  1. I'd hope that wasn't the case. There was no need, there are trash cans everywhere. Like, that wouldn't be just your common type of littering because one can't be bothered finding a trash can. They were right next to one. He'd have to be littering on purpose. Also, it's quite a big parking lot, 90 % empty means there were still at least fifty cars there, and due to covid, almost all of the shops except the superstore are closed, and number of people allowed in the superstore is limited (one person per 15 square meters), so, people come in, get what they need, and get the hell out without wasting too much time, so, it's not really that deserted or seldom traveled ... people come and go through there regularly.
  2. That's what I do. It's not just my opinion; I've been told so multiple times. Any time I see something teeny-tiny bit out of ordinary, I over analyze why the thing is the way it is and not some other way. I think about what I would have done in that place. I come up with possible scenarios and rationales that could have lead to the thing being how it is, and more often than not, I conclude that 'nope, I can't think of any good reasons, that's just seems wrong'. Just today I went to a mall for some stuff. I parked in the underground lot. It was at least 90% empty. I parked six spaces from the sliding door that leads to the mall (it separates the underground parking lot from the mall interior). It's the only way that leads directly to the mall from there, there are the parking payment machines behind it (They've been out of order for ages in this particular mall; parking is free there. They've uninstalled the boom gates from entrances/exits years ago, leaving nests of wires where they used to be, and so far they haven't bothered to put the boom gates back in.) and from there there's a corridor with a pair of moving walkways. The corridor doesn't lead anywhere else other than from the lot to the mall floor, it's not a short cut to anywhere, there isn't anything else of interest on the way, aside the non-functional parking payment machines, the only rational reason someone would be there is to get from their vehicle to the mall, or the other way around. As I went through the sliding door, I passed by a man with a baby stroller, who was crouching next to the payment machines, and trying to change his toddler's diaper, whilst the toddler was standing up. He seemed to be kinda struggling with it, mumbling something as if he was frustrated by something, and judging by the kid's crying, he wasn't too happy either. And I can't figure out why he'd do that. The dad, I mean. The kids crying was understandable, it was rather cold there, and there were people passing by. I think in his place, I'd be crying too. Like I said, this corridor only leads from the parking lot to the mall floor. It's an odd place to end up in unless you drove to the mall. Which I think they did. Most likely reason the dad with the baby ended there was because they were returning from a shopping run to their car. They had a baby stroller with them, packed full of shopping items. Now, I'm no expert in changing babies' diapers; the only person with whom I have experience changing diapers, is myself. Not really a representative sample; also, I've unfortunately not been a toddler for the last 28 years (not physically, anyway :D) so my opinion might be baised. StilI I think it's not unreasonable to think that the interior of their car would have made a much better impromptu changing place than the middle of a corridor from a parking lot? I also suspect that it's easier to change someone who's lying down, unless that person is too heavy to lift, which wasn't the case here. The parking lot was mostly empty, so it's not like they wouldn't have enough room for that. If they didn't have a car there, and all they needed was some secluded place for an emergency diaper change, this was definitely a poor choice; there is no suitable platform other than the floor (wouldn't recommend) and there were people walking by. There are baby changing tables in both men's and women's bathrooms (which are paid for access, but paying customers can access them free of charge with a receipt from a shop). If that would have been too much of a hassle for them, then there are countless benches in a sort of secluded food court, which is almost always empty, and currently it's always empty, because restaurants are closed, (because covid-19), and it's lot less cold there. If the dad didn't want the car seats to get dirty, that's what changing mats are for. Don't have them? He should. High visibility jackets are mandatory equipment for every automobile, and in combination with a plastic bag, can be used as an improvised changing mat. It couldn't have been a case of 'blowout, emergency stop, halt everything else you're doing, change diaper immediately', because then surely having the kid stand up while being changed would hardly improve the situation, and besides, they were literally in the middle of a corridor; I had to go within a meter's distance from them to pass through, so I would have smelled it, which I didn't, not to mention the used diaper was set aside fully opened on the floor, and it wasn't dirty. If it was a case of a major leak, that doesn't seem to me like something that couldn't have waited until they were safely in their car, and required immediate changing the kid's diaper, right there on the spot. It's not like it would have fixed anything, anyway. His clothes wouldn't be any drier after that. So, what gives? Are you a parent? What would you do? Am I overanalyzing things? Am I overanalyzing this particular thing because it involved diapers? To be clear, I don't really care if people change their babies' diapers in public. I don't care if mothers breastfeed their babies in public, either. If it's necessary, then it's necessary. But this one, just seemed like a strange decision.
