That new Adult Content rating thingy.

I changed my general settings to Adult Content then looked at my LJ.

All of my posts looked the same, with the same cut-tag. The only difference from one post to the next was the title and the music.

"Wow. What a boring journal," I said.

Eh. Forget it. I turned the settings off.

I have a percentage in being interesting to newcomers. Why read if I'm not?

I figure that between the Buddhism, school stuff, the whacked out mom (did I tell you about the time she told my friend Christopher he was the Antichrist?), David Hewlett videos, figure skating, laughing at George Bush our-new-peace-activist, annoying landlady, recs, memes, forgetting which toothbrush is whose -- yeah, I'm not seeing 50% explicit content. That setting's not for me.

In other news -- what did they do to TampaxTM? These haven't changed in 30 years and they're now... ow. They're short and stubby and too wide and shapped all wrong. Ow. This is not a place I want to hurt.

Well, I'm just used to it. I almost never use applicator-ones. I do like them for "dry moments", but as I usually don't buy them, I just use the simple ones. I think most Germans do actually. I do know though, that most Americans (at least in my experience) use ones with applicators and a friend of mine in the US had problems when she needed do borrow one from me for swim training.
Humiliating experiences do tend to form strong opinions I think. Also people grow attached to their habits. (Also the reason why we LIKE products the way they've always been.)

Exactly. And I'm more likely to try new things that I enjoy. Like new ice cream. I'll experiment. But trying new things that I don't enjoy? I just don't want to introduce a lot of variety.
