On the one hand, Holmes seems like the type that would insist that they're above such things as "sexual pleasure" or giving in to more primal urges. On the other hand, he also seems like exactly the person who would claim that he doesn't have a masturbation addiction, it's just that he thinks clearer after ejaculation, so masturbates all the time.

The correct answer is that in earlier stories he's jerkin' it all the time for the purposes of mental clarity, then at a certain point Arthur Conan Doyle hears about some semen retention orgone pseudoscience and Holmes suddenly switches to being strictly volcel, attributing his awesome analytical deductive ability to the power of NoFap.

Then we tune out and watch Elementary, where it's explicitly stated in the first episode that Sherlock regularly hires hookers to keep his head level.

Didn't the author freak himself out so badly that he converted to Catholicism because he loved that tit Father brown so much? I grew up catholic in a madly Catholic country, and even by our freaky standards, Chesterton was a fuckin freak. He was a weird Catholic weeaboo.

Reverse order, Father Brown is based on the priest that convinced Chesterton to convert. But Chesterton was certifiable, women being allowed to vote was going to destroy civilization, they'd start thinking for themselves instead of filtering it through the non emotional men folk. And then that would lead to men having to think for themselves instead of relying on the emotional intelligence of women.

saw this really good video in my feed earlier today that's a fun little blast from the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvGn9mm9bT0 it's specifically about the history of the Game Awards (formerly called the VIDEO Game Awards  ), but it's also a look into early 2000s era male nerd culture. my friends and i still laugh about how much of an utter and embarrassing trainwreck the original VGAs were, but the video also mentions things i had completely forgot existed like STAN LEE'S Stripperella and MANSWERS! (  ). Really funny to look back and see this bizarre attempt at pandering to Gamers by viciously insulting them at every turn. It truly is one of those things that make you realize that, as awful as the gaming industry still might be, that we've still made miles of progress (yes, incredibly low bar, but still).

Aces High posted:I remember The Man Show on Comedy Central, but I don't remember if it was supposed to be a parody or not. My cousin and I thought it was a hilariously stupid show The weirdest loving thing about that show is that the first two hosts are Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla-- one goes on to be a talk show host for nearly two decades now, sucking off Disney-affiliated celebrities, while the other is a sad old Boomer of a man that no one really likes. Then in the last season loving Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope end up being hosts-- one is now CHUD-whisperer supreme and looks like a dehydrated testicle, and the other ended up being about as punk rock as a mainstream comedian can still get. Its like the show was made on a cursed leyline.

Carolla was a professional rear end in a top hat whose time ran out, and who spends his time whining about being cancelled in between trying to make lovely movies. Doug Stanhope and Joe Rogan…well, there was only ever one place that was going

I still remember Jimmy Kimmel mostly as the snarky host of Win Ben Stein's Money, which my mom really wanted me to auditon for because, "You would wipe the floor with that obnoxious gently caress and take his money." Pretty sure I would have gotten eaten alive on the show, but the fact that Kimmel is now a pro universal health care guy is amusing in that context.

Mr Interweb posted:STAN LEE'S Stripperella I tried watching a couple episodes of that when it aired, and I maintain that there was one bad guy who should have escaped the show: Cheapo, the world's cheapest supercriminal. In the finest '66 Batman tradition, he did themed crimes like stealing fake furs, or all the pennies in a bank, or the world's largest cubic zirconia. He had two henchmen, with one gun to share between them. Every time I look at my bank account, I think of his line, "Congratulate me, boys, I'm a hundredaire!"

I do sometimes wonder if Jimmy Kimmel ever wakes up in a cold sweat worried that people will remember that one of America's top late night hosts used to host a show where they had women called the Juggy Girls whose job it was to basically just bounce on trampolines in bikinis. But then again he got through all the blackface stuff coming up a few years ago so probably not. Mr Luxury Yacht has a new favorite as of 07:50 on Jan 26, 2023 |

I felt The Man Show was parody, but earnest parody. Like it was them exploring and having fun with stuff and jobs that were traditionally masculine. Like one episode they hang out with a guy who runs a junkyard, and Adam is excited to be able to shoot a junkyard rat, but then a guy in a huge rat mascot costume shows up and beats his rear end.