  3. You've done the right thing. Very likely the best thing that could have been done, and I don't even see why you'd doubt that, or how anyone reasonable could think you've done wrong. What other options were even there? To leave a teenaged boy, who had been thrown out of his home, to his own devices, out on the street? There's hardly any chance how that could have ended other than very badly. Without your influence, your nephew wouldn't be any less gay, only much worse off in every other aspect of his life. And as for his being DL, I'm sure he's smart and mature enough to know what he likes or doesn't, and to do it because he likes it; not because you like it. You didn't force this interest onto him. Maybe inspired him a little, but so what. Is he addicted to it? If not, nothing wrong has been done. I'd probably talk to him about how it's necessary not to get too addicted to the ABDL lifestyle, that there are time where being actual adult with responsibility is important, but once there's a good, stable balance between those, there's nothing wrong with it. (That is, if there's any worrying uncertainty that he is aware of this necessity of this stable balance). It's just another hobby (with a potential to get expensive, perhaps also important topic to discuss with him). Obviously, willfully ignorant people will be willfully ignorant, haters are gonna hate, etc. Ignoringng them, whenever possible, is for the best. There's hardly any point in trying to debunk whatever nonsense they might think, trying to explain things to them such as that "no, 'gay recruitment' is not a real thing", "no, conversion therapy is a pseudoscientific quackery which does not turn LGBT people straight; what it actually does is violate their personalities and ruin their lives", and "no, throwing your teenaged kid out onto the street is not a well meant life lesson as per 'tough love' (which itself is utter bullshit); what it really is, is the total opposite of any kind of love, and a complete disregard for the child's well being. " Screw them. Talking to these people is like talking to a brick wall. You and your wife are wonderful persons, you made your nephew's life good and meaningful, and thanks to you, he too is a wonderful person, and I'm sure he will also make someone else's life good and meaningful. I don't see what you could have possibly done better.
  4. Well, yes, with a force of nature powerful enough, anything can be destroyed. I'm talking about what kind of natural force can be reasonably expected to occur, how often it occurs, and what's reasonable to do to prevent major damage or destruction of a building. Now, I realize that not anyone can afford to build this to withstand category 5 hurricane, but damages by a hurricane aren't just buildings getting knocked over. It's also loose debris flying right through flimsy walls, causing further damage to property, or worse, injuries and deaths. How much is your life worth? And in wildfires, how many homes burn down because they're right next to the forest or other combustible vegetation, and caught fire from that? And in comparison to that, how many homes burn down because they caught fire from an adjacent home that caught fire from another adjacent home that caught fire from another adjacent home... you get my point. If you build a residental area with wooden homes, in vicinity of a wildfire prone land, all it takes is for one home to catch fire, and the whole suburb will go with it. And also worth thinking about is, how easily can a house catch fire? If it's a wooden framing, wooden boards, wooden roof covered with asphalt shingles, than all it takes is few sparks on the roof. The idea is, minimalizing the risk. Ceramics (bricks, roof tiles) aren't combustible. Aerated autoclaved concrete blocks aren't combustible. There would still be things on such a house that are combustible and could ignite (plastic or wooden window frames, doors, wooden roof support structure), if they were to catch fire, such fire can be isolated and put out a lot more easily than when the whole building is made out of fuel and is set ablaze in a matter of minutes. It's cheaper, yeah. Wood I mean. It's also cheaper to eat ramen everyday, than to eat proper meals. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. It doesn't mean it's the best option - unless it's the only option. Which leads me to ask, is it because the US market is too closed off for systems like Porotherm or Hebel to break through? I've looked at Wienerberger website, and I've found that they have production facilities in the US, but I couldn't find any notion that they manufacture or sell anything like Porotherm in the US. Is it because there's a whole industry built around this, counting on the fact that homes built recently won't last long and they'll have to build new ones soon, at a rapid pace, keeping them in business? Is it because to Americans, the very abodes in which they (I assume) spend the better part of their lives, are not an exception to the throw-away culture? Let's say I went to the USA right now to start a business building homes out of porotherm (or something similar), while making sure of all the compliances with code and all that bureaucracy, getting the necessary advertising, pointing out all the benefits, and offering them at a price that would be (necessarily), probably higher than wooden framed homes, but still within reach of an average income family, because lower expenses on insurance, maintenance and energy, would enable them to allocate more money towards the mortgage, with the possiblity this being cheaper in the long run? Would I even stand a chance? Would the customers accept something like that? Would the market competitors allow it?
