Have you never heard of vegetable stock?

If you salt the water you're boiling the veg and bones in before you have "stock" you're going to get a really, really fucking salty "stock." The long boil will just intensify the saltiness. Kitchen basics.

I am actually not disturbed by the existence of the rape genre. The point of my original post was that we've put James Deen on some kind of weird pedestal, as if he's a champion of feminism and women's rights, but he participates in these films, which are problematic. My issue with the Bound Gangbang films is that…

Oh my god, that is simultaneously hilarious and terrifying...

You're suggesting that I'm saying things that I am most certainly not. I did not suggest that these films perpetuate actual sexual assault, and I did not say that women who like rough group sex are degrading themselves. Those are your misguided readings of what I actually said. That, by definition, is putting words in…

Right? I don't understand the selfie. It's actually baffling to me. My niece does this, and I just want to take her by the shoulders and yell "STAHP!!!!" My facebook feed is choked with them. What need could anyone have for taking so, so, so many photos of themselves?

Again, you're reading into my comments. Please don't put words in my mouth. When did say that these films perpetuate actual sexual assault? Seriously, stop putting words in my mouth. Additionally, there is a huge difference between participating in the BDSM culture and watching the videos at home. There is a huge…

Way to read into what I was saying. Women have agency, and I'm not saying that the women who appear in these films are degrading themselves, or appearing against their wills. What I'm saying is the "story" of these videos is intended to depict rape and degradation. It's interesting that in the gay versions of these…

Yeah, he has participated in several "Bound Gangbang" videos, which are problematic, to say the least. The whole point is to simulate rape, and degrading women.

What is with this "guise" thing? Why? WHY? Whenever I see it I read it with the (correct) French pronunciation, and then realize it is intended to be read as "guys." I hate it. It's just completely unnecessary.

Wait, this is an actual thing? That someone published? That people are buying?

Oh thank god...

That is horrifying. Now I'm freaking out that I might have a black widow in my apartment... I'm in Chicago, they're not, right? Right? RIGHT???

Ok, well thank you for making sure I won't sleep tonight...

I hate you

Shit! NO, that not all. What about those creepy, hairy centipede things? They would totally love those crevices....

Spiders.

"a explicitly and politically pro-gay anthem"

Ok, I was in a very, very long-term relationship with someone who had herpes. He was on medication to control it. We had unprotected sex (we're talking about a 16 year relationship, so don't judge me!), and I never contracted it. It can be controlled, and is really, really, really not a big deal.

P.S., I was listening to the speeches on NPR, and one of the speakers did the customary acknowledgement of the "important" people in attendance. She acknowledged the members of the King family, President and Mrs. Obama, Former Presidents Clinton and Carter. No mention of either Bush. Does anybody know: did either of…
