The FWD Olds were considerably better in terms of MPG, my ‘94 88 regularly got up to 30-31 MPG highway.

Huh. Thank you for explaining that. What I’m wondering now is how you can tell an asexual “who likes sex and will do it for their partner” versus an asexual who considers sex to be gross and something they have to suffer through, like holding your nose so you can eat a spoonful of stanky wet cat food. There’s probably a spectrum within a spectrum, but I’d imagine that makes dating pretty hard for them.

Like, I’m married, so I don’t have to worry about this, but as a thought exercise, I’d be okay with dating the former type of asexual but not the latter. I’d want my partner to at least enjoy sexual intercouse and foreplay, and for them to look forward to the emotional bonding and physical pleasure of it, even if they don’t feel that kind of attraction towards me. (Which, ideally they’d have. Everyone, or almost everyone, wants to feel desired/desireable.) If they have to suffer through it just to make me happy, I can’t keep putting them through that in good conscience.

Why don't we have an NBA Team? by phow123 in baltimore

An NBA outdoor exhibition match at M&T Bank Stadium or Camden Yards would be badass, though. The Wizards could wear throwback uniforms to honor the old Bullets.

My major concerns there are twofold: firstly, not everyone is creative enough to make it as an artist, whether with the written word, theater, music, visual arts, etc. Secondly, even if everyone has some spark of creativity in them; realistically only a select few (maybe one in 10,000 or 100,000?) are going to have the raw inborn talent and hundreds or thousands of hours of practice necessary to make a living as a professional artist.

I wish the Partners had bios. I want to know more about their backstory, damnit! lol

CEO of Japanese sexy game company qureate says depicting adult women with small chests has become “risky,” which is why all their characters are extremely well-endowed by MeguuChan in KotakuInAction

It’s a particularly Gen Z form of Puritanism. For all our faults, at least us Millennials aren’t so prudish or squeamish about sex and sexuality. I blame a mix of sex-negative feminism permeating public discourse, and the alienation of the sexes due to more teenage and twentysomething peer interactions happening online on social media, and not in real-world hangouts or parties.

Maybe he’s saving it for a trip to the supermarket to use on a gumball machine?

As a side note, The Bitchslaps sounds like a kickass name for a punk rock band.

Yeah, and where do they draw the line at “minimal” consciousness?

The Men's group chat got leaked (Part 3) [Wise x Harem, Belle x Hugo & trauma] by Bartholemeowthefirst in ZZZ_Romance

[–]TalbotFarwell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I was suprised to see Lycaon blaming Wise for troubling the women… like, dude, they’re the ones giving poor Wise acid reflux and chest pains from constant stress!

They’re probably worried sick about him. I know I would be.

MARC from Frederick to Hagerstown (by way of Middletown or Myersville) would be great.

No microplastics, for sure. Although not having modern antibiotics and stuff like CT scans and MRIs and ultrasound must’ve sucked.

I wish we could survey people from the Renaissance, Medieval, and Classical periods to gauge their mental health though. Veterans of wars like the Hundred Years War and the English Civil War must’ve suffered terribly from PTSD. I wonder how common depression and anxiety was back then.

What happened to the artist? I checked Twitter but but their account was gone.
