Buttigieg

They'll never pry state secrets from Buttplug... not that he'd object to them trying.

He's only a mayor. City Hall can be beat.

Hopefully Sanders gives him a thorough beating.

Only the mayor of a mid-size city, at that.

He arrived on the scene claiming to be the most qualified to be president of the United States and leader of the free world due to his 'superior' management experience.

That claim was based on serving as mayor and his job after college.

When the candidates initially came out swinging their identity politics in the first debate, he tried that, too. When he still failed to muster significant minority support he tilted to the center, which is working for him, it appears.

I think he's pretentious. He's certainly audacious.

It says micro, but they always feel bigger.

Your probably more familiar with the old school compact flash models.

I was talking about the other end.

When I lived in NYC I had a friend who used to visit one week a year, for business. She lived in Montréal then moved to Vancouver. Anyway, one time she showed up with a bag full of sex toys and a bag full of coke. I've never bothered to collect anything but memories so that was a learning experience. Oh the things one will do with/for/on coke.

Remember what I said about your disgusting sexual non-sequiturs, and you're like "what are you talking about? I never do that"

This is what I'm talking about.

This is not a non-sequitur. This is a direct response to the OP poster who shared the image. It's hardly disgusting or graphic. I certainly could delve but I most definitely don't. I don't bring these stories up from nowhere. If you fail to see the connections I can expound on anything I've said previously to make it clearer.

Also, she's still a very good friend - as are most of my exes. And there's nothing disgusting about her.

If you have issues regarding sexual content, beyond the no-porn rule, from innuendo to graphic, it might be nice to clarify that for us all.

I'm just saying, you say you never do it, yet you do. I get tired of the hypocrisy is all. Just own it at least.

I own that I'm a hypocrite in a lot of ways, like everyone, without exception.

But in my opinion I don't randomly pull out "disgusting sexual non-sequiturs". Your conservative values might find my non-graphic exploits about consenting adults disgusting - and you may even insist they are "dragging down" the conversation. I don't see it that way but I'm willing to learn if you explain further, ideally with a list of examples rather than just an occasional arbitrary frowny opinion.

It also wouldn't hurt if you actually disciplined those who are actually clearly breaking the rules, whether it's name-calling, linking to trans porn, etc. That might remove much temptation to perpetuate the gutter talk in many folks - and even me.

Obviously I was quite liberal for decades. Theoretically I still am. So far as "smutty stories" go, while I wouldn't applaud a ban, I would accept it were you to lay out some rules/guides/examples against it - for the greater good - just like I understand why porn is banned. Unfortunately many posted articles share far worse than I've written and I don't even know how you might begin to deal with those conversations. I don't envy your burdens.
