Kenny

That's an understatement.

How awful. And how awful that he was repeatedly jailed for possession of pot and cocaine. Criminalizing drug use is insane, counterproductive, and surely contributed to this tragic death. A criminal record? Burglary yes; drug possession, no.

The drive from Bell Gardens to LAX would be farther than driving to LA City Hall.

Here’s an excellent example of NYC provincialism: Believing America’s best sushi is found in NYC. :confused: (Hint: Think HI, WA, CA)

NYC is the most provincial place in America.

This subject would make an excellent thread.

This is a bald-faced plea for sex by the OP.

It’s great, in an old-fashioned, big Hollywood movie way.

Rent’s due.

80 is a milestone. Congratulations!

No, you didn’t use the word gross. You said you found men over 45 to be unattractive (“back hair, bald, wrinkles, age spots”). That’s weird — and I’m over 45. http://tommyandalan.com/men-over-50/

What a weird post. Do you suppose it is possible that your attraction to straight men is the knowledge that most find gay sex to be as gross as you find 52-year-old (and up) men, so you have something in common?

That’s why it’s called Yelp.

It’s also consistent with sexual assault of a minor: Power.

Yes, indeed!

8 Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Lip Injections https://www.glamour.com/story/lip-injections-cost-before-after

Yes, but I’m not so sure. Placement that high up would have suggested a need to elongate the head, in order to compensate for the angle of vision, which is a technique commonly found in many saintly sculptures in interior church niches. Just making the head larger wouldn’t achieve that, I don’t think. No?

Michelangelo was 26 when he started work on the statue. He was given a huge block of marble that another sculptor had already made a start on. That might partly explain why the hands and head of David are drastically out of proportion with the rest of the figure. But an expressive distortion of the limbs, which was not a characteristic of Ancient Greek sculpture, is also likely an innovation. Michelangelo expanded on it throughout his career.

A replica of Michelangelo's sculpture "David" that formerly graced Forest Lawn cemetery in Cypress was installed in 1989 on the Cal State Fullerton campus--in pieces. The 13 1/2-foot-long marble work, toppled during the October, 1987, earthquake, was not be repaired.

No one said they didn’t. Irrelevant to what I wrote. In fact, you are confirming what I wrote — that the insurer, not the DSM, is calling the shots. So thanks!

Yes, insurance does. How an insurance company may or may not use the DSM says more about them than it. Authority is "the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience." The DSM has no enforcement power. Zero. There's a reason it's called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

You need to figure out the differences between “authority” and “consensus.” One is about dominance and control, the other is about a socially constructed hunch. One sets up an obstacle to change, the other invites it. The DSM is consensus, not authority. That’s why it changes.

Given that gambling disorder was reclassified from a disorder of impulse control to a behavioral addiction in the DSM-5, there is now no theoretical reason why other behavioral addictions can’t be added in the years to come. A pathological relationship to a mood-altering experience can be as self-destructive as a pathological relationship to a mood-altering substance.
