I guess we’re going to do a sexy-link day to get everyone ready for Thicc Thursday.
Does anyone else read that an OK state senator was caught paying for sex with a boy, and then find out the boy was actually a 17 year-old young man, that they may have been smoking the marijuana before hand, and the first question was to wonder if the younger man was of Mexican origin? Rep. Shortey, if you’re one of ours, please drop us a note in the Leads/Submissions and we’ll let you tell your side.
Man, is the Tokyo Daily Star going to be popular here. First, a trip to where your Real Doll was made. Tell us which picture is your girlfriend.

When my SIL got divorced at a young age, the marriage counselor described virginity as “A gift that you can re-wrap”.
Huh, hymenoplasty is only $2-5k in the US. Totes worth it.

So, as nice as all of Trump’s proposed budget cuts are, what’s the point when all of the money that’s “cut” (assuming they’re real cuts) is going into the military budget? It doesn’t seem like he’s actually cutting anything. Plus there’s the whole thing with the budget bringing back the Ex/Im Bank.
If I’m going to have the gov. waste a dollar, I’d rather they waste it on the military side of the ledger, rather than the crush-the-economy-and-the-spirit-of-the subjects side of the ledger.
I will agree with you when the military comes to me and tells me I have to ‘restore’ land or that I cant harvest timber from creek bottoms or that I cant burn the leaves in my yard.
This seems nearly exactly like something Scott Adams would propose – cuts more extreme than the Senators who hate the agencies, etc (state dept etc) – get everyone howling and focused on it, then walk things back a bit and they’ll jump on it. I mean, it’s the exact same playbook as everything we saw last year.

So it turns out Keep on Masturbating: Non-Stop Pleasure aka Serial Masturbation: Disorder doesn’t actually have any scenes of masturbation. I call shenanigans at the bastard who came up with that name, because if I’d rented this just based on title, I would have been pissed.
What’s the ICD-10 for serial masturbation “disorder”, anyway?
10-1-3-11 15-15-6
Oof-da, as the Minnesohhhhhtans say.
F42.8 and maybe N53.9
Wikipedia doesn’t list any N53 codes.
Unspecified male sexual dysfunction
Constant masturbation isn’t sexual dysfunction.
At least, not until you can’t climax any more.

Does anyone else read that an OK state senator was caught paying for sex with a boy, and then find out the boy was actually a 17 year-old young man, that they may have been smoking the marijuana before hand, and the first question was to wonder if the younger man was of Mexican origin? Rep. Shortey, if you’re one of ours, please drop us a note in the Leads/Submissions and we’ll let you tell your side.
Wait, isn’t OK’s age of consent 16? How is this an issue?
It’s the weed, not the sex.
Also paying for sex.
Damn, how is this a real event that happened? “Guy pays for ass sex with Mexican, both smoke pot” is literally the most H&R thing that ever H&R-ed.
OK does hate the grass.
Its the paid sex and the weed, I’m guessing.
If the rentboy really is Mexican, doesn’t that mean we have achieved the libertarian singularity? Mexicans, ass-sex, and pot, all in one, err, package?
That’s fair. Some of the articles I’d seen earlier mentioned he was under aged, which is why I was confused when it turned out he was over the local AoC.
If it turns out the Mexican is selling his ass-sex and pot because he’s an orphan, I’ll probably actually die laughing.
As long as the kid wasn’t circumcised and they weren’t eating deep-dish…
Throw in a conceal carry license and you’ve got libertarian nirvana!!
Probably because he paid for sex. In Massachusetts sugar daddy politicians marry their boys and everything is alright.
See? Traditional values.
He was first elected to the state Senate in 1991. Rosenberg, 66, and Hefner, 29, have been in a relationship since 2008 and they’ve been engaged since February 2015.
I like that they give you enough information to figure it out but don’t tell you that He has been in the Senate since his husband was 4.
Hefner considered joining his husband in the Senate.
Hefner needs to get himself established before Rosenberg retires. Rock, hard place and all that.
I know in some places there are different consent ages for straight and gay sex. How that is not the epitome of discriminatory bullshit, I can’t tell you, but it exists.
It was explained on the other site.

