Q: I hate the sounds my boyfriend makes during sex. Sorry to be blunt, but that really is the problem. (Both in our late 20s/early 30s, been dating for four months or so.) He just kind of whimpers as things start to get hot, particularly if I kiss him on the neck or elsewhere on his body, and he legitimately sounds like a small animal in pain. The strange thing is, he seems to realize these noises are unusual and off-putting—he constantly apologizes for making them, even midsex, but says he can’t help it; that’s just how he sounds when he feels good. I’m really turned on by him otherwise, but I can’t go on forever hearing the cries of injured wildlife when we’re getting it on. Is it possible to manually adjust the sounds one makes during sex? Should I ask him to?
—Injured
A: STEVE SMITH NO SEE PROBLEM? HIM HEAR THAT KIND SOUND ALL TIME! SOMETIMES IT MORE LIKE “OH GOD, IT’S BIGFOOT!!!” OR “AAAAH! RUN!” BUT IT ALL SAME. STEVE SMITH THINK YOU NEED PUT ON NOISE CANCEL EAR COVER THINGS…HEADPHONE! OR, YOU INVITE STEVE SMITH OVER. DUMP BOYFRIEND AND HEAR STEVE SMITH MAKE DIFFERENT SOUND! YOU MAKE DIFFERENT SOUND TOO.

What about the unfunny Glibertarians?
I wouldn’t know. I’m not unfunny.
I’m very unfunny.
hahahahahahaha!
Don’t sell yourself, Ted.
He’ll have difficulty finding buyer’s.
Its funny that youd say that.
I don’t think STEVE SMITH means funny ha ha.
So funny uh oh?
You’re in his eye and you’ll know why
The more you live, the faster you will die
STEVE SMITH NOT MEAN FUNNY ‘HA-HA’ STEVE SMITH MEAN FUNNY ‘ARRGHGH!!!!!’

Sorry….the sweltering conditions here have me crazy from the heat
Whew! That’s what I expected but I feared you would dip into your deep, rap catalog.
For those of you in in the grasps of the heat wave.
Some rap for Chafed
But this one has been blessed by the new faith of warmism.
The homeowner, who was still on the roof when officers arrived, continued to hold the burglar at gunpoint for at least an hour until police could coax her down.
Once the woman with the rifle came down and it was safe for medics to come into the area, the suspect was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.
??????
Was she threatening to shoot the EMTs?
I read that as the police were threatening to shoot her.
She appeared to be unwilling to stop aiming at the wounded burglar…boys in blue exhortations aside.
Cops were probably too cowardly to just go and put the burglar in handcuffs while she was holding a gun.
^this.
Is it possible to manually adjust the sounds one makes during sex? Should I ask him to?
Get on top, and smother him with a pillow. Best sex ever.
Michael Hutchence approves?

/Ghost of Bob Crane
Wait, wasn’t Bob Crane beaten to death?
…as part of some kink thing, IIRC. I reckon he may have made a few animal sounds.
Beaten…With a camera stand or such, yes?
According to Wiki, yes
On the afternoon of June 29, Crane’s co-star Victoria Ann Berry entered his apartment after he failed to show up for a lunch meeting and discovered his body.[20] Crane had been bludgeoned to death with a weapon that was never identified, though investigators believed it to be a camera tripod. An electrical cord had been tied around his neck.[21]

