The Twilight Struggle For [chat]

SanderJK

Well it looks like my gallbladder is intermittently creating very small gallstones, that didn't appear on earlier echoes, probably because they were taken after they had just caused blockades and passed. But the fuckers are camera now, and though my followup is next week, the likelyhood of me losing an organ seem high.

Yeah, agreed. That was the other reason I wanted to see it.

Neighborhood friends who didn't have gym together?

but never

never gone to the pool or the gym or the whatever activity with a shower at the same time, not at any point in their lives

never skinny dipped

it's just weird

MrMister

At my high school it was normal not to change at school after gym. Didn't see any of my broskis naked until college, when there was all the group sex and shit

I'm curious as to what interests you about it? The premise and reasons behind the kink seem relatively simple.

The kink behind wanting to watch straight guys do gay stuff is pretty simple, but the doc is about the performers rather than the viewers. It follows them and their motivations, their feelings about their work and their sexuality, and all that stuff. The short answer I gleaned is that the performers run the spectrum from "straight, likes money" to "maybe has a bisexual side, trying to figure their shit out by having sex with men in a way that doesn't commit them to being gay."

Admittedly, maybe it's more complicated than I'm picturing. I haven't seen the film.

The kink? It's not a kink, it's an interesting job.

We are real buttoned up here.

I blame the lack of saunas.

and, like, co ed nudity is generally right the fuck out unless its sexy times.

cultural differences.

My big annoyance about Battleborn is that it's a full-price game and yet I have to do grinding to unlock characters.

SanderJK

I formed a basketball team in student days with most of my friends so yeah.

Also that their "skins" are just basic palette swaps.

Hmm since they hotfixed it it's better then it was but Metldown is my JAM I really hope there is more then one map for ti though the description for it imply's its the only one though.

I also think there's a lack of support characters in Battleborn.

Had fun as Miko though.

I have chronic gallstones and sludge but when I asked if there would be a point of removing it they said no, won't do any good.

I've had 7 pancreatitis attacks due to blockage so I dunno. On the other hand I have an otherwise healthy friend who got hers removed quickly. Seems incredibly much based on whatever doctor you're talking to here...

I just need another four PVE games as Rath to unlock Ambra!

Shit system.

Im not sure what her command Rank required is but my advice is play Meltdown or do Voids Edge since they are the fastest PvP and Story missions, also go for the large money caches on the maps and just constantly buy buildables you get alot of command XP for that (in PVP)

Echo

Rank 14 for Ambra.

Well the meeting hasn't happened yet but both frequency and peak severity have increased and my attacks are way longer than is apparently standard. The worst one was 11 hours.

I'm in decent shape with a decent diet too, though many medical discomforts hit me frequently.

There doesn't seem to be too much of a downside (The bladder doesn't produce, it regulates flow only, they hook up the duct into your intestines and most people don't even notice) and maybe there's medication that helps because the stones are small but we'll see.

on the subject of the intersection of art and pornography man there's lotsa sex and nudity in these film festival movies I'm going to

one of the short films ended with graphic shot of one of the main characters masturbating and it wasn't, like, simulated or nothing

anyway i am all in favor of weird art house porn but i guess the audience member who loudly exclaimed "oh no not another sex film" disagrees

i mean sure the sexual repression in us society is pretty ridiculous

but it's one thing to be into some kind of erotica and another to just crassly broadcast it to everyone and their mom in the internet equivalent of a busy street

it's, just, i don't know, classless

I like how this post is essentially "the sexual repression in american society is pretty ridiculous/but I am, as an american, sexually repressed" :P

I don't know, I guess?

I am willing to talk sex and stuff with friends but I am not going to lead off with it as a topic with a complete stranger

TThere are also times and places for it?

Orphane

You could also point and laugh at Americans for being so backwards, I guess

I had mine out about 4 years ago. Changed very little of my diet or how I feel. It was an outpatient surgery. Went in at 6 am, got drugged and it was removed. I was home by noon sitting on the couch relaxing. Recovery time was super short.

As far as losing organs go it was the easiest experience I have had.

As if the Telegraph readership aren't going to want it back in tax breaks for the hard-working middle classes.

Today I realized that I don't have to shave large portions of my face anymore.

You guys have no idea how happy that makes me. It's mainly just the area under my chin and near the tops of my ears.

We could use that money to pay for sorting out visas to keep most of our current NHS staff

Two surgeries removing parts of my intestines due to Crohn's.

No appendix.

So 2 and some?
