  1. Are you not aware of MIA's OnlyFans page business model? You pay him $9.95 a month, and he WON'T send you nekkid pics of him.
  2. You've still got your 10 inches on her. Which means you can still put your 4 inches in her, I think.
  3. They had that before. They were, indeed, much happier.
  4. Lots of people are saying he's a Democrat appointed by Weakling Walz who hated other Democrats. I don't know, I haven't really looked into it. But we hear he's being treated very unfairly, at levels of unfairness never seen before, and we're going to be looking into it very strongly.
  5. This. There is no such thing as a statewide office any longer. Just offices in service to Trump and Fox News. You could be the Senior Senator from Texas, and vote to nuke Texas at he behest of Trump on the basis that it would "own the libs," and you'd win the vote of the surviving Texans by a 10 point margin.
  6. Short answer: you don't. The reality is that it is always the case that incredible things that take decades, even centuries to build, can be destroyed in minutes. Building takes effort. Destroying just takes one well-placed explosive charge. We are going to lose public lands that took better than a century to accumulate. Getting them back/replaced will take another century. The damage being done by this Regime will not be repaired even by our great grandchildren's lifetime.
  7. Tale as old as time, man.
  8. "She's still more attractive than Roseanne Barr." Damning with faint praise indeed.
  9. To give you a feel for Meloni, When even SHE is rolling her eyes at what a pseudo-fascist clownshow you are.....yeah, that's embarrassing.
  10. Well, yeah. It's hard to forward calls to Cancun, what with all the international charges and whatnot. Oh, and the story here ain't just the selling of the land. It's the buying, and who the buyers will be. They'll get them for ass-cheap prices, and every buyer will be someone who previously outright purchased favor/status with the Regime. It's the autocracy/oligarchy playbook. All assets of the people will be transferred to the allies of the Regime.
  11. It's not all women - it's age 18-29. And while that number still seems high, it doesn't seem that off-base either.
  12. Yeah, that ain't why the feds are getting in on it..... ....this is the important take. State charges have to drive the bus, because Trump will 100% find some insane reason to tell DOJ to drop the charges (and the DOJ is the president's personal law firm now), or pardon him, or both.
  13. You'd have been a giant among wee, ill-tempered men.
  14. Especially if you're an outlier. My son is tall, but in the US, there are plenty of other tall guys. In Scotland? His friends use him as a point of reference in bars, because he's generally 4 inches or more taller than everyone else. And he says yes, that fact alone has girls there going up and approaching him. At which point he sighs, and says "it's a shame most of the girls in Scotland are short, round, and orange [WAY too much face makeup is a thing]." But as someone of just a bit above average height, and decent but nothing special in the looks department, it's amazing how far "confident and funny and ambitious" will take you. But I guess advice of "don't be a loser" is a bit too much of a tautology for a lotta guys.
  15. Sounds like you should be taller.
  16. Yeah. Kinda like how MIA is getting chemo which is utterly brutal on his body.....to save his life. Sometimes, you have two bad choices. You do your best to pick the least bad one. That doesn't mean that the choice you made is "good" -- there are no good options. Keep gyms -- which are definitely an easy place to transmit a deadly, novel virus -- open, so people can work out and help their physical health, but at heightened risk for a deadly illness? Or close gyms to avoid an obvious transmission hotbed -- which will necessarily mean some people end up more sedentary and less healthy overall for the time being? Those are the choices. Maybe we got it right, maybe we got it wrong. Collectively, we made the best decisions we could at the time, dealing with an entirely novel situation.
  17. MAGA lies. It's all they do. Not because that's what they do, but because it is what they are. It is the foundation of their identity.
  18. Bingo. This dovetails a bit into the crisis of "individualism" vs. community (as either-or, oppositional forces). We need groups and community to fully succeed. So, get out there and be in and of them. NOT online communities (I mean, look at THIS shithole), but real-world community. It makes you more connectional, which helps you....connect.
