Has existed on the battlefield since the cold war, every medic is trained to use it. You can even buy them for camping
http://www.first-aid-product.com/industrial/blood-stopper.htm

>>391030
When I was in basic we learned how to use those. The difference between those and >>391018 is that this new thing is made to properly fill the puncture, whereas those hemostatic pads would have to be layered, have a lot more air/escape routes, and take a lot longer. This stuff will close off blood escape routes far faster and more reliably. Even at $100/pop, these things will save more than enough soldiers to make them worth their weight in gold.

>>391030
Not quite chum.

>>391031
Exactly. There are also blue dyes on them because they'll be so deep in you you might need x-rays to find them all which is a problem in previous methods.

>>391031
Yeah but it's not as if every wound can be filled with a dildo, that's pretty much just for pistol rounds and very tiny shrapnel. Every rifle round will do a through and through, or cause massive trauma that can't be dealt with using that device. Larger shrapnel, tears from blast force, grenade blasts.... I'm not saying it's not worth the money, just that it doesn't really solve the issue of wounds on the battlefield, the article talks about it as though from now on soldiers won't have to worry about being shot.

>>391039
I don't think you get this, they are sponges, if the wound is through and through they simply fill in everything from front to back.

If the wound isn't fatal and bleeding out this is the best solution for an immediate life saving tool.

So my best friend, probably my only "close" friend right now, is getting married in May (I'll be a groomsman.) Two things we've always has a shared interest for are Transformers and Legos. So, as a wedding gift, I'm going to give them a Transformer and a Lego set. Each will have a card: The Transformer card will talk about how they will combine to form a greater unit than each of them could be separately or will change over the years to be better than what we see on the outside (depends on what I get him.) The Lego set will have a card about them building a life together, and how they can choose to follow the instructions given by others they should toss those aside and do as they please if the nerve strikes them.

And a single fork. It's part inside joke (I once tried to stab my friend in the hand with a fork), part practical gift (just in case no one else gets them forks; but only one, they'll have to share.)

I should ask /toy/ what the best of each would be to give.

>>391048
They'll tell you to get a Transformers KRE-O set.

>>391048
> So my best friend, probably my only "close" friend right now, is getting married

Prepare to never see him again.

>>391050
No. Even if they would mix the themes well, I'm not buying inferior toys for my friend for his wedding. Only quality toys.

When will Plus4 add WebM support?

i got a date with a girl i like a lot

hell ye

>>391070
Let meus know know it goes.
Because weI live vicariously through others.

Left him a love note under one of his 40k models. Well, not so much a love note as a "thank you for being such a supportive boyfriend during such a shitty period in my life, I love you and love spending time with you" note.

I hope he finds it this week but I suppose it depends on if he plays this week. If not this week at least before his birthday this month. It's not like it's urgent.

I was too nervous to hand it to him directly or leave it out in the open. Which is silly, he already knows how I feel but... I wanted to write a letter. Last time I wrote something I went to throw it away but he took it and kept it. I'd rather him have something more positive.

I will marry Rin Nakai. This is my vow.

>>391087

>>391096

I should've just thrown that curry away instead of soldiering on through the pain. Eating it was one thing, but the aftermath...
I can barely walk now. So much fucking pain.

Anyone know where I can find some natural reserved female poses for art reference?

date's tomorrow
hitting up a teppanyaki place and getting some coffee
i'm really excited. i hope it goes well.

You think it's kinda fucked up that if someone lives long enough, they can forget about past loves? I don't mean because of senility or any other mental disease ravaging their brain. But that after an indeterminate length of time passes, someone might just forget about that girl or boy they used to like back in middle school, simply because they aren't important anymore. I think it only just dawned on me that since love is just like any other form of mutual emotion between peoples its endurance is tied to its strength, and weak relationships will be forgotten just as they were broken apart due to that weakness.

>>391173

It's kinda the same with "bad" relationships, too.

I know for a fact that I had friends in school that I eventually drove away by "being me", which often segued into those now-ex-friends becoming people who'd make fun of me/bully me.

Thing is, after more than a decade away from school, I can't even remember any of those people's names, let alone their faces or voices or whatever. Sure, I remember a few of my old schoolmates (if just by name) because they played some major role in shaping the person I would become, but I don't remember them well (usually just by name or a vague recollection of appearance).

That's life. Life, in and of itself, is fucked up. Get used to it.

>>391173
I think about this a lot. I find it especially interesting that my first break up was really hard for me and all I can specifically remember about that relationship were the bad things that happened. I can't specifically remember a single good moment, only vague recollections of something nice happening. It's bizarre

You all sound like you've lived very short lives.

Apparently, A&E used to have a series about convicts trying to scare would-be-convicts straight, and one tactic was pissing in a guy's mouth or something (?!), and he managed to catch that episode. It was just hilarious how he instantly made that connection, and this guy is kinda stupid.

Lidia Valentin, holy shit awesome.

the date went really well, i think
although APPARENTLY my town's Yu-Gi-Oh locals take place at the local coffee shop on Friday nights
so that was interesting and fun (and good to know, i might get involved)
sighs i like her

>>391190
Did you drop a "trap card" reference? If so, did she get it?

>>391191
Nah, but we talked about card games a bit. She used to play Magic with some friends, while I've played Yu-Gi-Oh since I was like 13.
The card game community is basically identical to the FGC, which meant there was mad hype surrounding us, it was really fun+funny to listen to.

Friend might be a misogynist. Don't know what to do. Send help.

