I hate scratchy bristle. Waxed or close shave is my favorite but grown out enough to be soft to trimmed is good too.

The Texas Attack Revived the Free Speech Debate. Europe Has Limits. [nytimes.com]

Buttercup comments on Aug 7, 2019:

I think the threat to free speech is much greater than the threat of free speech, shouts of fake news and the Kashoggi murder make me think the defense of the first amendment is even more important. Libel and threats to safety are well established limits and I think beyond that freedom should be the default.

I've been wondering lately, does anyone know what their first kink was?

Buttercup comments on Aug 1, 2019:

Rescuing the princess or me Tarzan/ you Jane( or John and Dejah, which was so me even if the reference is less iconic) seems to have the in their roots in some D/s. Porn was a lot harder to get but I remember some b/w polaroids when I was young of Japanese women giving on their knees blowjobs to fully in uniform sailors. The waiting girl pose, eyes down, waiting serenely was always appealing. I had a second or third grade classmate tell me I held her against a wall and kissed her. Never happened but it made me wonder about her and what vibe I was giving off even then. We were never close or played together ( as kids!! or adults either) but she said enough to make me curious.

Hey everybody! Here's something super sexy I read today.

What makes you feel sexy? This question is for men or women....

Buttercup comments on Jul 31, 2019:

No doubt female attention is the biggest one so I work on the interface. Neat and clean, fit and friendly gets me positive feedback. Girls talk to girls and notice how you treat them, so be a gentlemen even when there are no potential partners around. Someone might think I'm sexy but if I'm bristly and cold them, they won't get a chance to let me know.

Trump’s tax returns required under new California election law [latimes.

Buttercup comments on Jul 30, 2019:

First I want free and fair elections, we need a swing state to pass this close to the election. The Supreme Court is barely bothering to pretend they care about the law. Anything that could cost the Christian Fascists(GOP) the election will be found by some pretext to be unconstitutional. There are more than enough people to win 2/3 of the Senate if they're allowed to vote and impeach Kavanaugh, lots of people close to Trump would go to prison. Keep the pressure on.

Question: Has anyone ever engaged in fisting?

Buttercup comments on Jul 30, 2019:

Been with two girls who liked it, both small and athletic. It's like the splits, takes some stretching, long and short term. It has nothing to do with a loose pussy, they both had excellent muscular control and could be really tight anytime they wanted. The splits is not evidence that a gymnast is out of shape and has "loose joints". Also like the splits it's harder for some than others. If it hurts and you hate it, it's your pussy.

My favorite bible verse, even better than than the verse itself are the explanations that it ...

Buttercup comments on Jul 29, 2019:

Quote from a "Biblical Scholar" " It’s pretty obvious from the outset that Ezek. 23 is a parable which uses the “whorish” behaviour of a pair of women as a metaphor for the unfaithful and ungodly behaviours of Israelites from two nations; “Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.” I believe that the biblical interpretation would tell us that the message of Ezekiel 23 is as a warning to the nations of Earth to not be godless in our actions toward other nations, or God will give permission for the other nations to kill the former.

Buttercup comments on Jul 28, 2019:

We have limits on speech to protect public safety or harm by libel. So yeah the gun rights should be similarly examined. There is a lot of misuse of guns in this country, we need to be selective. Don't give the means to hurt people to people who'll misuse it. Our firearm death rate is high compared to other countries so maybe we can benefit from their experience.

Are atoms perpetual motion machines?

Buttercup comments on Jul 27, 2019:

Motion of electrons is a misnomer, they really aren't some tiny discrete objects circling a center of force. We can ignore that though because even if it were true it wouldn't matter. Planets are discrete objects circling a center of force. A body in motion stays in motion, you only change the amount of energy in the system when you add or subtract energy.

What is a deviant? Just curious definitions.

"Faith without works' is definitely dead.. but 'works without faith' works wonders.  td

Buttercup comments on Jul 27, 2019:

In a similar vein When the Rabbi was asked "Why did God create atheists?"... "God created atheists to teach us the most important lesson of them all - the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say "I'll pray that God will help you." Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist - imagine there is no God who could help, and say "I will help you"."

They were together for years until I lost touch. This was hippie doper neighborhood and party so they may have been the only virgins or Mormons there.

Buttercup comments on Jul 25, 2019:

Not even going to try to unpack all this, Hitler is dead what he wanted doesn't matter. Hitler and Mussolini were Catholics and supported the church throughout the war; the Pope knew about the death camps and helped with the cover up. This isn't some wild conspiracy just the facts. So yeah non Christians can be touchy on the subject. Why Hitler, because I personally know many more people that were affected than Asians or Africans.

I'm a big guy, gnarled and scarred, she thought strong arm robbery was a fun date idea. She came across crazy enough for it to be some Bonnie and Clyde fantasy and sleazy enough to just want the bloody money. Either way seemed to indicate she was up for some immediate wild sex but that was pretty much when I had to leave too.

I think you might like Spinoza, Einstein and Carl Sagan both admired his ideas about god and didn't identify as atheist.

I don't know if letting the most backward ideas become the default for religious thinking even though they are the majority is inevitable.

Anybody's pool is going to be fairly small. Just like employment, you don't want any job and don't expect to be hired for jobs if you lack the skills or aptitude. I think less even than 1 in 50 women would be a good match for me, which means there are still hundreds in a small metro area. I do most of the cooking and want an egalitarian partner. Regular church goers are right out, so are Trump sympathizers, though years back I had a Lutheran minister answer my personal ad, we really hit it off but also totally agreed that I was a little too Bohemian to take home to meet the congregation.

Buttercup comments on Jul 1, 2019:

Buttercup comments on Jun 14, 2019:

A neighborhood lady called me a few years ago, very alarmed that she couldn't close the door to her house,and afraid that the foundation had settled and her house needed major work. A routine diagnosis, years of kids slamming the door had cracked the jamb and thrown it out of true, I jacked it back into place and nailed it to; a sturdy but unsightly repair. We agreed we'd fix it right when she could afford it. I gave her the dimensions and told her about a mill-work place that gave good deals on returns since I knew she was on SSI and had a part time job at a convenience to make ends meet. She asked me for a bill and I just asked her to buy some flower bulbs from my daughter's class for her school fundraiser. Never did replace the door and maybe it's still there. A couple of years passed and and I got a call from her daughter, she'd died, asking me to stop by and pay my respects. When I got there I only recognized one person, the daughter, and started to explain who I was. One of the sons held up his hand stopped me and said, we all know who you are, you're the guy that was so good to our Mom. Surprising what you can get for fifteen minutes of your time.

When the ice has skimmed over the top you might try pull a piece away from the edge and see if it can be made to stand up. Ice generally freezes from the outside in and the top down so you might see pieces with that spear and a heavy base near a corner.
