This was awesome. I laughed so hard. Made my day better.

#212Enjoyable read. I like how the Q&A playfully abstracts that Robert likes beating his meat to feet.
Sometimes you don’t need or want to know the low level details of your implementation :-)

#213> So why not just look at feet on Instagram, or screenshot them for yourself? What do you get out of posting them to another website? This question has always been weird to me, but apparently there are people who don’t experience “this thing is good, i wish to contribute” or “this has brought me joy, i wish to give something back”. I mean, thankfully there are still enough others that we can have Wikipedia, where you…
> there are people who don’t experience “this thing is good, i wish to contribute” or “this has brought me joy, i wish to give something back” I have literally never experienced this feeling. I've thought about why I haven't a lot, and for me I think it's because I have no inherent sense of "community".
Imagine you are reading wikipedia every day for years and really like its content and it gives a lot to you and then suddenly you see grave mistakes on some of the sites (like when I saw that wikipedia had the wrong year for nicolas cage's oscar win!), wouldn't you go "out of your way" to fix these mistakes? I mean wouldn't it annoy the living hell out of you to know that this mistake lives on while you go on consuming the rest of wikipedia? Nonetheless, ADDING stuff is a level higher but editing mistakes might be the first stepping stone...

#214All this is very sweet for some reason. I mean, its not the guyfs fault, right, its just the way he is wired? Now, if it would have been 'young kids' instead of 'feet' it would be rather more unsettling. And I don't think many would think "its not his fault".
Stealing photos to repost them on a fetish website without consent or license definitely is "the guy' fault".

#215Note to self: never get a page on IMDB. Not that there is any risk...
I ended up with a page on IMDB for participating in an episode of a tiny web streaming tech show years ago, and apparently you can't just get them removed. It isn't a high bar of fame/publicity to get stuck in there, unfortunately.

On wikipedia? As someone who has not spent years building up a reputation? No, it would just be reverted in ten seconds flat by whoever had nominated themselves as guardian of the truth about Nick Cage.

#218I went in thinking "meh, let's check" and was surprised and quite amused about the "wholesomeness" of what could have been a very strange encounter. He seemed respectful and she seemed unbothered by the whole ordeal. Interesting, not my cup of tea, but definitely interesting. Something else that caught my attention was how early he believes his interest for feet developed, as early as six and nine years of age. I won…
It’s pretty strange, I can remember liking feet in preschool and kindergarten. I have no idea why, though. Lately it’s gotten to be more of an “in theory” than “in practice” thing for me as I’ve come to learn about fungus and micro biome, etc. Eg https://au.news.yahoo.com/man-contracts-lung-infection-smell...
>I have no idea why, though.
You mean, besides them being awesome?

> Impressive leap of logic to deem downvoting racist. This seems to be the final argument nowadays when all else fails. I think that's cold for you to wilfuly misinterpret my point so. Fine, we'll apply it to the gold standard. In news.y for the 1800s someone recommending moving away from the gold standard would get downvoted to hell by those that "disagree". Their comment would grey and vanish to most. By encouragin…
> "downvote when disagreeing" could lead to structural discrimination against minorities. I don't see what I wrote as a willful misinterpretation. I guess I could have added sexist, homophobic, etc to the list. As for downvoting in general, I may not be able to fully appreciate your argument because of a fundamental difference in expectations. I don't really care about downvotes or upvotes or any other fake internet…
> I don't see what I wrote as a willful misinterpretation.
You were acting exasperated that I mentioned race but the example I chose wasn't relevant to the discussion. Apologies for choosing a contentious subject but in my defence you did write.
> This seems to be the final argument nowadays when all else fails.
Where you are stating my points have all failed and I'm grasping at straws: RUDE.
> I don't really care about downvotes or upvotes or any other fake internet validation of my value.
Neither do I and you're missing the point if you interpret it as karma-whoring. The point isn't you and isn't me, its the impact on the readers, the lurkers, on the 80% (us that write comments are always a minority) and if spread broadly enough: society. Its an outcome that prizes public consensus of a view over its voracity and I think that's a poor guideline to have in the coffee shops of the modern era.

> I have no idea why, though. Check out the "The Penfield homunculus" and note that in the brain's sensory map, where we process foot sensations is very close to genitalia.
Sure, but how is this relevant though?
It's other people's feet people like, not their own (and so don't themselves feel those sensations when they touch them or whatever).