You looked at the link. Don’t think I didn’t count the number of views before I posted it.
No, I really didn’t. I can’t from my work computer, youtube is firewalled.
Okay, so I read the article. Am I a bad person for being happy she’s dead?
It’s satire, dude.
Okay, consider me officially trolled. but in all fairness, this could have appeared word for word in Huffpo and no one would have batted an eye.
Totally agree with you there.
I don’t know if it’s good satire or not when most of the articles actually look like they are real.
I’ve come to the conclusion that we just don’t have the creativity to make up something satirical about Leftists that one of them (probably an Ivy League professor) hasn’t averred seriously. It’s a fool’s errand.
(SF excluded, of course… that was NOT a challenge)
(….please don’t take it as a challenge)
I think it’s a good thing. The more people are fooled and outraged over stupid shit, the less likely they are going to be to trust everything they hear.
Besides, there will always be some section of society who falls for parody. There were people who took A Modest Proposal seriously and were outraged.
If they weren’t all told in their “Honors” English classes, I suspect a fair number of today’s content generators for “news” sites wouldn’t be able to puzzle that out for themselves.

Time for a real life story from the Life of Gojira: Why I Hate My Mother.
In the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school, we left our old Kentucky home for the Big City in Texas. Later that year, I dated a girl for a couple of months. When I first told my mother this (in prelude to asking for some money to go on a date), her first question, I shit you not, was not, “Oh, what’s her name?” or “Oh, when will we get to meet her?” or any other embarrassing mom thing.
No, folks, the first fucking words out of her mouth were, “Is she white?”, with a worried, hesitant look on her face.
I couldn’t believe it. I stormed out, which she probably attributed to my being a 15 year old and so being moody.
FWIW, the chick was a Jewess, so I don’t know if that counts as white or not.
So she was comfortable with interspecies relationships so long as it was scaley on white sex? Or was this before you…transitioned. I always just assumed you were cis-lizard
I can just hear it now
“I was just talking to Mrs Kong and her boy found a nice white girl. Blonde hair, lots of style, too. Why do you always embarrass me in front of other mothers? I’m telling you, even Mrs Rodan looks down on me!”
Mothra was into threesomes.
No, you’re thinking of King Ghidorah.
That guy had three necks long enough to reach his junk.

Twins, dude, twins.
Those chicks were one of my first crushes when I was a kid. Not knowing that those films were done in the 60s and they were old enough to be my mother(s).
I’m guess no by my assumption of her expectations.

First off, did anyone not immediately know by the title that it was
nota Republican? Anyone? Bueller? Yeah me neither.Second, what does the above quote from the article have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with the actual story, other than to completely smear pro gun and anti abortion people? Hey guess what assholes… it’s only smearing if you think gay sex and weed should be illegal, so jokes on YOU!
GOOD EDIT FAIRIE STOPPED BY.
I mean that it WAS a republican… sorry. Can I get an edit here?
I hope not. Nothing wrong with typos
*sigh*
If the admins are going to edit posts (which I strongly oppose outside a few exceptions, like fixing links), at least redline the changes in and leave a note.
He asked. Otherwise, you are correct.
If somebody specifically mentions a typo or requests a fix, I know for myself I’ve always gone in and done so, but I do try to leave a note saying that I made the requested correction.
..well at least abortion isn’t going to be an issue if you’re shtooping a 17-year old male.
This is the kind of thinking the GOP needs more of.
No, I knew immediately by which state it took place in.
I didn’t need to see the state. As soon as I read ‘politician’, ‘prostitute’, ‘gay sex’, and ‘marijuana’ in the title, republican was 100% guaranteed.
Because if he were a Democrat it would be no big deal?
I can’t tell you why, but for some reason the flyover bible humpers are always the ones caught with their dick stuck somewhere it isn’t supposed to be.

