I know a guy with a “Made in Thailand” tattoo. I think it’s pretty funny. Something that small shouldn’t cost very much.

I confess those are precisely the kind of tattoos young people get, then “regret” later on. And I confess that as an old person, I find those kinds of tattoos trite, rather than funny.

I totally get that, and feel the same way about many tattoos. The guy I mentioned is in his 50s. Doesn’t really regret it. Suppose it just depends on the individual.
So, we had this exact conversation in the first flame free thread - anna mentioned her tattoo idea, you replied with the made in thailand comment, and I said that a made in china tattoo on the base of a girl’s neck is a hybrid between a tramp stamp and a brand on a trafficking victim.

I remember that now. I felt like it had been talked about before. That dude always comes to mind when I’m in tattoo conversations.
I didn’t think the base of the neck was a good spot, for the connotations you mentioned, but since I didn’t think it was gonna actually happen I didn’t feel the need to point that out.
Nailed it. I was trying to be “nice” LOLLLL due to #flamefree.

Well, I may have just messed it up, but I had preceded it last time with a direct suggestion not to do it, with that as my explanation. I dunno if that makes it flame free, but either way it’s just my way of saying not to do it. At least,

Confession: My roommate usually brings his girlfriend over on Mondays so she’ll be in our room sitting on my roommates bed. I had to exit the room 2 times to unleash some legendary fumes from gorging on chili.
I confess I have no idea what the word latex means in this context. (In my world, latex is a substance of which many medical devices are made, and to which an inconvenient proportion of medical pts are allergic.)

It’s actually pronounced La-Tek. (Never knew why the x was in there).
It’s basically a programming/customization language for writing technical papers. Better configurations for equations and source/footnote control than word, libreoffice, or pages.

When I receive documents in Latex, I reserve the right to inflict violence upon the sender.
You are supposed to publish it to pdf form before sending. Someone is messing up.
I am doing a group project with my friend(that one) and two other members of the Econ research club. I came up with the topic and have barely had to do anything besides put together a couple of slides
After having to take the lead in pretty much every group project since middle school, I confess it feels nice to be able to free ride for once
If you do it now I got a feeling you’ll regret it 5 to 10 years down the road lol

I haven’t seen latex cause this much of an uproar since Catholic school.
