And now J.C. will never achieve his purpose of becoming the most famous Meatloaf celebrity impersonator in history.

Be fair XanthamGum- I started from the question of what Drift would be like with someone after you had sex with them- would you be able to experience what making love was like to yourself from the other side? Emotions are apparently part of drift, so- do you “taste” the emotions of others while they make love to you?

If I understand the Drift correctly, I’m not sure it matters what you’re interested in. In fact, those types of memories are mentioned specifically In-Universe.

I don’t know if this is a zombie thread or not at this point, but two things:

In Psychology, the Pygmalion effect is understood as “People eventually act- and internalize- in the ways they are expected to behave.”

Think of it like this- Mainstream culture will provides 100x more male/female pairings than same-sex pairings. People who want to see different-sex relationships? Don’t have to create or do anything, because next week new movies and novels and episodes will be released to meet that need.

It’s strange- you can die for your country as a soldier, have the symbol of your religious faith recognized and placed on your tombstone in Arlington...

On behalf of white people- stop embarrassing us. A child is dead. There may or may not ever be a place and time for your comment, but it is fact that here and now is DEFINITELY not that place and time.

I know I’m a lowly grey- but I’ve been where you are (commenting on an updated story that... changes. badly.)

As nice as it is that there was a anonymous tipster, the fact is that Sgt. James Young was identifiable due to this AZ Central article from 2015... in which he talks about training young police officers.

In much the same way Beyonce’s Lemonade wasn’t “for” white people, Lundt’s post isn’t “for” black people.

Fascinating- as white people, our Racialized Patriarchy-Loving, Longing-for-an-illusion-of-the-past contingent has always been pretty... vanilla.

Adam Lambert put the shoes on and walked around without embarrassing himself.

Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar- and upstaged Beyonce’ and Eddie Murphy- thanks to her time on American Idol.

I am not black, but as an intermediate LGBT between an old and young- a middling, if you will- Queer is to younger generations seems like the N-word in the black community.

I called the Cincinnatti Public Schools public affairs office today (Hi, “Dawn”!) in order to get the school nurse’s licensure number- so that I could file a complaint with the Ohio Board of Nursing. I also wanted to know if the Administration of Carson Elementary School are still on duty, or being investigated for…

Old Crow Medicine Show was formed 9 years before Mumford and Sons, almost 20 years ago. Southern hipsters have been around for decades- just ask Austin.

I don’t want to appropriate “Oh no baby, what is you doing”- so we white people need to be working on alternatives because all I can hear is Oh no baby, what is you doing?

Poor Madonna- she’s probably crying herself to sleep on top of a pile of rentboys and Grammys over an insult about a performance from 21 years ago.

Bless your heart- you were obviously talking about Kids who were specifically Goth who had ALSO been cutters AND ALSO glorified the scars.
