And In Lingerie News
I was previously unfamiliar with the concept of bra euphoria:
Resulting, it seems, in hasty purchases and consequent discomfort. And so,
At which point, I should add that these bra-related dramas are from transgender Reddit, where passions run high, and agonies abound:
And,
And,
This latter detail is mentioned for the purposes of calibrating bra discomfort. I, for one, am learning things today.
Needless to say, a thread ensues, in which grumbles are aired regarding the need for repeated measurements, commission-based sales assistants, returns policies, underwiring, and the shortcomings of bra manufacturers, whose products are deemed wanting, on account of their generally being designed for the bodies of women.
Sadly, female sales assistants who find themselves helping strange men try on bras, repeatedly, did not participate in the discussion.
Update, via the comments:
I should also add that, in discussions of this kind, the term euphoria often has connotations of sexual arousal. Which raises the prospect of female sales assistants who find themselves helping strange men try on bras, repeatedly, while said men may be getting euphoric.
Not every sales assistant’s cup of tea, I should think.
Via.
Also, open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
And yet it is these same people, or types of people, that gleefully scoff at the Christian “Sky Fairy” and laugh at the people who believe in creation (according to Genesis) and for whom the Scopes Monkey Trial is an example of these backwoods god botherers run amok.
What ever happened to the famous atheist/secular humanist cry for Separation of Church and State?
The score seems to be Judeo-Christian God bad, Allah and Great Spirit(s) good; Genesis creation story bad, any Indigenous creation story, no matter how far-fetched, good. Theocracy is ok, as long as it’s not Christian theocracy.
A straightforward task for the Nac Mac Feegle.
Once again: How should we treat those who openly hate us and seek to destroy us and our societies? /rhetorical question
And yet they’re busy insinuating themselves into more positions of status
Despite the fact that not a single bit of human remains has been found on any residential school grounds that was not already accounted for, Canada is about to criminalize denying the “residential school genocide” on the same level as holocaust denial.
Prominent feminist Gloria Steinem renounced her 1977 criticism of transwomen.
1971 – Helen Reddy: “I am strong! I am invincible! I AM WOMAN!…hear me roar in numbers too big to ignore!”
2019 – Frozen: “And the fears that once controlled me / Can’t get to me at all! … No right, no wrong, no rules for me! I’m FREE!”
2023 – What is a woman?
At this rate we’re going to need two border walls.
Feel free to suggest a morally fitting punishment.
Yes.
Fit cow catchers to the front of the ambulances and shove them aside, why worry about injuring them when they don’t give a crap about their reckless endangerment of whomever is in the ambulance or emergency to which it is responding. Arrest the lot and make them do the most menial and disgusting jobs in hospitals, oil fields, and coal mines.
Gooder, harder.
Band name.
More.
Gooder Harder
Very satisfactory “THWACK!!!!’” Batman and Robin would have approved.
indigenous knowledge: I mentioned to some people this Presidential order and they said it was good to make up for past injustices. I pointed out that anthropology in the US and Canada is pretty much stymied because local tribes want to be consulted before anything is published, will not allow blood to be drawn on the living or even on bones. I pointed out how colleges in Australia are supposed to pretend aboriginies have been there forever, not 60,000 yrs. etc. They stuck to the “it is good for past injustice” as if there could be no downside, and just ignored the examples I gave. And yes, it was a white woman making these statements, why do you ask?
Complaining about “uninhibited violence”, but if it really were uninhibited it would be much worse. (Or would that be “better”?)
Once again: How should we treat those who openly hate us and seek to destroy us and our societies? /rhetorical question.
There is an old Hebrew saying that roughly translates to “When a man is coming to kill you in the morning, preempt him.”
I’m just going to leave this here for no reason whatsoever.
Sadly the “This is fine” meme of the dog sitting in a burning building is a much more likely scenario of the future of the western world.
Of course not. We (yeah, DNA and all that – back in the 90s, before the “whoops… no proof here”) have ways of knowing. Which I would be glad to demonstrate for/on those who insisit on blocking roadways n’ such.
Flints make for some nasty scars…
Gooder, harder.
Maybe it’s just me, but the gentleman asserting his right to use public roads doesn’t look terribly Aryan. Perhaps Merkel let a few sane ones in by mistake.
Pied in the face by “climate activist”.
It would be entertaining–and only fair–if people were to start searching out and assaulting these activists in humiliating ways. At dinner, at work, on dates, at parties, shopping, relaxing on the beach….
“doesn’t look terribly Aryan”
and doesn’t respect anything about his new land… that he is colonizing…
and doesn’t respect anything about his new land…
My comment may have been misunderstood. The gentleman assertively clearing the roadway for the good of all doesn’t look Aryan. More like him, please, if the natives won’t do it.
