't let her forget. Nothing ultra strong should be going near that area. Horrible toilet paper.

But then we bought a home on septic and had to ditch Charmin for angel soft.

And yeah our work toilet paper is awful. Definitely a prime example of the government going lowest bidder.

Several folks in here complained about specific annoying adverts, but I am also suspicious (but not necessarily surprised) at how quickly market forces agreed we should be covering our entire bodies in various deoderants.

Is that really a thing? No Charmin in a septic?

The first year we moved into this house we had our septic system inspected and the guy specifically asked if we used Charmin after the inspection. He said it has higher cotton content than other toilet papers and doesn't break down as well. So you're looking at getting your septic pumped more often if you use it.

So it's not that it's not allowed. Just not recommended by the guys that do the pumping.

[Kodos]

Our septic guys recommend Angel Soft too.

[21C]

I don't think I've ever taken a crap at work.

[Edward64]

Charming ultra strong for me.

The “soft” brans falls apart too easily and leaves … bits

[Ksyrup]

We use Scott. I prefer the harder stuff that doesn't fall apart. I can't use the soft stuff. It just disintegrates.

[stevew]

Bidet all the way.

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

Team "strong" for sure.

Thank you, I never heard of that. I guess all these years of ass pampering will be coming to an end, after we get rid of the giant ultra mega pack of Charmin we just bought.

I've never played a mobile game in my life but I've been playing the shit out of the Kingdom Rush games the last few weeks. Great way to wind down a long day.

I have the first 3 games on steam and they are pretty entertaining.

Can someone explain the T-Mobile commercial with the 2 guys shake-weighting/jerking off together, complete with weird-ass noises? I have no effing clue what they are supposed to be doing or why I'm supposed to be amused.

[Lathum]

If a business has double doors and one is locked it’s at least 96% I’ll try the locked one first.

I think they're two guys from Suits. I could give a shit about Suits, other than Meghan Markle was pretty hot circa Suits. Which is to say about zero.

(I guess it's really popular on streaming for whatever reason. I guess this translates to mobile service somehow.)

Are we the same person?

The trick there is to decide on the door you're going to open, and then open the other one.

Edit: (And then as the door opens you walk in and yell, "haha, screw you universe!")

Because of the hype, my wife and I started watching. We stopped a few seasons in. It was a decent (if far-fetched) show early, but it lost its way after the first season.

[cuervo72]

With the double doors, this gets me often, usually with my wife. And it probably IS my fault, because I don't just grab the door on the right with my right hand when I'm entering, which is what the establishment assumes most people are going to do. But for whatever reason, we are usually either approaching from the right and my wife is behind me, or my wife is to my right. So the natural thing (I think) would be to open the door to my left with my left hand, so I don't have to cross in front of her or otherwise get in her way to get in the building (essentially, the door opens away from her rather than into her). But the restaurant/store doesn't see it this way, I guess.

[NobodyHere]

It's your wife's fault. She should be on your left side

Anyone got the contact info for Jason "Beekeeper" Statham?

Congratulations!

I have to share bad news with you. Approximately a few months ago, I gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing. After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events:

Some time ago, I purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to buy it online). I have easily managed to log in to your email account ([email protected]).

One week later, I have already installed the Cobalt Strike "Malware" on the Operating Systems of all the devices you use to access your email. It was not hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails). All ingenious is simple. .

This software provides me with access to all your devices controllers (e.g., your microphone, video camera, and all on it).
I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, videos, documents, files, web browsing history to my servers. I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history, and contacts list.

My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based) and hence remains invisible for antivirus software. Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter.

While gathering information about you, i have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites. You love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure. Well, i have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show how you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse, and all your videos will be shared with your friends, family, and relatives. Considering the specificity of the videos you like to watch (you perfectly know what I mean), it will cause a real catastrophe for you.

I also have no issue at all with making them available for public access (leaked and exposed all data).
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Under the rules of the law, you face a heavy fine or arrest.

I guess you don't want that to happen.

Let's settle it this way:

You transfer $1600 US Dollar to me (in Bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away. After that, we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me. I keep my word.

That is a fair deal, and the price is relatively low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now. If you don't know how to purchase and transfer bitcoins - you can use any modern search engine.

You need to send that amount here Bitcoin wallet:
bc1qtgvgm2wm87q8kdn8x985xr387avcx2ryweqzp4

(The price is not negotiable).
You have 48 hours in order to make the payment from the moment you opened this email.

Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server). Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.

This is an APT Hacking Group. Don't be mad at me, everyone has their own work. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you won't hear from me ever again.

Everything will be done fairly!

One more thing. Don't get caught in similar kinds of situations anymore in the future! My advice: keep changing all your passwords frequently.

[Silver Owl]

Yeah, you are screwed ... he did say you can trust him.

