Some people erronously believe the booty is the end all and be all of thicc. As leeloandstitch shows us, this is not true. Thicc is a complete female somatotype that involves a specific distribution of gynoid adipose tissue and muscle leading to a certain bust to waist to hip ratio that signals fecundity, leading to activation of the amygdala via the limbic system, which in turn triggers penile erection.
The selfie in her black outfit made me think of Dee’s Martina Martinez on IASIP.
is that bad?
Instagram?
I like her body, but her face looks like a porcelain mask.
Related.
That’s a good tip.
I like her face, and while i’m the new John, she’s a bit thicc
/I’d tap that all day
Lifeless eyes, like a doll’s eyes…
That’s cool, she won’t say a word and fuck it all up being stupid
/I Love my Wife
Until she bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.
…is completely wrong.
If this is your way of coming out, then congratulations!
No, you just have bad taste.
I’m looking for the correct phrasing, but I’m tired and irritable, so I’m sorry about the way I phrased that disagreement.
No, worries. I took it as just busting balls.
Is this your way of coming out?
Yes.
Incorrect. Empirical research has proven my taste is objectively superior.
You are neurologically deficient.
I approve of your Message
It’s incorrect, but you’re still entitled to your opinion.
2 to 1 UCS, I side with HM this time

Sounds like a consensus. The science is settled!
That’s how it works, right?
UCS likes Sarah, plain and tall.
Glenn Close was attractive back then
Blech, spindly with a Dalmation nose, no thanks
Theoretically.
Are you a Prog? theory is SCIENCE, Glenn Close is Subjective, therefore,

I like thicc. I do not like this.
With the jeans is the best pic. Eyebrows too much though.

Superb.
The Trump admin may be a clownshow, but Ajit Pai is a goddamn hero. I don’t know how he managed to staff so many agencies with just the right people for the job.
I think his main skill is in Human Resource management. Trump doesn’t know much about much of anything, but knows how to pick the right people for the right job or at least recognise when the person picked is not working out and replace them.
It makes me real nervous what we can expect in three years. The left is shifting ever more socialist, and the last gasps of sanity are being gasped by… Trump. Who may toxify conservatism for generations. So a couple years of mediocre to okay policy that barely holds the line against the tide of terrible ideas may give way to a couple decades of European-style politics. I’m not enthused about the future.
That’s fucking frightening
Or we get a political death spiral, with whatever ideology ends up parading around in the Republican skinsuit shutting out genuine conservatives and championing white racialists, and trading power with the commie left doing the same for ethnics. The Bannon consequence, I call it.
There is still a large mass of ‘normies’ who are starting to have a “what the fuck?” reaction to the leftwards race. I don’t think the mad dash is selling all that well, or will sell better the more frothing insanity spills from the media talking heads.
I don’t think the republic lasts too long if conservatism becomes verboten in political circles. Trump, in essence, is the canary in the coal mine for a lot of flyover country. If “the swamp” ends up killing the canary, a lot of people are bailing out.
What does “bailing out” mean? Anything from detaching from politics to shooting people, depending on the specific situation.
Man, I think modern Europe and Australia are what we can expect: a future in which the “conservative” semi-permanent opposition party is effectively the less-totally-authoritarian socialist party. I’m starting to worry that Fukuyama may have been right about liberal democracy: it’s all downhill from her. Humanity simply isn’t capable of developing stable communities into the nation-state model. Eventually it’s all special interest groups working, not just at the expense of, but in opposition to, its own fellow citizens’ needs. I worry that Marxism isn’t just an aberration, but possibly a natural outgrowth of human thought on how to construct social arrangements.

