Remember all the excitment of the New Apartment? Cobes was actually stoked, he was streaming about it. Some people came to visit.

If he got his own trailer in that era it would have been amazing. Housewarming party with all the cretins, a multiday celebration, pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling and gallons of cobras mist

I hope Abbott fricks over football and infuriates his rural hick supporters.

I've read a lot about people being worried about the neighbours hearing them popping balloons, but they only seem to be worried because they think their neighbours might complain.

I never hear anyone talking about feeling embarrassed about the neighbours hearing.

This is my problem.

My neighbours make a lot of noise themselves, so I doubt they would care about the noise of balloons popping. So I don't really feel worried at all about them complaining.

But, I just feel so embarrassed about them hearing. I'm living in terraced housing and it's quite easy to hear through the walls. So not only will they hear balloons popping, they will hear a lot of the squeaks too.

They know I live here alone, so they're going to be thinking there's a grown man next door, bouncing on and squeezing balloons until they pop. They will either think I'm strange, or they will know it's a fetish. Everyone knows each other so they will probably talk about it to each other. I don't want to broadcast my fetish to the whole street.

I would give anything to be able to pop balloons, but this issue means I can't, it's really frustrating.

Anyone else feel embarrassed about the neighbours hearing squeaks and bangs?

Man it's tough when you'd give anything to pop a balloon but you just can't.

My favourite ways of popping produce very loud squeaks, and I think it's that noise combined with the bangs that will give it away.

But I could try and pop them in ways that don't produce squeaks though.

I may do some tests. Like putting different size inflated loons next to a soldering iron, turning the iron on, and then going downstairs to see how loud they are when they pop, I'll go outside too.

One poster rightfully points out what a noob error it is to be popping balloons without even conducting the soldering iron balloon pop experiment.

This is the really big problem, often times I had to quietly deflate them so as not to arouse suspicion.

Presumably this guy learnt the hard way after being confronted about the PFFFFFFFFFFFTPTPTPTP coming from his room all night.

I had security getting into my room in a NYC hotel (before I moved to NYC) because a balloon popped while I inflated it...

This was embarassing. Security saw the balloon shards and laughed.

They were propably alarmed because someone thought you shot somebody and were laughing in relief. I'm quite sure they were not making fun of you ^^

i do get worried about this too, so i try to pop only rarely so they don't see it as a regular thing. for me it's not just the noises of the balloon though ... i can be kinda vocal when if feels good, if you get my meaning

Imagine being this guy's neighbour trying to sleep next door

I mean, not really, because in the end, they still made it this far, and are still in contention for the double, and after all, they still finished the BuLi season undefeated, so it's not that bad.

With that being said…Jesus, they look awful today. Probably the worst they've looked all season long (which I suppose is just from exhaustion at this point)…and I don't think stoppage time magic can save them this time…

Lyrics

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,

Or tell you that.

But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it

Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder

Or return to where we were

But I will go down with peepee-shit

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction

To come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble

I understand if you can't talk to me again

And if you live by the rules of "it's over"

Then I'm sure that that makes sense

I will go down with peepee-shit

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet

Which I'm sure we will

All that was there

Will be there still

I'll let it pass

And hold my tongue

And you will think

That I've moved on....

I will go down with peepee-shit

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

I will go down peepee-shit

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

I will go down peepee-shit

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

So they're talking about people in the past (ie our time) and one of them expresses shock that back in the day, if two dudes were in the woods alone, they wouldn't have s*x with each other. And he says that it must demonstrate that they had extreme levels of self control, and the other is like nahh, it just shows how bigoted they were against gay people. Like obviously if your in the woods you have a bro shag, that's not about extreme self control, that's just common sense. And these guys back then (ie now) hate gay people so much that they force themselves not to. Like it seems kind of evil doesn't it? Like imagine if you were black and met a racist, and even though you were in a tiny cabin in the woods he demanded that a separate door be put in so that he didn't have to use the same door as you. It's like that, a psychopathy that just goes out of its way, beyond all reason, to hurt its victim.

I think heinlein would write something like this
