Those people have never seen someone who has been hit by an air bag. It's not a gentle pillow it's a punch to the face and if you aren't strapped in you're probably gonna bounce around a bit off the interior.

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement..

Smokers can never smell themselves so they don't think it's a big deal.

Is that giving a donkey an enema or preforming an enema with a donkey or is it utilizing a donkey to perform an enema..

I thought the consensus was that was money laundering?

If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I'll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to "reset" to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by "Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes" which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I listen to the daily and even now they still use euphemisms for Trump's lies instead of calling them lies. I understand it's because you can't know intent but it's still annoying.

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it "ear clicking" since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

I don't want to block it. I want to see the list of things worth 300 percent or whatever.

I mean do they care a bit. If it doesn't sell at auction or goes for basically nothing they could lose whatever value they gave to you for trade in.

The liberals are not left wing by most measures. They are probably best described as slightly right. You get the usual Neo liberal economics but you don't get the regressive social issues.
