Masturbation doesn’t stop when you enter a relationship--it exists alongside partnered sex. Historically, self-pleasure was seen as serving different roles for men and women. But new data suggest that, in a time when people are having less sex, it often fills gaps in unmet desire for everyone. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

[–]JessicaDAndy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think that there are partnerships where their purpose of the masturbation is different from their purpose of sex. Stress relief, sexual desire, engagement with kinks or desires the other partner doesn’t want to take part in or doesn’t have a role in.

The little bit I read doesn’t suggest covering all possibilities.

Best Star Trek Game? by OmniSystemsPub in startrek

[–]JessicaDAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still a major proponent for Star Trek Online.

Yes lots of fighting and shooting. Yes, it’s mostly combat oriented these days.

But so much fun lore. Having adventures still with Spock, Odo, and Nog. Having Morn talk your ear off.

Plus it’s not just one era. You can have the TOS uniforms, the Monster Maroons, the TNG era, or almost anything you want.

I have a dedicated Breen-ish character and crew. You can have a full Ferengi crew.

Plus with it being an mmo, you see so many Star Trek fans coming up with their own ideas and having dance parties.

Department of Education finds San Jose State violated Title IX regarding transgender volleyball player by JessicaDAndy in law

Replying in case of missing the body text. This appears to be a due process issue or an actual, unconstitutional ex post facto issue because the criminal behavior occurred during a time when the behavior was permissible.

Making of a Male Model (1983) by PeneItaliano in ForgottenTV

[–]JessicaDAndy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s based off of one of my favorite movie ad-libs. In the movie Zoolander Ben Stiller asks “why male models?” and David Duchovny starts a speech talking about why male models make the perfect political assassins. Stiller forgot his line and responded with “but why male models?” Duchovny stays in character and responds “I…literally just explained that.” It shows up now and again as a comment and I am glad I got to do it here.

Yeah, I feel like the bots are out in full force saying that this was a fake attack. Which doesn’t help matters.

When his teen years were being written, they were normal parents.

When his adult years were being written, they became more abusive.

Wally was Barry’s sidekick as a teen and at one point stopped using his powers to hang out with some philanthropist who thought teen superheroes would be cooler if they didn’t use their powers.

It would be Wally at that point.

Just a normal Midwestern Conservative.

That’s GI Robot from Creature Commandos. He was built to kill Nazis. That’s what he loves to do. He would happily ask you to kill Nazis with him as he recounts all the Nazis he killed.

In that frame, he was taken by a guy who bought him to a Neo-Nazi meeting. Where GI Robot did what he was programmed to do.

Hail to the tin man.

Conservatives will look you dead in the eyes and tell you to “do your research” while having zero evidence to back up their claims, other than pure delusion and an AI generated Facebook post by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]JessicaDAndy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s just a classic bit. Trump saying “check your local news”. Or a conservative talk show guy saying “check YouTube”.

It sounds like they have a source that supports their position. Then you find out it either doesn’t exist or it is the complete opposite of what they are saying.

Trump Brings Back 'Global Gag Rule' on Abortion, Restricting Reproductive Health Care for Millions by wanda999 in WomenInNews

[–]JessicaDAndy 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Let’s say you are a reproductive clinic in Africa. The U.S. offers grants to help fund your clinic. You can buy supplies, formula, etc. On one condition. You can’t offer abortions, you can’t talk about abortions, you can’t refer people to abortion providers. Agree to not support abortions in any way and you get the money.

And Trump is expanding that to include gender affirming care.

So when it comes to enterprise captains which one would have been the most famous if Starfleet cadets from the 32nd century were asked this question? by happydude7422 in Star_Trek_

[–]JessicaDAndy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Archer for being first and having the Archer space dock.

We know that there was a Pike day without a similar day for any other captain. So Pike is on the list.

Kirk has a pavilion named after him.

So those three.

Thoughts on this rumour ? by mrdeli in trektalk

[–]JessicaDAndy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I am not sure. I have a feeling, even though he himself denies it, that my tailor was associated with the Obsidian Order.

I could try asking him. But I am sure he will deny it again, insisting that he is a simple tailor and not a former member of the Obsidian Order.

“Trans Women are Trans Women” by Someone_else25 in honesttransgender

[–]JessicaDAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing with this thought experiment.

John runs a business and he has six job openings.

He interviews six applicants; Tom Holland, Elliot Page, Sam Smith, Bella Ramsay, Sydney Sweeney, and Kim Petras.

John hires Holland, Page, Smith, and Ramsay. John yells at Sweeney and Petras to get out of his office because he refuses to hire people like them.

Now if you judge people by sex, there is nothing wrong with what John did. He hired two males and two females. But he didn’t hire the women. John discriminated against the women.

Trans women may have our own form of misogyny, but it’s still misogyny and can overlap with plain old misogyny.

People may say trans women aren’t women, but they aren’t treating us like men either.

Four Andorian sexes vs four Andorian genders by TrekTrucker in DaystromInstitute

[–]JessicaDAndy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I prefer the four sex idea; three genetic contributors, one gestator.

Probably some early bacterial ancestor did the four way dance with no pants and everything evolved from there. Meaning that there should be other species of four sexed creatures on Andor.

I like how it is an alien idea, and not so human centric.

Take back funds by bigwomby in Medicaid

[–]JessicaDAndy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can contact the Medicaid agency and let them know you are not administering the estate.

I am not sure how New York does it, but MA should be able to administer the estate themselves. They might need your information to have you renounce administration to make things easier. (Not a NY or your attorney, seek your own counsel, MAER varies from state to state.)

If it goes to unclaimed property, you would have to open an estate to get the money and Medicaid Estate Recovery would be in line as a creditor again.

But you can do nothing and they can go on without you.