Dammit. Beat me to that one!
Between STEVE SMITH and ZARDOZ the sex l advice is all very confusing.
Each columnist gives his, hers, xir, tzir opinion. Not necessarily that of the editorial board of the Glibs.
I ain’t gonna argue with them. Last time we had a…dispute, I was a wreck for a month.
Dispute – euphemism?
*widens gaze*
Government is just another word for the things we do together. You know, things like threatening to put your kids in foster care if you’re deliquent on paying their school lunch bill.
The Wyoming Valley West School District says it will send out a second, softer letter to parents who are delinquent in paying their children’s lunch bills.
Back to just starving your kid instead.
Maybe they should pretend to be illegal immigrants.
On either coast that would work.
This is wayyyy to local.
Too not to
Why are there lunch bills to begin with? If you didn’t buy a lunch ticket or pay cash, you didn’t eat. Why is that so hard?
Something, something, anti-bullying, something, subsidized lunches, something, poor people are too stupid to solve their own problems.
Whycome no Africans?
I won’t even bother with quotes. Whiny article about no actual Africans were involved in making Beyonce’s Lion King soundtrack.
Not ostentatiously political enough. How dare she?
Did they confirm if she identified as African? Problem solved.
OH snap! She’s done it now, coming for the Queen Bey.
The Beyhive will remove your soul from your body for speaking a single syllable against her.
I’ll risk it. In every video I have seen of hers, when she dances, it looks like calisthenics.
it’s different when they do it.
Back in the old days of paper newspapers, there used to be a column where people could write in an complain about things. Now the whole news media is made up of that column.
Andy Rooney is spinning in his grave.
Yep! I enjoyed reading those a lot, particularly the “bee in my bonnet letter,” which a lot of times lead me to say “get a grip.”
the perpetually aggrieved were super aggrieved when the Black Panther soundtrack dropped and not a single musician was from Wakanda!
Babylon Bee worthy that was.
I listened to Beyonce. I have no desire to listen to Beytwice.
Bravo!!!
+1 inflationary language
Well she said to leave the men at home anyway.
Were Africans involved in making this?
I highly recommend listening to Michael Malice’s interview with Thaddeus Russell about Post Modernism. I’m not saying you’ll be convinced but it was interesting, funny and Malice did a a good job pushing theirs Thaddeus on some points.

I was hoping for an interview about anarchism, agorism, and counter culture. I was disappointed when the entire interview was on post modernism.
The Atlantic is on the pop culture beat
This tonal muddle is appropriate to the state of the American psyche in 2019, when fury and rage are constant factors in every kind of discourse and seemingly empty threats can be hard to separate from real danger. The Art of Self-Defense, which follows Casey’s transformation from mild-mannered office drone to terrifying street vigilante, functions as an update of Fight Club, 20 years on. Whereas that earlier film saw its disaffected Generation X protagonists get in touch with their violent instincts as a form of catharsis, The Art of Self-Defense posits that these days, men do not have to dig deeply to find their inner brutes.
This role is an ideal fit for Eisenberg, but also an interesting challenge—though he’s played many a deadpan weirdo in his career (in films as disparate as The Social Network and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), they’re usually of the motormouthed variety. Casey, by contrast, is muted and robotic, given to skittishness and liable to fully shut down when threatened. After he’s attacked by a motorcycle gang, he considers buying a gun, but instead starts taking karate lessons with the mysterious Sensei (who provides no other name).
Nivola is one of those actors with movie-star good looks who has found his calling playing bizarre characters, and The Art of Self-Defense finds him at his funniest and weirdest. Sensei presents himself as a cool and collected warrior, but speaks in meaningless platitudes, telling Casey to buy more heavy-metal CDs and learn a foreign language, such as German or Russian, that will make him sound “tough.” Silly as this advice for becoming more masculine is, karate provides Sensei with a simple method of ensnaring lonely men in his cultlike following: Have them learn to kick and punch, and reward them with special belts.
——–
Stearns’s satire is mostly of the blunt-force variety. It’s hard to find much nuance in a film in which the characters bark out sentences such as “Everything should be as masculine as possible” and challenge one another to fights to the death. But that’s the world The Art of Self-Defense is describing: one where pure testosterone bubbles to the surface of every conversation and confrontation. It’s ostensibly a fantasy. But it looks a lot like home.
Masculinity is a pathology. Men are pestilential vermin.
OMG a spider! Haaaaalp!
“when fury and rage are constant factors in every kind of discourse ”
That’s strange. Wonder why.
A much better Art of Self Defense
Speaking of spiders……yours truly has one severe phobia, bugs in general and spiders in particular. So last night, I spot a spider scurrying across the floor while watching TV with the kids. Since I find them revolting, I go to find something to smush it with because no way in fucking hell am I letting that thing touch my skin. Before I can do so, however, my 9 year old daughter leaps up and crushes it her bare hand. So now I’ve been one upped by my 9 year old.
I’ve got no problem with (most) spiders (save those species that are dangerous). But house centipedes poke the visceral “Killitkillitkillit” reaction.
For me it’s cockroaches. I’ll generally trap and toss other buggers out a window but roaches get the death-spray without hesitation.
Got one of those motherfuckers recently too, massive sumbitch that looked like one of those palmetto bugs we had once in Florida, but they don’t live in VA. Saw it waltzing up the wall at 2 AM, looked to be the size of a Fiat.
I felt that way until I saw one in brilliant sunlight. It looked as if it were encrusted with priceless jewels. Plus, they kill bugs, so I leave them alone.
This kind:
https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=House-Centipede
When it scurries out from under the cabinet at thirty miles an hour without warning, it activites all the fight and flight reflexes, with the appearance making it “fight”
“DAMMIT! WHERE ARE MY CENTIPEDE FIGHTING GLOVES??!?”
Sorry UCS, but that’s funny. Do you have a bug assault gun?
When I see one of those things, I yell for the cat. He thinks I am the best human ever!
I have a Bug-A-Salt and they are Kick. Ass.
LOL