Finally got around to trying the new Dreamsicle Frosty from Wendy's.

Verdict? It's good, but it's actually NOT Dreamsicle in my opinion.

It's actually Orange Push-Up.

Good, but a slight difference in flavor. There's also a slight aftertaste of some sort. Not awful, but present.

Which is kind of sad in a way, cause while this is fine, Wendy's didn't make an ice cream treat thing come as close to the target as most energy drinks (which have mastered the Dreamsicle flavor across multiple brands)

[GrantDawg]

Does it taste like a Frosted Orange? Because I would be down if it tastes like a Frosted Orange.

My grandad was the worst with those kind of scams (RIP)...not because he would fall for them, but because he thought he could bring down some kind of justice on them. It was like those youTube scambuster channels, except he was 90, with a rotary phone and zero grasp of how the internet works.

Hmm ... kinda? This is really spot on Push-Up to me (especially on the front end, before any aftertaste hits) and I never thought that was precisely an F.O.

[molson]

Isn't it weird that we can talk? That we can move the flesh in our mouth and manipulate the air that passes through it in such precise ways as to express detailed thoughts and emotions that others humans (and dogs) can immediately understand?

I swear I'm not high.

I get what you are saying. Push-Ups have that sharp orange flavor and the baby aspirin aftertaste.

There was a silent auction last night put on by the Chad Tough foundation in honor of Chad Carr, the grandson of former UofM coach Lloyd Carr. Chad passed away from the same type of brain cancer that took my nephew’s life. My nephew’s foundation, along with many others, have joined up with Chad Tough over the years. As you can imagine, given the connection to Lloyd Carr, the foundation has deep ties to a large number of sports organizations both college and pro.

I ended up winning two tickets to the Chris Spielamn family suite for a Lions game and to hang out with Chris Spielamn before the game and sideline passes!

That's awesome! Doesn't get much better than that for a modern lions fan!

[PilotMan]

I agree, that's pretty sweet HB! Congrats!

Is it just me or has this site been ass slow to load the past week or so? Hit reload or a thread link and there's a noticeable pause before anything happens.

USPS or their tracking is so weird. I have a package that went from Greensboro, NC to Greenville, SC, so I thought I might get it early. Nope, it then went to Charlotte, NC, then to Spartanburg, SC, where it then went to Greenville to get delivered a day late. Why?

I actually looked farther back, it started in Atlanta and went to Champagne, IL before coming to Greensboro.

It literally started 2.5 hours from my house but traveled god knows how far.

My cousin sent me something via Priority Mail from Tulsa last week. It was routed Tulsa-Washington DC-Chicago-then finally Austin

[Ksyrup]

This is surely a bit of trivia I knew at some point in my past and have long forgetten - even when he died - but I just learned (again) that Jani Lane's real name was John Kennedy Oswald, and he was born a few months after JFK's assassination. Apparently his middle name was changed to Patrick at some point (I don't know if it was early on, or he did it himself because of the absurdity of the name, especially in proximity to his birth).

Anyway, that's today's edition of, "Learning things you probably once knew but are too old to remember you knew."

[Kodos]

His birth name was as American as Cherry Pie!

[Lathum]

I'll guess his real name made him see red...

Must be a weird 80's metal band thing because I know that Sebastian Bach's real name is Abraham Lincoln Booth.

[QuikSand]

one time, when i was probably 10 or 15 years old, i randomly started idly musing about football scores...and for some reason decided then and there that i just did not like the score 20-10

still bugs me, for no reason, when i see it, literally in any context... like, there was never anything rational about it, whatever led me there is long since forgotten, but i just have a mental muscle memory that i hate 20-10 and that's enough for a tiny bit of recoil any time i see it

i am a deeply rational person, not at all superstitious or prone to anything of that sort... this is a personal anomaly born of... nothing, really

[cartman]

I bet it is because the winning team's score is 2/3rds of the total points scored.

Ha! Actually his is more similar to the Bongiovi name change. Last name is Bierk - which is decidedly unmetal.

I'm glad my parents didn't go with their original name for me because it was Radio Star Video

Fewer things set me into an irrational rage more than ordering a medium, plain, coffee at Starbucks.

Why is that? Because of the cost?

No. The smarminess.

Like they think you should feel honored to be ordering from them and if you don't use the correct verbiage they correct you or give you side eye.

I don't care if it is vente, grande, etc...just give me a fucking medium coffee or whatever your version of that would be.

I have order a lot of medium coffees from Starbucks - I almost always get straight-up coffee there - and can't recall ever being corrected or being given the side-eye. And I slip pretty casually between grande/medium and vente/large depending on the day.

Could be my natural Charisma, or "riz" as the kids say, that puts them at ease?

[molson]

That's why I order on the app and pick up.

[stevew]

I walk in, use the pissers and order from my phone.
