Hope Chemda’s leg is on the mend

Prison Reality Show
 

That prison reality show sounds horrific.

We’ve got a tv program over here called “Naked Attraction”

My favourite reality tv show is called “Tattoo Fixers” and it’s a parade of younger middle aged people with regrettable tattoos getting them covered over with nicer tattoos. Some one had a naked women tattooed on his stomach, legs open with the tummy button as her vagina. Disgusting :D:D:D His GROWN UP children had convinced him to get it covered up.

The Great British Bake Off is the best reality tv I've seen. They're not all mean and shitty to each other like other competition shows. Me and Mrs. Lazers love snuggling up on the couch for that one.

Nick has a cute voice and seems to be genuinely nice, and it makes my day better.

The only reality TV I've watched is The Ultimate Fighter.

I don't understand why anyone would watch a show where people live together in a house and then don't punch each other in the face at the end.

Nah bro. you gotta trim ya beard. At the verrrrry least, if you're afraid to mess with the meat of the beard, you oughta clean up the edges on your face. Unless you're in ZZ Top or a dude in Williamsburg circa 2016, it just won't end well.

Naked Attraction isn't quite as horrible as it sounds. It's pretty sex and body positive. Still a bizarre concept though.

Tattoo Fixers is the worst though. The tattoos they do are shit in themselves. Better than having your belly button as a vagina, but not good. You get a load of actually good tattoo places who offer free cover ups for anyone on who got a bad one done on Tattoo Fixers.

I'm glad that Chemda was talking about the mentality around restrictive diets like the keto one. They can be good short term, but they give you a shitty relationship with food. Food is meant to be enjoyed, don't torture yourself with it if you don't have to.

I feel like there's a big generational disconnect when it comes to understanding online video games.

The game those students played with the teacher is a pg game, it's not even bloody like an actual shooting game. I'm 27, f, been playing video games since I was 5. Fortnite is a free to play game you can get on most platforms not just Xbox, and most of the time you are being put in a match up against random people you don't know on the internet and the people on your team are random as well. I don't see the big deal with a teacher using video games a carrot on a stick to get kids to finish their homework. Better yet, if this is what your kid is into, why aren't you ever playing with them? Most parents don't give enough of a shit to fake a little interest in what their kids like.

If the teacher had agreed to play GTA with these kids in person I'd be concerned, but over an internet connection? With a harmless game like Fortnite? Nah.
