Luckily it's definitely STDH.

If that's who I think it is its a GiP poster would say "Hey, I'm gonna make up a really batshit insane story and post in GiP and lets wait until GBS/D&D picks it up context free and spends 10 pages screaming about soldiers being baby rapists. Literally the entire thread was "let's make fake rear end in a top hat stories and see who believes them"

There was another one where he talked about how he's got a Kim Kardashian like rear end, and when his navy ship got a bunch of books him and the crew got drunk and used his buttcheeks to clench the books and rip them in half. Way too many people also took that seriously.

She came back for a while after her initial ban to tell us that she had gestational diabetes lmao


edit: oh and to the shock of no one, the baby was premature or there was something wrong with it, I don't remember exactly.

The baby was hosed because of the gestational diabetes. One of the early posts in the thread even pointed out "As you describe, you are at a tremendous risk for gestational diabetes, and that will cause problems that your child will suffer from for their entire life" and that poster quoted themselves months later with a massive "I loving told you you disgusting waste of humanity"

The Bluestory response was "Quit being mean to me and offer some actual help. If you won't help me turn back the clock on 9 months of horrible mistakes then you're being mean should leave this thread"

I considered both during my pregnancy, which was unplanned and occurred while I was taking medication that's really best not taken during pregnancy, a moderate smoker, and the worst, most pickiest eater on the planet. I had to go far, far, far outside my comfort zone to quit smoking cold, taper down the medication as fast as possible, and change my diet and my exercise habits. I used my ability to change during my pregnancy as a way to measure if I should adopt out. If you're at 32 weeks and nothing's changed, you should strongly consider it. You should also stop drinking two cans of soda a day because it makes you feel lovely, believe it or not. Nevermind the potential for gestational diabetes. If you still need a flavor-overload because you're used to things with so much base flavor you find non-salty, non-super-sugared food bland, get those little squeezy things of flavor for water. There are ones without artificial sweeteners. I used those and lemonade with the recommended amount of sugar to get water into myself for the first few months of pregnancy, then it was summer and I could taste things again and water was delicious.

Hi! Dropping in to mention that it is great that this thread is in GWS now, as I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week. Which means that I can't eat the vast majority of fast food and froofy sandwiches anymore. No more juice, no more massive amounts of apples, no more massive amounts of bread and pasta products. No more potatoes or rice. Any lazy low-carb recipes are appreciated! By low carb I mean based on my blood sugar measurements last week I need to be under 40 carbs per meal to keep my glucose level below 120 an hour after eating, which is what the nurse instructed. I'm already eating roasted brussel sprouts and mushrooms for dinner.

There have been other non-food updates but I suppose I should save those for more appropriate forums?

I know it seems like a callous thing to say, but you're not responsible for her behaviour. You should read this - I found it really helpful when I was in a similar situationNear constant flatulence that has a smell so powerful to me that I risk cumming on particularly strong farts. In addition I can't hold them back for more than 10 minutes at most; if I try then it'll practically explode out my rear end, soil my pants a bit, and of course make me cream them like I was edging for a whole day.

The thing is, it becomes oddly easier to hold it if I somehow manage to keep them contained past that threshold point (I.e. industrial butt plugs) but if they're held in for over an hour I can't fart for a week. Instead, my cock farts instead of cumming (but the cum is still built up in my balls) and my body odor becomes my farts. My breath is of course foul to everyone but me. The result is if I hold it in too long, I become a perpetually aroused, sporadically ejaculating filth hound.

The 10% probably account for at minimum 50% of the posts in the high profile threads though.

Hence Bitcoin (but also part of the problem), and so on. That being said, I care what others do because they continue to make things worse by returning to normal, and or kill people while pretending it wasn't their fault. If everyone would just wear loving masks and get an easy rear end jab, I actually could actually get laid again safely for instance. Like, everyone bitches about missing social stuff, and then does a bunch of unsafe stuff, and keeps it going. Well guess what? So do loving I! but I don't go out like a jackass and keep this poo poo going.

I mean poo poo, even the people who do wear masks are doing it wrong 90% of the time. Almost nobody I see who has masks on are wearing good masks, or bad masks properly even. It's better than nothing but like, the messaging has been truly awful.

I was at Disneyland today from 8:30 AM until 9:30 PM. This was not my planning. But needless to say I was not happy about this. To answer the original poster who tried to act like I was an rear end in a top hat about this. No, I was not there with kids that were not vaccinated. I was with three teens who are related to me and a friend, Who are all vaccinated, and a family member also vaccinated. I was double masked with an N 95 and a cloth mask over and glasses the entire time. My niece was double masked as well and is getting a Covid test anyways before she can go to a church thing this weekend. we ate outside of the park twice, once indoors (not crowded lunch) once outdoors. Aside from that, I only took sips of water away from everybody over water with a personal fan blowing the air around in the park, and masks on the rest of the time. I walked over 15 miles. It was exhausting, I regret doing it, and this thing is going to be everywhere. Nobody cares, nobody really knows, I heard a lot of people talking very smugly as they tore their masks off between rides about being fully vaccinated.

I asked way earlier in the thread about going to a Dodgers game tomorrow, and I know now that I can easily go three hours without using the bathroom or eating at a game, but I sure as hell don’t see the point. Also, the Disneyland merch has gotten incredibly cheap feeling. I went in there ready to spend stupid money on things like the light saber, and all of it feels like cheap China crap. Even the coffee mugs that used to be unique and awesome I have gone downhill and smaller in size.

i’m not complaining about being at Disneyland. It was stupid circumstances that ended up with me there. and privilege and blah blah blah. I’m more bummed that I have to cancel on seeing my friends in September at a dance festival, and the fact that the wrong number will go up from here on out. The number of dead and hospitalized.

