So much for "law enforcement is always right."

I love ASMR, but not if it involves whispering. It includes such things as cat purring, ear picking, nail filing, and crinkly sounds. I use it to help get me to sleep and to destress during the day. Also there are far more female ASMRists than male, so if you're only interested in male ASMRists, your options are more limited. Some favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fbYn-63lvY:2100 Although ASMRSurge is the best male ASMRist I've come across, his soap carving videos are hard to watch because the hand holding the blade could so easily slip and injure him.

For me, this happens after getting off to porn. I'm no longer at all interested in what I'm watching and close the tab right away.

Without images, porn doesn't have much point if you're watching it to get off.

I know a lot of people who participate. Some drop out, some don't. It's meant to be motivating.

Isn't "huffing" whippets, aka laughing gas or nitrous oxide?

Gobble gobble! The holiday is good, although the myths and legends surrounding it are not.

Why does anyone here posting need to go into the bigger story? Moreover, I disagree with you that there is one. You think it matters that they are from different parties, while I don't. What I think is interesting, and somewhat odd, is that a mixed group (gender, not partywise) tried to get into a strip club. A plausible reason for that is as a prelude to sexual activity. You were offended by that suggestion. What I get out of this is that I didn't approach this the way you would. You are cordially invited to post your own thread, then. If you want to add information and context to this one, do so, but realize that snarking about my deficiencies when you do that reflects on you, not me, and doesn't make the perceived necessity for the additional information more persuasive to others.

It makes sense to me. Some people find being given the bird insulting. There might also be racial or class differences between the judges and the people who stopped. People driving around at 3 am are more likely to be drunk or looking for a fight themselves. I agree that the decision only touches the surface, but that may be due to caution and an inability to establish more because of the participants' intoxication. These decisions only recite established and undisputed facts.

Yes, weed made me very horny. IIRC, out of the 4 or so times I partook, I had sex after all but one. In one case I had an orgasm that felt like the ripple effect when you skip a stone across a pond (not that I have or could ever do that), which was pretty neat. It also felt like the orgasm lasted a couple of minutes. I don't know if it actually did or if it was the time-altering effect of the weed, but that was very enjoyable.

That is...counterintuitive.

I kind of want to ask "if you didn't mean it literally, how did you mean it?" Sometimes it's obvious what's meant by hyperbole and sometimes it isn't. I'm not a mind reader.

I wish you the best, @Unicorn. I hope you find a relationship that brings you happiness. I just haven't thought that was likely given the methods you were pursuing.

Huh? I thought this was amusing and strange. Nothing more than that. Seeing as the source is primarily the decision of the judicial system about what happened, I don't get your criticism of that as sensationalized. It didn't occur to me that the judges' political affiliations mattered. Also, I read the entire article. I know that the injuries were serious. I also know that Bell was taped saying it was all her fault for flipping off the passing car to begin with. Now she claims to have no memory of that, but it does seem as though her actions started it off. Irrespective, it was a lack of judgment and doesn't look good for any of them. The judge who was seriously injured paid the highest price, but he also was the one who pled guilty to assault. And it's not as though stopping to beat the shit out of them was a particularly wise act on the part of the passersby. As for you thinking less of me, go right ahead. I don't particularly care what you think of me. Yes, it was a serious situation, but there's also an element of absurdity to their drunken antics. If you think less of me for making fun of that, <shrug>

I wasn't interested enough to go looking for it. Didn't realize you had that much initiative. Isn't Judge Bell violating some kind of Republican femininity code by randomly flipping the bird at cars passing by while shitfaced and seeking to enter a strip club? Although if the interest in a strip club portends a potential threesome or foursome between the judges that was derailed by the shenanigans, I commend her for that.

Respect. Black women on Twitter mince no words in their political discussions even though their views are often ignored by the people and media at large.

Sex. But it's been many years since I last partook, and those occasions can be counted on one hand.

Netflix doesn't own Hollywood, and to the extent they're shaking it up I see this as largely a good thing.

Except not all of those other STDs are minor. Hepatitis, for example, is a big pain to treat, and some treatments are themselves disabling.

Doesn't anyone read this stuff? (Rhetorical question - I know they don't.)

The practices are the same.

Does hotel staff not change the sheets once a day anyway? While I know of hotels that don't until you ask them as an environmentally conscious practice, why would asking when you need it be a problem? Or were you just embarrassed? I'm sure they've seen it all before!

Except that is actually true for many people. I'm a bit stunned by the title of the thread. "Safe vs. Bare" is a non sequitur. There is no "safe," only safer. That said, treatment for some of the STI's that PrEP doesn't prevent is neither easy nor cheap, and some of them cause a certain amount of suffering and pain while active (aǹd require celibacy until treated), have treatments that take awhile, and/or are asymptomatic and will only be caught through screening, which itself takes time and effort to do. Color me skeptical of whether someone for whom condoms are too much of a bother will actually get tested as often as they should. That doesn't mean someone can't decide the risks are worth it; I'm just skeptical people are actually weighing the risks with detachment. We draw lines in different places and we each get to live with our own choices.

What makes you think this is a mixed group politically?

It wasn't until fairly recently that I discovered "quay" is pronounced "key."
