Trichocereus bridgesii, monstrose form. Called penis cactus or toothpick cactus depending on spines. T. bridgesii contains higher levels of alkaloids, including mescaline, than the more commonly used T. Pachnoi “San Pedro”. The monstrose form is said to be particularly potent, although it is slower growing.

Porque no los dos?

I’ve found that subs really dig it when you’ve machined your own spanky tools…

Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel…

Huh. I’m not sure how far back furries go.

If not, it’s certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.

This was covered back in '93 on usenet. Behold: Smuckfest!

I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.

This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.

Again, intellectually, I get it. I’d read about Nazi Blood Libel, Mao and the Great Leap Forward, the Khemr Rouge, Rwanada, and so on. It’s just difficult to comprehend when you see it happen all around you.

As for myself falling for transparent propaganda, it’s possible but unlikely. I think it’s likely that I’m somewhat immune to it at this point. Religion, politics, hatred of outgroups are the main levers used and I’ve pretty much had that burnt out of me. I have a finely honed bullshit detector. I can certainly be tricked, at least for a time. However, I believe in so little, at this point, that I think it would be pretty difficult to uncouple my reality from the real world.

That was a forgiveable mistake the first time around. Howver, the insanity and utter bullshit I saw during COVID was not so forgiveable. And then, electing him a second time? I don’t think there’s any way back.

It’s such transparent propaganda, it will probably always astound me that people were so easily fooled. Pepple I thought were intelligent, wise, and that I respected. The Qanon stuff, the COVID conspiracy stuff, antivax, climate change. They have ended up in a false reality that most will never escape, and it was so obviously a lie. I’m still in a mild state of shock from time to time, I still grieve it.

Intellectually I know how it happened, but my gut cannot make sense of how they fell for it.

Not who you were replying to. I have sort of similar roots, angst, and anger. My grandparents grew up sharecroppers, entire extended family are fundamentalists.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with being ignorant. It’s just a matter of education. Willfull ignorance, on the other hand, is the greatest sin.

The part I still can’t wrap my head around is falling for a New York, city slicker, orange ass, conman. My people used to dislike cops, hate the government, guns were just a fun tool for farm and hunting, and were suspicious of military jingoism and flag waving.

I wasn’t able to get a single friend or family member to see how they were being manipulated, how they were changing. I changed some, especially when I lost the religion, but I feel like I’m closer to our roots than they are. It’s profoundly alienating. I hate my own people a lot of the time. I’m so angry at them for fucking falling for such transparent bullshit. Fuck the evil bastards that lied them into it.

Atomic Tanks. Old school 2D hot seat fun. Nuke your friends and family.

That’s pretty much what I figured. Wish trans folks had something like the old school hanky code.

As far as my preferences go, I was in a triad for a while with an NB. If I were stuck on a desert island and had to pick between a vanilla woman or a sub boy, I’m picking the boy. However, like I said, I have a strong preference for female genitalia. The whole tomboy/NB thing is the sweetspot for me in this spectrum.

I also have smell preferences. MtF, many NB, and cis women smell much more attractive to me. I imagine it’s related to test levels. I don’t find heavily transitioned FtM very attractive. There’s an androgynous smell that’s kind of like fallen leaves that I really like.

Not trying to fetishize here, but thought the perspective might be interesting. I’m very masculine and fall somewhere between a wolf or bear.

As far as I know, pup/petplay is an outgrowth of queer male leather with leather pups being the prototype. Ponyplay has similar roots, probably a little more tradionally het. A fair amount of it, especially in porn, is just female submissive cishet roleplay. There is also overlap with furries.

It is relatively common in the straight-ish kink and leather communties in the US. There are leather pups all over gay leather. I can’t speak to the lesbian communties.

If you’re in the US, get involved with your local bdsm/kink community. Saw a girl come out as a hu-cow for the first time at a recent event.

When considering dating trans/NB folks, what is the best way to ask about their genital configuration, gender identity, and future planned trajectory?

In other words, I have a strong preference for female genitalia. I also strongly prefer limited or no body hair (shaved is fine). There is a set of tomboy/androgyny/boi that is my type. Is there a polite way to ask about this?

And gave them LSD! Funded by NASA.

The Dolphin Who Loved Me.

George Clooney has done some real life Batman shit. He started the Satellite Sentinel Project. using some of his millions. Org’s website is https://thesentry.org/

He rents satellite time and surveils African warlords providing warnings for villages of incoming armies.

After increasingly cussing the TV as the level of stupid rose higher and higher, we made it to the part where magic purple witch spray was used. I paused the TV and my girl and I just looked at each other, we were done.

Also, who the fuck writes in a fucking basement in New Orleans? Not motherfucking Anne Rice. So stupid.

We’re finishing up the second season of Interview with a Vampire. Other than a bad Southern accent in the first season, it’s excellent and super queer. Highly recommend.

They got rid of the motherfucking crisping sleeves! I’m pissed.

and slathering it on a well done steak

Burn the heretic!

Aluminum oxide. Pretty damn inert.

What about invasive vs naturalized?

It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I remeber it being medicore late golden era. Hubbard had no understanding of radiation and his characters tended to be good or evil without a lot of nuance.
