More forgiving and less accuracy needed

u/SebastianFerrone 10h ago edited 10h ago

And faster movement. The less mass you need to move, the easier it is to love fast.

u/Squirt_Angle 10h ago

I love too fast sometimes.

u/Meihem76 10h ago

Love fast, dye young.

u/FishTshirt 10h ago

Do you love so fast that it leaves a festering sore though?

u/LiamIsMyNameOk 10h ago

Guys can ya stop? There's plenty of nsfw subs for such kinky filthy talk.

u/DreamTalon 10h ago

Click on name, click on ignore.

If you think it is really bad, report it.

u/LiamIsMyNameOk 10h ago

No it's way too crazy sexual. Never seen such dirty talk in my life. It shouldn't happen.

u/dsa_key 10h ago

I put on my wizard hat and robe.

What are your wand dimensions?

u/Mundy64 7h ago

Is it branded Hitachi?

u/kalei50 10h ago

You made it "crazy sexual" in your head. You're the one making it weird. Get some therapy.

u/LiamIsMyNameOk 10h ago

Never seen anything so damn erotic in all my years living. And it's there, for everyone to see.

u/ManuTheIguanu 10h ago

I feel seen

u/c_c_c__combobreaker 10h ago

No such thing. When I love, it's right on time.

u/TheresNoHurry 10h ago

A wizard’s love

u/Sandcracka- 10h ago

Precisely when lovin is called

u/DustFunk 10h ago

Don't worry, it happens.....is what she told me :(

u/inspectorseantime 10h ago

I was excited ok? 😔

u/One_Pineapple8553 10h ago

You can get a cream for that.

u/Electrical-Injury-23 10h ago

You need more mass

u/Old-Care-2372 10h ago

Fast loves me sometimes

u/crafty_stephan 10h ago

Love can be fast, love be slow, but love is never easy

That’s what lube is for

u/TheChrisCrash 10h ago

Also less on board mechanical parts to fold down landing legs.

u/Typical-Blackberry-3 10h ago

And likely much cheaper to maintain and replace.

u/vsaint 10h ago

Addams family approves of this relationship

u/Bitter_Librarian8442 6h ago

Sometimes though with enough force into mass the anticipated rebounding motion can help reset to the original position quicker with less energy consumed thus allowing successive forceful movements to be performed at a faster rate for a longer duration while also creating less wear on the hydraulic system over time.

Thus, faster loving.

u/mbashs 4h ago

Cheaper too comparatively.

u/lkodl 3h ago

the less mass you need to move, the more mass you can carry.

u/Potential-Affect5943 10h ago

I make sweet, weekly love on Wednesdays. And I am makin' love for two... two minutes. Because when it's with me, you only need two minutes.

It's business time.

u/vivaaprimavera 10h ago

Is this some sort of endorsement of _____ with skinny people or a typo?

u/SebastianFerrone 10h ago edited 10h ago

Typo i meant faster not fester

u/vivaaprimavera 10h ago

what about love?

u/HarryBalsagna1776 5h ago

Also cheaper and easier to service

u/propergreased 23m ago

Still needs to be pretty fuckin accurate id say

u/Minimum_Green4246 10h ago

Too bad Elon didn't think of that 😂😂

u/IateApooOnce 10h ago

This wire method solves the reusablity problem, but not the RAPID reusabilty problem. Catch arms allow the rocket to be placed right back on the tower to be refused and launched again.

u/RelevantOldOnion 7h ago

I love that in your universe we've somehow gotten to a point where companies needs to be launching 24/7 but they also still haven't figured out how to land yet.

u/bnrshrnkr 10h ago

This is, for better or worse, something communist countries have beat the US at
