i kind of wish i could remember more about him, but then i remember that the fallibility of human memory is glorious, and i am comforted by the idea that all of the idiot and horrible mistakes i made that i never recorded, all of my skid mark memories i never wrote down or told anyone, will die with me. my lack of a paper trail in the end is what vindicates me into the overwhelming corpus of forgotten humanity, one voice in an infinite silent choir

like it's probably a good thing that less than one percent of one percent of human experience is recorded, because some folks are all "but think of all the advances we would have made", and i think "just think how loving bored we would be if we had a cheat sheet FAQ of human existence"

Alright chat, controversial opinion

Fat women can have sex appeal before a spectrum of overfatness.

Not like too big, but I mean christ, 200lbs can look svelte on a 6 ft frame, and sometimes a little short cutie with an ample booty can have a pretty smile. Something about a chubby girl smiling is naturally attractive to me.

Discussion point for the morning: How much does weight translate into personal sexual attraction. And this should be a no judgment zone unless someone just trolls or says something horrible

pathetic match, this. i get the comparison to chelsea now - technical masterclass but mayweather could've easily won in a way that wasn't that painfully boring. that's all fine and well and im sure there's already a bunch of articles about how the fight wasn't a total snooze because of the technical side, just like there are a bunch of articles trying to convince us chelsea isn't a boring poo poo team and 2012 barcas tiki taka triangles aren't about as interesting to watch as paint dry - but mayweather doesn't have the charisma to pull it off

A huge chunk of the German leftist '68er movement was all participating in that as well and it started to slowly get more public attention over the last year. Because in the ~40 years since the start of the movement enough time was there for the members of the movement to get in positions of authority and for their victims to get old enough to be able to speak freely about the abuse suffered in "Reformschulen" and other "sex-positive" institutions influenced by the '68er movements ideologies. For all its failures the SPD is actually handling that issue somewhat decently apart from its far left factions but the Greens have a lot of today's leadership involved in that poo poo and the party base still has a lot of sympathizers under the surface who try to reframe the outlash against the past abuses as an issue of homophobia.

he was technically superior, and beat his opponent by the rules of competition in that sport, so yes, everyone is sad that not getting punched while punching is a thing.

one of my (unpopular?) opinions is that fat activism is a short-lived fad for some on the left, along the same lines as eugenics in the 1910s and this kind of "sexual liberation" in the 60s:
