  • I feel you and what everyone is doing annoys me too, but our only recourse is to do something worse.

    My proposal: we start calling our removed “corpora cavernosa”.

    Examples:

    • “Hey, Chumley, don’t just stand there with your corpora cavernosa in your hand.”
    • ”He’s being a total corpora cavernosa!”
    • ”My corpora cavernosa got pinched by my zipper.”
    • ”Hey, bro, does my corpora cavernosa hook off to the right?”

  • I played football 🏈 in middle school and high school. Watching it is okay to me but I won’t do it voluntarily.

    Even worse, if I’m forced to watch sports too many times I go crazy wanting to play. In my 20s , friends were into World Cup ⚽️, and day off, sunny outside, cool breeze, and we’re in a bar watching a game on TV. I snap and start going to pickup soccer games in the city. Same thing in my late 30s: my sons peewee football games drive me crazy, and I have to start joining local rugby league practices.

    Finally, in my early 40s, I had the money to do a dream: motorcycle racing. But it’s so hard to get to do it even with enough money: join club, wait for track day and so on. I was still trying to lose weight to buy one of those back-protector suits when I discover Moto GP. And suddenly, something clicked. I finally understood how some people can watch sports. I never did made it to the track, but I can watch a motorcycle race on TV and really enjoy it. Without going crazy.




  • In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

    The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

    A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.









  • No. Stay and fight. The theater of conflict is closed. There is no place else to go.

    If you leave you’re the same as these fighting-age single men fleeing Syria or wherever. Literally or metaphorically, you’ll end up drowning in the Mediterranean in a pathetic cowards death.

    To the radical old-heads like me. If you have stage 4 cancer, then you ain’t surviving. That’s a license to do anything because you’ll be dead in a year. Find a billionaire and do what needs to be done. Of course I mean give them a stern talking to; I’ve heard psychopaths respond well to those. And not one of the famous ones, they are actually not as bad. The less famous ones are also more touchable.

    Stay strong in the struggle.
