Q. I’m am a 35-year-old woman with a 35-year-old man. We have been dating for half a year now, he is absolutely perfect, and I’ve never loved a person as much as I love him. I don’t want to say our sex is a problem—it’s really not. It’s extremely satisfying and I’ve never orgasmed better in my life. The thing is what turns him on is talk of love, monogamy, growing old together—stuff I love to hear. Our sex is very loving, and we have a great emotional connection every time. But sometimes I just want to be screwed, if you know what I mean. How do I convey this to him without seeming like I have a problem with how things are? Usually we communicate well, but for some reason, I’m hesitant to bring this up. I’m really worried it will mess up the best relationship I have ever had.
A. STEVE SMITH NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND, HIM HELP! NEXT TIME YOU “WANT BE SCREWED” – JUST GO WINDOW AND GIVE THREE LONG SQUATCH GROWL.
HERE EXAMPLE.
STEVE SMITH LISTEN. HIM HEAR, HIM COME OVER AND HELP. BY HELP, MEAN RAPE.

Q. I’m going to cut to the chase. I suffer mental illness and boy did it f**k up my past relationship.
I was with a guy from Canada for 2 1/2 years so I already had THAT against me, what with being an American. While I admittedly had a lot of body image issues before we dated and I gave him the heads up. He accepted it and we decided to start dating anyways. The problem was, dating this guy was a mistake because he was emotionally abusive.
He pushed me to give nude photos a lot, told me if I didn’t strip for him I didn’t love him, made fun of my weight… stuff like that. I don’t even feel like going into the rest… Generally this made me WORSE but I was too stupid to break up with this guy. In return I did bad things too. I regret constantly bothering him to talk me out of suicide and cry that if he left me I’d kill myself. I was very sick. I regret it all so much now and if I could apologize from the bottom of my heart… I would if I could. My parents weren’t taking me seriously at all during the time to get me ANY real help until it was far too late.
After he broke up with me due to the stress of my mental illness I went off the wall and constantly harassed him over the phone to talk to me. At first it was because I missed him. But then it was anger over all the abuse in the beginning (there’s more but I don’t want to go in any further)
It got back to me from my old friends after a huge fallout. I was labeled a “stalker”. I guess I deserved this.
After 5 suicide attempts my parents finally took me seriously and got me help. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
I’m currently getting help and making a lot of progress but this leads me to ask..is there any hope for me in the dating world? Let’s be real. I REALLY f**ked up and I was obviously very, very sick. I was so scared of dying alone I recently drank bleach just to end it all. So instead of wanting to die anymore.. why not keep trying to be mentally stable? but what the F**K do I do doc? I can get better all I want but whose going to want a crazy like me?

STEVE SMITH SUDDENLY REMEMBER PREVIOUS APPOINTMENT!
FREE CASCADIA!
Dillema solved! My old boss gave me the Kia van I’m driving,
I am once again
Yusef drives a Kia!!!
Too predictable. I’d like to see a plot twist.
That Is the plot twist …
Yeah. Major letdown.
Kia says Relax,

Needs a couple TALL CANS in the cupholders.
HEY YUFUS!
Sup Tres!
Tall Cans!
Lol!
I didn’t expect it.
*sheds tear*
I’m so happy for you . . .I barely recognized you without one.
Excellent.
YAS
GAVE it to you? No blowjob or anything?
I am glad for you Yufus! I thought things were bad with this boss? Did he send you the title yet?
Even STEVE SMITH doesn’t stick it in crazy.
As for the first gal, guys like a girl who takes charge, just sayin’.
Pegging fetish confirmed.
That for my muffin top comment, wasn’t it?
Did you say something?
I don’t think I noticed.
You: “I’m going as a blueberry muffin.”
Me: “Muffin top confirmed.”
I’m hurt that you didn’t notice.
Oh he noticed.
Did you see Deadpool? I would let Morena Baccarin peg me fo sho.
I think you mean firefly.
She didn’t peg anyone in firefly. I agree she was hotter then, but then wasn’t everyone 17 years ago
You didn’t SEE her peg anyone in firefly. LET ME HAVE THIS!
Still works for me.
“I was with a guy from Canada for 2 1/2 years”
A supermodel, I presume
He wore blackface and stole everyone’s money for social justice right?
I have the TV still tunes to the channel the news was on earlier . . . It’s been over for over an hour, But i’ve been doing other things. I just looked up and . . .Woke Charmed is on . . Live!
I’m changing the channel.
Talk about horror theater!
Don’t have to dream,
For next Halloween,
That was not written by a person with a borderline personality disorder. Not a chance.
Why in the fucking hell would you drink bleach to kill yourself? I mean seriously, you want to end it all and you wake up and go, Hmm what is the most horrific death I can think of? It freaking burns your mouth and throat so badly you suffocate as your airway swells shut because it is dissolving!
Maybe she wanted to have a lighter skin tone at her funeral?
Tylenol overdose is pretty bad too.
To punish the people that let you down, an easy suicide let’s them off the hook, ‘Oh he couldn’t cope’ etc. etc. So you off yourself in the most horrific way you can manage to let those assholes know that this is what they drove you to, if they had even one ounce of compassion and had treated you better you may not have had to resort to this, it’s on them at that point, “Jesus, was I such a cunte that he’d rather slowly peal off his skin and soak in a tub of balsamic vinegar and salt than spend another minute with me?”
Suicide as an escape from chronic pain or terminal illness I understand and even support. Suicide to hurt people deserves Dante’s vision of hell. It only hurts people who actually love you. That means it is vengeance that only hits people in proportion to how little they deserve it.

My only caveat is mental illness. Some people truly have thoughts and emotions beyond their control and no support system to edge them from the cliff.
I had a guy that drank Draino to off himself. Nasty way to go.
How did that smell? Serious question, how the hell do you guys deal with seeing and smelling things like that? What is the PTSD incidence in EMTs? 90%?
He swallowed it, so there really wasn’t a smell. But when I went to intubate him, there were no discernible landmarks.
PTSD is interesting. Fortunately, time and distance in many cases can make it go away.
Three names, didn’t think it possible…..
Brazilian investigators said on Friday a Greek-flagged ship carrying Venezuelan crude was the source of oil tarring Brazil’s coastline over the past two months, but the firm running the ship said its voyage finished “uneventfully.”
Beware of Greeks bearing oil?
I don’t want to say our sex is a problem—it’s really not. It’s extremely satisfying and I’ve never orgasmed better in my life.
?!!?!?!!??
But sometimes I just want to be screwed, if you know what I mean.
Ah.. I think I see the problem.
This is old news, been going on for weeks. My theory? Venezuelan oil tanker, sabotaged by environmentalist. 100% sure chance.
I don’t think the Venezuelans need sabotage for their ships to be leaky.
Yes, but what an opportunity for the Eco-Nazis.
Jesse and Tonio might like Greeks bearing oil….
That comment is crude!
Get Brent!
So your boyfriend I s supposed to read your mind between fucks ?
Dumb bitch.
Wait till he decides to just screw her when she is not in the mood for that…..
Wut. I missed… something, and now it’s Steve Smith links? OK.
Just folded space back from the new pub. We got there… so late because you know, women always have to never care about when you want to arrive.
But… We got down there about 5:45 and… there’s like no one there. About 30 spaces at the bar and all empty. OK, that’s good.
So, out comes one gramps who could totally tell me to get off his lawn, but he doesn’t appear to have the energy to do so.
So I says ‘Can we just sit at the bar’.
Sitting at the bar.
Bar girl approaches. Holy fucking shit, she’s gorgeous and Thicc. If you like that. I’m not talking fat, I mean curvy as hell, great ass. Not that I noticed, asking for a friend.
Manager was super friendly. I mean maybe he just appreciated business, from the looks of it. But we seemed to hit if off right away.
We liked the place, food was good, beer was great, I had a good German Heffe on tap and a Porter from Ohio.
Cool thing was, the owner/manager came up to me and told me to drink up, it’s on them. So I managed to finish off another 8 16oz beers, no cost.
I don’t know how I didn’t get into trouble because I was super friendly with blondie thicc girl at the bar and wifey didn’t say anything. And at one point, she said to me ‘She’s not wearing any calchinhas (panties)’, and I was like ‘What? How the hell can you tell, she’s wearing jeans? Yeah, they’re skin tight, but…’, and she just said ‘I can tell’. Women, they weird.

