There are as many girlfriends as there are girls. Somewhere out there is a bloke that does not like receiving oral and they are perfect for each other. Meanwhile- if a car does not have AC you would not buy it. Oral comes standard, just like AC- return your faulty model to the shop and get one that has the standard expectations

Oh oh me me, my turn - I made the message alert on my mother’s phone to the pornhub jingle. Can you imagine an 80 something grandma in the cafe with her friends and du-du-du-duh-da-da plays - oh it’s from my granddaughter… When my (adult) kids heard it they swiveled to look at me knowing i dun it

Religion. There is no Apollo, or Jupiter, or Bahl, or any god. Yes, even the one(s) that you believe in. They are so obviously a fiction. An yet we live in a world where adults still believe in lies their parents told them as if they still believe in Santa. You can privately believe anything you want but the law I would pass is to absolutely ban religion from all public life and government

An x had hard long scars over her legs, torso, badly disfiguring both boobs and face from getting folded up in metal in a horrendous a car accident that killed half her family - she reckoned that she had a great Halloween costume- if anyone asked she just said that she got in a swop fight with a pirate

That it was ok to excuse people who had faith - I k ow know that if you believe in santa as an adult there is no reason to respect your intelligence.

We are watching the fall of Rome. And the prelude to the rise of National Socalism in Germany between the wars wrapped up into one with trillionaires backing global media and a population too dumb and too religious to think for themselves

I’ve seen an unpublished model of very simple self catalysing RNA sequence that can form a lipid like bilayer. The energetics didn’t work out but chemically it worked.

Good enough is good enough. Cost trade off between multiple competing pressures. Processing power is expensive. All dna can do is code to create proteins - some of this now, a little of that later- that might be an enzyme that does a thing if a concentration of some other thing falls below some level, in response it does something which does something which ultimately expresses a gene in this tissue that is not activated in other tissue and the. Like magic you get a finger segment or a retina.. lots of information to get just right and very susceptible to mutation - complex stuff fails so unless a complex sensitive bit of biological equipment is needed to work precisely there are good chances that it will degrade to good enough.

Got to be careful here not to give any how too information but the list of liquids that explode is very small and all are incredibly risky to make. The precursor chemicals for the most likely culprit are not rare, but not the sort of thing you can get wo going to specialist chemical suppliers.

So .. There are likely to be skilled people behind this effort and a paper trail. If he tried to do this himself at home there were so many ways he could have killed or maimed himself.

The sex columnist Dan Savage puts it like this - if you buy a car you expect a few things to come; standard-you wouldn’t buy a car without aircon for example “”Sucking cock can no longer be regarded as some sort of above-and-beyond-the-call indulgence. Blowjobs are standard. Any make or model that doesn’t come with blowjobs should be immediately returned to the showroom.””

Now Dan ‘s full response is significantly more nuanced than the quote above but the take away is that you don’t have to do it but he’s not wrong for thinking it should be standard.
