My understanding of fetishizing is that it has little to nothing to do with physical characteristics, but is instead determined by stereotyping.

Saying you have a preference, even a strong preference, for physical traits that are more often, or even exclusively, found in a certain group is simply what you're attracted to. Saying you prefer partners from "X" group because (insert list of stereotypes) is fetishizing.

For one example, consider the language that incels and people looking for "trad" partners use. They talk about preferring certain ethnic groups because they think all women from those groups are submissive, more feminine, adhere to traditional gender roles, etc., that's fetishizing.

Ok, yeah, but it's important that it's a certain kind of dog.

From the Wikipedia: "The team argued that the insertion "could only have been carried out by at least two or more individuals".

Folks are also saying that it was a sick farmer.

Allegedly.

Look, I ain't calling you a liar or anything, but that's going on the list with balut as the second thing that I won't try at least once.

I'm glad our fuck up in the US is inspiring others to step back from the edge. It's at least a silver lining I can console myself with while everything crumbles around me.

Our current understanding of the big bang is not that it spread out from one place, it happened everywhere all at once. If the universe is infinite, it started from zero volume and infinite density then immediately became infinite in volume and finite in density. The density of matter/energy is what is finite, not the amount of matter/energy, that is infinite (if the universe is infinite). Then there was a period of rapid inflation, then is settled down to the inflation we see today.

Infinite or finite, the universe is not spreading out into anything, the distances between points are simply increasing.

I'm certainly no expert so I'd appreciate any Jane Goodall types that want to correct me, but aren't almost all gorilla fights for dominance until someone backs down so no one gets too fucked up and rarely dies? Whereas polar bears kill to live.

Also, gorillas may have a hell of a haymaker but polar bears have big nasty fuck you claws.

Is going down to the courthouse and getting married again not an option? Not that you should have to do that, just curious.

Edit: I mean your local courthouse so you don't have to deal with this anymore.

It could just be one of the 19 new shows adult swim put out this week instead of a decent end to Metalocalypse or The Venture Brothers. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this silly shit.

Letterkenny. A couple of degens fucking a, possibly sick, ostrich - Allegedly - is a running joke.

You should watch it and it's spinoff, Shorsey.

Several companies have this now, but not in the US. For some reason the regulations don't allow it. Auto high beams can only go off and on, no zones. My car has the capability but it's software limited to comply with US laws. I guess it's cheaper to make them all the same and limit them than make different ones for the US market. There was supposed to be a change to the laws that allowed it in '22 but they fucked it up. If they ever fix the regulations it can be turned on with a software update.

In addition to what others have said, it also affects camber in turns. Positive caster when turning gives the outside wheel negative camber and the inside wheel positive camber to keep a larger patch of contact when turning at high speed.