Ah. It was a dream.
He’s in a holding cell until he sobers up.
Yeah, no, it wasn’t. I fully expected the wife to tell me at any time ‘What are you looking at’? Maybe because the manager was all making all over her for her to pay attention, lol, anyway, it was great. We got home happy and full and buzzed.
Dude, the bar tender is fucking hot as hell if you like thicc girls, WOW! I think to make up for it, the guy hired the other 2 bar tender from the fugliest girl club of Murland, one many dike with blue hair and another non-descript ugly girl. But the girl has one of the best asses I have seen in a long time. I told my wife that, she’s not upset with me.
Tell me more about this blue haired dyke…for a friend.
She’s your typical Starbuck’s employee… am I missing something?
Beware – when you least expect it…
She’s waiting because he is trashed. Tomorrow when he is sitting there with a throbbing head and a gallon of draft stomach, she will serve him a greasy breakfast and start in on him. Brazilian women know how to get revenge.
No, I don’t think so, she’s Brazilian. But I still don’t know how she can tell the girl wasn’t wearing panties. I mean, she had on super tight jeans, but they’re too thick to see panty lines, I mean unless I guess, you’re a woman with your super radar vision.
Don’t listen! Your wife wants a three way with her! If you see her there again, playfully suggest it! I’m a single guy who’s almost forty with no real prospects, trust me!
“Don’t listen! Your wife wants a three way with her!”
I sure as fuck hope so. / best of all worlds
Huh. So where is this place?
Near me, bro. I can’t remember where you live now…
Ah.
I’m in New Hampshire. I grew up outside Philly and visit the Philly area occasionally.
Balmer, Mt. Washington. We’re moving out of here soon. Funny thing is, we might actually wind up in PA, in York county, of if not, in Carrol or Frederick county MD. Also, if you really want to see beautiful people here, go to Canton, one of the wealthiest burbs in Balmer and the only time my wife got pissed at me at the bar because of a female I was checking out. She was pretty, but I’ll take the wall flower with the fantastic ass over that any day.
So I hope the Freedom state is working out for you. Did you go there for that?
Sortof.
I got a job in Massachusetts after I got done my undergrad but didn’t have either the money or the desire to live in Massachusetts. So I commuted from New Hampshire. That commute sucked. Eventually I got work in New Hampshire.
It’s OK. Being in NH makes being in New England bearable. Winters are too long, the place is too crowded, and it is too expensive.
pics or it didn’t happen
I wanted to, but I thought better. Maybe next time.
OK, you’re done, Mac.
Porter from Ohio… happen to know the brewery?
I can’t remember at the moment, it was #10 on their beer list… Abbey Burger, minute…
Great Lakes Edmunds Fitzgerald
That’s a good beer.
It is. I picked up a 12 pack of their Ohio City Oatmeal Stout today to fill the fridge up. A nice fall/winter sessionable stout. The Mad Elf, Three Hos, 12 Dogs of Christmas, Winter Warmer, and Great Lakes Christmas Ale are all tempting though.
I think I had 6 16oz glasses, lol. And I’m a little buzzed. I’ll get up tomorrow and run 4-5 miles and do it again in the afternoon. I don’t know what is wrong with people who can’t drink beer. I mean I don’t do that every day, but it was Friday!
Wife and I were watching a show on Globo about Octoberfest in Germany this morning and this beer hall girl comes out with about 20 huge mugs of beer, it must have been like 50 lbs, and she’s just gracing about the place, and I said ‘You don’t know how much strength that must take, and she’s making it look easy’.
I’m signed up for a different studio’s spin class tomorrow morning. Try out all the introductory offers, see if any of them fit my style more. Running would just fuck my knees up (old injury from the days of track in junior high).
I never ran until this year, and I’m careful to not do it on concrete. I also typically do it in short bursts, like a half mile, and then walk again. So if I run 2-3 miles, I usually cover 5 miles because I’m just walking part of it. Although I did run 4 miles this morning and then walked after that, just depends on how I’m feeling, I think I’m learning how to know my limits and avoid injury.
I’m thinking I’m going to pick up weight training again soon, I used to do that a lot, but it’s been a long time.
My sister does half marathons, my brother-in-law does triathlons, I’ve got several friends who do ultra-marathons. I’ll stick to my cycling, I managed to get in a couple of metric centuries (62.1 miles/100 kilometers), and several half centuries (50 miles) this year. The long term goal is to get a full century in. I’m hoping to be able to train for it and get one scheduled for next year. The cycling season is pretty much over here, with the temps hovering in the low 30’s. I don’t want to wipe out on either wet leaves or an ice patch.
LOL!

Does anyone else think that with this girls that the first time he screwed her dirty that she’d change her mind and decide she couldn’t be with a man who viewed her as such a slut?
She’d wake up in the morning sore, call her blue haired women’s studies PhD friend and accuse him of rape.
Maybe … just maybe … she wants to feel so irresistible her man can’t restrain himself.
STEVE SMITH MAKE YOU FEEL IRRESISTIBLE!
I believe it was Hyperion who shared this joke:
A woman goes to the Husband Store. The rule is you can go up as much as you want, but if you want to go down, you get nothing.
A woman goes to the 1st floor. These men have jobs. Nice, she thinks, but I can do better.
The men on the 2nd floor have jobs and want to have kids. Nice, she thinks, but I can do better.
The men on the 3rd floor have jobs, want kids, and are handsome. Very nice, she thinks, but I can do better.
The men on the 4th floor have jobs, want kids, are handsome, funny, tall, and rich. Very nice, she thinks, but I want what is on the next floor.
She goes to the 5th floor. It is empty. A voice from a loudspeaker says: there are no men on this floor. It is here to prove that women cannot be pleased. The exit is to your left.
Thanks, Derp. Yes, it was me, and it’s a legendary truth.
Jordan Peterson did a video about the top 5 male love interests in romance novels. It was something like billionaire, vampire, pirate, serial killer, and I forget the other.
But oh no- it’s men who have unrealistic expectations of women.
To be fair, it’s fantasy. I doubt women are holding out for a real vampire.
But are men holding out for real high school cheerleaders?
If they’re billionaires, yes.
I’ll just leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epxs1-IdZiM
I got bored. Why is everybody wearing white on a white background?
Romance novels are porn for women. It’s the….archetypes? Platonic ideals? of attractiveness.
You can’t make yourself into a billionaire, but you can comb your hair, put some cologne on, and wear a sport coat when you take her out on a date. You can’t make yourself a vampire, but you can give her a bite on the neck. You aren’t a pirate or a serial killer, but you can handle her a bit rougher then is usual.
Platonic ideals?
no.
Lessee … I have written billionaires and pirates and killers, but no vampires*.
I love all my heroes. Would I EVER in a million years want to be in a relationship with one of them? Oh hell no.
*Still thinking about my middle-aged frumpy housewife vampire living paycheck to paycheck for eternity.
If she can save just a few bucks each paycheck over centuries she’ll end up rich.
I figured out that since she’s now a vampire, she can work night shift at QuikTrip. Never get tired, never get any body aches, super fast. QuikTrip pays well. too.
Now, when HR figures out she’s worked there for 30 years and she still looks 53 …
Then she’s gonna have some problems.
Nah, HR ain’t gonna notice shit.
The only person who would notice would be any romantic partner.
Quit, move to another location under an assumed name. She doesn’t even have to learn a new trade and will be employee of the month in her second month.
Not sure she’s getting a romantic partner at all. Sheri Tepper wrote a book called Beauty that struck me in many ways.
I don’t know what my vampire’s purpose would be. I actually had her discover her purpose, and then I didn’t write it down and forgot the idea.
But she needs a quest or a purpose, not a partner.
Oh this, I want a guy that likes sudoku and hanging out with me, cooking and stuff. But that’s not my fantasy.
Men don’t read romance novels, but probably porn is the closest analog. So women fantasize about powerful men, and men fantasize about teen girls, at least according to the number of PornHub videos by category.
Women seek mates that will support their kids and protect them from the world
Men seek mates that are likely to be fertile
Neither is consciously aware of this
Men seek mates that are likely to be
fertilewillingFTFY . . . although I will state that we prefer women who are fertile
You are talking about what you consciously seek. I am talking about the unconscious cues. Hips, tits, long full hair (which indicates adequate nutrition, as do good nails), youth. We evolved to dump our seed in fertile vaginas; women evolved to open their legs for men who would feed them and the children.
Or, God created us that way because it works best. 6 of one half a dozen of the other.
Jarflax – Bilateral symmetry, which is an indication of low levels of genetic mutation, is sought after more by men than women.
Our meat bags are weird.
That’s what you talk about during sex??
Yeah, if he pumped her like rag doll until he got off then rolled over and went to sleep, she’d complain about that too.
_”I can get better all I want but whose going to want a crazy like me?”
… I got nothing.
I tried to fix crazy once. Never again did I try.
Failed at fixing crazy twice.
There’s no sexy like crazy sexy.
It’s still a poor choice.
And yet we still go there.
Never tried to fix it, but I’ve tried to taste it without paying many (countless?) times. The yin/yang ratio is strong with them. It’s better…and worse.
Devils Backbone released a sampler pack that has 3 different beers, all of which are themed to support a different nonprofit.

