SP and I have been horrified, saddened, and often amused. And then there’s our actual life. At least the weather has turned nice, we’re starting to break out our red wines, cooking outside, and offending the neighbors with our clothing-optional lifestyle.

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.
—Talk Dirty to Me
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?
A.
STEVE SMITH SUDDENLY REMEMBER PREVIOUS APPOINTMENT!
Well, my son’s toilet costume was a great success. Everyone we saw last night really enjoyed it. And so it is the end of the week and I am more than ready for the weekend. I hope everyone enjoys the cool temperatures as glaciation winter descends across America.
Just so I’m clear, bullying witnesses is a tactic only Democrats can use? I just assume anything that doesn’t factually report what Trump is doing is just a giant projection of what his opponents are doing.
It’s cold here in Houston. Damn cold. 34 degrees is unacceptable. Man, global warming is bullshit.
Third place is better than fourth place.
New Zealand have dispatched Wales in the RWC third-place game. Grand Final tomorrow around the same time (let’s go Springboks!). Not sure if that’s Saturday or Sunday. Thanks a lot, International Date Line. Baylor remained undefeated while App State fell off the list. And on the ice, your winners were Calgary and Montreal. And in the NFL, the 49ers stayed undefeated thanks to Kliff Kingsbury’s “unorthodox” coaching moves for the Cardinals. Yikes! That was some serious stupidity.
“I WANT YOU” to buy a NWO t-shirt.
Lou-, Lou-, Lou- Louis th-, th-, th-, the Stammerer was born on this day. As were author Stephen Crane, sportswriter Grantland Rice, golf legend and one of the nicest guys in the world “The Black Knight” Gary Player, businessman and philanthropist Charles Koch, free speech and titties advocate Larry Flynt, Hebrew country legend “Kinky” Friedman, wrestling manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, electronics exec Tim Apple, and anti-vaxxer with a nice rack (at one time) Jenny McCarthy.
A solid list there. Especially Gary Player. May he live to be 150. Anyway, on to…the links!
Trust this crazy, malignant fuck at your own peril, Dems.
The House of Representin’ has voted to move to “the next phase of the impeachment inquiry”. I guess the previous stages didn’t require a vote, since this is the first one. I hope McCarthy sticks to his word and subpoenas Adam Schiff. That should be a TV-worthy shitshow.
You want a NHS-style health care system? This is what you get with a NHS-style health care system. Well, that and the Liverpool Pathway. And excessive wait times for basic services. And shitty care. And no innovation. And a host of other deplorable side effects.
If you haven’t read SF’s Subaru House of Horror feature for today, go do that and come back. Someone else already got the first comment anyway. I love SF story time as a reader of Glibs, but a man could feel a little pressure following that act as a poster.
Happy Halloween, to each and every one of you. The one night where you can go around dressed as your real self without being arrested. Well, many of you. Be careful where you go with the “chaps only” look on the bottom.
I’m going to disagree with our President on this one. Now if he said “US history”, he’d still be wrong, but he’d have a case.
Vampire bats are highly social creatures, and will share blood meals with hungry bats. Speaking of sharing blood meals… (t/w 2nd link is infowars, but its a fun link for Halloween)
I wonder if these people understand their system would be illegal in a post-capitalist society with “free” healthcare. God bless ’em, though. They’re engaging in consensual exchange of goods and services for the betterment of each other and their community. I’m all for that.
Our B-side is (marginally) better than your B-side!
The Nationals won on the diamond last night in the only scheduled MLB game. Your hockey winners were Tampa, Edmonton, St Louis, Montreal, Florida and Vancouver. And across the pond, ManUre knocked Chelski out of the League Cup and Liverpool did the same to Arsenal on penalties after an incredibly entertaining 5-5 draw. Although Klopp isn’t thrilled with the potential quarterfinal scheduling.
“You, Angie, pick up that blood!”
Dutch master Jan Vermeer was born on this day. As were poet John Keats, Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, Chinese leader Chang Kai-shek, habitual liar Dan Rather, actor Michael Landon, comedic actor and brother Brian Doyle-Murray, funny man John Candy, football coach Nick Saban, and human hobbit hybrid Peter Jackson.
When I was a journalist, I loved Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s assertion that the Constitution and the First Amendment are not just about protecting “free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.”
But as a government official traveling around the world championing the virtues of free speech, I came to see how our First Amendment standard is an outlier. Even the most sophisticated Arab diplomats that I dealt with did not understand why the First Amendment allows someone to burn a Koran. Why, they asked me, would you ever want to protect that?
It’s a fair question. Yes, the First Amendment protects the “thought that we hate,” but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another. In an age when everyone has a megaphone, that seems like a design flaw.
Oh, fuck off.
(And an additional “fuck off” for being behind a paywall.)
“Hold on, hold on,” he says, when this reporter looks skeptical about “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” It turns out that Legend has updated the lyrics with Natasha Rothwell (Insecure) and recorded it with his fellow The Voice coach Kelly Clarkson. The song’s every bit as fun and swinging as the original, and its newfound sensitivity feels genuine, not performative.
A federal appeals court ruled that a home owner isn’t owed any compensation by police after a SWAT team blasted away at his Colorado house in a stand-off with an armed shoplifter and left the property a total loss.
