Humans and canines, 40,000 years together - we literally evolved in tandem.

That’s awesome - thanks

Ha- kinda the same - I have a sheepdog who thinks I’m her sheep too; she monitors me all the time, gets between me and anyone else to protect me, and follows me around like a shadow - she wouldn’t run away even if I tried to kick her out. I might have spoiled her a bit (cough), but she will follow me anywhere, albeit…

Ah, that would be wonderful - but definitely not that simple with this furry beast with 120 lbs of double-coated hair. Who will not willingly swim at all. We both don’t mind getting all sandy at the beach, though - good exfoliation!

Yea, it really helps to have the big tubs and sprayers and all - there’s even a gas station near me with a self-service dog wash, hope you can find one close! My dog’s really good about being bathed too - although she literally drags her butt as much as possible on the way to the tub, she seems to be resigned to it…

Neither particularly fun or interesting, but a great distraction from the terribleness of the world - I’m on my way to a self-serve dog wash to give my pups a bath. Which is much more of a production than you might think - she’s humongous and profusely hairy, so it takes a minimum of 2.5 hours to get her clean. But…

He takes the ugliness to a new, previously unimaginable level. To think that I used to feel humiliated travelling abroad under W - now those are the halcyon days.

The cost does suck, and there are still plenty of conservative assholes here in CA - but I still wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the US. At least we’re protected from the worst of it here, and if shit really goes down, we have better escape routes and more allies. Not to mention the weather! Enjoying beautiful…

Ha! I’m going to continue imagining it that way then - understandably, you didn’t interrogate your grandpa’s choices in adult reading, but it’s nice he kept up! Born in 1908, he’d have been somewhat elderly (by those times) even when it first came appeared in print.

It’s certainly another unmistakable symptom of his mental illnesses - I think it ties into his obsession with ‘purity’, somewhat similar to Stassa’s article on pain and suffering.

I really do not see how the US stays intact any more, either. How could we ever “come together” again? I just hope against reason that we can somehow break apart peacefully. Conservatives constantly bitch about NY and especially CA as not having “real American values” - fine, let us go! Good riddance to being weighed…

Aw, that’s too good!! That’s actually really cool that they had a Braille edition - although its impossible not to picture it as 3D map-like moldings of boobies ;)

But we all just have to remember now, he understands the tax codes better than just about anybody. Surely, he wouldn’t have said so if it wasn’t true!

Yet another spewing so breathtakingly idiotic and incomprehensible that attempting to explicate it may cause permanent brain damage.

The funny thing is that Playboy has actually featured some exceptionally good journalism over the years - it truly has been worth subscribing to for the articles, no joke.

I worked at Barnes & Noble in high school - all expired editions of Playgirl, Playboy, High Times, Groove, NME, etc made their way to me in short order.

Yea - it’s not so much that I think cock and balls out is a Bad look, necessarily, it just only interests me in a kinda clinical, objective, non-sexy way. They can look so vulnerable just hanging out there. And it’s always interesting to scrutinize the varieties of angles to the dangles, size, proportion, color, ball…

Ah, Rob, what a pretty airhead. Presumably he knows that there have been wood ape sightings in his own Santa Barbara backyard mountains; hopefully he remains ever vigilant.

I wonder about the specifics of what happened here.

I should have scrolled down before I just asked the same question.. really wish more people knew about this kind of context