One is for dogs, one is for mental health, one is for wildlife firefighters. I liked them. But I like pretty much all their beers.
“Honey, shut up and fuck me.”
Why is this hard?
Oxymoron?
Because that’s not passive aggressive and doesn’t give her any avenue to bitch to her friends.
At least that’s my assumption.
Well, when a man likes a woman………
When a man likes a woman….
“Honey, shut up and fuck me. Why is this hard”
Because of who is asking the question. Men are always going to say that and be OK with it. Women are always gong to be the ones still talking and saying that is a road to sleeping on the couch for the night. So tell us the solution?
Learn what your lover likes? Do that and ask them to do what you like? If anyone mentions dressing up like an animal leave?
Dude, you’re talking about dealing with a woman. I mean, I think that’s what we’re talking about. Logic and reason just flew out the window.
Even then, you do gotta throw out the occasional surprise. “You know that girl from accounting I told you about? She’s upstairs.”
Girl from sales dude. Girl from admin maybe. Girls from accounting?
Freaks
Well, I was going to say,
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING?!
but I decided to go the passive route and say, “I have said this to my husband before and he happily accommodated me.”
Same person for the last…geez has it really been 16 years already. Where does the time go.
Is she straightforward about what she wants?
Oh yeah. Communication is key.
*high five*
First, I’m skeptical that the husband is actually aroused by talking about holding hands as they sit on rocking chairs gazing at the sunset and growing old together. That sounds like something a guy would say he likes because he thinks that’s what she wants to hear. Second, why do they have to talk so much? Why’s everybody gotta wear costumes or pretend to be a naughty firefighter or talk a bunch of outlandish shit to each other? It’s sex, why complicate shit?

Dude, I’m a fat single 52 year old who doesn’t want to think about how long it has been, and that sounds dull even to me.
Larf!
So much this. They are stillin the “new love” stage and he thinks she wants to make love all the time. She just needs to say, look…
It’s amazing how many of these situations would be solved by just talking to the other person. That last girl, though…I think Mr. Smith’s response was spot on.
Yeah, she’s willing to Fuck him, but can’t tell him what she wants. Can you say dysfunctional?

https://medium.com/@ThinkNowTweets/progressive-latino-pollster-trust-me-latinos-do-not-identify-with-latinx-63229adebcea
Maybe because they have a vague understanding how Spanish works?
I don’t even know how to pronounce Latinx.
The problem is that neither does 98% of Latinos.
It doesn’t come up for me. I just call people by their name.
Commie?
Have a stick of gum.
I don’t even know how to pronounce Latinx.
Same way Mexicans pronounce the Nahuatl X. It is pronounced La-Teeen-sch*
*Not serious.
I know plenty of latins are socialist, for the same reason Europeans in 1847 were socialist, when you live in a feudal culture people yelling hang the landlord appeal to you, but I know zero ‘woke’ latins. I suspect latinx is used exclusively by white suburban girls with blue hair.
There’s always one.
It was invented by white proggie intellectuals to appeal to white proggie intellectuals.
‘Just like a Hollywood jump scare, though, this late October asteroid poses no actual threat. It has already passed by us at a speed of nearly 27,000 miles per hour (43,452 kph) and is likely only between 2 and 7 meters in diameter, which is too small to do major damage even if it had impacted.’
Then why should I care?
‘What’s really remarkable about this spooky space rock sighting is that it speaks to how astronomers are getting better at spotting incoming asteroids. It’s very possible that we’re getting buzzed by cosmic boulders on the regs, and always have been, but we’re just now getting a sense of how much traffic is really up there.’
Oh, well carry on then. Of course, without a contingency plan in place for a life altering/extinction asteroid hit it really wouldn’t matter. For most of us, we’d be excluded anyway. I’m sure some of you have taken at least rudimentary precautions for such a scenario, but I worry about extinction scenarios about as much as I worry about the Illuminati, ghosts, being hit by lightning, mass shootings, the Rapture, MTV, people who name their sons Clement, and pop music: not at all. It’s a force or belief I have no power over and being a very modern man, I’m too busy/lazy of a to prepare for or obsess over the worst.

Tornadoes are the biggest boogeyman here, but my home sits at the top of a very hilly neighborhood, with a very large river just a couple miles to my south. My biggest worry is any tree limb damage to the roof or exterior walls. And it’s a rental home, not really my problem aside from short term inconvenience. I may be a pothead, but I still have enough sense to cough up rental insurance in case things go beyond that and damages my personal property.
the Illuminati, ghosts, being hit by lightning, mass shootings, the Rapture, MTV, people who name their sons Clement, and pop music
You should be prepping for at least three of those.
Tornadoes, being hit by lighting, and mass shootings are the only things that could possibly be negated by common sense and/or preperation. I posses neither of those. In fact, I’ve spent many hours running around outside to see the first two.
I have stood outside in a Tstorm barefoot more times than I can count. THere is nothing better than standing there in gale force winds, with rain stinging, your skin, smelling the ozone from the lightning. I’d do it nude if I lived alone.

2020.
November 4, 2020, Republicans have retaken the House and hold 58 senate seats and the White House. RBG gives up and retires because 4 years is too long. Everything is wonderful and the swamp will be drained. January 28, 2021 A budget with a 1.5 trillion deficit is signed, the Federal payroll adds 150,000 net jobs, laws against a host of victimless crimes are announced. Obamacare is retained with minor tweaks, all of which do nothing but add costs and subsidize them.
“A budget with a 1.5 trillion deficit is signed”
That’s a bold prediction right there. An actual budget?
Fair rebuttal, a CR with a 1.5 trillion deficit is passed over Democrat objections to the insane austerity
‘An actual budget?’
When was the last time we actually passed one instead of an Omnibus? We’re already passing those at around a trillion above the tax revenue per calendar year, is it really that far-fetched?
I closed $1.7 billion worth of loans this week (working certain matters for the borrowers). Multiple closings in a week means no time to breathe. I also need sleep.
Florida’s seeing new people moving from Connecticut and Massachusetts since the new tax laws went into place. This shit’s going to push Florida blue in 2020.
You can have some coffee. Coffee is for closers.
I’m so tired and burned out right now I wouldn’t mind if I won 3rd prize.
I drew up documents for 10 transactions, seven clients, this week that totaled under $1,000,000, three quarters of that was for two properties on a master lease and option, one of them $7k. Sometimes listening to you lawyers with real jobs makes me feel like a bottom feeder.
This shit’s going to push Florida blue in 2020.-
Please no. I love Florida. I don’t want to get run out by a bunch of people without self awareness as to why they had to flee their shithole states.
Is that established as true or just an assumption that these people fleeing blue states are still voting blue in their new states? It may very well be true, but I’ve never seen actual data showing it.
Colorado says yes they are. It was a bright Red State 20 years ago
Is that all on transplants? don’t people change, don’t generations, this seems like a zero sum game fallacy, If all the dirty Blues are moving into red states and turning them blue wouldn’t the blue state then become red?
Once a State goes all blue they lock it down with fraud. Go ahead and tell me I’m paranoid, but first look at 2018 in Orange county.
This. Katie Hill would like to explain this but she’s busy writing letters to Steve Smith.
The entire population is turning more blue if you look at Reagan’s time. Then it changes and some pockets of blue emerge and others disappear. Just don’t know to what extent it’s the fleeing people that are responsible for the swings in some states.
I think it’s more a consequence of living patterns. (Sub)urban vs. rural.
The US is 80+% urban now (that includes suburbs).
We need an American Pol Pot.
I have south Florida as an example. The majority in broward are transplants and they vote hard blue.
It happened to California from all the East Coasters that came here over the last several decades.
See my theory below. It doesn’t matter where the growth is coming from. Soccer moms are gonna soccer mom.
The only states that are going to stay red are the states that don’t grow.
I would tend to agree. I know the “it’s them damn Californians that are ruining this place” has lots of mileage and there is a certain small truth to it. It’s demographic change and a number of other factors that are leading to the increase in the love of big gubmint.
Collapsitarianism for the win
It really wasn’t that long ago that California regularly elected both Teams, was a good place to start a business, and had decent gun laws. Most of my childhood growing up was under a Repub governor. The change came slowly and then all at once.
There are a few bubbles about to burst that might reveal a way forward, or not. I dunno.
So you are saying trump is the last gasp before this country goes the way of the UK? Thanks Rhy, I was hanging on by a thread, but now I’m sliding completely into despair.
We need a frontier
Don’t even think about. *reenacts Edo immigration policies*
OH, so you escaped over there and now you want the door locked?
straff is a NIMBY.
I left for a fucking reason. Now you all are seeing what I saw decades ago and wanna crowd my corner? Foresight FTW. *Taps temple with index finger*
Soccer mom being… a minivan driving, pretentious, self righteous mom that wants to virtue signal and get free shit at the same time? That’s more than just soccer moms. Just saying.
We say Soccer Mom because people get mad when you point out that the real solution is to repeal XIX.
My brother was in town last week and declared that every law named after a kid is guaranteed to be a bad law.
I expected to get pilloried for the comment by you or GT or Mojeaux.
Well, for one thing, we’re not soccer moms.
For another thing, I’m sitting here thinking about the blue-i-fication of the suburbs and I’m wondering where it’s coming from. Team Blue doesn’t have that many kids, so it can’t be from population growth.
Soccer moms are not breaking off pieces of themselves that regenerate into new soccer moms.
So if it’s NOT immigration and it’s NOT SJWs oozing across the country, where is the blue-ing coming from?
People just … change their minds and turn SJW? People who were not at one time Marxists just … convert?
Where are the blue people coming from?
LOl, but I was saying it isn’t “soccer moms” it is women generally voting. The largest component of the prog voting base is white women. If women did not vote at all Team Blue would have single digit Senators and double digit Reps.
I was trying to pick a fight damn it!
Oh that ship has sailed. There’s nothing to fight about. LOL
Here, let me show you how this is done.
If white chicks in the ‘burbs knew what the fuck they were doing, they’d quit voting for Democrats. Letting them vote is one of the dumbest things this country has ever done.
Well, that was just the sexiest thing I have ever heard. You really know how to charm a girl.
Mojeaux going all Ghandi Fu and stuff!
*Nelson laugh*
I’m against suffrage for men or women.