  5. ^This exactly. Wood is cheap, sure, but so are ceramic or concrete blocks. Maybe not as cheap, but considering how big of a portion of the total cost is comprised of stuff other than walls, it's not significantly more expensive than timber framing would be. And wood sure is abundant, as trees grow all over the place, but so is clay. It's earth! You're literally standing on it!(probably) Professional labor cost can increase the total cost quite significantly, since finding a skilled artisans these days is hard (not many people are interested in doing manual labor), and with this, you can build practically 80% of the main structure yourself. We're not, by Western standards, exactly a rich country, yet the average income family can reach a mortgage to pay for a 3 or 4 bedroom house built with this stuff. All costs included (land, foundation, building, facades, roof, doors and windows, plumbing, wiring, hvac, fixed kitchen and bathroom furniture associated bureaucracy, ...), not including other furniture like beds and wardrobes, an average home like that will set you back about 150k to 250k € (whatever that's in USD).. unless it's in a very expensive urban area or something, obviously. How much does an average home, in an averagely expensive suburb, built with wooden framing, cost in USA? And how much more will you spend over time on maintenance of the wood, HVAC, insurance if you're in a natural hazard area, and having to rebuild if you lose everything to said hazard, compared to what would it cost if it were a masonry building?
  6. What irritates me are people who take ages to drive off from an intersection with traffic lights. This is my message to those people: The light goes yellow, so you fucking set your shifter or selector into forward gear, and set off immediately once it goes green and the car in front of you (if there is one) starts moving. It's not rocket science. If you can't do that without rear-ending the vehicle in front of you, or waiting until it's at least twenty meters ahead, or contemplating whether the green light becomes any greener, or not forgetting to watch the damn lights and not your smartphone, DON'T DRIVE AT ALL, because you're not fit to operate a motor vehicle.
  7. Okay, so, I've recently finished building a garage, and I've become more interested in building materials used around the world (more than I have been before anyway). I'd be interested, if someone, maybe a contractor, or a businessperson in this area, or a DIY house builder, or anyone else could please explain to me what's the logic, that the most common building material for homes in America appears to be wood framing, wooden boards and asphalt roof shingles. Why? I mean honestly, that stuff straight up sucks. Wildfire comes? Catches fire like a dry haystack, proceeds to burn to a crisp. Actually adds fuel to the fire, spreading it further on. Same goes for accidentally set fires or arson. Once it lights up, unless it's put out immediately, the whole place goes up in flames. Hurricane comes? Crumbles like a house of cards. Flood comes? Soaks the water in, cue in moisture, mold, rot, etc. Termites (or other xylophagous insects) come? They chew right through it. Stray bullet flyes by? Penetrates it like paper. Reckless driver in a stupidly heavy pickup truck hits it? Say hello to your new unwelcome guest in the middle of your living room. Burglar comes? One or two good kicks and the door gives way. And if it's an unusually sturdy door and jamb, well, there's an easy way of bypassing that, with a thing called cordless drill and hacksaw combo, available for about two hundred dollars at your local home improvement store, that will enable you to quickly improve someone's home by ridding it of unnecessary valuables. Add to that poor heat and sound insulation, having to repaint once the old paint stars to flake, squeaking floors, creaking stairs, and other host of problems. Only advantage I see is that it's somewhat earthquake resistant, but earthquakes are mostly limited to areas around the San Andreas fault, so... I heard that it's because there's plenty of forests in America, so timber is readily available, but I don't buy that- there's actually more forests per square km in Europe, yet we don't use it except for roof support structure (or log cabins, which is an entirely different category), where it's the sort of traditional material, but steel roof supports are not so rare anymore. There is an abundance building materials that resist these disasters (except the earthquakes I guess) much better - good old red brick, aerated concrete blocks, ceramic blocks - most of which are widely used in Europe, which, ironically, has a lot lower incidence of things liable to cause damage to a house or something in it (at least if there isn't any war going on at the time). Especially the ceramic blocks have become very popular here lately, and for good reason - I've built my garage with them. It's a fantastic material. It's basically a fired red brick, but larger, with a honey comb internal structure for reduced weight, and ground to precise height, so they can be laid almost without mortar - instead, they're joined with a polyurethane foam adhesive. The walls can be built in few days, in sub freezing temperatures to boot. Does anyone build with this in USA? Is it even available there? I couldn't find anything about this being a thing there.