McDonalds’ social media having a rough morning
They deleted the offending tweet 20 minutes later and swear up and down it was an outside hack and not a woke social media intern.
It’d be smarter to blame an intern and fire them, right?
I agree. The hacked Twitter account thing is getting pretty tired.
It’s a big company, not some athlete who might use some sort of poor password. There’s plenty of people who have access to the mcd’s twitter I imagine. if you can’t find the one who did it, clean house. It’s not complicated to run a social media. “oh, just post ads on here?”
Russians in 3….2….1….
McD should blame the hack on the Russians — totally believable.
Plus, its not a “hack” if somebody leaves their fucking password on a fucking sticky attached to their fucking monitor.
It’s hardly even social engineering.
Twitter has had two-factor authentication enabled (by default?) for quite some time now. “Our account got hacked” just doesn’t carry the same weight that it once did.
The Hill noted this in their original story and then deleted it without mentioning anything other than “the story has been updated”. Modern journalism!
So, yeah, maybe a woke social media intern doing it on purpose, or maybe somebody who forgot what Twitter account they were logged into. I highly doubt it was a hack.
Type type type aaaannnddd poOOOHH fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck what have I done!
So this Marine Corps nude photo scandal has me confused. Were photos of the women actually taken and posted without their permission, or did they simply post it somewhere then the Marine facebook group guys saved them and reuploaded them? I don’t know why, but that never seems to be flatly stated in the articles I’ve read. That makes me think the answer is obvious
Also, my experience with military women is that they are wild as hell in the sack. FWIW
I’m sure there area few that were not permitted. Although, I have a hard time with some of that. If she took the picture and sends it to a guy, can he post it? He shouldn’t without permission, but if it’s been put online with permission at one place…
Can he post it? You bet he can.
Should he? Depends. How hot is she, and how crazy?
Yeah, once she sends it or uploads it to a different website it seems like fair game. Morally, it’s a different story.
“Taken” and “Posted” are separate issues for me.
If photos were taken without consent, like say with a hidden camera, that’s criminal, and heads need to roll.
If photos were posted without permission, that’s a different story. It may or may not be a violation of UCMJ, but there’s a very obvious way to ensure that no nude nude photos of you ever make it on to the internet.
Killing your ex and destroying all his/her electronic devices?
Foolproof plan. Except for the cloud.
Killing your ex and destroying all his/her electronic devices?
Ah yes the Midas and Apollo gambit. Just like when I was a youth. So King Midas was called to judge a musical competition between Apollo and Pan. Midas preferred Pan’s music to Apollo and Apollo being the god of music was pissed and proclaimed that Midas had the ears of an ass, which of course because Apollo was a god was a curse and Midas’s ears became those of a donkey. He was so embarrassed by this that he took to wearing chunky hats inspired by the show Blossom. Only his barber was ever to know of his disfigurement. The barber was a loyal servant but keeping such a huge secret to himself wore down on him. Eventually he went to the river bank, dug a hole and whispered into it “King Midas has donkey ears. Unfortunately he did not whisper quietly enough and the reeds picked it up and whispered the scandalous news to one another. Eventually, Echo caught wind of it and by the end of the day Midas’ whole kingdom had heard the news.
Moral: two can keep a secret as long as one is dead and all his or her electronic devices have been destroyed (loosely translated from the original).
Thanks for the fable Jesse. The long ears and the Blossom hat remind me of another fable involving Llamas
I’m trying to figure out who introduced me to that.
Yeah, everything I’ve read alludes to it being the case of the women taking the photos themselves, sending it to boyfriends or posting them on private social media accounts, etc. and this facebook group getting their hands on them (and uhh, other things). Basically, people being stupid and other people being assholes.
Of course, the coverage leads you to believe the USMC is bugging women’s showers and livestreaming their pillow fights or whatever
Yeah, I was under the impression that they were being taped and photographed without their knowledge.
I believe there’s actually a few examples where that’s actually the case, but they’re not really in a ‘full state of undress’ or anything. The ones we’re hearing the most about were from the women’s social media.
I thought that Pillow Fights replaced Hand to Hand training for female recruits when Obama lowered the requirements to get more women in combat roles.
Are instagram accounts visible to the public? (like tweets, etc?) then yes.
basically, “its ok if the whole planet ogles our nude bodies, but if fellow marines do it OMG SEXUAL HARASSMENT”
They can be turned private, where you need to be approved by the account. Only your profile pic is shown.
There was a major scandal a couple years ago with the first women submariners (bad idea when space is that tight) where they were using hidden cameras and filming them (again…very bad idea on a sub….) – got a lot of folks in trouble, but was a bit narrower in focus.
I think in some cases here it was “available images”, some was “revenge porn” and some were illegal filming – but I’m not sure whether they’re making a real distinction at this point.
but was a bit narrower in focus.
So Swiss was involved? I didn’t think he was a Navy man.