Really, I think decades of propaganda plays a big part here.

As long as they don’t go to New Hampshire. We have enough of them.
I’ve said it before.
Florida is going blue anyway. It is inevitable because all the growth is suburban. And it doesn’t matter if the growth is organic or from in-migration.
PS. Texas too.
*covers ears*
LA LA LA, I CANT HEAR YOU!
You can’t stop stupid.
If/when that happens, we will never have a non-proggis president again
Why would suburban growth lead to blueification (that should be a word)? The urban people moving to the suburbs?
I don’t have an easy answer off the top of my head but if you look at election results over time, the older suburbs are turning blue. The newer ones are often red but it’s probably only a matter of time before they go blue too.

I can get onboard with this. *talks to wife*
I just want to thank Beto for setting back the gun control movement more than a decade.
That dude did a lot of damage to his own party, and all for nothing. HAHAHAHAHA!
Even better will be the killer deals on the excess stock the gun manufacturers made in response to a potential ban.
But sometimes I just want to be screwed, if you know what I mean.
*Wink, wink, nod, nod, elbow nudge, raise eyebrow*
I have a theory. Your healthiness is inversely proportional to the number of lies you tell to your doctor. I only lied about my coffee consumption, thus I must be pretty healthy. Well, coffee and my soul crushing nihilism.
My theory is your healthiness is inversely connected to how many times you have seen a doctor in the last 20 years.
I can confirm there are lots of very sick people that “have no health problems they’re aware of” because they’ve never been diagnosed.
Me: how long have you been diabetic & have hypertension.
Patient: I’m not.
Me: well your blood sugar is 400 and you BP 210/110, so…you are.

I was expecting the marines bowl to be full of crayons.
I;ve always liked this
https://me.me/i/infantry-m-rangers-this-sucks-l-like-the-way-this-2677865
And this old chestnut
“If you give the command “SECURE THE BUILDING”, here is what the different services would do:
The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.
The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.
The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.”
My father, an ex-Air Force MP, would probably get a chuckle from that.
air conditioned salons
Hey! Cut us some slack! Those are saloons, not salons.

Shit, just saw a mouse. Glad wife wasn’t in here:) Temp dropped a lot today so not surprised. Guess I’ll be buying traps tomorrow.
Want to borrow a cat or two?
Yup. Only mice I ever see are dead.
My retard cat catches them, brings them inside not even injured and then abandons them to go lay down.
My sister’s cat was first weaned too early, half abandoned at a farm with a group of barn cats, and had to learn to hunt to survive. By the time my sister adopted it, it was a pure fucking predator. She lives in a typical suburban area and the cat is a abnormally small female, probably because it was malnourished as a kitten. But goddman, that thing learned to hunt. It had to. In the suburbia environment at my sister’s home, I’ve seen it jump on the back porch’s railing, jump onto a low hanging outcrop of the roof, climb that, slowcrawl the peak of the house, and jump about ten feet onto a tree branch to run down and kill a squirrel. The poor little fucker never experienced a predatory land animal like that before. I was impressed.
Get a zapper. I had mouse trouble and the good old victor snap traps weren’t cutting it (these mice could eat all the bait and ever get caught) so I bought some of those Tomcat single use spring things, and again never caught shit, still seeing mice and worse their leavings So I sucked it up and bought one of those electrocution machines, pricey sure, but they work caught five mices in six days and haven’t seen one since (about three weeks)
I don’t think I’ve seen those? I check it out.
They look like this
This
Just bought one on Amazon. One day delivery. I know I have some other traps somewhere but I’m not asking my wife where they’re at tonight:)
Guess I’ll be buying traps tomorrow.-
For the wife?!?
Man Woman Tranny threeway?
I was in my buddy’s man cave last Sunday watching football when his fat, lazy, front clawless, twelve year old “inside” Tomcat suddenly jumped off the back of the couch, ran to the side of the beer fridge and rung a small mouse’s neck. He was so proud afterward, it was comical.
I stopped by two days later and he was still preening and strutting.
Every cat I’ve had just bats a critter around with their paws until they grow bored. (These were indoor cats.)
My buddy said it was the cat’s third kill. The first one pretty much went as you described, the second, significant wounding, this one, almost instant kill. He’s learning.
They have to learn it at a young age and from a proven killer. My little one studied with our last cat. The big one just fights other cats mostly.
I grew up on a farm with semi feral barn cats. They sometimes just stopped showing up, so we would get free kittens. My dad would live trap a few mice, then put the kittens, a bowl of water and the mice in the bed of a grain truck. Then leave them alone for a day or so, just checking to make sure they had water. When the mice were gone, he’d let the kittens out. They were excellent mousers.
And I’m out early. Let’s see if I feel up to yard work tomorrow.

Dutch is an obnoxious language to listen to.
It’s even more obnoxious to read. It makes Welsh look like it wasn’t written by a drunk person.

There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.”
MikeS,
Nicely done.
Thank you!
I don’t know why, but that is one of my top 50 movie lines of all time.
Dutch is a funny language with lots of great idioms and funny sayings.
Voor het zingen de kerk uit
One of my favorites, it literally means “before the singing starts, get out of church.” Because after the singing starts the collection plate goes around. What it means in common usage is, “pull out before you cum.”
There’s a bunch of other funny ones.
I like the Russian saying, referring to food shortages, “A mouse hanged itself in the fridge.”
Or, the old “There is no truth in News, and, no news in Truth.”
Good one there.
That’s a good one and the first time I’ve heard it. The internet confirms that’s a thing. I’m not sure what to make of the fact that I learned about it from an American.
My dad went on his LDS mission to Holland. He was there for 3 years.
He taught me a little Dutch when I was little, but I lost it.
I lived in the NL for two and a half years. I really had a great time there and loved the place. The climate in the winter (meaning October to May) sucks and is really dreary and gray.
Here’s another fun one:
Wat heb ik nou aan mijn fiets hangen?
“What is hanging off my bike now.” Meaning, “dammit, what more could possibly go wrong now.?”

