  1. Holy shit. I didn't think you were an Incel, but I obviously should have.
  2. For a dude that doesn’t orgasm, the first thing that comes to my mind is that he likes to punish himself.
  3. It’s straight up bullshit you are getting left on an island.
  4. Nobody: Ghosty:
  5. You can’t even jack off on your birthday?
  6. That is the farthest you'll go? I mean, Velma isn't coming out in a PG13 movie.
  7. Well, if anyone could come up with a worse response than Ghosty, it would be you. All of the awkward creepiness with even less charm.
  8. You going home wouldn't be what I would expect as being great, but seeing the furry family sounds like a blast.
  9. Vacation, huh? Where does the man who fucks only the finest sex workers go for vacation?
  10. Looks like your birthday is off to a passive agressive start. HBD, btw.
  11. Dear God, man Couldn’t you just tell her she looks great and leave it at that?
  12. Such an unappreciated art.
  13. You ever get the feeling you're working too hard to sell the joke?
  14. I can't tell when he's legitimately flexing and when he's just being non-sequitur strange.
  15. It's a RIP thread, not a music appreciation thread, dude.
  16. Can you please not be you in a RIP thread?
  17. The problem with the bible is that it purports to be a direct recounting of historical events. People like to refer to indigenous mythologies (because that is what the bible really is) as fiction, but they aren't exactly. They were always intended to be direct recountings of historical events, or, if you will, a fiction disguised as a historical record. Mythologies are lies, and they have always been lies. Sometimes they are well-meant "white lies" that use fictional narrative as a way of explaining the unexplainable to people. Over time, these white lies become black as the the priest and warrior classes used myths to obtain power. The point is that the fiction itself isn't a lie: the lie comes about in how the fiction is portrayed as historical rather than fictional. That being said, mythologies are always lies even when the intent isn't to deceive. They misrepresent what they are to truthfully explain the nature of the world, and that's the fundamental question when it comes to drawing the line between creating a fiction and creating a lie. Another way to frame the distinction is that a standard fiction has a completely invisible creator, a mythic fiction has a false creator: myths are the historical record of an artificial witness. As long as there has been storytelling, there has always been a clear separation between myths and other fictional narration devices like poems, prose or plays, with the staging of the fiction acting as a frame for its purpose. Fiction ≠ Lie Myths/Bible = Fiction Myths/Bible = Lie
  18. Probably tried to shove the pieces of the dearly departed stuffed Scoobert down the toilet.
  19. Oof. Just want to run my fingers through the fluff, and give it a tug.
  20. Never knew he gave 2Pac his start.
  21. Stunning @GunStarHero
  22. Well, this is an odd discussion.... Fiction writing isn't lying for the simple reason that the writer is not the storyteller. Sometimes (in the case of first person) it's a narrator, but most often (in the case of third person limited), the protagonist is telling the story. Now, the storyteller could be a liar, and every storyteller lies sometimes, but the fiction writer Is only acting as a conduit for the storyteller, and the privilege of conveying the story comes at the cost of losing the ability to directly lie to the audience.
  23. Mix. I'm proud of you.
  24. That's the problem. But I'm sticking with it nonetheless.
