the Ranger is still going fine. Maybe I’ll look into getting a JP jeep when it’s time to buy a new vehicle. I ate the MRE and it was fine but I got diarrhea. I don’t post on twitter as much anymore but this thread inspired me to go back and look at my old ones and there’s some real gems from 2009-2010 (ah how I miss the good old days) @JamesRKirk ---

Interesting revival pattern this thread has- once for eBay, once for poop. (I think MREs are supposed to digest well. They don’t stop you up, you just poop less, like dogs do with quality dog food.) ---

There are men who use penis pumps for ED (and insurance sometimes pays for them, especially with a prescription) but it doesn’t make their junk bigger except in the moment. There’s a pharmacist in my town who used to have his own store, and it was in the same building as a urologist, so he was the go-to guy regarding their use. When he sold his store to a nearby grocery store and went to work for them, they constructed a private room for his consultations. ---

Forgive my ignorance here but I was under the impression that penis pumps were for aesthetic purposes only and had no functional use; meaning you couldn’t “use it” after pumping it up. But that sounds kinda stupid so maybe I’m wrong… ---