I believe this headline because it validates my biases.
Even though I call bullshit on the reasons why social media causes depression.
I never liked that “envy” theory of social media. I think it causes depression, and even more often anxiety, due to the constant bickering and fighting and shaming.
Flathead Valley, Montana Crime Update
11:37 a.m. A child was running down the road. Someone thought that was pretty weird.
New favorite page.
From July 2: 4:32 p.m. A Kalispell man reported that he heard music from a “super creepy” ice cream truck in his neighborhood at about 1 a.m. that day. The man thought it was pretty strange for an ice cream truck to be making sounds at that hour.
Watch Phantasm some time.
11:30 p.m. Someone called 911 to rave about the 1991 movie “Sleeping with the Enemy.”
Great comedy that needs one more bullet for a great ending.
“11:25 p.m. A bachelor party near West Glacier included an excessive amount of guns and alcohol. Apparently, the party was making quite a bit of noise for much of the evening but then went quiet. A nearby resident decided to call police because that was suspicious.”
“Oh great, you shot the stereo.”
“But I did not shoot the deputy.”
It was the sudden quiet that was suspicious.
That’s probably when the hookers got there.
And no sounds like animals screaming?
This could be Columbus, OH
4:50 p.m. Someone driving through Kalispell yelled “Hey! Do you have heroin!?” out his car window.
Is it safe?
No.
10:45 p.m. A dog was barking “nonstop.”
How about that, a talking dog
Is its name Harvey?

