        Is there a right millennium? The end of the first millennium had people believing that the tick-over would cause the apocalypse, with all computers everywhere immediately detonating, and the whole economy rendered valueless dust.

    I’m conflicted because I love cars and how they work (including EVs!!!) but also don’t entirely love how loud they can be.

    I got a GR Corolla which has a little tiny 3 cylinder engine, but it’s so loud on cold starts. Luckily I live in the woods, because I would feel so bad cold starting it in a neighborhood.

    I’m conflicted because I love my car, but can also appreciate how cars just don’t have to be so loud that they give you temporary deafness as they drive by. Unfortunately with internal combustion, louder generally equals better flow in the exhaust which equals more power.

      Enjoy it! You could be driving another fun car with a completely boring sounding engine (cough FL5 cough) with almost no good sounding exhausts that aren’t just noise.

      Don’t be ashamed. Embrace the beautiful roar of your mighty little three-cylinder nugget. Let The raucous tones flow through your veins and release that sweet sweet dopamine when you jam the throttle pedal to the floor.

          That’s a stupid argument, because if you body shame you’re saying some bodies are “worse” than others, regardless of the reason why. Same reason deadnaming is never good, you’re just invalidating trans people to make a person you don’t like feel bad.

          If they have the wrong attitude, why not criticize that?

            In an ideal world, sure that would be the correct thing to do. But the reality is that, we as human beings, enjoy body shaming people who we disagree with. It’s why it’s fun to body shame people like Trump or calling people like Ben Shapiro a Manlet midget incel loser with a useless micropenis.

              You seem like the type who’d start dropping N bombs if you saw a person of color driving a car you deemed too loud.

              Or maybe getting ableist as fuck if you saw a wheelchair-bound person rolling coal.

              Sure, these are shitty things to do, but body shaming is the weapon of the enemy.

              Seeing deplorable behavior doesn’t give you a free pass to body shame, be racist, ableist, or misogynistic.

        Look, I don’t want to disagree with your point… But I can’t stand by as you suggest that we evolved from cave men… We may have created civilisations, but we’ve not evolved into a civilized creature… We’re still as uncooked as were 60k years ago.

        My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

        I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

          It’s like with the “do you punch a Nazi?”, even pacifists have limits.

          Then again, I think for me it’s ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them— and penis size is the “alpha males” easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.

            Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
            When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.

            If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn’t like it either.
            Have some fucking empathy.

              Drag doesn’t know a single person who buys into that penis size stuff and isn’t a conservative. In fact, most of drag’s friends have a penis and want to get rid of it.

              Ok, except what if only the target is within earshot and it’s used exclusively to make that person feel like shit? And would this be true of any other insult that could potentially apply to someone else, like being bad at something? Although I guess if harm is the goal, empathy isn’t exactly a priority.

              I’ll concede you’re right about collateral damage, though. Friends of mine know I don’t actually believe the insult in most cases (especially penis size, what am I, 12?), but I use more tact if I’m worried it would upset present company or being up bad memories, etc (more commonly fat shaming). I also don’t insult people like I used to, though.

              But, I don’t really hold anything sacred and I’m not about to hold back a good insult for a hypothetical person.

      Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.

      But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.

      (Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just… eew.)

        It’s the compatibility with a partner imo, the match is everything - the technical details are mostly irrelevant once events take place
