Plumbing, since I’ve been a professional plumber in both North America and Europe. Not the most interesting knowledge base but alas, it is what it is. Other than that, Age of Empires II maybe?

Literally the only name I could think of.

What. The. Fuck.

As a circumcised male, please don’t. Like countless others have said, it’s a bizarre cultural practice that leads to a desensitized tip, and most of the world thinks it’s fucked up. There’s literally no benefits.

France is the absolute worst for this. I once spent ten minutes in a bar trying to figure out who ‘Kenny West’ was… I kept asking my friends if they’re sure that’s how the name is pronounced.

It was Kanye. He even says his name in most of his own songs…

This might be the general ‘best practice’ today for plumbing, but even as recent as 1998 I wouldn’t count on it. It was technically not against code in Canada around 5 years ago as long as the piping was done in fire-rated materials. Also it’s pretty much impossible to not have at least some wiring in party walls.

"What’s the bullshit?’ = How are you?

Totally. I forgot all about expanded tryna, as I almost never hear it outside of television. You may be on to something there.

This might be a regional difference, but when I say it out loud, ‘tryna not kill myself’ is by far the more natural construction. But I agree that in writing, ‘trying not to kill myself’ feels more natural, while ‘trying to not kill myself’ feels stilted and intentionally awkward. Man I love language.
