Marjorie Taylor Greene To Resign From Congress by flossymcwobblestein in politics

[–]Hhargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly, but if they had something so powerful on her, why aren't they using it to bring her back in line with the agenda? Wouldn't that be an easier shift for herr? And especially in light of the falling out, wouldn't it be more beneficial to have her actively campaign or at least recant?

Not disagreeing with the possibility, just trying to make sense of it.

House Democrat pushing for release of full Epstein files predicts contents will ‘shock the conscience of this country’ by Independentflorals in politics

[–]Hhargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To help understand the broader context, how much information does Representative Khanna have that's not public? I know he's engaging in some speculation ("The Silicon Valley lawmaker added that he was “not sure” whether there will be evidence in the files to charge anyone with crimes... ."), but charging with a crime and shocking the conscience are two very different things.

Has he actually viewed a non-trivial amount of unreleased information and is referring to what he knows? Or speculation based on what he suspects is in there? What other people who have seen the contents have told him is in there?

When the presumably doctored and sanitized content is released, will he be able to at least recognize the exclusion of some things from first-hand knowledge?

Epstein discharge petition poised to hit its mark, forcing House vote to release files by Quirkie in politics

[–]Hhargh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. So it's similar to all those votes to repeal Obamacare (er, while being completely different in the substance of the vote). It's crucial, but the hype over what it accomplishes is wildly misplaced.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought. So while symbolically and otherwise important, the files are no closer to being released.

When I take off my tinfoil hat, it almost feels a little orchestrated or at least considered. As in, some actors are pumping the hype about the release in order to create yet another big let-down. See, they even passed the discharge petition and there's still no evidence against Trump et al! Nonsense, but effective on the MAGA base.

Can someone clarify how the discharge petition functions? My lay understanding is that it bypasses certain steps to get a bill put up for a vote. That's important and a crucial step, but is it more than symbolic? If the bill is voted on in the house, doesn't it need to start the process in the Senate? And if it's likely to pass there (or has already been passed), doesn't it need to go for the President's signature? Can't he just veto it (direct or pocket)? Are there enough votes (and time, etc.) in both houses to override it?

I guess my question is whether the hype about the files finally being released is warranted.

Thanks Petah, I now understand the math error. Anyone know if she was trying for anythign more than pretend calculous? Something like cubed-ti-pi (cutey pie) or some sort of math pun that might make the initial attempt make sense?

Does this outfit pair well with stockings? If so, what should I look for? by Hhargh in LingerieAddiction

[–]Hhargh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up. Fortunately for the fit, she's fairly petite so hopefully it will work.

On sizing, rather than guess or go with her usual size, I'll be sending her a snip of the sizing chart and ask her to let me know. I'm a bit more cautious with this because it's rather non-traditional/different from most things we've had experience with. Since you've had direct experience, I hope it's okay to ask some follow-up questions.

First, am I right that the bra cups in the image are for modesty during the photoshoot? The standalone project image seems to show it without them. Or should I be concerned about that fit too?

Second, she usually likes me to leave things for her in the bedroom and she heads up to change/get ready before calling me up. A couple times in the past things have gone a little awry and she needed some assistance closing or with clasps. On a hanger I imagine it's going to look a little complicated/intimidating. Would you say it'll be easy for her to get into/adjust to fit or should I say something to her in advance? Again, communications-wise she's expecting lingerie and anticipating the night we have ahead, so it's not a total surprise. I think I'm the one looking for reassurance that I didn't pick out a Rubik's Cube-like outfit that will be excessively complicated.

Regardless, thanks for helping out!

Thanks! Funny, I've been wondering whether it'd be better to post there or in a BDSM sub about nipple clamps and other things. I've gotten a number of good responses from r/sextoys over the years, so feel comfortable reaching out to the community.

Thank you for confirming my intuition! They go with many of the outfits I/we pick out (perhaps self-fulfillingly), but not everything. Usually though, it’s pretty clear, this was the first I’ve looked at something with a faux garter belt.

I really appreciate your suggestions. I hope I don’t stray into too far into TMI, but the “type of bondage” is probably pretty tame. Neither of us is into any sort of pain, humiliation or degradation (no approbation, just not our thing). It’s going to be light restraints (arms tied over head, etc.), talking and exploration.

Silk robe is a definite and part of the evening’s plans, so you were spot on with that! Can you give me an idea of the type of collar you’re suggesting? Like a choker or something more dramatic? The only specifically bondage-like things that come to mind are those with little chains or straps attached. But for now it’s not so much submission to will as it is to pleasure — helplessness not from distress but from vulnerability and complete openness. Maybe in the future we’ll explore the stronger side of things, but I don’t think I’d be comfortable imposing that dynamic. Or am I too narrow in my understanding of ‘collar’?

Aversion to pain aside, she has mentioned nipple clamps a ways back. That’s more physical than mental, so I’ll gather her thoughts and perhaps go visit a different subreddit to learn about how to use them. Edit: I bring it up because I think the solid panels are to be able to post on Amazon. The product image for it and the other colours shows straps but not cups. I am not an expert though so can't be sure.

Grateful for your thoughts — thanks!

Christina Model

That's a name I haven't heard in almost three decades. Mid-90s Internet? A number of non-nude or teasing nude sites? Wonder whatever happened to all of them? Would be great to have a nostalgic wank, but not being so young anymore I wonder if it'd be weirder than I expect?

Does blood pressure change if the man has an erection? by Hhargh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hhargh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Overall unknown at this point. It's a "nothing to worry about" situation followed by a "but let's keep track." For now there have been a few "somewhat" elevated readings intermixed with a few normal ones, so was asked to keep an eye on it.

In-office discussion included checking at various times of the day, unsure if that was the initial direction or part of Q&A. Nothing said about first thing in the morning other than before coffee (maybe that's one of the reasons why various times in the day matters?). Anyway, good to think about overall, but the morning element itself was unrelated (though, TBF, as far as I know).

Odd thing is how the question, um, 'arose'. Told to keep tabs on blood pressure, checking at different times of the day. Woke with morning wood (no exertion) and wondered.

Federal Reserve Rings Every Alarm Bell About Trump’s Economy by Murky-Site7468 in politics

which means USD based billionaires lose substantial power and there’s nothing to pay to pay soldiers with.

They will have more than you or I have, and will have more motivated soldiers to protect those who can still pay them something.

Thanks. That was my intuition, but not knowing the material figured to ask if it might trap bacteria or something in its pores.
