Excellent point. I myself just went after the easiest target that popped into my head whereas after a moments reflection I may find Ben Carson even more repugnant. I guess part of the appeal of Trump is that we can laugh at his antics or juxtapose ourselves into his position, whereas Carson masquerades as reasonable…

This season seems to have somewhat more continuity, no? I'd like to see the concept of South Park without Reality pursued further and get a completely deranged view of the town with everyone overcome by cognitive dissonance and infantilism.

I've only very sporadically watched South Park for years now but you're describing the formula which makes it such a cultural juggernaut. Social issues couched in jokes about boogers and cum. It may not be an elegant thing but just about everyone is familiar with South Park and it has undoubtedly moved the cultural…

As a culture we may be in dire need of a shame renaissance. There is a reason shame is such a painful feeling, it's the personal acknowledgement that something is wrong. Sure, there are times when people needlessly feel shame but there are plenty of people who need a reality smackdown. See: Donald Trump.

I believe Teti might have one of those faces. He looks just like my grade school science lab partner. I mean that as a compliment if you're reading this John, my grade school lab partner was both conscientious and intelligent. Though very, very accident prone. Seriously, can't tell you how many times I had to apply…

Yeah, something about working in or around politics tends to make people unusually, shall we say, difficult? They're jerks is what I'm getting at. Not everyone, of course, but an unusually high percentage.

Washington actually. It's about 60 miles between Seattle and Olympia and other than political matters there's really no reason to go to Olympia.

Have you considered penning your ladywife a ribald letter detailing the acts you most looking forward to resuming with her? While she may not be physically ready to enact the ideas therein she will most assuredly appreciate that you respect her health but still, you know, want to get all up in that.

In my experience non heterosexual people are waaay better at picking up on subtle social clues regarding mutual attraction. Eye contact, an inviting smile, and flirtatious conversation will work fine. Much like with women, since, as you've picked up on, humans are more or less the same. But do try to hit on men in…

Have you considered taking a job at a furniture store? I do believe you'd be quite popular and just think of the commission!

Blame it on congress. Back when I had a highly social job I *hated* going to my state's capital city, which is fairly far from my state's largest good city, because the people there were pretty uniformly terrible. So I'm sure DC is immeasurably worse.

Jaded, or spoiled ?… or terrified ?

Most interesting bouquet garni ever.

I'm kinda sad that guy got scared off. He seemed more misinformed than contemptuous. I specifically chose to use a hypothetical trans man as an example because of the point you made. People who are not accepting of non hetero cisgender lifestyles tend to really fixate on what's going on with dicks in particular, it'd…

Oh, I completely missed that! I'm bad with faces. But I'm also not the type of fan who cares if an actor has already shown up and died on screen. It's freaking Doctor Who, reverse the polarity or something.

Now I just want the guy who plays Ollie as the next companion. Well, that and for the BBC to be okay with The Seaward being uttered on Doctor Who. Is that so much to ask ?!

Nice pick ! I've tried Rose Noir and I adore it . Hmm , girl's gotta have some secrets but I will say check out By Kilian's In the Garden of Good and Evil collection . Warning: The website is hilariously pretentious http://www.bykilian.com/fr/

Well not all transgender people opt to have surgery so it's a sexuality/personal appearance/gender identity thing . Furthermore, for many years the psychotherapy community viewed homosexuality as a mental illness but as a society we no longer ascribe to that idea . Freud's view on lesbians and penis envy is actually…

It's not too controversial , it's just odd . I'm stuck at home this weekend so I'll bite , please do elaborate . You feel physically ill when you think a person is not adhering to your notion of gender identity or you feel morally sick at the perceived permissiveness of our culture ?

What else is one supposed to do on a weekend ? Leave the house and interact with other humans ?! There might be some of those transgenders out there for chrissakes ! Then this guy would have to barf on his shoes like any well adjusted person .