I was there in August 1988 with my family. I remember a few things about it. One is how absolutely gorgeous Appeldoorn is. The other is how much my dad loves Indonesian food, a taste he acquired while he was there, and that he missed it all those years.
The rest of us passed. And the pickled herring. We passed on that too.
It has some absolutely fairy tale cities and towns. I biked from one end of it to the other and back again. Lived in Amsterdam the whole time, which is a magical wonderful city. It has the hedonism reputation, but it is just a beautiful, cool city. I miss it.
I would love to go back, but if I ever go to Europe again, I want to go places I haven’t been. Husband’s part Italian, so he wants to go there. I haven’t been there.
MY priority, though, is Spain. I fell in love with the IDEA of Spain when I was 20 and first heard Concierto de Aranjuez. Now, my dad ridiculed me for falling in love with a country I’d never been to from one piece of music (he also told me not to like jazz, but whatevs), but I did. That piece STILL gives me chills.
But that wasn’t the only thing that did it. Kansas City has a district modeled after old Seville, Spain, and I love that district. So between that and the music, it was a lock for me.
So I want to go to Spain and if I only get to go to Andalusia, that will be fine.
You should go to Spain and you should absolutely go to Andalusia. Here is one of my favorite Spaniards playing there. I’m sure you know the piece.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lCeebWgjrrU
I love that. So romantic.
I want to go to the bullfights and watch flamenco dancers and walk around old Seville that looks like my home and eat good food and tour the Alhambra and listen to buskers and I’m gushing and I can’t help it but there. That’s what I want to do.

Redhead’s legs are pasty white from the knees down – noticeably paler than her thighs.
Not that you’d have noticed.
So what? Women have a lot of controlling beauty standards that men don’t give a shit about.
That’s actually rather reassuring.
Huh, that’s true. It’s wholly irrelevant, but it’s true.
I noticed some seriously unsettling blotches. Like, maybe needs to see a skin doctor.
Never mind, it’s my monitor.
Um. I didn’t until you said that. Changes nothing.
Yeah, that chick is hot and looks fun. I’d hold her knife.
Jesus, half those girls look like zombies, or at least heroin addicts.
Those hipbones. Nom.
Oy vey! Yes, please.
Are you and JB insane? The girl to the outside is searching for brains to eat, and the other two brunettes aren’t much better. The blonde could be hot if someone gave her a sammich.
Agreed. They look like they got a hairless cat in a triangle choke.
Send all your hot skinny rejects my way.
It’s not the skinny, it’s the eyes.
They could use some eye make-up but that’s true of all women. I’m on my phone so I can barely see their eyes anyways. Plus, I’ll be too busy gnawing on those hip bones.
Dude that’s how they hunt. When you aren’t looking, they will use their grave cold, steel hard fingers to pull out your spine.
Go on…..
And then, like, eat your brain for sustenance. I thought you understood how zombies work.
Hawt
Maybe I’m just glad he posted some girlies with less that a D-cup.
Also, the blonde don’t need no sammich, she’s hot AF as-is.
Oh, Mike…. Have you not heard, “More tiddy for Daddy”?
“More than a handful is a waste”
Sorry, HiEx. ?
More than a handful mean ‘use more hands’.

Why “nationalism”? Why not “statism” as in by state? Our “countyism”? “Cityism”? “Blockism”? “Familyism”? We’ve got “individualism” and “nationalism” but nothing in between.
There all just Tribalism. In-group vs the Other. As it has been since we were in trees.
It’s kind of hard to murder people when you can’t blame them for things that other people did.
Historically, and prehistorically when the ‘other’ showed up it was to take your stuff, kill you, and rape your woman. I think the only way to get past fear of the other is to decide that the ‘other’ is not actually other. In other words, if they do not assimilate into your culture you will always perceive them as a threat.
You go back to the Old Testament. The In-group, the Hebrews, must obey the 10 Commandments but only within the the group. For the Other, you must drive them out of their lands. Kill the men, enslave the women and children. Why? Because it’s your land to take or because they sacrifice to the wrong Sky/Volcano God. The history of the world is the the history of war.
I’m pretty familiar with being the other and that is exactly why I hate what the left is doing. I know with near 100% certainty that it will backfire and cause that which they claim to be against. Many first generation immigrants could tell them that.
Their goal is still collectivism and totalitarianism. The want to create the new faceless, soulless Soviet man. But first they have to take away your identity. Your culture (by making it evil), your gender (by eliminating it) , your ability to think (through brainwashing and cancel culture). Like North Korea, where you don’t exist as a person and where there is no way to know what’s real except for your fear. You know that’s real.
Probably why they hate stoicism. You can’t scare a stoic unless they let you.
Also why they hate individualism and competitiveness.
Damn that’s some dark shit.
Anybody wanna play connect the dots?

@ Trashy: Have you ever gotten a line on why Eyepiece causes a page refresh when clicking on the reply button? It doesn’t always happen; only after a certain amount of time…seems like 5-ish minutes.
I thought that was an unresolved site thing. I’m not sure what could cause it from the Eyepiece side, but if folks without Eyepiece aren’t experiencing it, I’ll do some investigating.
Thanks. I thought I’d seen other Eyepiece users comment on it before. And it doesn’t happen to me if I disable Eyepiece.
Not that the SUPREME OVERLORD doesn’t have better things to do…
It appears to have something to do with the new comments being loaded in. I’ll figure it out because it’s been annoying me for months and I simply didn’t realize that it was my own fault. ?
That’s awesome!
Also, it just happened to me when I tried to reply to you. ?
Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I found the issue. There’s a script that runs when the page first loads that overrides the default reply button behavior (which is to reload the page). Comments loaded after the initial page load don’t get the benefit of that script, thus the reload issue.
The bad news is that it’s gonna take me a while to fix it. Ima gonna have to save it for another day.
As long as you know about it (and are annoyed by it too!)
I brought it up some months back and at the time you were sure it wasn’t Eyepiece…so progress! 😉
Technically it’s not a bug, but a lack of a feature…. okay it’s a bug, but a very weird one that is specific to the interaction of this particular wordpress commenting plugin with the particular method i used to update the comments.
Either way, I’m glad you gave me the imperative to find it. I’d have gone nuts after too much more of the random refreshing.
Yeah, I’ve wanted to throw my mouse through my wall more than once because of it.
Glad you sniffed out the cause. And thanks again for Eyepiece. I really like it a lot!
FWIW, I have never seen this issue.
But reading your comment again makes it sound like the OP has “dynamic refresh” turned on, maybe…?
I don’t use that.
“The OP”?
I HAVE A NAME!!!11!!
I’m lazy and drunk-adjacent. Give me a break.
“drunk-adjacent”
I like that. I need to try and remember that.
And yes, I do use Dynamic Comment Refresh. After Preview, it’s one of the top features (IMHO) of Eyepiece.
It doesn’t work with my workflow at all.
Sometimes that feature turns itself on (I suspect with a background plugin refresh?) and messes with me.

Moisture exacerbates other defects: it’s easier to become the round leg if some dirty water is involved. Food workers (grocery, restaurants) get electrocuted all the time because of wet equipment. Equipment that’s cold for food condenses moisture; a bit of dirt or food, and that water becomes a decent conductor.
So many things go wrong in a small operation. Extension cords are a huge exposure: equipment is added over the years, extensions are added, and they just get abused, nicked up. Guys have lots of devices plugged to outlets instead of hard-wired to a gang box on a disconnect or a breaker.
People ignore all kinds of things, rolling over them, stepping on them, until something hot comes in contact with a conductor. Then everyone is shocked that anything went wrong.

