Hmm. Maybe you just need a bit more of a break? I don't think the whole "get back into the field immediately" thing works for everybody at every time. It could be that this calls for a quick vacation or reinvestment in a passion or even just a month of processing the whole thing. You have time. Another month is…

I remember that I couldn't masturbate for a bit after my first breakup, which was sort of unprecendented for me. Attempting to fantasize brought up so many emotions that I was distracted and couldn't keep at it. After a couple of days, I resolved that I was going to masturbate to orgasm without using any fantasy at…

I met my first girlfriend because I was volunteering. We happened to meet and have something ready to talk about because of it. If you can find the time, it can be a decent way to get out into the world.

The Ultimate Human Who Wastes All The Other Humans And Eats Their Bones?

Hmm. Scandal-mongering? Yellow journalism? Neither quite fits. It sounds kind of like tabloid journalism, but not.

As a social democrat (basically), one thing that bugs me about communism is the way that it tends to suck up all of the air around the topic, so to speak. It's a fairly specific branch of socialism that I also think doesn't work. There are tons of ways to develop the ideals of socialism that don't involve material…

That actually seems to describe what I've been able to make of Norm MacDonald's political leanings. He rarely talks about them, but he seems to be against any situation where a human (if one assumes that a fetus is a human) gets killed.

God, it's annoying. It's a non-binding motion that calls for the formation of an exploratory task force. This is what triggers protests. I'll hate to see what happens if the government decides to take any actual action.

With us, it's the whole country or nothing for things like this. Provinces can't enact legislation pertaining to criminal law, so you couldn't have a province with a different law from the rest of the country about weed being legal (unless there's some end-run using the notwithstanding clause that I don't know about).

I can see, at most, three Utena characters as being good at holding their liquor, and two of them have had a very long time to practice.

Mall musketeers. Someone get Spencer's Gifts on the line.

If I recall correctly, the classic Glasgow Smile is executed with a Stanley knife that has two blades locked in and a matchstick separating them.

My all-time favourite headline (no article, as it couldn't add anything):

Damn, I didn't know that. I'm 33 and I look like an infant compared to John Candy in that movie. Maybe he was one of those dudes who hits middle age at 22 and just stays there forever afterwards.

That's true. It wouldn't be funny to just point at bad YouTube comments, as they're easy enough to find. The recontextualization is the humour. I suppose I just think it's rich for the whole "punching up" idea to have become popular on the internet, where the vast majority of humour doesn't meet that standard.

Ehh, I think that rule has been somewhat overstated. People often laugh at things that are technically punching down. Reposted A7X tends to be one of the funniest posters here and that humour is totally based on laughing at incomprehensible teenagers on YouTube. There is no sense in which that constitutes "punching…

Perhaps it's her manifest destiny.

So who's buried in the Eastern Bloc, then?

I've often thought that if adultery were a crime, long-term adulterers could serve their community service by teaching time-management courses at school. How the fuck is there even that much time in a day?

Bitterness and depression have saved me from fascism once again!
