and at 2000% !!!

The point is: the idea was simple and silly. the world is large, and people with a particular sense of humor and a few dollars in excess are all over the world.
Long live the internet!

In this instance 'Feminine ' might be a technically more accurate descriptor than female, at least if you need a biological label. Female works well enough if you describing gender identity and more power to them I say.

It does make some of the smitten adolescent outpourings of some of the PMT membership more poignant/ amusing in retrospect, if only because it's not difficult to picture the actual gender politics/ outlook of most of them.

I am clearing missing something on TMP - and it is not John the OFM!  Guess I should wander over the "favela" that is TMP and take a look...

Excuse me, I have friends who live in 'favelas'. Please don't tar them with the brush of TMP.

Okay.

Spent a fair amount of time researching 'neighborhoods' (including favelas and barrios and trying to explain how those terms relate to neighborhoods for some in the IC) for work and there certainly are some common themes geographically speaking for these features.

Could be spending a lot of time working Latin America Issues of safety and security in the next year plus...

Edit: I expect a lot of Latin American terms to creep into my spoken and written everyday usage...

Gracias,

Glenn

Rock Bottom... :-I

Nope...

There's plenty of creative silly/weird* stuff and concepts getting funded, but there are decent games and useful things: Audatia and the Quickey, for instance.

*On Indiegogo, the Autoblow 2: A Realistic Robotic Oral Sex Simulator For Men has received 344% funding for what looks like a Dyson... :o For those who ask, I didn't search for it, it's the first item under the Trending Now section on the front page - one can't ignore it without bookimarking specific campaigns.
