Republicans brace for next round of Trump primary chaos

ChestRockfield comments on Jun 6, 2022:

They'll be fine. Go all-in on Trumpism. Parents don't care enough about children and women don't care enough about their reproductive rights, and those are the only two big or changing issues behind the economy right now. So if those things don't matter that much to those it should matter to, Republicans are probably going to clean up the next two elections.

I have a question for those knowledgeable about firearms. Is an AR-15 more deadly than a handgun?

Woman: I'm going to stop you right there trying to restrict my access to guns based on what you believe they intended. It says my right to keep and bare arms shall NOT be infringed. Period.)

ChestRockfield comments on May 29, 2022:

That's a super tough question I'm likely ill-equipped to answer. I was never lucky enough to marry the woman of my dreams because she inexplicably wanted children. We were together almost 5 years and our sex life did not dwindle even the tiniest bit, so I like to think that if we had gotten married we would have never faced such problems. Before you resort to anything destructive, are you certain you're putting in all the effort you used to if not more? Everything is a cost:benefit, so you gotta make sure you're tipping the scales. Maybe sex is more work at this age? Maybe it's painful? Maybe diminished drive makes it a lower priority? See if you can overcome those hurdles. "Lord" knows I *wish* I had a woman I could try to get to want to have sex with me.

Women! Now With Fewer Rights - YouTube

ChestRockfield comments on May 23, 2022:

Spoke to a woman about the law Oklahoma is working on. She shrugged it off and said it didn't affect her and that she had a hysterectomy. I reminded her she had a daughter. She replied, "I'm not raising my child like that; she'll pay the consequences of her actions!" (Which I don't even have the time to get into how super fucked up that statement is before moving on to the point of this story.) Shocked, I asked about the case where her daughter *didn't choose* to have sex and get pregnant. She said she "didn't even want to think about that". Well, fuckin', of course not. No one *wants* to think about their child getting raped. But I can guess something they'd dislike even more. Having their daughter's rapist be a forced baby daddy that can then sue for parental rights. This is why I have no faith that any sort of pink wave will change the course of this country. Apathy and insanity are occupying too much of the space that needs to be filled with outrage and fear.

I think I'm pretty good about most of that stuff, especially the big ones. I've never once grabbed/pushed a woman's head before or during a beej. It's crazy that anyone even has to tell guys that. I could probably pay more attention to breasts, because I've always been more of an ass man. The worst one is that the last girl I was lucky enough to sleep with doesn't like getting head and it's just about my favorite thing to do in this world. I've heard that before from girls and after they let me, they change their tune. I have a feeling it may be a self-esteem or self-confidence issue because she's staying with a dude that treats her like absolute shit, *and I know I'm super good at it.* She did let me go down on her a few times, but I think it was for the lubrication because she wanted to have more sex.

I have a nifty trick that allows me to do this... F.D.A. Authorizes Underwear to Protect Against S.T.I.s During Oral Sex It’s the first time underwear has been authorized for this purpose, and it provides a new choice for protection where the few options have been unpopular. Shelly, a nurse in Washington State, decided to try the panties because she and her fiancé, Ashton, were having trouble re-engaging in oral sex after his struggle with oral cancer.Credit...Jovelle Tamayo for The New York Times By Pam Belluck May 12, 2022 This is a story about infections, sex and underwear. More specifically, it’s about sexually-transmitted infections, oral sex and ultrathin, super-stretchy, vanilla-flavored panties. The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the panties to be considered protection against infections that can be transmitted from the vagina or anus during oral sex. It is a first for underwear. The undies are part of an understudied but important area of sexual health where the few options for protection are considered cumbersome and hardly used. “Oral sex is not totally risk-free,” said Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She said the need for protective methods was of growing importance because more “teenagers are initiating their first sexual activity with oral sex.” For people of all ages, she added, a protective barrier that is enjoyable to use could “reduce anxiety and increase pleasure around that particular behavior.” Infections like herpes, gonorrhea and syphilis can be transmitted through oral sex, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The risk of transmitting H.I.V. from a vagina through oral sex is considered very low, the C.D.C. said. But HPV — human papillomavirus — is more easily transmitted that way, and mouth and throat infections from some types of HPV may develop into oral or neck cancer, the agency said. How often people transmit infections in this manner is unclear and difficult to study because most people who have oral sex have vaginal or anal sex in the same encounter, said Dr. Kenneth Mayer, the medical research director for Fenway Health, a community health center in Massachusetts that focuses on patients who identify as L.G.B.T.Q. “The F.D.A.’s authorization of this product gives people another option to protect against S.T.I.s during oral sex,” said Courtney Lias, director of the F.D.A. office that led the review of the underwear. The only product previously authorized for protection during oral sex was a dental dam — a thin, rectangular sheet of latex (or sometimes polyurethane) that typically must be held in place with one’s hands to form a barrier ...

Most abortions are via pill these days. 5.

ChestRockfield comments on May 8, 2022:

I think it's going to go the way of Gilead. If women who want to drink, smoke, and use drugs are forced to carry a baby they don't want, a percentage of them (I would hope a large percentage) are going to continue to do what they want regardless. More laws controlling women's bodies will follow. And if it's a slow back and forth of resistance and control measures, it will get really, really bad for women. If, however, they vote as a bloc, they can take back control of EVERYTHING and do whatever they want. This, unfortunately, is probably unlikely considering the same percentage of men and women think abortion should be illegal in all circumstances (19%). That seems like a really low number, but it's obviously not when it's part of an extremely cohesive bloc that always shows up to vote and always votes the party. Also, everyone knew reproductive rights were on the ballot in '16 and it didn't motivate women enough. If enough of them cared about their bodily autonomy as the number one issue, there would have been a gigantic blue wave in every state of the country. There wasn't, so they probably figured the women wouldn't stand up for themselves so they could probably get away with whatever they wanted.

ChestRockfield comments on May 7, 2022:

Not sure where the person who made that meme is getting their information. According to this Pew Research Study, there are only 5 states that DON'T have greater than 30% support for banning abortion: Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Hell, 14 states have 50% or better the number that think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases with Arkansas topping the list at 60%. I do not believe stuff like this is helpful. Okay, I looked them up. "Data for Progress" didn't do any polling. Their numbers are total junk. This is what they state regarding that conclusion they reached: "MRP [multilevel regression model, not sure why that's not MRM, but they said 'MRP' three times in their explanation, so...] consists of two steps. First, we fit a multilevel-regression model to a survey sample to estimate how likely someone is to hold a particular opinion based their self-reported demographic characteristics and the state where they live. A regression model is a statistical model used to analyze the relationships between some observed outcome (in this case, a political opinion) and other characteristics, called predictors. Multilevel regression is an advanced modeling technique that makes efficient use of sample data. The second step in MRP is called post-stratification, where we use our multilevel model to predict the responses of the population of each state. Using the demographics and population counts from the voter file, which account for differences in the demographics and geography, we post-stratify the survey sample and the population."