I can’t jack it to this post. Or can I?
Upthread, romance novels were mentioned as being porn for women/unreasonable expectations women have for men, whatever blah blah blah. Then we were talking about the blue-i-fication of the country.
I can’t argue that women are more likely to agitate for social change. The abolitionists (let’s guesstimate half women) were the squeaky wheel. They got their way. The suffragettes were the squeaky wheel. They got their way. The prohibitionists were the squeaky wheel. They got their way. Now we have the SJWs (I’ll let this term encompass proponents of socialist/fascist/totalitarian regimes), who are the squeaky wheel and they are getting their way.
Abolition led to Civil War. Prohibition led to organized crime.
Yes, the SJWs are going to get their way, and they will get it good and hard.
But the long squiggly path my logic took to bring all these things together is this: When men stop being men, doing manly things, having manly occupations … When they are pent up in offices and getting restless but don’t know why … When the tribalism of sports is the only thing they have to express their masculinity, there are going to be women who look at the world and go, WTF, dudes? Man up.
My church breeds men of stoic gentility. Not an alpha in the bunch— You think. Then you find the lawyers. Better yet, you find the litigators. Socially acceptable rampant aggression. That’s where they go— The courtroom. Or the boardroom. Somebody emasculated Mittens, but he didn’t make all that money without having some balls. You start to look deeper at the occupations these dudes choose and you think, “Oh, there is a man underneath all those quiet, respectful tones.”
I have come to believe that the men in romance novels are billionaires or pirates or vampires because they’re a symbol of power. Manly men. There are romance novel heroes who are normies and just chill until he has to break out the beast, but it’s there. We married women love our dudes and don’t want them to change, but what we also like is to believe that there are men who can and will lash the world with testosterone and still be good lovers, fathers, partners, and human beings.
We like shadowy men, too, but we want to see them be at peace in the company of their women (and maybe children), and want to become better men in his woman’s eyes. We don’t like bad men. We like anti-heroes. They can be tamed a little, but never broken, never emasculated, never weakened, and never compromised.
We want to see powerful men who are not philandering dickwads who drown their secretaries and get away with it, who kill everybody with a little bit of dirt on them, who don’t have to be completely crooked and compromised to get anywhere in life, and who aren’t sticking their cods and cigars in any cunte they see. And if they DO do that, then they feel remorse. Is there a good manly man under there? No? He’s the villain. Yes? He’s the anti/hero.
Romance novel heroes are just an idealized manifestation of what women generally find attractive about men.
The other thing about romance novels is that you never have to suffer through the pain and monotony and grind of becoming successful.
Porn? Sure. But it’s not because of the sex scenes.
Dammit, I labored over that post and still didn’t get across what I mean.
I think you got more across than you realized. That’s probably worth a full blown post, though, rather than a late-night comment on a Friday when we’re all drunk. Or drunk-adjacent.
Agreed.
Hate to steer this back to where I live, but it’s what I know. Marriages here are failing for some of the reasons you mentioned. A samurai shouldn’t be crammed onto a commuter train. Also, and I’ve heard this first hand from married guys here, the mother in law is failing in her role. Traditionally speaking, their job was to rip their daughters a new asshole if they started complaining about their husbands for trivial things. My wife’s grandma chewed her out at a family dinner for just hitting me playfully. “You NEVER hit your husband!” Made my wife stand up and give me a formal apology in front of everyone. Older women enabling bitching by younger women. *SMDH*
IOW, it’s all women’s fault. 😉
That.
As for the mothers, I think that may be more true in Japan than here. Here, the girls just leave or kick the dudes out or go file for divorce, not go running home to mommy. If they run to anybody, it’s to their girlfriends.
The mother in law should be telling them to tough it out and figure out the problem if the son in law isn’t a bad guy, no? WTF are the mothers of these flighty, flaky chicks telling them?
Whose mother is telling who what?
Because of MY childhood, I will tell you this: If I had a MIL who tried to lecture me she’d get her face slapped and thrown out of my house. I would NEVER put up with a MIL who tried to put me through the same hell my gma put my mother through and MY FATHER LET HER!
Coward. Pussy.
My bad. The wife’s own mother should know when her own daughter is getting crazy. The dude’s mom? He’ll no.
This is Aso true for the father of the husband. “You treat your wife poorly and I’ll smack ya myself.”
Okay, that was what I thought you meant but I confused myself.
My mom did run back home right after she got married and her mother sent her back immediately.
I also put that in the prohibition book. Heroine can’t go running back to “mom” when she has a disagreement with her husband.
Happily, this was not my experience, but I get the impression that the Western mother-in-law stereotype-with-lotsa-grounding-in-truth believes the little tramp who conned Mommy’s widdle man into marrying her isn’t good enough and never will be. In other words, the MIL is not training her DIL not to criticize her husband – the MIL is criticizing the DIL. This follows when the Mom didn’t do her job to train her son to be a strong, independent man.
I really fucked up what I meant to say and I’m the not drunk one. Arghh. Example: My wife’s mother sticks up for me even though I’ve never asked for it or encouraged it. She knows when her daughter is being a bitch because she raised her. My brother, who also lives here, will call me out if I’m being a prick to my wife. That’s the dynamic that works.
Agreed. That is a good dynamic.
I’ve never said a bad word to the wife about ANY of her family or relatives. Some are kind of ducked up, but it sure as hell isnt my job to point out what she already knows.
My mom has a saying, “A girl is a daughter all of her life. A boy is a son until he takes a wife.”
Brother #1’s wife was hostile from the beginning. NONE of us likes her and my mom is the most tolerant of her of all of us. Then my bro got into a bit of trouble and my mom bailed them out so my SIL now behaves more appropriately.
Brother #2’s wife is on the spectrum. She can be annoying, but she’s super smart and we all have our mentall illnesses in this family.
My mom loves my husband. She certainly talks to him more than she talks to me. LOL
I’d say most failed marriages are because they become islands without any healthy support from the larger family or people in the larger family are pouring poison into the ears of the husband or wife ala Iago.
The issue I was hoping to discuss upthread with my provocative, and unfair in the specific, but also true in the aggregate, comment about women voting and progressivism was less about agitation for social change (which is a valid point) than about women’s (I know I know I am collectivizing) desire for a protector for their children. That tendency, I believe, leads women to vote for big government, for comprehensive regulation of virtually everything, for laws that ban bad scary things, and for welfare safety nets. Women seem (witness the romance novels) to desire strong independent males, but they then vote for programs that ‘protect’ their children and by so doing coddle those children greatly reducing the chance that their sons grow up to be strong and independent.
Males like adventure, because wars are exciting and soldiers and cops kill those bad other people that we are genetically driven to get before they get us and confronting the threat has evolutionarily been a winning strategy.
Women like safety and a strong protector/provider, because when you average 70% the size of the other sex, have to spend 9 months carrying a baby in the womb and a decade geting them to the point where they can even begin to feed themselves you are psychologically predisposed to think in terms of threats and food providers.
This works fine when you are wandering around a desert, or even living on an isolated farm, but when you live in cities it gets distorted into male voting patterns being about vicarious adventures and female voting patterns being about Government as idealized husband, both of which are terrible things from a liberty perspective.
Damn I shouldn’t try to say things this complex when I am buzzed, I lose track of the grammar and rhythm inside sentences, but I think my fatalistic point may get across.
“Damn I shouldn’t try to say things this complex when I am
buzzeddrunk-adjacent…”FIFY
I would then say that women may vote for government protection because they don’t trust that their men can do it.
You can’t fill a hole with nothing.
/Zen wisdom
To be fair, you’ve probably thought about this a LOT more than any of the rest of us.
True, true.
A motif I’ve started to notice in the little fiction writing I’ve done is the hero who entered a “profession” and discovered that he hates it, so he abandons it in favor of an occupation that allows him to work with his hands. I’m sure a shrink would have a field day with me for that one.
I don’t write about billionaires – my heroes keep turning out to be broke. That’s probably just because I’m a moron.
I’ve read a lot of biographies of different people. Always, always, the most interesting parts are when the person is younger and struggling to be successful. He/she may accomplish great things later on, but their life in general is never as romantic again.
Have you noticed my dudes do stuff with their hands also? I made a very sharp point of it in Lion’s Share, why these rich dudes were out playing in cement and sheetrock dust.
Heh…
Dang! I thought sure that was gonna be The Pointer Sisters.
Well, I suppose “Neutron Dance” is the desired outcome….
/ahem
Not the one I had in mind, but you do you. (Euphemism?)
Yeah, I figured “Slow Hand”, but, I was just having fun.
Yeah, I figured you were having fun, ‘cuz that’s what you do. ; )
My nickname in HS
Your nickname wasn’t “Slow Hand”? I haz a disappoint! : (
“Funster” includes all manner of fun.
Plus, “variable speed Diggy” isn’t quite as…poetic.
Also-
Story of my life…::sigh::
Uh huuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
Well, to be fair, it was usually either, “Is he going to make a move?”, or, “…Already??”
But, there were definitely various speeds.
So they’re all Francisco d’Anconia & Hank Reardon?
/snark
LOLOLOLOL
Hank Rearden, yes.
I actually had one of my heroines come out and say she was looking for a Hank Rearden.
I’ve only read one of her books, but Yes. Except one of them is Ragnar Daneskjold, even if Mojeaux won’t admit it, at least when he is being artistic.
You won’t believe me, but I never made that connection. ???
Really? I thought the whole duel persona thing was a deliberate nod to him, and he is definitely a bit of a pirate/philosopher type.
Nope. I never paid much attention to Ragnar. Wyatt was utterly forgettable. Francisco was sloppily drawn, but his willingness to just let Dagny go with an “Okay, babe, whatever,” always annoyed me.
I was all about Hank and therefore must pretend the last third of the book didn’t happen.
I always assumed Frisco was gay.
He was Dagny’s first lover.
Or do you mean that’s why he was so cavalier about letting her go?
I mean because he talks about Galt the way a 17 year old girl talks about the College Man who seduced her at last night’s party.
OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!
Maybe that’s why he always confused me.
This is one area where I’m weird. Growing up, my Mom did all the construction around the house because she’s a mechanical engineer and enjoys that kind of work, whereas my Dad works full-time and would rather yield to comparative advantage and hire someone.
Now I find myself having a similar dynamic with Mr. Cannoli. He didn’t grow up helping his parents with construction projects, and while he’s willing to learn, he’s taking classes and working full-time, so it’s usually easier for me to just do it myself.
I also do the handy stuff around the house because I like it. Or, I DID like it before my shoulders went kerplooey.
Mr. Mojeaux works on the cars.
Hiwever, I found out an interesting thing about my younger neighbors, the younger SAHMs with kids. THEY ALSO do all the handy work while their husbands go pull down the paycheck.