I looked at that Volvo the other day. $100K!!!
Thanks, but no thanks. For $100K, I want a dinosaur-burner.
With 100k as a budget for a new car= GTR or get out. the numbers/$ is insane.
Maserati, I’m thinking.
That would be good. Audi RS4 comes in around there too.
I saw a douche in an RS7 yesterday. Answer me this – what possesses certain people to get custom plates with the model of their car on them?
Yeah, dude, I get it. You have an RS7. I know this because there is a LOGO RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR STUPID LICENSE PLATE! DOUCHE!
Pretty sweet car, though.
People do that when they suffer from advanced lookatmeism.
I never know. The 7’s are sweet looking. In Boulder, everyone drives like an entitled prick. Audi is up there, but in my experience here it’s mostly the benz crowd that really think they are royalty. It’s odd- the super expensive cars are not nearly as dickish as the 40-90k range ones.
I lived in Boulder in the 80s. I’m still not sure if they manufacture entitled pricks there or if the import them.
I find myself dubious of people who have vanity plates in general. Like the Lincoln I saw yesterday that had them… meanwhile a torn-off gas pump head is protruding from the side of their vehicle.
I didn’t actually see the driver but I’m assuming they were on their way to Country Kitchen Buffet.
It’s an import market.
We all want to pretend we live in the Need For Speed world.
Kind of like BMW 7 series owners, I just assume from prior experience that they are assholes. They don’t have to show me. But often they do.
Perhaps it’s because I’m living and working near/in a college town again, but the dipshits driving around with brand-new Mustangs that Mommy and Daddy bought them are the bane of my existence.
That’s a common one here. 19 year old lady in her parents G wagon, texting while merging with no blinker.
Guy down the street from me had S350 for his plate on his Benz S350. (I think that was the model) It made no sense to me either.
Dear God, I’ve wondered the same thing. See it all the time here.
“My car needs more branding, dammit!”
Nope.

Stupid internet:

V8 twin? noice. AMG is a strong line.
I ran into this channel the other day. they seem to be having a blast in that wagon.
True story:
I was picking up a car for Mrs. Dean at a Mercedes dealership. I was bullshitting with the salesmen, and one of them pulls out his phone and shows me a picture they took in an AMG E63. Austin had just finished building some new tollways, and on an early Sunday morning a couple of the salesmen took the car out on the tollways when they were deserted. The chip in the car had been “fixed” to remove the 155 mph limiter.
The picture was of the speedometer at just under 200 mph. What really impressed me was that you could see the driver had two fingers on the wheel.
“If you build it, we will buy it,” Chris Bast, Seattle’s climate and transportation policy adviser, said in an interview.
I’ll take “things you never say preceding a negotiation” for $200, Alex.
I think Caterpillar fell for that one when the Ruskies pulled it on them.
Go ahead GM, knock yourself out.
Next Trump is going to sign an executive order that registered democrats are forbidden to shoot themselves in the head.
I cant wait.
Stimulate massive gun sales and remove a significant political force. Brilliant!

From the “virgins” article:
“That is not to shame anyone who is enjoying crazy casual hookups, or whatever else you may be into. They are just as awesome, if you’re enjoying yourself. That’s the beauty of being a modern day, we get to choose.”
That’s the standard media playbook – this whole business of no sex outside marriage can be covered as an interesting lifestyle choice, just so long as it’s clear that having sex outside marriage is totally OK, and not only should be free from legal penalties, it should be free from disapproval.
Because we used to think that keeping sex within marriage was somehow normative, and that if it stopped being a norm there would be more social problems, but those fears turned out to be totally unwarranted, so it’s all cool.
I hope I don’t have to mention that a “norm” isn’t something to which 100% of people conform.
Serious question–do you think there should be penalties for extramarrital sex?
Well, as the father of a 15 year old daughter, I’m gonna say hell yes! 😉