The big difference here is the 2nd Amdmt. I don’t think that a subservient conservative opposition party would fly in a country where the real power (might makes right) is spread out across the entire country.
I think we can be ground down into obedience, over generations.
Burke talked about the gradual development of society like it’s a piece of precious stone that needs milling, rubbing off the burrs only gradually, to preserve the good parts at the expense of the bad.
I wonder whether he got it wrong: eventually we’ll be ground down into dust, all of us, in service to the Marxist urge to exfoliate the past to vouchsafe the new, whatever it is. And in that pattern, that evolving, cancerous pattern, we’re led into ruin, into another feudal existence, simply because we are incapable of maintaining social order in the metastatic social nightmare that the Marxists lead us.
I worry that Marxism isn’t just an aberration, but possibly a natural outgrowth of human thought on how to construct social arrangements.
Marxism is an aberration, but totalitarianism is not. Look to history, and Marxist states, which strive for equality and creating a new man, have not lasted long, while totalitarian states represent the most common and long lasting forms of government in the history of man. In implementation it may be a subtle difference (what does it matter if the boot stomping on your face is red or blue? what does it matter that you can still own property and business if it can be raided at whim?), but the heart of the matter is a drastic difference: people don’t want to be equal, they want to control or be controlled.
Who may toxify conservatism for generations.
While there may be a backlash against Trump (although it will be interesting to see how his unpopularity collides with a dramatically improving economy), I would not take the bet that he is capable of making conservatism toxic for a generation. For an election cycle or two, maybe, but if Bush II (war on terror), Bush I (read my lips), Nixon (Watergate), and Goldwater (the first Nazi Republican) were not able to sink it, Trump won’t be able to either. The thing is, Republicans may have a terrible time governing, but Democrats do too. If they ride a progressive wave back into power, there will be strong pressure to do something big for the progressive cause, and with the exception of FDR that usually doesn’t go over well. Although it must be conceded, lasting damage is always done, so I guess a gloomy prognosis is not out of the question.
Most managers don’t. It’s high time the American public stop hero-worshipping the office and expecting them to be sooper geniuses.
Because no one gave a shit before, Careful, Trump will get ya!
“The Trump admin may be a clownshow”
To be sure.

Is this disclaimer new, or did I miss it before:
I believe it was there from day 1.
I guess I just missed it.
I missed it because it hides under monocle.
The footer was different up until a few weeks back. It used to have links and stuff, and the copyright disclaimer was in the “Disclaimer/Legal Stuff” link.
ah. I wasn’t looking till UCS quoted it.
Thanks again for monocle.
The only reason I know what the footer looked like is because monocle used to interact with the footer before I figured out how to properly refresh the comments.
I’m glad that monocle is working well for you… the dev team did some good work.
My next experiment when I have a few free days is to try to build a new version that uses SP’s top and bottom buttons as a template. That and try to clean up some of the bugs.
I had Stylished out the footer because it was too big and didn’t play well with monocle. My Glibs tweaks are very minor compared to TOS where my Stylish file was like a mile long.
I had to install fascr for ToS, but here the only thing I’ve done is disable image animation. The site is much more usable in its vanilla state.
Ditto
How is that enforceable? Each author? If I write a song it’s Mine, unless I give others credit, Splain?
It means works submitted to Glibs do not involve implied transfer of rights to glibs.
ie, if I gave them a story to serialize, I would still be fully within my rights to put it in one of the volumes I sold for profit. Thus the implied agreement is that the submission is a license for Glibs to publish the content on their platform and not a transfer of ownership.
oh
In an interesting twist, copyright is granted immediately upon creation of an item. Even if you never file for it.
as long as you have a verifiable date stamp,
/Old Cassette style copyright holder
Not required – but may be needed to prove your case in court.
Nowadays, posting a song to YT is fine for CW, date stamps again, been there, done that. Back when, it cost 35$ to file, and you had to send a hard copy to the office of copyright now it’s obvious