This is apparently a Pinterest-spawned trend. If a chick wants something pretty, she’d just as soon build it herself.
Yes – I remember one of they guys (Bryce?) building a stone or brick wall. Sexy AF.
Yes. Bryce is a hobby stonemason. Sebastian carves wood. Mitch mixes alloys. Elliott wants to be a farmer. Emilio plays with chemicals. Etienne builds time machines. Jack does handyman work on his folks’ house. Fin does construction. But Knox, Eric, and Trey don’t do anything like that. Knox and Eric have sports hobbies, but Trey doesn’t have any hobbies at all.
Finn*
Shit. I’m not even close to drunk-adjacent and forgot how to spell my own character’s name.
Fen was fin by the end of the book. ::rimshot::
Trey’s day job probably gets him his danger and excitement fix without needing a hobby.
Yeah, Trey does need quite a bit of adrenaline to keep him animates.
LOL
And I liked Fen, too. ?
Gilmore’d.
I need to be proofing Grimme and Bridget.
Srsly? Well, I guess Gertrude was really the unlikable one.
Yes, Trudy was the villain. Fen was her weapon. He’s not without responsibility, though, especially concerning Eilis.
I’ve known people like that, who are evil but completely amusing and they’re good company. It’s a very odd relationship to be in, even if it’s just a casual one.
You just have to know when to cut them off.
And I need to be finishing UCS’s book so I can take a deep breath and dive back into yours. All 2,205 electronic pages of it. ***GULP!*** And I need to get back to doing my own writing…
Eh, don’t worry about mine. It’s probably changed a bit since I sent it.
Well, as far as I got in the chapters you posted on your site, now I HAVE to find out what happens! The length is just a bit…daunting at the moment.
I don’t write broke dudes. I’m broke. I’m living it. Don’t want to live it vicariously. It hurts too much.
I’m rereading Name of the Wind for maybe the fifth time, and I just… hate… HATE… Denna. It’s just not fun rereading about Denna, or Kvothe’s improbably patient love affair with this half cocktease half Canadian girlfriend love interest.
I’ve been single and staid for almost two years and this shit makes me want to forswear sex altogether because it’s so insensibly dumb. I hope Rothfuss never finishes this dumb story.
I don’t, really. I hope he pulls aces from his sleeve. I think the third book is half of what keeps mom alive. She has theories! She reads reddit! I didn’t ever think mom would know what a reddit is. I don’t know what a reddit is. But she’s read up on all the fun theories about the Doors of Stone.
I think Kvothe is full of shit and deliberately made it all up.
What woman screwed you over so badly you came up with Denna?
Fffffffffuck you, Rothfuss.
LOLOLOL That was hilarious.
I love these books so much but
Crud you, Mr. Rothfuss. Crud you so, so much. Please go crud yourself, you probably conniving piece of crud, you.
I have a friend who claims to use Kvothe and Denna’s relationship as a model /smh
I do think if Doors of Stone ever does come out, that relationship is only going to get more messed up.
*TULPA SCREETCH*
Ambrose kills Denna, or something fucked up like that.
OKAY MOVING ON to the much more interesting pastures of why Kvothe is the Kingslayer…
Every so often, the story casually mentions that Ambrose is nth in line for the throne, with n getting smaller each time. Ambrose is going to be the king Kvothe kills.
Well this is just impossible to jack it to. You call yourself a romance writer?
I wrote this just for you.
Oh, Chapter 18.
/yells “thanks!” from bunk
Could you summarize? In your voice? Do you have on of those raspy voices?
As much as I covet Kathleen Turner’s Romancing the Stone voice, I, sadly, sound like a 12yo redneck girl who ate a dictionary.
You can’t jack it to Romance novels. The pacing is all wrong, it’s like it’s written for someone who has to build to an orgasm slowly or something.
“I want to fuck you, Giselle” wasn’t quick enough for you?
No, in that case the issue is the name. Longish story, that deserves much longer treatment because the characters were well worth describing in detail, but imagine this:
20 year old me selling encyclopedias door to door in the dead of winter for straight commission. The sales Managers for the ‘team’ were a very smooth, but no nonsense Cuban guy who looked like a young Hector Elizondo, minus the acne scars, and Florida Man, who had a 70s pornstache and who taught me racist epithets that even Urban Dictionary doesn’t know. Them, myself, a mid twenties single mom, who I am 90% sure had been hired purely because Florida Man was hoping to ‘persuade’ her to sleep with him, and a guy who was just 18, but very much every cougar’s meat, all loaded into whatever Chevy’s equivalent to the Crown Vic was circa 1988.
The job was Glen Gary Glen Ross, but with even less money for the sales people, so any ‘contract’ was a major bragging point. The Managers would drop us off in some neighborhood within 300 miles of Cincinnati in the morning and pick us up around 9 pm. On the day in question I had sold nothing, the mid 20s girl had sold nothing and things were tense in the car when the young guy climbs in all smiles bragging about his “double’ (sold two). The mood briefly lightens, until the details start emerging. One of his ‘sales’ is actually a “We don’t have the money right now, but fill out the form and we’ll call you tomorrow to pay for it, which if you have ever worked sales you know means no sale. The other is an ‘actual’ sale, complete with a credit app (part of our pitch was explaining that Macmillan publishing (oops did I say that) was not a finance company and therefore the interest rate on the $2k encyclopedia financing was 21% over 3 years. The Buyer’s name was Giselle, and as the Managers examined the credit app, it became clear that ol’ Giselle and her boyfriend were ‘between jobs’.
This led to a profane diatribe about what kind of idiot would even bother to pitch (insert lengthy list of racial epithets here, the one that sticks in mind is South Alabama Bluegum, which I have never heard since) and about the value of used toilet paper compared to this ‘contract’, during which the woman’s name became Geesul. And to this day when I see Giselle I hear Geesul and am back in that car, 100 miles from home, at night, with people who would absolutely not hesitate to throw a salesperson out of the car and drive off. In fact, mid 20s girl was left on the street in Atlanta shortly thereafter (I wasn’t on that trip, so I do not know the details, but I suspect Florida Man tried to ‘persuade’ her into bed, and turned out not to have been bluffing with his persuasion technique).
Oh, that’s too bad, but also very hilarious!
Thanks for the story. You know that’s gonna wind up in a book, right?
By all means. One day I will actually make myself write something all the way through and try to publish it instead of writing several thousand words a day one comment at a time, but a story is not hurt by being told in multiple voices. Young Guy (I think his name was Mark, but it has been 30 years and we never talked again after I quit the job) really was cougar bait, I am not theorizing, his time in door to door sales included many afternoon delights with bored housewives, at least one of which I can vouch for personally (we were pitching the woman as a team until she suggested that she wanted to spend some time alone with him and I left, she was undressing as I packed up, and was quite Q worthy).
My adventures were less exciting like the 6 hours I spent discussing Military History with a very cool black guy who was a professor at EMU in Ypsilanti, and the Little Old Lady, who baked me cookies on one sub zero day because I reminded her of her grandson, who never bothered to visit. You learn things about people going door to door, a surprising number of those things are positive.
This both a great quote, and quite uplifting.
The cougar story’s not bad, either.
Seriously, write a post about that.
That’s going in my vampire book.
Blood cookies??
I just told most of the good stories here lol. There are some darker stories. Like the way I finally quit that job (I say finally and laugh, it still seems like I did the job for a long time, but I actually only worked for them for about 3 months).
That’s going in my vampire book.
NO! She was a perfect little old lady! She answered the door, I started to pitch her and she said, very sadly, that her kids were grown and even her grandkids were adults, and then said I looked cold (I was in a suit and overcoat and it was sub zero, so cold was an understatement) and asked me in to warm up, then made me cocoa, and when she saw she had no cookies, she baked me chocolate chip cookies while we chatted!
This was one of my lessons in what people are like. If you are ever freezing find a small house with a well kept lawn that gives off the old lady vibe and knock on the door. If you are friendly and polite you will get cookies!
Oh my vampire won’t eat him but she is a little old lady even if she doesn’t look it and she’s lonely and her grandson doesn’t visit her because he’s dead.
cs, you want the Illustrated Guide to Romance Novels.
Drinking half a leftover bottle of cab sauv that’s apparently $26 a bottle.
That’s pretty mastercard.
Go old skool
When I was a wee lad, I looked forward to visiting my grandparents- mostly because they had cable. I loved the show David the Gnome.
For a kid’s show, it had a lot of mature themes. In the last episode, David and his wife accept that they must die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKttx8SgnHA
Produced by Harvey Weinstein and his bro.
Welp, there go the feels…
I want to read a book by Dave Weigel – The Show That Never Ends, about prog rock. Should I bite the bullet and order it on Amazon?
I want to say pirate it, but stealing from assholes is still stealing, so go to the library…
Meh. I do want a paper book, though. I’ll just buy it. The first page or so sounded OK.
It’s sitting in my ‘to read’ pile. The friend who loaned it to me was satisfied, and he’s extremely knowledgeable about rock, bands, prog, and so on.
Give your library a try, they may have it, or be able to get it through inter-library loan. Michigan has MelCat, which gives me access to pretty nearly every library in the state through my local library. It’s a godsend.
As mentioned above it has been one of those weeks. I’m pairing Bulleit Rye with some leftover candy. Peanut Snickers and peanut M&Ms to be more precise. Can confirm I enjoyed it.
Interesting side note, I bought our Halloween candy this year. Everything I bought has peanuts. My wife took a look and couldn’t understand my choices. Spawn 2 looks and declares its the best candy we ever had. I love that kid.
Is she anti-legume?
No. She just has shitty taste in candy.
Considering your earlier question, far be it from me to take sides
::under-arm fist bump for Chafed::
You can take sides. My wife doesn’t hang out here either.
If I could, I’d be the spokesboy for Reese’s PBC. Of course, I’d get tired of it quickly. Then, after a week or so, I’d be back to shilling good ‘n’ hard.
Looks like all the sex talk upthread got to you.
What are you talking about–I started it!
OK, I jumped in with both feet. Still…
An ode to upthread.
Got a Reese’s Outrageous bar from the office Spreader of Halloween Cheer and Carbs. Chocolate/Peanut Butter orgasm.
Well??? How was it??
The office spreader?!
It was good for me. Even though I know it wasn’t good for me.
Ain’t that the way it always is?
/Figured the ‘orgasm’ referred to the ‘spreader’
//that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
The peanut butter IS a bit sticky, isn’t it?
Indeed. 😉
::fist bump for Sir Digby::
Peanuts in candy is wrong.
Peanuts are salty snacks. End of story.
No, no, salt AND sugar AND crunch.
Mmmmm … Payday.
This chick gets it. Vanilla Bean Salted Caramel Ice Cream is the poo, yo.
You’re a sick, twisted, Individual. The only person I’ve ever known who’s not allergic to peanuts was a roommate from Northern Ireland. Say, you have red hair, yes? Is this some form of ethnic defect that I not aware of? 😉
*not allergic to yet still hated*
Piss off, I’m tipsy.
Right; pissing off…
No idea what you’re accusing me of 😛
I love peanuts. Just not in whole form in candy.
And I don’t have red hair.
Really? I could have sworn you have outed yourself as a ginger at some point.
And my reflex to Northern Europeans hating peanuts, especially of the redheaded variety, is mostly due to personal experiences and YouTube videos of Irish and Scottish people having a violent physical reaction to that faux nut’s taste. I used to give my roommate shit over it, because, you know, racial stereotypes are funny.
NOT allergic to peanuts?
I was thinking the same thing. I think it’s the booze and/or weed talking.
The man who uses a RANDY! WATSON! gif for an avatar has earned a break on my part, so, no harm, no foul.

