A Phlaming Phoenix

It’s gonna be a hot fucking summer.

You forgot “Woohoo” by Blur

The character Pie’o’pah from Clive Barker’s Imajica has a sort of “third” genitalia which can both penetrate and be penetrated. Through the story, the main character is kind of magically seduced by this, initially revolted, but it becomes a point of personal growth which helps unlock his true potential. It’s a really cool and weird (and long) story with some pretty ahead-of-its time pontification on trans and non-binary identities.

Look around to see if I can rummage up the necessary implements to brew a pot of tea.

women are so obviously not sure about the situation but they are not done with my partner

For real, get high and go to a glow in the dark mini golf course. There’s one in every failing mall in the USA.

And you gotta dump your potential explosives out right in the middle of everyone else bundled up close in the security checkpoint.

Here’s what I’m talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox#Comparison

The XBox One came out in 2013, but then starting in 2016, they started releasing a series of other XBoxes with incremental upgrades. The “One S” and “One X” within a year of each other, then the “Series S” and “Series X” in 2020. It looks like the CPU and GPU get upgraded along the way, but none of them is nearly as powerful as the PC I’ve had through that time period, nor as capable considering I can do more than play games on it.

Didn’t they release several different versions of the Xbox in that time? Like technically the same “generation” or whatever but upgrading a few minor things like storage and such?

What if my $1500 PC built 5 years ago has been more capable than multiple generations of consoles that have been released since? My brother has bought like 3 XBoxes in the same amount of time and my PC still outpaces it by a pretty wide margin.

Sure, but the Christian/MAGA view of morality is a shit one that I don’t subscribe to. They can fuck off with their moralizing of my decisions.

I think ethical nonmonogamy casts a wider net. I wouldn’t call myself a swinger. I don’t do parties or anything like that. But I’m still not monogamous and it’s still not cheating since my partner and I have an existing arrangement and regular check-ins.

Right. Some people handle this well, others are not open to it. Willingness to adhere to monogamy is a thing that varies from person to person and must be discussed in any relationship. Ethical nonmonogamy is a thing, but it’s not for everyone, and it is a lot of communication and intimate work.

It’s ironic (I hope). He was an awful president. Until Trump, he was sort of the model of the dumbest a president could get.

Archaic? I think we use this word in modern English, as in, “to cop a feel.”

I don’t think that’s true? The song is all power chords. Verse goes C5/F5/C5/A5 and the chorus is just C5/A5. So the verse doesn’t end on the same chord the chorus starts on (C5 vs A5), and the verse doesn’t start on the same chord the chorus ends on (A5 vs C5). It would be true to say the chorus and verse start and end on the same chords.

I am from the US and joints that I roll have both a wick where the paper rolls up at the end to hold the leaf in and a crutch at the back to hold onto with your fingers. When you buy a preroll at a dispensary, they look like this as well. Where are you that these basic convenience features of pot smoking have not managed to come your way? I’ve been rolling joints like this since the 90s.

Yes, it’s invalidation of feelings followed by the infliction of physical violence to make the abuser feel better.

Get him into a north/south position

Me too, until I see the perspective on the window, then my brain gets confused.