Bought a bottle of McClelland’s Islay single malt. I expected it’s cheap piss because it was indeed cheap. I haven’t got a very refined palette–I’ve had pricey glasses of Islay whiskies, and I do love a very smokey, peaty whiskey–but I can’t break down the nose or flavor profile in anything other than the most superficial terms. So I’ll say this: it’s not total piss. Kinda bland, though. A little sweet. The peatiness isn’t what I normally like. I love genuinely earthy scotch. This is passable and clean, the hints are all there, but they don’t lead to any big revelation. It’s rather like your lover leaving you a trail of rose petals, only to find her at the end of it in sweatpants watching Netflix. There’s nothing wrong with Netflix and chill, and for 28 bucks, it’s not like I should expect any better. But dang, it’s a bit of a disappointment.
My booze budget went into my tire replacement. 🙁

Thankfully, I have had no cause to drive on Long Island. I think I ran over a curb and tore the sidewall, there was a bit of discussion about it (and tires in general) back during the weekend.
I have the view of NYC like others see LA, I want nothing to do with it,
This is in fact a very tasty, adequate sipping scotch. If I could afford Laphroaig, I’d buy that. But this is decent.

Anyone work with Jax pewter black before? I’m trying to find a surface conditioner to help primer not slough off of white metal. Preferably one that will not damage plastic or epoxy (the model Is a kitbash of white metal, plastic and ‘green stuff’)
Try some fine sandpaper for the white metal, like 400-800 grit and soften the white metal up, creates more surface area for the primer to cling to
There’s one problem with that plan.
This is the same base body as the one I’m working on. physical abrasion without damaging detail would be difficult, which is why I was looking for a chemical solution (no pun intended)
Paint, etc., Won’t adhere to a smooth surface, thus the usual practice of sanding.
The alternative is acid etching.
What material are the figures made from?
the model Is a kitbash of white metal, plastic and ‘green stuff’ (Epoxy putty)
Hmm. Ok, everything is pretty soft. You don’t want to use, say, muriatic acid. I’m under the understanding that these are small models?
I would pick one, or use a test piece of the same material, and try vinegar. Vinegar will etch soft metals quite well, and still be safe for plastics (within reason)
If that’s not aggressive enough (paint doesn’t stick because surface is still too smooth), try using a small paint brush or qtip to apply very diluted muriatic acid
Where is this girl from and what language is she speaking?
?
The internet – and I have no clue what language that is.
She’s a mixed Creole representing the French Quarter.
Okay, French quarter… what are the other three quarters?
Boobs.
but thats only two quarters
German and mixed. They aren’t really quarters. Over the centuries they have all fluctuated wildly in size and population. Now they are all mixed, but after Katrina I think the city is getting paler. I haven’t been there since and have no desire to return.
Vincent Ludwig (offering cigars): Cuban?
Frank Drebin: no, Dutch-Irish. My father was from Wales.
OK it makes total sense now that I’m reading it in the voice of Miss Cleo.
And Rhywun knocks it out of the park
I was sad to read on wikipedia just now that she dids last year 🙁 – cancer
Ugh – edit fail. You know what I meant.
Yeah, I saw that. A shame.
I was thinking the voice of Shirley Q Liquor, but Miss Cleo will suffice.
Ah. That is completely unsurprising to me.
Y’all realize I was joking. Right?
I cant believe no one made an Airplane joke. Pitch it right over the plate…I dont know why I bother.
I thought about a “I speak jive” reply…but I got lost in the rabbit hole of actually figuring out where she was from.

