I do hate the double standard that it’s totally fine for men to joke and talk about sex, but when a woman does it, she must be dirty in some way. I get that biologically, women have had to be more choosy with partners because for a long time, the best protection was zero insertion, or the chances of ending up with a child you didn’t want were nonzero. Things are different now. We have the pill. We have emergency contraceptives. Some of us even have access to abortions.

Sex isn’t dirty. It’s normal and natural to want it. It’s normal to have a hard time getting it. It’s normal to be frustrated by the dating field and navigating relationships. It’s normal to feel incredibly rewarded when you do get it. And it’s normal to want to blow off steam by talking to people closest to you about your successes and failures in life. And a big part of being human is one’s own sexual exploits.

One of my closest friends is a woman about 13 years older than me (I’m 33; she’s 46), and she’s going through menopause right now. And she’ll start talking about the difficulty it’s bringing her, and she’ll tell me, “You don’t wanna hear about all this,” or, “I know you don’t care about this.” And the truth is that I do not nor could I ever understand what she’s going through, but as a friend, I can listen to her complain about it and give her the space to vent. Even if I’ll never get it, I can just be a voice in the room to pull out some great hits like:

• “Jeeeesus, I’m so sorry,”
• “Yikes, that sucks,” or
• "Haha, Fuck. That."

As a man, I don’t always have follow up questions or advice to offer someone going through issues unique to women. But people aren’t always looking for advice. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have the space to blow off steam with a safe person.

And that’s not dirty. It’s something we all do.

I’m so happy we moved away from this and toward three basic questions:

• Where do you want it?
• How hot do you want it?
• How hard do you want it?

What some call “compression artifacts,” I call “extra crunchy.”

But don’t ask me what it stands for. :P

Could also be a ctardiologist. But I’m no expert at inserting T as the second letter of the titles of medical professionals.

Can’t wait to see where he’ll be hiding next time shit hits the fan. I reckon it’ll be under the Resolute Desk. Fuck this redneck asshole with a long, dry, splintery pole. I’ve voted against this wad every time I could, but I’m heavily outnumbered here.

Go ahead and call the mechanic to schedule that transmission fluid change. Don’t let him rip you off with a flush, though. All you need is a drain and fill.

Thanks Google.

I should probably just install Lineage already.

This would rock as a cross stitch pattern.

I agree with some of Chris’s viewpoints. Materialism is stupid. Buying shit for the sake of acquiring shit is stupid. Not that you should never have anything sentimental, but those kinds of things are tied to people or events.

But yeah, guy kinda lost me when he decided to camp in the Alaskan bush with no survival skills, no experience dressing a carcass, no foraging skills, and very little equipment. As others pointed out, he went there to die, then changed his mind when it was too late. A rational, non-suicidal person would have spent months preparing for this outing.

Basically everyone who jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge and lived (only ~2% of jumpers) regretted doing it before they hit the water. Chris jumped from the bridge and changed his mind halfway down. Going to Alaska wasn’t some brave choice to be free. You can do that anywhere in the Lower 48. It was a cry for help masked as a revolutionary idea.

My wife thinks I’m the smartest man she has ever known. Meanwhile, I’m slapping my own head going, “This baby can fit so many Wikipedia articles in it.”

Those things on top of my head say the same because they’re all hairetics.

Intraosseous insemination

If engine size is inversely proportionate to penis length, what does that say about cyclists?

Talk about cocky.

I really liked Ubuntu, too. It was the distro that got me into Linux in 2012. I don’t feel bad having switched to Debian Stable, though. I love my Debian.

Duck be on the ark tonight?

But hey, anal juice is also pretty good.

Aw man, I loved their last album. I never realized they released another. I was listening to The Scholars by Car Seat Headrest for a good portion of last year.
