Histree are fun.

That was from here.

Not even trying to get a drink; not even trying feel up a titty... These kids are lost.

Edjumication.

The internet is better, but vigorous magazines were fun, especially for kids. They would sit still while you figured out what the fuck they were talking about.

They were brilliant when they were in print, and they've been through a number of ownership changes and complete staff overhauls... But decade after decade, The Onion still delivers the goods.

No fashions are as ludicrous as the first in one's preferred field of expression for which one is both aesthetically disinclined and too old to participate.

Fucked up that sentence, go let's have coffee.

But first, compare and contrast.

"Blockchain" is approaching my lifetime-championship for Most Ignorantly Abused Buzzword.

Hundreds of thousands of people are making big money, and perhaps millions are winning admiration and influence, for spinning fantasies for this 25-year-old databasee technology, without acknowledging the unique circumstances of the single use case in which it's proven invaluable. (BTC)

I'll spend the day trying to find a metaphor for this silliness.

It's a couple weeks old, but this is a good listen.

Snoopy, did you not read this part?

"As a tribe that has lived at extreme remove from the rest of the world, the Sentinelese are highly vulnerable to infectious diseases borne by outsiders, against which they have little or no immunity. The flu, measles, even the common cold could prove deadly, spreading rapidly through a close-knit community with devastating and irrevocable consequences."

A highly unusual case, to be sure, but still real.

Of course, had the tribe never had the horrific memories of six of their members being kidnapped in 1880, they just might not be so opposed to outsiders and biologically vulnerable by now. But how is that their fault?

In the late 19th century, a British naval officer described stepping onto a remote, coral-fringed island in the Andaman Sea and encountering one of the world’s most enigmatic hunter-gatherer tribes, an extraordinarily isolated group of “painfully timid” people who ate roots and turtles and stored a heap of wild pigs’ skulls.

Fascinated, the officer, Maurice Vidal Portman, basically kidnapped several islanders. He took them back to his house on a bigger island, where the British ran a prison, and watched the adults grow sick and die. After returning the children to the island, he ended his experiment, calling it a failure.

“We cannot be said to have done anything more than increase their general terror of, and hostility to, all comers,” Mr. Portman wrote in his 1899 book...

The Trump Voter goes out for a bite.

At least Portman recognized his error, putting him legions ahead of other colonizers.

Sterilization, how to get it in pro-natalist environment

Hey everybody, this is the first topic I made, so if I made a mistake, please feel free to correct me.

The thing is, I could really use your help.
I finally want to get my sterilization done, but the docs here in germany are mostly pro-natalist, sexist, bingoing assholes - especially with young women like me.
So, I want to try my luck in bigger cities where the people even understand english (weirdly enough I can express myself better in english) and are maybe more open minded...

Yurble's response sounds quite reasonable.

The New Yorker's comma queen speaks.

"Not even trying to get a drink; not even trying feel up a titty... These kids are lost." ~Crid

You are into incest? Who tries to feel their cousins up at a wedding?

"Who tries to feel their cousins up "

Filthy, perverted, horny teens who have not accepted the Lord into their hearts, that's who.

Heathen animals!

Kitten, if the only ones at your wedding are cousins, it's not a union made in Heaven anyway.

Crid, that 9:24 link didn't work.

No wonder you are single Crid. But I wish you well on the picking up chicks at weddings thing. No matter how weird it is.