Do I just let him learn he's retarded the hard way (letting him get rejected and rightfully shit on over and over) or do I make an attempt to educate him? I don't really have the energy for this IRL.

>>391195
If you don't want to try and help him out, don't. He'll either learn eventually, or he won't. If you're fine with those options, there's no real need for you to step in.

>>391195
arguments aren't magic

if you care enough you can try, but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work

Fuck. Quick recap: My folks bought a home north of me but can't move in until the Fall so I was going to live there in the meantime so it wasn't empty.

Today my mom contacted me and told me that the people currently living there still won't have their new house complete before their move out day (they had already arranged to continue living there until the end of May, but now it's extended beyond that.) What's more, my dad (pastor) has got a call to a church south of here, much further away, and if he accepts (he's here right now visiting with them, I think, before making the decision) then he'll live in their parsonage. My folks will still buy the home and just rent it out; problem is, it's highly unlikely I could afford the rent (looks like the area goes for 50-100% more than I pay right now.) I think he's going to accept, too, unless something really goes wrong during his visit.

Which is great for them, but I was looking forward to having a place completely to myself, if only for two or three months. Then I'd have a few months rent free as I waited for a room in my current place to open back up. I even started packing already (just one box today; but in the past I usually don't pack until the very last week so that was a change).

She said I could probably live in the (apparently large) basement, but it's even further from work than my last place was. While I could use the $600, it's not worth living in my parent's basement again with a longer commute.

>>391196
>>391197

I mostly wanted to say something because I don't feel like talking about the stuff or hearing his bullshit. Personally, I don't care if he does crash and burn because the dude is full of himself for no reason and has his head way, way up his ass sometimes. This goes far beyond the subject of just women, too. Dude needs a hard reality check (and I've given him one before) but I'm not sure if I'm the one to do it this time, and honestly, I don't know if I have the energy to keep doing it. You can blame part of this on him being really argumentative and I'm not in the mood to constantly get into arguments with friends.

He's also really desperate and probably pushy (which likely surprises no one). He's probably just really horny or whatever but will never admit to it, as much as he was pretending he was into his last girlfriend. It was a very self-absorbed relationship from what I understood.

Coming up with good names truly is the worst part of writing.

i got a real job and also today i turned 21.

Happy birthday. I keep forgetting how young you are. I shouldn't talk, though, I'm only 25...and only just turned 25 in the past month.

Hey, Slowpoke, what was the name of that JAV starring that girl with the phat ass? I dunno if you remember what I'm talking about, but you brought it up some months ago. I've been meaning to look into more of her work but forgot her name. posting this here instead of the sex thread because of convenience and he's right there.

When I'm around people like that, I let them crash at least once. Then when they're complaining about it I just "drop a line of wisdom" and walk out of the room, or go back to whatever I'm doing just to do whatever it takes not to turn it into an argument.

Wonder con anyone?

Holy shit, we actually had a day (Apr 16th) with no CP posts.

I think I know why I odn't try to improve myself.
Somewhere along the way, I developed a fear that the effort won't be worth it. That somehow, even if I get great at something, I still won't be happy, so why bother.

How can I destroy this fear so I can move on?

>>391312
>He’s also lost almost three kilos since his last checkup, 7.1 to 5.3.

Uhm, what kind of cat do you have? Because unless it's one of those huge breeds like the Maine Coon, 7 Kg is definitely WAY too much.

An overweight cat is neither a healthy nor a happy cat. If the little buddy comes out OK from this connundrum, losing that weight actually would be a positive consequence.

>>391321

>>391321
Norwegian Forest. Second largest breed, oldest European, if I recall.

>>391316
If it's anything like it is with humans, they don't cut open anything, they just go through the anus to kind of slowly dig it out bit by bit.

>>391327
I would assume it is. Cutting someone open does serious trauma to the body, and it's better to avoid it in any situation possible.

To be fair, he hasn't passed that last big one still in his gut yet. But the fact that I have to put a bunch of towels on my bed means his pipes are mostly unclogged, right?

I hate my mind. I can't wait for the day when it stops futilely trying to hold on to any semblance of life so I can stop caring completely and just spiral into a pile of walking depression and lose everything.

Life will become so much easier at that point. Well, in one sense: I'll just not give a shit about anything so I won't have any stress mental stress, only physical.

You shouldn't worry about others' approval for what hobbies make you happy. If you had fun with the Bionicle and LEGO, you didn't "waste" anything. Life's too short to live it for other people, 13. As long as it doesn't hurt others, do what pleases you.
Feeling guilty for your pleasures won't make you have "better" taste, you'll just keep being upset for being who you are. And that's stupid.
Have fun, even if it's nerdy shit for dumb gay babies.
>>391381
I liked Transcendence. Not amazing, but pretty darn interesting imo.

>>391385

Alla that first bit. If someone makes you feel ‘guilty’ about enjoying a movie, book, piece of music, videogame or other form of entertainment/hobby, that someone wants to make themselves feel better about their own tastes (and make themselves feel better about their own life choices, by extension).

Sheeeeeeeeeeit, I still listen to a handful of fuckin’ Debbie Gibson songs on a fairly regular basis and watch pro wrestling at least once a week — but no one will ever make me feel guilty about those things.

If you like Legos, play with Legos. If you like My Little Pony, enjoy watching the technicolor pones. So long as you don't try to force your tastes upon others and don't hurt anyone with your hobbies/etc., you have nothing — AND THE ROCK MEANS NOTHING — over which to feel guilty and you have no reason to let others dictate your choices for entertainment and hobbies.