I’m here feeling that if you’d chosen to live without a phone, we’d all be better off.

Ironically, the results are the same as what their global warming religion would bring about.
Crucial difference being that the Amish don’t want to use the power of the state to force that lifestyle on us all.

Same here.
I think part of the problem with men now is a lack of small scale violence. We have an asshole in our larger workgroup. He looks really good on the surface and says all of the right things, but he’s a liar and lazy. He’s pissed off other people to the point where others moved offices. Thirty years ago, he would have fallen down in the parking lot after work. Repeatedly, until he reined in that crap.
Similar with bums. Ten years ago, if you told one to move outside of the office, they were already beating feet. Now, they cuss and yell back. I had a lady come up to my window screaming yesterday after being told to pick her sizable pile of crap. No fear anymore.
Surely you know some Cybermen that can take care of her.
Ok I’ve finally caught up.
Related to the peanut candy discussion earlier, creamy peanut butter or crunchy?
Creamy.
I would think it depends on the pb delivery system.
::whistles down the road::
Lol
I’m good either way. If it’s a sandwich I want real peanut butter. Not the crappy big brand kind.
I hate to leave such pleasant company, but if I stay up any later, I’m likely to screw up my whole schedule. The good news is that most of us stateside Glibs get an extra hour to hang out tomorrow night!

Are really getting up to start your day? Isn’t it 2 am for you?
My sleep schedule has been off for a while. I fell asleep after work and just woke up.
I guess you’ll have plenty of uninterrupted time to write.
Oh and here’s the flip sode of what I was saying about men.
So you admit gender is NOT a social construct! *twirls mustache*
It would make more of an impact if it were a woman’s mustache
Why do you hate MTF trannies?
It’s a long story…..
Ugh… have a bad cold but it’s compounded by spending my day/night running MemTest and reinstalling Windows. Fun! I hope y’all are well.
Sorry you are sick. May I recommend copious amounts of booze to help you sleep?
I’m one step ahead. Hot toddies with Earl Grey tea, honey. Lemon, and Wild Turkey 101. Also, G\d bless the vape battery. Real smoke is intolerable to my throat but smooth, creamy vape clouds are A#1.
What, did everyone clear out??
Alright–I’ll get us going again with a song.
I’m sorta here, I need to re-read everything so its fresh in my mind before I start moving forward again.
Spoiler – Opening Lines of “On Unknown Shores” :
Well, now–strokes, wood, and death…I am officially intrigued.
/Joking aside, this does sound good.
The real problem in starting a sequel that takes up with a few minutes overlap of the ending from the previous book is that the opening has to A: Not lose people who didn’t pick up the first book, and B: not bore people who just finished the first book. So in five pages (letter sized, 12 point, single spaced, closer to ten paperback pages) I reintroduced most of the main cast and started the exploration of this new land.
I’m still reading what I already wrote,
I know you are a professional writer (i.e. published), but, that is a really profound statement.
Lyrical, even.
It helps that it’s also true. 🙂
It’s late nite and the stories Jarflax was telling made me think of some of the things I’ve seen in the tens of thousands of houses, mansions, apartments, condos, dwellings, crack shacks and flophouses I have had the pleasure and not so pleasure of entering into and working. Humans are a mixed lot, and seeing how people keep their home has been an education in humanity, with all its good, bad, weird and indifferent. Many great and sublime conversations with the inhabitants, and some situations and scenes that I would like to forget. It’s the nature of the business.

I wouldn’t mind having it on a bumper sticker, myself.
Heh, heh. I love it so much.
If I plan on going out and having just a couple cocktails I end up having 10. If I plan on having 10 I have 10. Kind of a conundrum considering I only wanna have 5,6 tonight.
Five point six?
Oh, that’s a comma.
Insomnia?
Sort of. I got a decent amount of sleep at the wrong time. I’ve only been up about 90 minutes.
That puts you awake in the correct time zone.
The correct time zone for being awake is the one I’m physically in.
We only have one time zone, so you’re fine.
Yes, and it’s 3:40 in the morning here.
Be a good time to get some writing in, eh?
I’m awake, I don’t have anywhere to be, I might as well make use of the time.
Though, as I told Digby, I’m catching up on what’s already on the page.
Be with you.
It’s 5 somewhere. Kampai!
Almost. One more hour of faking work.
And this is how I spend my last hour of work.

That first advice question is a doozy. Is there nothing a woman can’t complain about? When she finally dumps him this guy will have dodged a bullet.
While it’s nit-picky/odd/whiny, I don’t think it’s the issue here. Her going to a public advice source–something that is “published”–is the big issue, IMO.
You got a hang-up? Fine; we all do, in some way. But, you had to go and make it public, dincha?
If the question was sent by a bit picky guy:
“My girlfriend loves to wake me up with blow jobs and makes me a sandwich everyday, brings the beer without having to be asked. But her pussy is too tight. How do I tell her? “
I feel sorry for the second advice seeker. her problems have little to do with dating.
South Africa beat the living excrement out of England in the rugby world cup 32 – 12. Dayum!
It’s amazing for England to make it to the finals, when i followed Rugby they were pretty bad.
Thankfully.
I don’t see too many South Africa sports fans on the internet, while England and Aussie fans are generally insufferable.