Not the donkey show I was hoping for.
Ok, but this woman also has to be present.
I already have Cersei’s haircut, may as well go for broke.
and not only should be free from legal penalties
Wait, should there be? I assume no, but you’re the guy who holds a prostitute responsible for her client’s behaviour, so…
OK, I’ll continue the discussion we’ve had on this topic at TSTSNBN.
I’m against criminal penalties, but I’m still for the old “heart balm actions” – alienation of affection, criminal conversation.
I’m not sure what this means.
If (to use legal terminology) I boink another man’s wife, he’d be able to sue me for criminal conversation. If my boinking breaks up their marriage, he’d be able to sue me for that, too.
Likewise if I were a woman boinking someone’s husband, the wife would be able to sue me.
Nope, I don’t like it. It takes 2 to tango. Why take it out on the unattached party? What if your spouse lied about his or her marital status? If you should be allowed to sue anyone in that situation (which I don’t think you should) it should be the spouse not the third party.
Most states agree with you and have abolished “heart balm” suits.
As a practical matter, I can’t see the holdout states lasting very long, in the present political and social climate.
Why wouldn’t they just be able sue the husband or wife?
Interesting.
But you wouldn’t sue the adulterous spouse? I mean, assuming the boinking is consensual, aren’t they equally guilty?
That would be a good divorce suit.
Even before divorced people were allowed to remarry, “divorce from bed and board” was still allowed, so you can live apart from the cheater and be off the hook for supporting them. (Child support would be a different kettle of fish).
Not to get all “Patriarchy!!11!!” but imma guess these laws mostly stem from times when wives were property,and you don’t blame the property, just the the thief.
And it was most often husbands suing Lotharios and not wives suing Jezebels.
Yes, well, if my car suddenly decided it liked my neighbor’s oil better than mine and I watched it drive into his garage one night I would definitely be angrier at the car than the neighbor.
“imma guess these laws mostly stem from times when wives were property”
In the states which still have “heartbalm actions” the wronged wife can sue the mistress, or the wronged husband can sue the lover, same principles apply, so unlike certain countries these laws don’t give patriarchs a pass.
And Christianity tried to reform the pagan Roman system by which it isn’t really adultery if the husband does it. To the extent Christian influence prevailed, husbands could be deemed adulterers too.
And Christianity tried to reform the pagan Roman system by which it isn’t really adultery if the husband does it.
Uh, no. It’s true that they could have sex with slaves and prostitutes, but Romans considered male adultery at least grounds for divorce, and criminal activity in most cases. The Lex Julia has specific passages about this.
Maybe I had bad information about Roman law.
Roman husbands could sleep with slaves and prostitutes, but married women were a big no-no. I know in Augustus’ time the punishment was banishment (and he, of course, used it to target his political enemies), not sure on the earlier criminal aspects. There definitely was a concept of male adultery, it just had some ‘loopholes’ obviously.
OK, so not a total exemption, but definitely a double standard.
Unless wives were allowed to sleep with gigolos?
He’s for common law legislation against desertion and adultery?
Well, if a state chooses, in its positive law, to let you divorce your first spouse, they can’t sandbag anyone and say any new relationship was adulterous.
So if you got a divorce under state law, that state can’t turn around and let you get sued for who you boinked after the divorce.
If you have a contract sue for breach of contract. Outside that the state should have nothing to do with partnerships.
If you have a contract sue for breach of contract.
What do you think about business torts like Tortious Interference? I think these “heart balm” laws seem to be the personal equivalent.
I’d say marriage is a relationship voluntarily entered into – a relationship which has an objective existence, just as natural rights have an objective existence – just as natural rights actually exist prior to the state and the personal preferences of individuals, so with marriage – and just as the state must acknowledge natural rights, it ought to acknowledge marriage whenever a situation related to marriage comes within its cognizance.
In a limited government, then the occasions for the state to get involved in marital situations would be limited, but sometimes the issue obtrudes itself on the government’s attention like when a witness claims some matrimonial privilege against testifying.
But that would apply only if one of the extramarital-sex-having parties was married to someone else.
Penalties for “mere” fornication? No, not so much.
I’ll disapprove if I want to.
Florida Governor / Super Villain Rick Scott has reassigned a case involving the murder of a police officer because the prosecutor wouldn’t seek the death penalty
Jesus Christ I hate that man. I hate Pam Bondi more.
How does that make him a supervillain?
This doesn’t. He’s been one for a while.
Plus just look at him. He looks like a super villain.
They don’t call him skeletor for nothing. I think he’s an okay guy though…. well, as okay as a republican can get.
National Fraternal Order of Police: this is why we need a federal hate crimes statute for police!
*shoots self*
You’re aiming at the wrong person.
[DEAR PREET: I KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT A US ATTORNEY ANYMORE, BUT IT’S NOT LIKE THE LAW HAS EVER STOPPED YOU BEFORE, SO JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, THIS IS A JOKE]
I’d shoot Chuck Canterbury, but then he’d get everything he wants and I’d be dead anyways.
*Appoints JB as a police officer ex post facto, arrest’s JB’s corpse for cop murder.*

