Subscription cock rings

[ErikB]

Trojan came up with this idea: single-use vibrating cock rings that you can have a subscription to. The amount of unnecessary waste this would generate is offensive to me. Louis Rossman is an activist for right-to-repair. He hates the whole you-can't-fix-it-yourself, own-nothing-and-be-happy trend. He was born in and grew up in New York City. He recently (within the last year or so) finally had enough of New York's BS and moved his repair business to Texas. His specialty is repairing Apple laptops, but someone decided to notify him of what Trojan is trying, and sent him a cock ring that stopped working. We get to see him diagnose and fix the problem, sort-of. He didn't have a replacement set of batteries that were exactly the right size, but will order some. There was some dead space about 2/3 of the way trhrough the video because he tried to go to the CVS across the street and went out of range of the microphone. That was on the Odysee version of the video. I just rewatched the YouTube version and apparently he cut out most of the gap.

I had JUST signed on to VNA, and noticed on another tab that a new video from him was available. Just my luck, this was the topic.

This is a really good philosophy to live by, where are we going to be in the future; our landfills are already full and the oceans are filled with floating islands of garbage. RE-USE REPAIR -RECYCLE! I blame Amazon and Walmart for this problem for making everything so cheap that people just throw stuff away and everything becomes disposable.

Well, it's just humanity. Everyone wants to make more money. It's getting harder and harder to do, so manufacturers have taken to shrinking the size of their products, but not saying anything about it. Less product, more cost.

Being now a dinosaur, I grew up fixing things. I bet half of you never even heard of vacuum tubes, lol. There was no 'card' to fix. Everything was out in the open - tubes, components, wiring, all right there. Now, with automated manufacturing making circuit cards by the boatload, mini and microminiaturization, everything is just throw-away. We've become that type of society - throwaway.

Fixing things is a lost art. I"m always running across videos about folks doing the old processes, knife carving, for example (Whittling) No one does that anymore. fine woodwork, lots of personal work that's gone away.

He had two more installments, but got the philosophical stuff out in the first video. Interestingly, I can't find the first video on his YouTube channel page, even though it is still available to this thread. All three are still listed on his Odysee page, so I am guessing that he made it some sort of restricted video where you have to know the path on YouTube. The links to the two Odysee videos are here, but they are just watching him trying to fix things.

The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, "Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?"

No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, "You should not be asking sixth graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!"

Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, "Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"

Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, "Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!"

The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, "Anybody?"

Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, "The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye."

Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to Mary and continued. "As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:

One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn't read your homework And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed."

That's funny!

Also, I don't remember most of my teachers from K through 6. In high school (7 through 12 for us), my Mrs. Park(s) was a film communications teacher. Mrs. Edie would have been the one to handle biology. And I don't think I would have been doing irises in 6th grade, but again I don't remember.

Another bit of sex-toy advice from Louis Rossmann, the guy who fixed the cock ring. Apparently there are computer-virus-laden dildos out there.
