Read one of the ask Reddit threads about “secrets of the porn industry”. Other than rampant abuse of the talent, addiction, etc, which the industry is rife with, there’s simple facts about the mechanics of it; people who have worked in porn say that there is nothing that smells worse than a porn movie set, and the industry would shut down if you smelled it, and how often there are “accidents” with anal scenes, etc.

I watched an amateur gang bang video once just to see if I liked it better and it was even more depressing, the woman was just kneeling there looking dazed and like she was a million miles away.

Never seen any.

I find porn really depressing.

All my drawers broke too, as well as the jazz board, twice. Pieces of shit.

I had to have my jazz board replaced twice on a very expensive Amana fridge. I don’t know the answer.

Ugh all appliances are such crap now. I want an old vacuum that lasts a lifetime from the 80s. They were much better.

All the plastic shelves they all have now break anyway, as well as the shitty plastic drawers. The drawers on mine all broke, and the jazz board died twice. Waste of money. I’d rather buy an old one on Marketplace.

Made turkey rice soup so basically am eating Christmas for another week. Delicious though.

I did focus groups and surveys for money. I often would just stock up on toiletries from Amazon when I had gift cards. That shit is expensive so it lets my grocery budget breathe.

A retired DC cop was convicted of tipping off Enrique Tarrio about an arrest warrant for burning a Black Lives Matter banner. He claimed he was “building rapport” with Tarrio.

I’m not sure; someone posted it on a Facebook group.

You know what looks worse than a Cybertruck? A Cybertruck pulling a Uhaul trailer. I saw that and laughed and laughed.

I had one at a food truck in Buffalo about six years ago. It was wonderful.

What I want to recreate is the Press Box salad from Niagara Falls NY.

Ooh I love a garbage plate.

Thank you.

Everyone does, and we have some queer and trans congregants too. Our official position is that we welcome all queer people in every way. Actually a bunch of people at another church left and joined us because that church came out as non-affirming of queer people.

Does that work for Google Play books? Is it an app?

Almost everything on Amazon is cheap trash, and they promote the hell out of all that trash instead of products of any quality. I am also so sick of the click funnels where you search for a specific item and they just give you pages full of knockoff trash as search results even if you go to a specific brand store. It’s nonsense.

I’m a practicing Christian and go to church every week. I also think homophobes are shitheads who don’t deserve the love and mercy of God.

The biblical scholar Walter Bruggeman wrote a great essay on the interpretation of homophobic biblical verses that is really good (https://outreach.faith/2022/09/walter-brueggemann-how-to-read-the-bible-on-homosexuality/).

But also just plain old have some common sense that the people of the ancient world didn’t have the same insight we do into human attraction and sexuality, and we can grow and evolve and know better. Also, even if you don’t agree with people being queer, you also have the ability to shut your mouth about it and keep it to yourself, and be the loving Christian you profess to be no matter what your personal beliefs are, and you have no right to tell people who to love, period.
