I try to remember to use the old paper, but usually I despose of them in a cardboard toilet paper roll with one end pinched shut.

Because the blades I get aren’t packaged this way. Is that a reusable outer package? I’ve never seen anything like that.

If you use an electric beard trimmer to cut the long stubble down first it works better. Any razor does, but especially safety razors, since there’s only one cutting blade per side and when it’s clogged with longer hairs must be fully cleaned out for a perfect shave.

As someone whose grandfather was a carpenter for Gillette in Massachusetts from after WWII until a few years before his death, I’ve got to say that while i use safety razors because of the price, I do get a far superior shave in less time with the “fuck everything it, we’re doing five blades” (basically the 3+ blades modern razors). I just don’t like having to take out a second mortgage for refills.

You forgot the frikandel speciaal.

For all of those who are down voting the nope, read the instructions on how to apply in the post. You all failed that trick test teachers handed out in grade school, where if you actually read the instructions, it tells you to put your name on the paper and put down your pencil without trying to answer any of the questions on the test, because the test is “do you pay attention to shit” not “do you know the answers”.

Thanks for the update. Also, this comment is a downvoter honey pot. If you don’t stop harassing me, I will start my own instance to find out who you are and report your account. Thank you.

Daftdrummer is more like it.

I didn’t realize I was being a little too ironic, like rain on my wedding day.

Just like every communist revolution has led to a better life for all, including the millions purged. You’re off your rocker if you think your revolution won’t lead to just a wall for countless numbers of people.

One knock-on effect for me is that encountering those folks on here made me want to triple check my tone and emotionality when I post or comment. I absolutely want this to be a better place than reddit, and I constantly find myself going back through my comments, editing to add corrections, or outright deleting them if I realize in hindsight I was being a cranky asshole. I’ve got to admit, I’ve even appreciated the notification-free moderation here - if I got into a fight with someone and our lack of civility broke the rules, I’m happy when a mod wipes out both of our offending comments. Nine times out of ten it takes out the comment that caused me to fight in the first place. And as heated as I can get, after going on an online tear, afterwards I usually feel terrible for being driven by anger. And angry posts almost never do anything except stroke my ego.

Oooooooh, I see. Capitalism should fuck communism, and give their social democratic love-child to us folks in the USA!!! Woot.

I hadn’t heard that Hamas was blocking civilians from leaving Gaza, but they do like using their people as meat shields. Though it wouldn’t make any difference if they allowed such an exodus, because both Egypt and Israel aren’t letting anyone out.

Very similar to the existence of Nietzsche nihilists that were in my high school class back in the day. “God is dead” only gets one so far. To go beyond being an edgelord ideologue, one needs to take the next step and create one’s own meaning. And having some life experience does wonders for that.

I’d say it’s come a long way since Windows 3.1 and the days before PnP, to the point that I can actually clear my print que, where not that long ago clearing your print que seemed to be an option MS offered to allow us to experience the rage that arises from unadulterated powerlessness. Hell, half the time it even switches default printers based on whether I’m at home or the office. Now, if Adobe could make it easier to distinguish from settings that will only work in the printer’s driver settings, vs. the Adobe application’s print settings, we’d be halfway out of perdition.

Also more activity in the “get some mental help so you’re not calling everyone a nazi like it’s going out of fashion” sub.

Creating the projects by concentrating poverty into towers of terror is no better than having skid rows.

I can honestly say I’ve never encountered this aphorism before. I feel like it’s something my junior high shop teacher would have said while I stared at him open-mouthed trying to parse the precise contours of the proverb.

When did TNG become SNG? Just wondering if I missed a memo.

That guy’s face is so red I’m surprised he hasn’t popped.