Society was built and trains us to be more selfish as a virtue. of course this virus was going to spread like wild fire and keep coming back. I pondered this in a lot of other things during the day. I pondered my silly probe. There’s a strong argument to be made that me even co towing to family pressure and being there at all was me being a selfish rear end in a top hat. I did everything right for 18 months and it feels useless. was it exhaustion and a mistake that made me feel like I was an idiot at the park today? probably.

but looking around the park today I know number is going to go up bigly, and this society is going to collapse faster and faster over the next 10-15 years.

as we were eating pizza outside for dinner a homeless man ran down the street yelling and someone asked why homeless has gotten worse. I started to think of a good answer for a very Privileged teen who because of their lovely church didn’t believe masks worked 6 months ago, and before I could respond someone else said because California makes it too easy for them.

at that point, I finished my slice, said nothing and put my mask back on and joker smiled.

for every covidiot freaking out over frozen viral exhalations on their ice cream from a infected factory worker there's a dozen+ people who are dealing with jobs that demand they come in and have no masks/vaccination polices enforced.

So I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little offended, I know actual clowns IRL, like personal friends who I drink with and smoke bud with. Who have a passion for being a clown, and actually have like registration numbers, and I think eggs but I never really asked because who wants to talk about work all the time?

It’s not just that being a clown is funny, but it’s timed and more importantly it’s consensual. My friends don’t try to run around throwing pies in the streets to get random laughs from strangers, because that’s just creepy and weird. There’s a social contract. Not only that, they have actual routines, they spend time learning and crafting something. Really creating a comedy act. Not all clowns are wearing makeup, but every clown is self-evident, and doesn’t have to announce themselves. Like there’s clowns on social media that talk about how sad they are that people are scared of clowns because they broke that social contract. There’s a whole clown community, and they have beefs and poo poo with scary clowns and funny clowns getting in like actual fights.

You’re literally doing a disservice to actual clowns.

Back to the self evidence thing, you can enter a room at any point, and immediately know who the “clown” is. You’re at a party? You’ll recognize them immediately, they won’t walk up and say “Hi I’m the funniest person in the room, honk honk you wanna see my penis?” They’ll just be charismatic and funny. You watch abbot and costello, you know who the clown is in the performance, even though they’re both acting together, one is recognizable as the clown, and the other the person in line.

Clowns don’t just get pissed on, they also play a part in a team effort. Being sad and pathetic is not what makes a clown funny, and it’s hosed up that you’re taking a job that is important and done because they legitimately want to make people happy and reducing them to your level of pity party.

Begging for negative attention doesn’t make you a clown. In fact if you don’t self reflect and learn about social interactions you’ll never manage to be a clown.

Paggliacci literally begins with a clown coming on stage and saying that he feels pity and sorrow just like any other person. You’re not supposed to laugh at this, you’re not supposed to be like “Hah what a stupid loving loser, I can’t wait to be a loser just like him.” When you find out that Paggliacci is a deeply jealous man who has pushed his wife away and ends the first act crying alone, you’re not supposed too be laughing at him. It’s the intense sorrow of a broken man who has realized that he will never be able to function normally in his relationship.

Trying to be a clown when he’s a deeply profoundly sad and pathetic person is what ultimately breaks him, and when he has to act out his insecurities in real life he suddenly kills his wife and his wife’s lover. You’re not supposed to aspire to be Paggliacci.

Your misunderstanding of a play is like your posting, it’s trite and insulting. Everyone sees through it, and it’s going to end with you realizing how broken you are.
Do not call yourself a clown. Clown’s are worthy of respect.

That's my sexual agenda. I will no doubt have sex with my wife in between tonight and tomorrow because it makes it seem really dirty to have sex with three woman in a 24 hour period and it's one of those steam achievements. Also they all know about all of this too and so everyone is consenting and happy to be on the polysex train.

Perhaps you mate should put a few minutes in with the ladies and self improvement and get a slice of action rather than your pathetic attempt at raining on my parade, which in the analogy is more like squirting the tv with a water gun

Thanks to NOW, I now have a glass-block chamber full of about twenty fairies. Since I literally wrote the book on how to torment fairies, I've been performing various experiments on them. But, alas, I have more of them than experiments given Minecraft's limited toolset in that area, so I'm open to suggestions on what to do with the survivors, ahem, remainder.

I can say that they despawn when out-of-sight unless given a headband of flowers, stay spawned if headbanded as long as you stay within the 81-block mob management radius of Minrcraft, and make a lot of very annoying noises when in close proximity. Also, setting the queen on fire and letting her die that way makes it far easier to capture her flock of groupies.

Finally, I found that replacing fairies' pain and death sounds with actual scream sounds makes for a far creepier experience when, say, setting them on fire with a flint and steel. (If anyone wants those I might bundle 'em for download.)

The critics in that thread were dealing with multiple people, in 2009, honestly posting the same borderline racist dismissals of rap that my parents were yelling at me in the early 90s.

Rap and Hip Hop by 2009 had already solidified itself as serious music worthy of academic study no less valid then jazz or rock.

To see people praising a bunch of white boys playing as pirates and co-opting the language of hip hop "flintlock glock" etc. and then casually dismiss the entire field of music would infuriate anyone with even a passing interest in the music.
