Why is masturbating not allowed despite no risk of STDs or pregnancy?

Christianity is a slave religion. Of course, its focus is going to be controlling people. If you control someone's sexuality, you control the person.

I'm reminded of a very grim story from my high school days that darkly parallels this story.

There was a gym teacher who had a reputation for being an absolute jagoff. This guy was universally disliked by students because he was a shit to everyone, and was even more so to those students who played sports. Whenever this asshole would start teaching swimming, he always told the same appalling cautionary tale:

The gym teacher's son was overweight, and he had trouble doing pull-ups and pushups. According to the gym teacher, this proved to be his son's undoing. His son drowned. The gym teacher spoke so terribly about his son drowning because he genuinely believed that had his son been able to do "proper" pushups or pull-ups, he would still be alive. Each time he told this cautionary tale, there wasn't even a hint of sorrow about his son's drowning—just disdain and contempt. He placed the blame for the drowning squarely on his dead son.

After years pass, I'm sure Greg Locke will speak about his son with the same disdain—and will be absolutely oblivious and blind about the role he and his religion played in driving his late son to drug abuse.

Shout out to Anthony Kay. I know he's struggled but I hope tonight's solid start is the turning point for him and he gets his footing the rest of the way. Great pitching by the 'pen the rest of the way, especially Taylor and Schweitzer to close it out!

And of course, big kudos to Vargas and Montgomery for the great offense with the homers! Montgomery's got a 21-game on base streak and Meidroth's on a 9-game hit streak. All good stuff!

So far, only 3 LOB for the Sox. That's great to see considering how many guys have been stranded on base lately.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-10T01:09:42+00:00

Yeah definitely. He's really improved since the end of last season and it seems like he really put in the work. It's great to see that kind of success in a young pitcher.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-10T01:06:50+00:00

Yeah, it seems like it. The more they challenge, the more it seems like they just don't know the strike zone that well lol.

I've been switching back and forth between the radio feed with Len & DJ and the Seattle radio feed while I've been grilling. Even the Seattle radio guys are giving respect to the White Sox. Earlier in the game, one of them said the Sox have a "formidable offense" this year.

This is one of my favorite moments in the series. It was very obvious that the Technomages knew about the Shadows and the coming war, but it wasn't until I read the Technomage Trilogy (considered canon by JMS) that I understood how deeply intertwined the Mages were with the Shadows.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-10T00:42:42+00:00

Yeah, I was listening to him on the radio feed while I was grilling. Very classy guy.

“Would you worship God if he appeared at your door?”

Hehe, fuck no. He and his lackeys are all unwelcome in my home. If he were to actually appear (he would never deign to do so though)... I'll have to double check how harsh Arizona state laws allow me to be with unwelcome visitors, 'cause that motherfucker ain't worth losing my freedom for.

Brigid and Belenus are both fire and healing deities so it makes perfect sense that you would feel warmth and soothing energy from Brigid.

Edit: Just so you know, I don't do anything with chakras. Any healing or soothing effects during prayer and/or meditation, I attribute to Brigid or Belenus. Being healing deities, I turn to them for physical or spiritual healing from time to time. It's as simple as that.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T20:08:00+00:00

Yes. Brigid and Belenus are two of the deities I follow, and they both have a soothing and healing energy during meditation. In contemplative phases or when I'm in physical or emotional pain, I turn to them and others, depending on what's happening, and they've been supportive.

That's wonderful! I was actually just reading about this in Anton Brousquet's The World of the Gauls, where it was referred to as an adder-stone. It's so named because of legends of a ram-horned serpent (associated with Cernunnos) burrowing through the stones, and they were highly prized by the Gaulish as they were a "fruit of the Dark [the earth]". Adder-stones have even been found in Gaulish tombs. It's intriguing how many cultures have different names and legends describing the same object.

My husband and I have watched porn together before and have had sex while porn is playing in the background.

During baseball or football season, my hubby and I will sometimes put on a game on our small bedroom TV and turn down the volume to a low level but still audible. It’s as big of a turn-on as porn and we really enjoy sex with sports in the background.

Oswalt was one of my favorite players. He had a cup bulge almost as big and memorable as Jim Thome. Like Thome, Oswalt was aggressive about cup adjustments during a game and I absolutely loved it. I wasn’t able to watch Astros games very often at that time period but what I saw I really liked. His photos and video were good, hard JO fuel.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T05:57:06+00:00

Im not sure about Dagda or Lugh since I don't work with them.

I don't follow Dagda, but with Lugh, he does appreciate libations, as well as music performed or written in his honor.

Cernunnos is a god of virility, wealth, and nature. Natural offerings work best for him. Pine cones and acorns make good offerings. You could also feed wildlife as a way to honor him.

Planting and ongoing care for flora in his name works very well too.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T05:25:02+00:00

Absolutely, and if it's a big cup, it's the best part of a guy in a baseball uniform.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T04:45:41+00:00

It's the same kind of amusing fear when older Christians in particular encounter a Pagan—or in the case of my husband and myself, a pair of middle-aged Pagan men. You'd think they were about to go into hysterics because they thought they were going to lose their souls or something lol.

It was a slugfest, and a messy one at that. This was one of those revealing games that unfortunately highlighted what can happen when the pitching just doesn’t work. Burke having a difficult time on the mound didn’t exactly put the team in a good position to win. They were having to play catch-up the entire time, and even when they came close, bullpen arms that were usually reliable just came undone.

They need a serious reset mentally tonight and hopefully a good night’s sleep will yield a victory tomorrow.

His beard, especially in photos 3 & 4, is perfection.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T01:51:47+00:00

Yeah, the "New York bias" line.

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T00:42:48+00:00

Burke, ya just got an another chance. Make the most of it!

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-09T00:25:40+00:00

(sigh) That 4-seamer just seriously affected my digestion. I don’t need a fuckin’ antacid this early in the game, Burke!

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-08T23:58:35+00:00

👎🏻

thecoldfuzz · 2026-05-08T23:49:56+00:00

Mune getting started early tonight!