  19. I'm a good tipper, but my wife will even give me the side-eye if I only tip 25%. She's pretty fucking free with my money. I also gave the boy the speech about "not today, I know you're a poor student with no money, but once you start working, and you go to a bar to actually sit at the bar with a date, friends, whatever....tip nicely right at the start of the night. Talk to the bartender, tell him/her 'I appreciate you taking good care of me tonight,' and slip them a 20 at the beginning of the night." Doesn't have to be visible to anyone else, it's about having a rapport with the bartender, and being treated well and engaging with them. The visibility is "huh, the bartender seems to think this guy is a great dude, I guess I should too." If you go someplace frequently, and can do it with a regular bartender, even better. At present, he's still bitching about spending 3 pounds on a pint of shitty Tennents, but he'll get there.
  20. Both of these. Blame the GQP for the violence they foment. Non-stop. They are a party of violent murderers. Call them that. Wait, what's that you say? That's as unfair as demonizing all 65 million hispanics in the US as criminals (this admin has done just that)? ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT. RUN THE PLAY AGAINST THEM.
  21. Correct. Political assassinations by the side that is building and cheering on a modern Gestapo is not a failure of the system. It is the system working exactly as they have designed it.
  22. "this one time, at band camp...."
  23. The boy had experiences with each of the two archetypes at university. One was one of his suitemates (they put 6 random people together in a shared suite, half male and half female). One of the guys, Nial, ended up being an Andrew Tate disciple. When they'd all go out, he'd hit on women way too aggressively and with little smoothness, and then get pissed that they wouldn't fall for his obvious charms (instead of thinking "huh...something I'm doing isn't working, maybe I should adjust my approach"). In short, the problem was everyone else, never him. Finally, he started being abusive and demeaning to two of the women in the flat. My son stepped in, that really pissed him off, and he went off on him. He moved out, they don't speak any more, but when they see him around, he still isn't ever with a date, and still seems to be an angry dude. The other was a roommate he interviewed and then let move into his next flat. He was an intern with Barclays, doing technical work for them (the UK has a sort of hybrid higher ed-intern thing people can do, instead of university). The job was 95% remote. So, he just stayed in his room. All the fucking time. Terrible hygiene, the room smelled. He'd leave food out in the kitchen, have food rot in the fridge, never take out the trash. The boy tried to include him in some group activities, including girls. Fella was just so painfully awkward. He even admitted at one point, when my son laid down some rules on how to live like a civilized human, "yeah, I guess my dad should have taught me some of this stuff." Eventually, he flamed out and moved back home. Those are the two closest examples, but I'm sure the boy could share a shitload more. He hangs out with a lot more 20 year old dudes than I do.
  24. This is definitely a key to relationship success, and something my wife and I realized we liked about each other early on. Even in college, we could go to a party, and end up going our separate ways, talking to different groups of people etc., then come back together at the end. Neither of us got hurt feelings because our date wasn't glued to our hip all night. She's always wanted me to indulge in going hunting, fishing, tailgating, etc. with my friends -- "go, have fun." Shit, sometimes, it's been "you need to call Pescado Rojo and put together a fishing trip." And likewise, she does girl's weekends, goes out to regular dinners with girlfriends, etc. It's healthy for both of us. All of that comes from mutual confidence, I think. Hell, maybe part of the bigger social issue is a crisis of confidence. Trying to build yourself up on social media is an exercise in faking it. Being confident and successful in the real world is much more intimidating, but the thing is....it's just not that hard.
  25. Within the past 5 years. The boy and I and one of our buddies had a great fucking afternoon hunting on a friend's place near Thrall. All three of us, hopping fences and chasing down squirrels in the pecan trees. It was a fucking blast, we were all laughing our asses off. And yeah, it doesn't have to be hunting and fishing, but it helps. Both of my kids appreciate growing up with that broad perspective of activities. It makes them cooler, gives them the ability to interact with a diverse group of people, etc. It's a life skill, being able to bullshit with a bunch of blue collar dudes telling lies around the campfire, or being able to talk fishing with a diverse group of people on the boat, etc. There are other things that match up with this, doesn't have to be those -- work on a car in the driveway, build computers, play a sport, all kinds of shit that's real-world. It's a trope to say that social media is poison, but it's a trope for a reason.
