          I didnt know that only white people had internet access before 99. I’m glad they let us in, eventually. I had internet access at school before 99, but it must’ve been a white school or something.

          It must be cool to be white and immune to being poor.

          Edit: this comment was a Lone Ranger quote. Not just nonchalant racism. I haven’t seen that movie in ages. It is a classic. Carry on friend. I apologize for assuming the worst.

    Not as impressive but in the town where I grew up there is a really skinny woman who seems to be jogging like non stop. When I was in elementary school there was a rumor saying she had some disease which would make her heart stop if she stopped running and all the kids thought it was true. A few years ago when mentionning it to a younger sister (6 years difference) I learnt the rumor was still going strong when she was a kid, and then we both learnt that it was still the case when our even younger sister (12 years difference) was a kid.

      There was an old man and his elderly wife that would take regular walks by my school as a kid. The woman looked like she was made of plastic and the rumors were that she was a giant doll. They called her the barbie lady. When my sister went to school it was just the man walking and the rumors were that he melted his wife and made his cane with her. Kids are WILD. Those poor elderly people were just trying to have a damn walk lol

      Damn… It was just him walking though that sucks :(

        Stewart actually mentioned this in a recent interview. According to him, he had a gay personal assistant that he ended up firing, and the guy spread this rumor for revenge.

    Heh. I think that was one of the first things I ever went down a rabbit hole to understand on The Internet. And it eventually led me to learn that with just a bit of yoga (which you should do anyway since it is a great way to improve flexibility and general muscle health) you don’t need to remove the rib. Admittedly, I have too much of a “dad bod” and a “beer gut” these days. But… it is totally a thing.

        It’s… okay.

        Feels like sucking a dick (which is fine if you’re into that, which I am), but with a lot of back and abs discomfort, which I am definitely not into.

        But yeah it’s not actually super hard to do, just needs a few weeks of practice, and maybe a slightly lower body fat percentage so you aren’t getting in your own way.

      That one is at least easy to disprove and isn’t even plausible. Marilyn Manson totally had ribs removed, just not until later on when he lost most of his shock value and he needed to get it back

      Turns out all he really had to do was be a heinous sexual criminal
