    How much income is enough?

    Really impossible question to answer because people cant agree on what standard of living is required, and legitimate costs of living vary widely depending on region. Waste your money buying new or 1-2 year old cars? Youre gonna need more. Want to spend college tuition level money sending your...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It is true. I do enjoy a bit of genital stimulation with my sex. I guess I'm not normal :(

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No, youre dodging the questions here. Of course its natural to explore and try new things. Its common for example for people to try different positions (which stimulate the genitals) or to bring in toys (which stimulate the genitals) or to watch porn featuring depictions of other people...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If there is a study in NEJoM about peeing in butts I am quitting science tomorrow and probably moving to a cabin in the woods. I typed that sentence and then realized, its probably more or less like rule 34. If there is a deviant sexual practice, there is a study somewhere about it. So I guess...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    LMFAO "natural progression of kink". If the words normal or natural are to mean anything, they most certainly do not include peeing in someones butt. There is a lot of space in between "normal" and "this makes you a bad person". Its not a dichotomy. Things can be not normal and still not...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I know the convention on this forum is to claim (a) we all love the most depraved sexual shit we've ever heard of and (b) our supermodel nymphomaniac wives love it too. And I know the convention is to wave off weird sexual shit we're not into personally with "oh, thats fine, we're all into some...

    EverQuest starting stats for real life races

    Right, but that seems like an incomplete description. For example black women and chinese women would both get severe CHA penalties but for completely different reasons. I think to adequately describe differences among RL human races theres no way to avoid having odor as its own stat.

    EverQuest starting stats for real life races

    Point of clarification. How should we factor in the bad odor of the smellier races? A CHA penalty or do we need a new stat?

    Travelers

    Finished last night. Really liked this one. Not sure yet what to think about the the identity/nature of the director but otherwise, great time travel show. Continuum, this is how you make a time travel show interesting and watchable.

    Passengers (2016)

    This is a good point, and it explains a lot about whats happened to our country since we started letting women vote.

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    There were about 15 minutes of awesome scattered throughout the entire season. This was nowhere near as good as the awesome JJ, but far better than the unwatchable Daredevil. My reaction to almost every character in this show was "who is this person, and why do I care?" The explanation for the...

    There are lots of very good reasons for natural childbirth. Youre experiencing one of them now, 36+ hours labors. Epidurals slow labor, so they give pitocin, which makes the next contractions more painful, so they give more painkillers. Its an endless cycle of unnecessary interventions that make...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    What in the actual fuck. You take out a thousand fucking dollars and walk around carrying hundreds and 50s? On a regular basis? Youre trolling. Dont be ridiculous. No one does this. Profit is when the merchant takes something that cost him $1 and charges me $2 for it. There is no merchant on...

    I have been so tempted to do this. For me, its not the time, its the money. She cannot stay on a weekly food budget to save her life. I cant understand this. I can do a weeks shopping in under an hour and easily stay in the weekly budget ($150). For some reason she consistently blows through the...

    That escalated fast. Also LOL if you are sincerely implying the consumer is somehow to blame for banks fuckery. No, I'm not carrying cash. This isnt a third world country its fuckin America. I'm gonna swipe my card for a 42 cent purchase and youre gonna like it. Cash, LOL. Whats next, shall we...

    WTF, I can only assume someone who wears a phone clipped to their belt and actually goes out that way in public is also wearing socks with sandals, a fanny pack, a T shirt with 3 wolves howling at the moon, and one of those baseball caps with two cans of beer and a twisty straw. Pockets. Keys...

    I have literally never met a straight man in my life who said this. Who doesnt want a face full of pussy? Which is why the hesitation from straight women to go down is so puzzling.

    Suuuure. I swear to fuck, wives consider this a badge of honor. Like I genuinely think they get together and brag to each other about it.

    Getting a fake tree for Christmas is like eating a turkey sub from Subway for Thanksgiving. Or like the whole idea of fake bacon, anytime. Why bother? Just do something else instead of a bad imitation. Then again my tree costs about $10 and I buy it from the Christmas tree farm thats literally...

    I'd amend that to "human languages" are jimmy rustling in their nature. Computer languages make so much more sense. Fuck accents and emphasis. Fuck 4 "different sounds" for the letter U that all sound exactly the same, and youre lying if you pretend to be able to tell the difference. Fuck...

    Following up on an interesting tangent we had for a moment in Politics. As parents of little girls, is there anything we can do to help them learn to think and act rationally unlike 100% of the adult women on the planet currently? Its a lifelong mission for me but my girls are still young, so...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    I'm convinced this is the secret to Marvels success. Theyve only been able to work with mid tier heroes, because all their fan favorite heroes (xmen, spiderman) are locked up in other licensing shit (and I know nothing about any of the details but clealry there is some kind of licensing shit...

    What makes your skin crawl?

    People always talk about nails on a chalkboard. For me, its the sound mixing they use on every talk radio show ever, that turns people with even slightly deep voices into this unlistenable grating drone. This sound that makes the fillings in your teeth vibrate. Its enraging and disturbing on...

    OK I've got two new ones, both happened in a single day. This student schedules an appointment to meet with me to discuss her recent test. During the meeting, while I am literally in mid sentence, she pulls out her phone and starts texting. Not even like a quick text "just a min", she just sits...

    High IQ, making friends and influencing people.

    Generally in these discussions two fundamentally different concepts get confused: the ability to interact socially, and the desire to interact socially. Its important to make this distinction.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Problem with this idea is it only buys you a couple thousand years before that deep ocean water returns to the surface and dumps the CO2 right back where it came from. Carbon sequestration has to involve stable, non-volatile substances. Organic carbon pumped into the deep sea eventually returns...

    Black Mirror

    Love the show. Found S301 unwatchable because its not sci fi, its literally exactly reality in the present day. 10 minutes in I was painfully bored. It would have been a great episode 3-5 years ago. Now its like making a sci fi show about how strange life will be once we all have horseless...

    Putting money into NASA is no guarantee theyll put us on Mars. But you can count on this -- if we dont put money into NASA NASA wont get to Mars. Still 1000X better use of money than what its being put to currently.

    The smell of pet owners houses. "Thanks for inviting me over, what a lovely house you have! It smells like the inside of a dogs asshole but lovely home!" People who wear so much perfume/man-perfume you can smell it when youre not making out with them. Nothings skeevier than smelling another...

    Your post leaves out a fairly important concept: decisions. You're probably right about the future of our species, but its important to recognize that its not inevitable. IF we spent 5-10% of the amount we currently spend on entitlements + defense instead on space travel, our future would be...

    Its odd that trex is getting so much disagreement in this thread. What she is saying here is absolutely correct -- for anyone with more than one kid, where the wife makes less than six figures, it very very rarely makes financial sense for the wife to work. Trex is correct in pointing out that...