“A video posted by the NEA shows the Human Rights Campaign’s Sarah McBride reading the book to a group of kindergarteners at Ashlawn Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia.”
WTF?
LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.
Seriously. Despicable.
And where are the parents in all this? They think it’s a good idea? Or at they to lethargic beaten down by public school propaganda to even care anymore? Indeed, what can parents do when their kids are treated this way?
too
It’s Arlington, dude – proggy heaven.
Watched the Indoctrination documentary. There was a pastor on there who made a quality statement.
The church disagrees about a lot of doctrinal items but we have agreed on this… to send our kids to government schools.
“I have a girl brain, but a boy body. This is called transgender. I was born this way,” McBride read
For the last fucking time – the left needs to pick a position and stay with it. Either men and women are completely, totally equal, and thus there is no such thing as a “girl brain with a boy body”, or you have to acknowledge innate differences between the sexes.
And the NEA is possibly the most powerful union in the US.
That must explain why our public school systems are the envy of the world.
#RedforEd? Feck’n commies.
The dew point is 80 fucking degrees right now. I don’t remember seeing that before.
40c humidex here.
And guess what?
My AC system blew and the part I need won’t be in until next week.
Typical.
The house has an internal temp of 30c. right now.
Ask me what I think. Ga’head.
30 is pretty chilly better put on an extra layer of felt.
75 here. Maybe it’s the wind pattern or something but it’s not actually that bad in my non-AC rooms, yet. It was far worse a few days ago.
94 here, with storms on the way.
I mean the dew point. Temp is 89. (Thanks, Atlantic Ocean!)
Oh, well, the rest of the current numbers for the capital district are: Dew Point 72, 49% humidity. Heat index 102.
Yeah, it’s been years. We’re gonna get pounded by storms. Lots of water in the air.
Truck says 91. Fuck this.
It’s 95 degrees. That I can deal with. Dew point of 80 means fucking miserable conditions.
Yuck. It’s 99 here with dew point at 76. I knew we were gonna pay for the downright beautiful June we had.
79F and dew point of 52F here.
?
It was so hot and humid today that we skipped going to shoot sporting clays. ?
No shit. That is miserable…sweaty hands and sweat running in your eyes it is pointless to try and shoot. It is certainly not enjoyable.
Yup. I knew the course would be next to empty, but it would not be enjoyable at all.
Our dew point isn’t quite that bad – 73. 97 and 104 heat index is bad enough. Supposed to be 101 tomorrow and 99 Sunday. I’m not leaving my house till Monday morning.
Temp: 83F
Dew point: 37F
Relative humidity: 16%
I got to thinking about it a while back. I’ve lived in the high desert of NM most of my life and I have never lived in a house that had A/C.

Tom Woods already covered this a while back but evidently Dollar stores hurt poor people by offering them cheaper alternatives.
Damn it. Reverse Brooks’ed
As dollar stores sweep across America, they are facing growing scrutiny from opponents who argue that discount chains stifle local competition and limit poor communities’ access to healthy food.
Fuck these people. Dollar General is not a grocery store. There is a limited amount of food, but its primary purpose is cheap household goods just 5 minutes from my house in the country side.
Dollar General is awesome.
But those people should totes be buying artisanal mayonnaise from quaint little corner stores at triple the price. Because it makes rich progs feel good.
You poor people should pay more so I can live in the town I remember from my childhood!
Yep. I get as much as I can from Dollar Tree – trash bags, ziplocs, paper towels, cleaning products,
OTC medication, etc.
Coffee filters
Dollar store paper towels and plates suck. I’ve tried them.
Screw the snobs that don’t like DG, they have great prices and they’re willing to set up shop in places where no other stores are. DG does more for the poor than the bitchers and whiners ever will.
How does that work? If anything, it might make a supermarket reconsider the viability of an area.
So what?
Those mom and pop stores that buy there inventory at Walmart and sell it at an 80% mark up.
Yeah, it’s all about the mom-and-pops who have the ear of local pols. All that other mendacious crap is a distraction.
Bullshit. How many times does this need to be debunked?
I looked up my address once. I supposedly live in a food desert. I can walk to a Best Way, a Super Wal-Mart, and two more Latino markets. A giant is about 3 miles away. Such bullshit. Must be paid f for by big chains
I sent an email,identifying myself as a researcher and taking the attitude that of course they would want to correct such an error. Never heard back
The whole southwest quadrant of my town is classified as a “food desert” by the USDA (I used the food desert locator tool on their own website).
Within this alleged food desert is:
– A recently-expanded Kroger with a large fresh produce and health foods section
– A family-run meat market that sells local produce
– A bulk health foods store
– A farmer’s market in the summer months
Their criteria are pretty fucking hinky to say the least.
Teddy fucked her then killed her through gross negligence.
He should have rotted in prison.
Facts (the fucking) not in evidence. I think he was heading to a secluded beach where he hoped to fuck her, but drunk and hyped up on testosterone, he went off the side of the bridge. The fact she left her purse behind in the cottage pretty much indicates they were just “going for a drive.”
Seems legit.
Mary Jo Kopechne was not available for comment.
I hope he’s being eaten alive by worms to infinity in hell along with anyone connected to this travesty.
Mary Jo could still be alive today when you think of it.
Makes no sense. If that was the case why not just go with that story and exclude the fact that another woman was in the car?
He should have been driving a VW.
He didn’t know she was there…that’s why he called a lawyer. Now it all makes sense.