Leo Lech sued after police in the village of Greenwood fired gas munition and 40-millimeter rounds through the windows of his home in the June 2015 standoff with the shoplifter who had barricaded himself inside.
Cops even went as far as driving an armored vehicle through the doors, tossed flash-bang grenades inside and detonated explosives in the walls of the property.
A federal appeals court ruled Leo Lech isn’t owed any compensation by police after a SWAT team blasted away at his Colorado house (pictured) in a stand-off with an armed shoplifter and left the property a total loss
Lech, who had estimated his losses at about $250,000 and filed a civil suit seeking compensation for the damages, was told he would get nothing by a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit on Tuesday, reports the Washington Post.
Belleville, Illinois, has forbidden teenagers from trick-or-treating since 2008, with no plans to back down. Belleville, just across the Mississippi River from Saint Louis, is the county seat of St. Clair County and the most populated city in Southern Illinois. It is also the town where the company now called Jelly Belly Candy Co.—which helped popularize candy corn—was founded in 1869. Mark Eckert, the mayor of Belleville, signed an ordinance in 2008 that banned anyone older than 12 from trick-or-treating. More precisely, the ordinance forbids “seeking or obtaining gifts, food, candy or contributions of money, as is customarily and commonly known as ‘trick or treat’ in the celebration of Halloween day.” (An exception is made for older disabled children accompanied by caregivers.)
Oh, fuck off. With a side of “Christ, what an asshole.”
Well the Astros blew it last night. But like I said yesterday, everybody wants a Game 7 anyway. Across the pond, the Carabao Cup games pretty much went according to plan. A couple of big boy matchups today. Let’s see what kind of team each of them put out there. And in hockey, the winners yesterday were Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Carolina, NYR, Detroit, Nashville, Dallas and Anaheim.
Now a semi-famous writer
Explorer (and exploiter, appropriator, genocidal maniac, and enslaver – WaPo) Christopher Columbus was born on this day. So were founding father John Adams, Admiral Bull Halsey, poet Ezra Pound, actor Henry Winkler, actor Harry Hamlin, soccer legend and cocaine aficionado Diego Maradona, and heir-apparent to the coming dictatorship Ivanka Trump.
Actually a decent list today. Now on to…the links!
Preemption, bitch! At least that’s how I would have stated it were I this judge. But that can cut both ways down the road, so I hope these kinds of idiotic ordinances start getting struck down because they’re unconstitutional rather than on procedural grounds.
Want to read some stupid ass shit? Here’s some stupid ass shit. But in a way they’re right: a lot of people would be happy to join a mob of bandits. They’d be even happier if they could safely outsource all the violent heavy lifting.
Covington Catholic II: Electric Boogaloo. Man, I’m not sure I want to live in a world where your fans can’t taunt opponents. But this may have gone a little over the line.
It’s only Tuesday. Holy crap. I feel like I worked two days yesterday. I made the mistake last week of telling my boss about what I saw coming down the line in our industry in the next 3-5 years, and how that might solve a problem for our client. I spent all day yesterday working on a presentation I have to give tomorrow about it. Maybe that’s why I feel like I worked so hard. I hate presentations. “Carve this complex idea down to 4 slides and 20 minutes.” So I have my elevator pitch, and my slides, and my backup slides.
I think SugarFree is bending reality with H&H. Everytime I read a story about Trump I see them. “You know what we need to get past this impeachment bullshit? Some terrorist killin’. I was gonna wait a year and kill these ISIS guys in 2020, but I gotta do something.”
Pro-Democracy advocate barred from democratic election. Err, “democratic”. I’m sure Jimmy Carter will be along to certify this election from his sickbed.
I think my favorite part of this, hard to pick one, is the idea that a senior officer in the NYPD pretends horror at the idea that anyone would think about using on-duty cops to move someone’s kid to college. I can only assume that his outrage is that it wasn’t charged as a Special Detail and given to hand-picked senior cops near retirement as overtime to bump their pension.*
Practicing for my presentation:
*My grandfather retired from NYPD in the mid-70s. I never met him, but my father and grandmother were always very matter of fact about exactly that last sentence being one of the unofficial perks of the job.
Nice planning, NHL. You take the day when MNF has a pair of scrubs on and there’s no World Series game and you schedule…two games? The Canucks and Sabres won those contests, in case you were interested. Oh, and that MNF game was won by the Steelers. Because the Dolphins are just horrible.
Anyway, the aforementioned fall classic is back tonight. Fingers crossed there’s no game 7. Nobody wants a game 7.
That’s quality special effects.
Motivational speaker and author Joseph Goebbels was born on this day (hat tip to WaPo for the descriptor). As were painter Bob Ross, actor from Jaws, which was a great film regardless of what OMWC says, Richard Dreyfuss, Canadian hockey legend Denis Potvin, The Cure’s Roger O’Donnell, wonderful actress but terrible shoplifter Winona Ryder, and voice actor Dan Castellanata.
Well, here we go. Hope you’re ready for…the links!
Seriously, this is why I’m about to homeschool. Its not our ISD, but its the one next to us and ours will probably get some bright ideas from this shit.
