    Society still can’t comprehend men who are not totally controlled by their own sex drives.

    I’ve commented on this before, she needs to learn to communicate her desire and not just assume her being in her underwear instantly communicates “I want sex.”

    Like, sure, if he saw her in her underwear and understood this was her way of communicating that and he is still not going for it maybe there is an issue. But by default there is no way to know that is what their relationship is like.

      Exactly. I hang out in my underwear and in the nude all the time with my partner, it doesn’t mean anything sexual for us. It is a sign of climate change. For us, we just tell each other.

      Yeah I had an ex who had to tell me the opposite. She just had weird germophobia about sitting on public seats then sitting on home furniture. I thought she was always just raring to go when we returned to one of our apartments.

        That’s not weird. Sitting on home furniture in the same clothes you sat on a bus means depositing particles of bum vomit and god knows what else on your home furniture.

    Real talk: A lot of hey-this-will-be-awesome sword making documentaries on YouTube have gotten to where they’re trying to sell them.

    That’s not what I’m about. I don’t care about your side hustle. I care about your interest is veering into a passion that goes a bit beyond what is acceptable in polite society.

    I Don’t know how far a halberd would penetrate into a 2019 GMC Yukon. That’s what I’m about. That’s what the world needs.

      There’s an xkcd hover text that really captures some of my feelings about people and their interests/passions:

      I never trust anyone who’s more excited about success than about doing the thing they want to be successful at.

      This is an underlying filter for whether someone else’s passion strikes me as interesting. I need a level of authenticity in the people who I interact with on any given topic.

      I feel like this is the type of comment that, were it posted to one of the big sites, would’ve gotten reposted to the rest of them. Not unlike the original meme.

      There’s a reason shows like MASH and Seinfeld see so much viewership in syndication.

      Run the classics, baby! People want it!

    I can’t speak to medieval sword making docs, but Nova has an amazing one on Viking weaponry called Secrets of the Viking Sword. I very much enjoyed it.

        Right but most people don’t really thinking Viking when you’re discussing medieval swords. Hence the addendum.