As I have been actually working the last few days after coming back from vacation, have there been any comments from the Glibs on the new Corvette?
https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a29781/mid-engine-corvette-2018-rumors/
Base price is $60k, but I imagine one at that price isn’t going to happen for a while. After a year or two for demand to taper and GM to work the bugs out it would seem like a very interesting proposition.
One of my Thursday poker buddies just bought one. Not the 750HP model, the one with “only” 650HP.
He bought it online and had it delivered from New Jersey. Says he saved about $18k doing it that way.
Ewwww….NJ….
He may never get the stink out.
?
I know of two people that bought the 750hp models and they were back on the showroom floor within a couple of days. They decided they didn’t have a death wish.
I don’t remember what year it was but I saw the corvette ranked as the no.1 most unreliable car on the road. Average miles before a breakdown was 500 miles.
I never thought about the corvette again.
have there been any comments from the Glibs on the new Corvette?
Autopaddleshifty only. Hard pass.
*As if I would ever buy a Corvette, new or otherwise.
No manual? That’s just sad.
Buy a lovely little 370Z with a 5-speed manual transmission at half the price.
The 370 is ancient! At this point a new one is going to have huge depreciation.
Sadly the way of Ferrari as well. Porsche gets it and charges you more for the slower car on their top models. And BMW is now mostly manual free.
I don’t think we will have them that much longer, but we are a dying breed. Miata May be one of the few exceptions as it isn’t actually an ultimate performance car.

From Bob Boberson’s Gilmored (?) link:
As dollar stores sweep across America, they are facing growing scrutiny from opponents who argue that discount chains stifle local competition and limit poor communities’ access to healthy food.
Dollar stores have never been more popular. Yet a wave of cities and towns have passed laws curbing the expansion of Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR), which bought Family Dollar in 2015. The companies are the two largest dollar store operators in the country, combining for more than 30,000 stores throughout the United States, up from under 20,000 a decade ago. By comparison, Walmart (WMT), America’s largest retailer, has 4,700 US stores.
Advocates of tighter controls on dollar stores say the big chains intentionally cluster multiple stores in low-income areas. That strategy discourages supermarkets from opening and it threatens existing mom-and-pop grocers, critics say.
Store opens in poor neighborhood, poor people hardest hit.
Good grief.
Leftists really hate poor people.
What are you talking about? Leftist LOVE the poor.
It’s why they’re always trying to make people poor and keep them that way.
Any good company knows to cluster multiple stores to maximize profit. Especially in rural areas.
Have you guys noticed that Lefties don’t really believe in human will or volition at all? In this example, they believe that if a store opens, people MUST shop there. It’s like SimCity. A business opens, and it’s assumed that people will just start patronizing it like automatons.
But those people should totes be buying artisanal mayonnaise from quaint little corner stores at triple the price. Because it makes rich progs feel good.
Farmers’ market. Produce from a wholesaler, repackaged (and repriced) as “home grown”.
It was grown on someone’s property, ipso facto; home grown. Where it was grown ultimately doesn’t matter what matters is the virtue signaling.

Morley and Jackson were Rs. Still “The parties switched” thing is pants-on-head retarded.
“While one source claims Warren G. Harding, a Republican, was a Ku Klux Klan member while President, that claim is based on a third-hand account of a second-hand recollection in 1985 of a deathbed statement made sometime in the late 1940s concerning an incident in the early 1920s. Independent investigations have turned up many contradictions and no supporting evidence. Historians reject the claim and note that Harding in fact publicly fought and spoke against the Klan.”

