- so you don't have to, i built one. realdoll, with robotic head, custom everything including nipples, makeup, hair of my choice, bunch of piercings, - colin Jan 25, 21:02
- you might be wondering.. yes, there is a male real doll, and YES.. there is a flaccid penis option. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 20:54
- The kinky stuff that will come around, because of Co-Vid and the lack of interaction, I think will stun us, for a long time -- nm* - Flavorize Jan 25, 20:53 1
  - i'm sure some desperate things have been done in lockdown that would haunt you if you knew about it. i'm sure that some couples in full lockdown went - colin Jan 25, 20:55
- you can buy spare faces and just pop a new one on when you get tired of the old one. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 20:53 2

  - i'm pretty sure it's a couple of nerds from Cali. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 20:47
- i missed the options page... apparently due to the gel buttocks, they should be stored HANGING UP LIKE A CORPSE IN A BUTCHER'S SHOP when not in use. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 20:45 1
  - nipple options are so detailed, there's a subpage for it off of the options page. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 20:46
The “Don’t worry. She’s got help” part of Avengers:Endgame is so dumb. -- (edited) - Volnelk Jan 25, 20:34 11
- I believe a lot of men already held that position. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 20:35 10

        Are they though? I mean, I generally like them. But there is room for argument that they all follow the same style of quippy one-liners that often... - Qale Jan 25, 20:54
        
        That's how I felt as well. But ... it's not *for* me. So my opinion on it isn't needed. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 20:44 1
        
        It is what it is its only a verry small fraction of the movie I didnt have a problem with it -- nm - eag Jan 25, 20:52

    - you know what cures the mehs? some of Islay's finest -- nm - crash davis Jan 25, 20:47
  - I mean, if Manchin was going vote against things that could theoretically by 50-50 votes (thereby making them NOT 50-50) then what's the point - ty97 Jan 25, 19:57
ESPN has dropped WWE coverage.... - Remlik Jan 25, 19:34 13
- What does this mean? Did ESPN report WWE results like they do basketball scores and now they won't? -- nm - Mop Jan 25, 19:52 3
  - ESPN.com had a WWE section, and the network had aired Wrestlemania events that had performed well enough. - David Jan 25, 20:21

That Houston video put a sour taste in my mouth. Then I watched the Navy video and felt better. Thanks USN! -- nm - crash davis Jan 25, 19:16 1
- I know ST is smart, but generally I think people forget that Houston is the 4th largest city (metro, whatever) in America. So, it can be rowdy. -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 20:28