Woman kidnapped but escapes. The WaPo gives a vague description of what the kidnapper did, how the woman escaped and what the gas station owner did and a not-so-clear picture of the suspect. Yet for some reason that we cant even begin to guess they give no description of the suspect.
Huh.
Um… I can guess. I bet you can too. You first though. Because…. reasons.
The WaPo is afraid it will turn out to be an illegal alien that committed the crime and the chances of that are pretty good. They will have to cover their ass for all the crowing about how illegal aliens are all wing-bearing angels just here for a taste of the good life and Trump is Hitler for denying them a chance to make America great. Worse still, if it turns out not to be a hispanic and a refugee Obama brought here….yeah….
You can bet your ass that is what it is. The gas station guy is MEastern and spoke with the suspect, probably told the cops what language the guy was accented with, the guy who couldn’t figure out how to use an ATM.
I perused the comments so it took me a while to get back around to this one.

ooooohhhhhh TREASON!
I think the word you are looking for is SEDITION.
Nothing to see here, move along. move along.
Couldn’t he have done that just as easily over the phone? (with fewer prying eyes, as well).
*sigh* Just because the Dems have all turned into whacko conspiracy nuts, doesn’t mean you have to join them, red guys.
It’s not nearly as red flaggy as that plane conversation about ‘kids’.
He could have, but then no one would have known about the black knight of justice and his heroic struggle, and we can’t have that!
Hightower stays with the pats. I think they’ll try to keep Butler, but they won’t match what a few teams will offer.
Police Academy is still playing?
NFL has some rules about drug use.
And I read something about Cleveland teeing to bring in Garoppolo for draft picks. I’m loving the Patriots offseason.
Trying* WTF “teeing”?
If that happened I wouldn’t be sad. Jacoby makes for a fine backup. I can see him doing well post Brady.
I don’t know if that’ll happen though, the browns might have a better time in the draft. I also think Kessler and McCown are fine for the team.
Browns also traded for Osweiler correct? Either way, I would gladly recover some draft picks for Jimmy. One thing we all know for sure is that Cleveland will continue to be Cleveland no matter who is under center.
They did, but look like they wanted the picks more than the cash they owe him. They were not trying to actually play him from what I’ve read. They might be looking to trade him off, as well.
It couldn’t hurt, and we can overcharge for Jimmy IMO.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
McDonnell did nothing wrong. Silver OTOH was corrupt as fuck and the incidents he was convicted on were merely a handful of examples.
Apparently, Silver’s argument is that the jury instructions were overbroad, so the jury might theoretically have convicted him for the wrong reasons, even though it seems like there was enough evidence for a properly-instructed jury to convict.
I guess we’re going to do a sexy-link day to get everyone ready for Thicc Thursday.
Ya’ll be a bunch a preverts.
And just a tip to all you nonconsensualists out there — modern trunks have escape levers on the inside.
“What is black and blue and hates sex? The kid in my trunk”
I got in trouble for googling pedophile jokes at work a few years ago when another guy and I were trying to one up each other. (I was out of my league)
I didn’t know you and OMWC worked together.
Anal sex is like brussels sprouts… if you’re forced to endure it as a child you’ll never enjoy it as an adult.
ome people are just superior (bad) joke tellers.
You good for a sunday mid-afternoon? I know DenverJ has that day off, and was thinking that would be an easier time.
forgot the S. Some people.
Ya, I can do that. Which Sunday? I actually have an errand to run in the big city.
last one of the month, 26th?
No problem. Did you guys settle on a location?
Wynkoop!
Ok, I will find it. I can make it over by mid-afternoon if the snow stays away.
I love telling pedophile jokes and none of my friends who have children ever bring their kids over.
Everything is proceeding as I had foreseen.
two terrible jokes in one!
There was an article about black humor on my MSN feed today. I think this qualifies.
https://www.psychologistworld.com/cognitive/black-humor-linked-to-high-intelligence-study.php
“—Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have found that the enjoyment of so-called ‘gallows humor’ is linked to high levels
of both verbal and nonverbal intelligence.—“
Hmm. The site ate my link

“Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have found that the enjoyment of so-called ‘gallows humor’ is linked
to high levels of both verbal and nonverbal intelligence.”
Darnit, the site keeps eating my comments: It only has one link, so I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong
There was a story through Reader’s Digest (and other sources) that indicated that an appreciation for dark humor
was correlated with high intelligence (both verbal and non-verbal), and had lower levels of aggression.
Under normal circumstances, I could say something about the commentariat here, but….
Since I’m apparently not smarter than the internet today, google ‘dark humor and intelligence’ for links.
*sigh*
Don’t tell me what to do, slaver!

According to Durex, the average age that women have intercourse in Australia is eighteen while 17.4-years-old for the guys.
Ha. And IFH thinks Australia is the rebel colony of the Commonwealth.
“the average age that women have intercourse in Australia is eighteen”
So the average age of women in Australia who are having intercourse is 18? Remembering how averages work, that’s got to mean a lot of women under 18 have to be having sex to even out all those over 18. Perhaps lots of 15-year-olds are all over it, and not too many gals over 25 are fucking there. What a strange country.
It’s loss of virginity, not sex as a whole.
Australia is a low population country spread out over a very large territory. They probably have to be old enough to drive 4 hours braving God knows how many deadly animal encounters for a date. There’s no way you’re letting a kid with a learner’s permit attempt a journey like that.
89% of Australians live in urban centers, according to the World Bank.
Exactly. Australia is exactly how the coastal liberal elites imagine America: everyone lives on the coasts and there is absolutely nothing in the middle.
“J” is for JAWBOX:

Jawbox was a terrific band
heck yes.
In the early 90’s I was lucky enough to see them live a bunch of times. There was a period of 18 months– between graduating high school and going away to college–where I think JAWBOX and FUGAZI would drive up from DC almost every other weekend to play The Chameleon Club in Lancaster. Sold out shows= tour money. Anyway, it was great. Unpopular opinion: Jawbox were way more fun to see live then FUGAZI.
Is Swiss still lurking around? I read his article. Good stuff. I heard some stories of Basra in 2008 from the security dudes when I was there in 2011. Dude, that was not a good place to be in those times from what I heard.
No, no it was not a good place. When we finished up there, I got sent to … Baghdad.
For all the hockey people
But are those senators doing it panda style?
My bracket is now 8-0. I’ll probably be in last place by Monday, so I’m going to brag while I can.
I was listening to the radio on the way home from . . . uh. . . work today, and there was a story about a woman who was freaked out by a dude (not transgender) just walking into the women’s bathroom and just chilling there. All the women were uncomfortable, but nobody said anything.
It got me thinking about truth. There are a handful of situations where truth is relative, and they usually have to do with perception (85*F is hot to some, and not to others). However, many of the relative truth moments in modern culture are not actually relative truths. They’re either unknowable or politically incorrect to point out. Transgenderism is the latter. Either transgender folks are delusional, or they’re oppressed. There’s no relativity. Reality requires one or the other (when you expand the simplistic statements into worldviews).
Wait, you cant’ oppress delusional people? This is gonna fuck up a few of my business plans.
Venezuela is facing a shortage of bread and flour but Maduro is blaming the bakers anyway.
Derp.
The reality is that I have commandeered the reserve of Venezuela’s flour and have been rolling corpulent chicas in it in a noble attempt to find the elusive, “wet spot.”