The comeback state of 2019: Kansas economy rebounds from tax-cutting disaster
Bullshit, the Kansas economy was fine during the tax cuts. It was the state budget that was in the red and that was because they refused to cut spending.
Shows you what bullshit those rankings are, when the state government’s budget somehow affects the supposed health of the economy.
Somewhat obscure human achievment in history – 22 years ago today (and exactly 40 years after Derek Ibbotson broke the world record in the one mile), Daniel Komen became the first (and still only) person to run the 2 mile in under 8 minutes.
Jesus.
I could never run the 4 minute mile but I got close. I don’t remember the actual time but it was 4:15 or some such. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t do it.
2 miles in 8? I cant imagine that.
One of the few times I actually timed myself on a one-mile run, I did it in 6:30 or something, and it fucking killed me… But at a jogging pace, I can go a little over 5 miles nonstop at 260 pounds, so I’m not going to beat myself up over it.

If those are the choices, vote “None of the Above.” What happened to the center of the “center left” Democratic Party? Is the GOP still “center right” or have they moved toward the left too? If Libertarians picked the best of each party (that is, ideas that support most individual liberty) would the LP then occupy the center? A Ross Perot-type guy, running an independent campaign, might do quite well in 2020.

They forgot Pinto Colvig.
After several hours using these over the last couple days, I find I don’t hate them after all. They connect speedily and reliably to one another and to my phone. They stay in place at least while I’m sitting at my desk or doing housework, though I imagine they’d be an issue if I were working out. I thought the case would be a hokey, extraneous piece of hardware, something else to clutter my life that I’ll probably forget somewhere, but in practice it makes perfect sense. When I put away the buds they go into the case, where they charge and are less likely to be lost. At least so far it feels like a solid purchase. Of course, if they’re anything like the Bluetooth headsets I’ve bought in the last couple years, they’ll last a month and a half before crapping out.

I love things like that. Madrigal dinners, choral music. It’s fun. The first time I went to Paris, I went to a recital at St John the Poor (12th century church) that was apparently the master’s performance of a music student. It was variations on Ave Maria. Very weird but wonderful.
Pretty cool.
I just read,before going, Amy Kelly’s Eleanor of Acqitaine and the Four Kings. Which is a scholarly book, but reads like an adventure novel. That church is mentioned. I was beside myself with excitement. They used candelabras to light the church. So cool to me.
Not a big fan of Katherine Hepburn but loved her portrayal of Eleanor in The Lion in Winter.

These guys?
Uh-oh. The fret board on the one dude’s morin khuur has swastikas on it. Enjoy their music before they get banned form YouTube!
Wrong orientation, I think. Internationals are now recognizing the difference
No fucking way

What you did. Saw it.
Let’s just pop off some random shots in the hood. What could happen? Dumbasses.

‘I just want to die’: Police release camera footage of stolen police car that crashed into semitrailer
Watch the bottom video. I got the chills watching the end of the dash-cam part of it.
I sympathize with him for whatever was going on that he wanted to die. But fuck him for involving other people in it. Thank goodness the semi driver was unhurt…at least physically.
“Mongolian throat singing metal band!”
Umm…uh…okay.
Tulip posted a video some time ago. It’s pretty damn cool, actually.
I had often wondered what happened to the big, bad, world-conquering Mongolians. When I saw that video my first thought was “holy shit, they haven’t changed one bit.”
I used to like panramio on google earth. I could spend hours looking at photos from all over the world. Some of my favorites were in Mongolia. For the four or five days when it isn’t frozen the place is unbelievably beautiful.
Try this. It is a strangely compelling way to spend an afternoon looking for foreign places. Haven’t tried for a while but I got pretty good after a while.
Ooh, that’s a rabbit hole
Thanks a lot dude. *facepalm*
Now y’all wont hear from me for six months.
There is (likely apocryphal) story about experimental economists trying to work with Mongolian shepherds. They basically patted the guy on the head and said “we are rich shepherds, you are a poor grad student, keep your money”
Experimental economists pay people to play games (prisoner’s dilemma, etc).
They weren’t interested. Keep your money, you need it more
I love the big ore boats: YMMV
Historic ore boat nears return to service following long layoff
They couldn’t start up until the song was done.
“The legend lives on, from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitchee Gumee….”
These ladies will make you whimper like a small animal in pain.

Sorry Buddha, you have been unenlightened.
This is why you were reincarnated as a hungry ghost.