  8. That there kinda sounds like the Concorde fallacy to me. Anyway, you will always lose money on a car. Depreciation, running costs, service, insurance, it will be a money pit every time, no matter what. Unless it's something extremely unique, like a limited edition Koenigsegg, something with a high potential to become a sought after collector's item (which, if you could afford to buy new in the first place, you'd need not worry about losing money anyway). Lately and also in the past I've spent a lot of my disposable income on various hand and power tools. Not the cheap ones either. They could make me money, if I ever decide to put them to use doing things for other people than me and my family. But so far it's just been a net loss. I rationalize it that I do a lot of work on my house that would've cost almost as much if I hired a contractor, and I'd have no tools afterwards, so this way I spend a little more, but end up with a lot more value. Oh, and I also spend my disposable income on disposable diapers. Bet you didn't expect that.
  9. You might want to reconsider going there, what with the current state of affairs in Belarus.
  10. These are ABU DinoRarwz. They're great, nice quality and very cute.
  11. Not long ago, I was wearing my usual assortment of five stacked various disposable diapers, inner 4 ones modded to seep through, on top of that an absorbent mat, some folded cloth flat diapers, four more disposables to hold the whole thing together (three thin and very large Tena bariatrics and one dinorawrz,) and a snap crotch onesie. First wave was quite a typical BM, but very mushy. I ate a lot of fiber the day before, fruits, vegetables, cereals and the like. After that, I had several more movements in the span of next two hours, smaller but there were so many of them, I don't remember, at least five or six. They went easy thank to the fiber and because my diapers were already mega soaked (and I peed it more throughout), they were very swollen, thick and snug. Therefore the poop went absolutely everywhere it could and even out of the diaper around my legs, luckily the absorbent mat contained all the mess. It was an awesome feeling, absolute bliss, but after I was done, took the diapers off and saw the disaster I made, I thought I pushed it too far this time. But I would do it again anyway.
  12. I do have to stand still for a split second to start the flow (unless I'm at the point of bursting), but once it goes, it's all fine, and I can start in any position, really. Pooping while walking is my favorite, but it's only possible if I don't have to push, just let go, and that is not possible with the thick tight diapers I wear. Which also rules out pooping while sat (normal firmness, anyway).
  13. I started kindergarten when I was around 3 iirc. There was this younger kid who'd have wetting accidents rather often. I remember quite well that when we were on an a two-week field trip, and during an outdoors hike he told the teachers something like: "I have to pee... I'm peeing now". They were not impressed. I wasn't prone to accidents in kindergarten, but I remember two of my own. #1, don't recall many details, but it did happen, probably due to me not asking early enough to go the bathroom and therefore not making it in time, and a #2 (this was actually the first one I had) where I must have had something bad to eat which ended up in my pyjama pants whilst I was in bed for an aftrernoon nap.. thought it was just a wind. It wasn't. I didn't wanna get up from bed for bathroom (didn't think I had to) and even less so to tell teachers that I had just pooped myself. Not sure what I was thinking, that if I stay in bed the mess will disappear and noone will find out? Unfortunately it didn't. Well, thing was, the teachers weren't approving of us getting up from our beds for whatever reason once we were tucked in for afternoon nap. In their mind, if you needed to go, you should have known before and gone to do so; they were actually quite adamant about asking everyone prior and sending us to bathroom before nap. I guess they thought that if you didn't have the need to go at that time, then you also wouldn't have it in next two hours, let alone in next ten minutes, which, now looking back on it, sounds like a really stupid idea to be applied on a group of sixty pre-schoolers. Well, the teachers weren't any wiser of my accident until the naptime was over, despite the obvious odor that the kid in bed next to me could smell and didn't omit reminding me so. I don't remember being scolded, perhaps they could see it wasn't all my fault, or more likely they were just too busy cleaning up the bedding, my clothes and me, to bother with reprimands. My dad picked me up after, but he wasn't mad at me for having an accident. He never was; I didn't have them often and on the rare occasion I did, he used to say that these happen to everyone once