I literally got the same message a few days ago and immediately showed my wife. She laughed a little TO hard if you ask me, but whatever. Lol

Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.

The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.

I'm not sure if anybody said it yet, but I think a simple figure embracing something would be pretty universal for a "save" and then delete would be that figure rejecting something by putting his hands up and turning its head.

The cards take a beating and before Amazon existed it was much harder to get replacements. We tried regular playing cards, but that only works if every deck has different backs for scoring purposes. I think there was another issue in practice, but that was the main frustration.

Legretto

I was introduced to the game by an Austrian woman I dated in my 20s and 25 years later remains at the top of my list of party games.

Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000 the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. - Wikipedia>

Yeah, it's cheap. Sorry for the lack of clarity and brevity. Lol.

I couldn't get any faster than about a minute and a half using the beginner method so I decided to try learning CFOP. At first I got way slower because there are more algorithms to remember but I saw how some others have modified it a bit to make it simpler and practiced when I could (i.e. watching TV like you lol) and now I can solve it in about a minute.

That's clearly not competitive in any way but I'm really just competing against myself so I'm happy with any Improvement. That's light years better than where I started and to people that don't know there are 11-year-olds online doing it in 8 seconds, my one minute is pretty impressive! 😂 Happy cubing, my friend!

I got a couple Rubik's cubes for my kids a few years ago for nostalgia and they didn't want anything to do with them once they realized it wasn't easy to fix.

I tried to encourage them to keep plugging at it but they said "how am I supposed to do this if you can't?" I realized they had a point so I downloaded an illustrated book that takes you step by step through the beginner method, and after a couple of hours I solved it!

I felt like I had climbed Everest and the first thing my kids did was scramble it again as soon as I showed them. That was the beginning of me getting into cubing as a hobby, and I have to say it's one of the LEAST expensive hobbies I've ever been a part of!

Like with any hobby there are entry-level cubes and then enthusiast cubes that are more feature-rich and expensive. But the Delta between the two is surprisingly small. The cube that I use the most is one that has won world records and it was about $20 I think?

I have bought several variations of the 3X3 and other form factors. I have also bought a few as gifts as well as a Bluetooth connected cube with an accompanying robot and I don't think I've spent more than $300-$350 total for the lifetime of the hobby.

That said you could easily be competitive with a world class cube, a timer, a mat, and some "Cube Lube" for maintenance all for about $60-$80 no prob. It's about the only hobby I have my wife fully endorses, lol.

I don't see how because a foot fetish is an attraction to someone else's feet, as in "feet that don't have a neighboring nerve connected to the same part of the brain that controls said foot pervert's dong."

This is actually science related to the electrical impedances of nerve and brain tissue.

The connection between foot nerve stimulation and genital stimulation is a physical one that can (and has) been measured and reproduced. This response is nearly universal and affects men and women, unlike a foot fetish.

I think a better explanation for the fetish is that feet are a part of the body that is often covered and seen as generally dirty, giving it a taboo allure other non-sexual parts of the body don't usually have, but that's less neurology and more just my opinion. Lol

Edit: added the usually

No, but the closeness in orientation explains why foot rubs are erotic. Stimulation of the foot and toe region of the brain will affect the neighboring genital region causing arousal.

Aw man. No dice. For some reason I thought I remembered seeing brain dicks, but I was wrong.

This painting doesn't even mention genitals!

The book is from 1953, so maybe that's why.

Edit: wasn't able to share photo before but I just took a new one and it worked.

I'm an EEG/Sleep technologist and an older coworker just gifted me an ancient book with a similar image inside that may have the genitals. I'll check when I'm back in my office and upload if applicable. 👍🧠🍆

Couldn't have said it better myself! 👍