Well, it’s true that they may throttle speeds on porn sites.
“With net neutrality repeal, internet service providers, or ISPs, are free to block or throttle any content they don’t like. ”
Which direction does the rain fall in upsy-downsy land? The purpose of NN was for the government to usurp that power from the companies so that they could control the content on the iterate. Ungoodthink was going to be hardest hit. The left is desperate to control the narrative and who can say what. That is all NN is about.
Has anyone else come across the “theory” – more like “old wives’ tale” – that the Gay is more common among the youngest siblings in a family? I remember hearing this a few decades ago and anecdotal follow-ups were inconclusive but leaning in that direction.
Why the Youngest? Mom tired of Breastfeeding? seriously
The hypothesis is that there is a hormonal impact each time a boy gestates, and that causes a different in utero environment for each successive son.
Calling BS on that one
I think the idea was something along the lines of superfluous kids (more than say 3) aren’t needed to propagate the species.
All I know is asked a bunch of my friends and most of us were the youngest of 3 or more siblings.
My Gay Friend (TM) is number 4 of 4 kids.
I think Uncivil had it right: each succeeding child has less male hormones, or some such
I was the second born in a family with six children, only one girl, who was the middle.
My youngest brother, a wonderful man with a wonderful family, is indeed the baby of the family, and perhaps less masculine (although still quite hetero).
I think the amount of births before has an effect, but there are many factors involved.
I have to guess that some hormones control the urge to procreate and some don’t.
I may be gay but I’m all man, baby.
You must be a Man, you don’t sound Gay
/doesn’t know what Gay sounds like
For you
I think the idea was something along the lines of superfluous kids (more than say 3) aren’t needed to propagate the species.
Until the plague hits, then you need those extra munchkins. There’s a reason why ancient monarchs always wanted “an heir and a spare”, even though the proliferation of male royals could be detrimental to the monarch’s health. I’d imagine if there’s anything to the birth order, limiting the propagation of the species doesn’t play a part.
I know of one guy who had both of his brothers (one younger, one older) come out. Other then that, the only birth order effects I remember reading about was that the oldest usually scored higher on IQ tests, but younger siblings were usually better in social situations (and that a 3 year gap rest both effects/hopes).
LOL I am the exception there. (Youngest of 4 males with 6 year gap to the next youngest)
So you got the high IQ score reset. Of course, based on a quick Google search the difference all of this is based on the IQ side is a whopping 2.3 points. Which is well within the margin of error for any IQ test I ever took.
I knew a set of 3 brothers in – a previous town. One more than the rest…
…the youngest one?
I have only anecdotal “evidence” but my mom is one of eleven children, including 8 brothers. One brother was gay (with attendant ‘get out of my house’ from old school German Baptist dad in the 50’s. No one in the family has heard from him since he was thrown out). However that uncle was third boy (fifth counting girls). The youngest, baby of the family is – I presume – het, married to the same woman for twenty something years, and father of two.
In Lena Dunham’s it was true.

God that show sucks.
It’s trash, but it was fun trash, at least before the last two seasons. The final season was just pure shit.
More attempted torpedoing of Tillerson by the media. Unnamed sources. Difficult to continue. Irreversible.
Jesus H. Christ. Give it up. Tillerson still hasn’t quit or been fired despite these repeated efforts.
He never had a chance with the media because Big Oil. The worst part for them is that he’s done a decent job.
At least the best since Her Highness.
The real reason these rumors keep swirling is very simple: he wants to cut the Department of State’s budget by 30% and the number of employees by 8%.
If he had come in and called for everyone to get a raise, you would see tons of leaked stories about how he’s a “shockingly competent man, for an outsider” and is “earning the respect of tenured diplomatic professionals with his fresh approach and outside the box thinking”
It’s always about the money.
Something about a 750 million dollar embassy maybe?
Slavers
Why would he quit over something that WaPo says that has probably zero relationship to reality? For that matter, why does anyone listen to anything WaPo has to say? If Pinocchio owned that place the price of timber would be tanking like the Titanic.
Look, Gustave, Trump is literally Hitler. Lit er al ly
You don’t want to stop him because you are part of the White patriarchy. Tillerson is just trying to escape the guilt of being born a White Man. And you are trying to stop him from becoming woke to the plight of POC, the LGTBQWERTY community, v and other persons of intersectionality.

Third, they released that fucking horrible (and super creepy) Cousin Dupree song in the early 00’s:
I don’t know, that it’s right before my music awareness horizon. But didn’t they do that don’t about the windshield wipers beating out the tempo to the song on the radio? I think I liked that one

Ah yeah. Another good tune. I got them mixed up.
