What five films would you tell a potential significant other to watch to know what kind of person you are? Inspired by https://mobile.twitter.com/TyleKurner/status/916392896965648385 Mine are: Seven Samurai Do the Right Thing The Money Pit Unforgiven Dogma

The original Torch Song Trilogy is legit the best (dramatic) play I've ever seen. (Touring version, not Broadway.)

It is still confusing to the more literally-minded of us. And I'm not convinced it's always used ironically.

Based on previous discussions where more escorts chimed in, my conclusion is "not so much."

Or how big.

How many of you try to identify the breed of dog? Just me?

I'm not interested in escorts young enough to be my sons. In fact, there's only one twentysomething I have any sexual interest in, and he has plenty of people closer to his age willing to drop everything to have sex with him. It doesn't help when he raps about how his tongue technology will turn anyone on and about fat dicking his rivals.

@Funguy Sorry for your loss! I'm glad your dog had more happy, active years, though. I know what you mean about loose ends. I just had my 15-16 year old cat put to sleep due to an irreversible decline caused by diabetes that wasn't adequately controlled by insulin shots. The apartment is very quiet without her.

I know this is satire, but really it's just a specialized fucking machine.

Here's a Twitter thread of photos of hot male celebrities to celebrate National Boyfriend Day. There's a gay marriage angle to it also.

Ummm....

No, I understood that. Explain to me where the rush to judgment was when they claimed to have found child porn on his computer, without which he wouldn't have been arrested. I would like to see fewer assumptions that a mass murder is due to Islamic extremism because that's a knee-jerk and somewhat prejudiced reaction. But that someone who's arrested for possession of child pornography because it was found on his computer is nevertheless innocent is laughable unless law enforcement is lying or the images were somehow manipulated.

Do I get an apology from @josh282282? I knew, which he apparently didn't, that the feds don't usually file child pornography charges without concrete evidence backing them up.

You're all heart.

Finally, an actual explanation that makes a modicum of sense. Thank you.

Which is why if I were asked for a three-fingered selfie I would be tempted to reply with a one-fingered selfie. Also a sign with a date can be faked. A newspaper front page, less so.

More proof: the Baptist church I grew up in, where there was apparently less controversy about becoming a Welcoming, Open and Affirming church than a friend's Unitarian Universalist church in Arlington, VA. The church's gay-friendly policies were adopted in 1998. http://emmanuelfriedens.org/Welcoming,_Open,_and_Affirming/

You sure this wasn't a game of Clue?

There were other reasons for disappointment, though, like time management, lying and a perfunctory session.

You mean "potentially getting in trouble with Uncle Sam because of their failure to file" and "easy come, easy go lifestyle." The two combined can be a downer.

Exactly, hence the lyrics about Elvis on Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. Even though rock was originated by black artists, it was co-opted and popularized by white artists who could command a larger audience/were more mainstream by the 60s. Even though a black man was the greatest rock/electric guitarist ever (Hendrix, of course), rock has remained more or less exclusively white since then. The other great black guitarists played/play the blues or funk.

The "what is sex" issue doesn't matter for me; I wasn't able to or interested in performing a blow job until my late 30s and the first time I was penetrated or had an orgasm with someone else's help happened in October of my sophomore year at college. A year later I'd also tried, and enjoyed, anal sex with a fellow student whom I dated for a year before an amicable breakup that didn't foreclose subsequent sexual encounters.

Some people take the payment for time only bandaid way too seriously. The same is true in the other direction, too.

Except that's the extent of the verification required. Guess they didn't want to bother with the recordkeeping requirements.