in a while, no need to be ashamed, and left it at that. Although I do remember that after I had that other acccident which was only a wet one, and the teacher once again had to hand over the afflicted clothing item wrapped in newspaper to my dad, he said to me something like, "your mom and I have no interest washing the underpants you peed by yourself, so you're also gonna wash them by yourself". So I was told to wash them by hand in a basin. Maybe it was just symbollic, as a lesson, I think they threw it in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry afterwards. The teachers in our kindergarten would sometimes threaten us with diapers though. Probably out of frustration with the kids' bathroom habits being less than ideal (not asking to go when needed, forgetting to flush, not knowing how to wipe self, accidents here and there), thus not meeting the probably higher expectations they had. Of course, those were completely empty threats. It would be impractical and very difficult to actually go with it, as public kindergartens' budget did not account for diapers, but I didn't know that back then, obviously. There was this situation once, where the teachers probably got fed up with us for something bathroom related (I don't remember exactly what it might have been), but they basically ordered us that we all are to go to bathroom now; line up, go one by one, and let teachers handle the wiping and flushing. It sparked this thought in my head, that next time, they would buy packs of Pampers, and somehow turn all toilet bowls into automatic diapering machines, fed by packs of Pampers through the drain pipes, and put a diaper on every kid who sat on one, so they could just walk right off with a diaper on afterwards, instead of having to sit on it for minutes, which would significantly speed up the process of us standing in line for bathrooms. Yea, I had quite the imagination. The idea did rather fascinate me though. No wonder I ended up ABDL
  14. .... when you poop your diaper? What I mean specifically is, those of you who aren't incontinent but mess diapers by choice, (or have become bowel incon by choice), what are your thoughts, if any, about the act of pooping yourself in a diaper (and peeing too I guess) , as in with regards to the state of mind you put yourself in (AB/ageplay) when you're indulging. Very often I recall memories of two of my #2 accidents that I've had between my 2 and 3 years (one almost certain to have acrually happened which lead to me getting a cloth flat diaper folded into my underwear in case it happens again, but without some of the details that got into my memory I don't know how; the second one of them I have confimed not to be a false memory -it did actually happened the way I remember it, and I was offered to wear Pampers which I turned down), presumably a result of me being out of diapers early but not quite there yet. I like to set my mind as if I'm back there being 3 or so years old, and I'm not doing it on purpose because I know what the potty is for and I try to be a big boy and use it, but it's of no use because the moment I realize I have go, as soon as I turn on the spot and make a couple steps towards the potty, before I know it it's all out, I've pooped myself again, and I try to tell mommy how it is, and she has to concede I'm not at all ready and it's diapers for me still.
  15. Granted. The cup is warm, as you wanted, but the milk isn't. I wish I had 20/20 eyesight.
  16. That happened to me only and exactly once, that I would dream that I was peeing and I actually wet for real. I had those dreams more often than I can think of, but apart from this one instance I know of, it never transcended from dream into reality. Like Rusty said; from being toilet trained, we're pretty much hard wired not to do that.
  17. Where are you from? Do you have any design or idea what should it look like (which teletubby?). There is one ABDL friendly seamstress (I assume she's a seamstress) who runs these two shops in Czech Republic: https://www.abdl-textil.cz/ https://www.in-tex.cz/, and I suppose she should be able to make it. Possible problems - language barrier, shipping, and finally cost. I may be able to help with the first one possibly the second one. The cost issue is all on you though, since you didn't specify what your budget actually is other than that it's capped.
  18. This discussion has increased my heart rate about as much as it raised your level of understanding anything - which is not at all. Fortunately there's the Atlantic ocean and thousands of kilometers of land separating us, thus I'm not likely to be affected by your ignorance. There's plenty other ignorant people I know, so you're not that special. They too think being ignorant is a virtue. Oh well .. You think that the more people around you go down, the better off you'll be afterwards? You have no idea how wrong you are.
