Tattoos are just a primitive form of self-beautification. They’re what people from the Neolithic Period did in lieu of plastic surgery.

Just goes to show that Science is not the bulwark of ultimate truth devotees are continuously saying it is. Which is why I base all my dietary choices on Spirituality.

happy halloween!

O god yes I was unexpectedly – and deeply –moved by Melancholia.

Happy Halloween, Meteor!

Thank you!

Thank you! Exactly! Thank you for dimensionalizing my point so succinctly.

I recognize the differences in the political climate of the era. But I maintain that regardless of the era, being caught having sex with a man (vs with a woman) in an illegal public setting would have a profoundly different impact on the public perceptions, and career, of a male pop star.

The ambiguity of the androgynous (half masculine/half feminine) personality is considered a huge factor in what makes many, major art history figures so spellbinding. Similar to the power of ancient witchdoctors, who exhibited a mystifyingly blended male and female personae.

That’s the scary part.

I guess the upside is that now I know what’s lurking out there. Whereas before, I was clueless. All the nutcases were hidden in the shadows. Now they’re flying (red) flags.

Thank you. I always opt for a movie or a stroll through a museum – I don’t like dinner at a restaurant for a first date. It’s the difference between sharing an experience and a job interview.

So I can’t tell if there’s just more conspiracy theories, or if we just hear more about them since the turn of the century because increased exposure via internet.

Is it just my imagination, or has the number of sick fucks parading around with conspiracy theories quadrupled since the turn of the century?

I’d agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.

You’ve included one of my all-time favorites – 2012 – but not the other: War of the Worlds (2005). Yes, OK, I know: it stars overlord Tom Cruise. But it’s a terrific story and the acting and effects are first rate. It’s one of the few end-of-the-world movies I repeat-watch.

Well, I suppose there is an argument to be made. But the problem is that public restrooms are not exclusive to adults: they are also used by children. Restricted behavior is necessary to ensure that all people using the restroom are safe.

You mean, the assholes who make up 99% of the television-viewing public?

I sincerely hope you’re not interpreting my post as a proposal to make public bathroom sex acceptable.
