“SYA has just kicked the patriarchy in the dick.”

We have a joke in Seattle. When asking for directions:

“Put that in your pumpkin spice latte.”

Boosting you physical attributes is, indeed, a total grind. Took me most of a year to get to my target level, and even now I am still going for specific goals. But at least you can continue the grind when you are not actively engaged in a round of Sex.

You have to think of it as less like a Ridge Racer and more like a Tony Hawk: not really so much about finishing quickly as it is about getting maximum style points out of the time you spend.

Yeah, those guilds were a little too “Serious Business” about their guild rules for me to enjoy sex with that hanging over my head. I do not think I could enjoy it as much if so much of my character progression was tied to the guild success. What if you ended up in a bad guild? How would you find other people to play…

As a man, I have found I prefer women who are a bit more sexually experienced. Not so much for purity/impurity reasons (because... really, dudes?) and certainly not for rarity reasons (whether something is rare or not does not alone make it desirable) but because I find it more validating to be with a women who…

Heck, I pre-purchases the vasectomy DLC before I even got a copy of Sex. Never regretted the ability to disable a feature I found distracted from the core experience.

They are already extremely fractured and without unity. It is why they cannot seem to get very far on a national level. Local? Sure, they have enough gerrymandered districts to keep a bunch of representatives in office, but they cannot turn over the country as a whole, nor can they actually accomplish much beyond…

“I’m not out of order, you’re out of order! The whole freaking system is out of order!”

Admittedly, I have found myself attracted to people based solely on what they might write about in their blog. Because I am weird that way.

From the moderate conservatives I have known, that is a pretty serious problem with the Republician party at the moment. The people raised on the hyperbolic rhetoric and isolationist schooling are voting now, demanding ever increasingly unreasonable positions from their politicians. Those politicians have had to…

Early 20th century theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote a lot on this subject, thinking of it as “cheap grace”. The idea being that people who think that all they need to be forgiven their sins is to feel real bad about it and prey real hard tend to simply fall back into sinful behavior because they feel forgiven…

There is a word for that: martyrbation.

Part of the problem with the authoritarian nature of Davis’ subcultural group (as in any authoritarian subcultural groups) is that the people within the group are “good people” so any transgressions they make are forgiven and those who speak can be trusted implicitly. Conversely, those outside the group are “bad…

Of course Davis does not think dignity under the law is important, which is why she continues to debase herself in front of it.

I had a linear algebra professor who was a Berkley student in California while Regean was still state governor. He said that he had been in college for years when the governor started pushing for rules to put limits on how long someone could remain in school, rationalizing that they were being a drag on the labor…

It goes back to something I have said again and again, pro-life advocates typically seem to have no regard or concept of female reproductive agency. Abortion to them is always something a women is pressured into by someone else, never something they seem to consider she might have decided on for herself, or if she did…

It is the kind of crap you see all the time in toxic masculinity. Men in general are no more or less confident in themselves than women in general are, but there are a lot of gendered pressures going on that keeps them from expressing it in healthy ways, often turning it outward because they are rarely given the…

They are the kind of people who seem to think that charity is a zero-sum game. That if the government is helping out people in need, that stops other charities from doing the same thing... somehow. If you point out that makes no sense, then they will blather on something about thr invisible hand of the market filling…