  19. Brudda Voodu, the amount of arrogance, ignorance, self-contradiction and just general lack of thought you display, not only in this thread but in general, is just amazing. It's general knowledge that's supported by tons of evidence, scientific research and centuries of experience that personal hygiene such as washing hands prevents diseases. Nobody is saying it will remove 100% of germs, specifically coronaviruses, from your hands. Nothing short of dumping them in acid will, really. What it does is it reduces the amount of pathogens on your hands that then may get inside your body - and a body of a person with a normally functioning immune system can take care of the rest. What you don't want to do is hit it with a wide array of different pathogens at once. That's what gets you. And if not you, maybe someone around you that you may infect by becoming an asymptomatic vector. The fail logic of not bothering to wash hands properly because you may contract COVID-19 (or anything that spreads with contact) anyway, is as stupid as the logic of someone who doesn't wear a condom when having casual sex with a stranger, becauese hey - condoms aren't 100% safe, they might break. That's not an argument for not being careful, genius. You say that, and then you go calling people "chicken little", and accuse them of panic and fear when you don't even know them. Seriously? I don't see any panic, I see precaution, that's two different things. Maybe you're desensitized, based on you saying you've seen worse. Ok. That doesn't make the COVID-19 situation good, unimportant or to be taken lightly. Look up fallacy of relative privation, also known as 'not as bad as' fallacy. There are hunderds of thousands of people infected, thousands have died and many more will be infected and will die. European states are now forced to take strict measures to slow the spread that will cost many people their livelyhood. 90% of the cases of COVID-19 in my country are people or infected relatives of people who went skiing to Italy despite being warned and well aware of the risk. They were just like you, thinking like "pfft, some coronavirus, I'll be fine, can't be bothered really...." Well, now they're not fine, their relatives are not fine, the hundreds of people they met may not be fine, the people's businesses that will take a hit, because of the measures we have to take in order not to tank the overall economy and overwhelm our healthcare with hundreds of thousands of sick people at the same time, may not be fine. All because of people who just couldn't be fucked to cancel their trip to Alps and lose a few bucks? Fucking great. I hope you'll remember that when you go to vote again. Nobody said they are. This number is just a hypothetical calculation based on the current lethality rate of COVID-19 and scenario when everyone in the world is infected while we don't have a vaccine, and compared to the population of the USA. It may not matter to you that 300 million people might die, since it appears you lack empathy, but there are other people in the world, you know, and it will matter to them. Sure, you do you, it's your life ... have that engraved on your headstone if you live by that motto. But remember, unless you live in a bubble, your behavior has impact on other people, and you have no right to put their life and health at risk with your recklessness. I'm not worried of dying of COVID-19 myself. But guess what, I have a 83-year old grandma who is much more vulnerable than I am. I know she'll die eventually. Everyone does. That's not an arguement for me helping that to happen sooner than it needs to happen, by not being careful and contracting a disease that I'll survive, but she might not. I ride a motorcycle. I know there's a high chance I'll crash. I already have because of another reckless driver. That doesn't mean I forgo all safety and just go YOLO every time I ride.
  20. There are few programs that can sync and stretch or shrink audio runtime so it matches video runtime. Vegas pro - not sure if free Virtualdub Easy video sync fixer - this one is a trial, it will leave a watermark unless you activate it. Finding a good free program isn't easy.
  21. Formatting the drive probably won't do much, if anything. A/V sync getting progressively worse the further in you watch is usually caused by the specific type of video codec or container used, as some devices that claim tu support such codecs can have issues playing them properly. Questions: what model of TV do you use, what video codec is used for the things you watch, and if you watch them on a computer, is it good or does it also get desynced?
  22. Yea I tried one unicorn and three or four Little Rawrz too and there was no problem with the print except that I didn't really like the color scheme and size. This is only specific to the cammies.
  23. Well, I've tried a couple which is not a really large or representative sample, but I have to say I'm not too impressed with them. One, size large isn't all that large. I expect size large to be tall in waist, and these are not. But, main issue I've had is the print started to flake off with wetness and left a stain on my thigs. Not cool.
