The problem is that the ring is useless as a cock ring, as it adjusts to the user's size for a nice comfortable fit, and that piece is specifically about the pressure (I think?)

Well, there'd be a grinder of some sort, at the very least.

This would have been awesome. I would have finished Sherman's work.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

The problem with sharing a playlist with a partner is that sometimes you go from Kendrick Lamar's D.N.A. to "Maria" from the Sound of Music. (She added Kendrick, the showtune was my addition - how *DO* you solve a problem like Maria?)

Remember during the first Trump Admin they tried to keep track of all the lies Trump told? Do they even bother any more? They just let him get away with it? He claimed not to know who Vought was or what Project 2025 was less than a year ago.

Trump: ‘I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left

I think the Catholic Church's stance is that Don Draper meme: "I don't think of you at all."

I was briefly considering watching the CP vs. Liverpool match this morning but didn't feel like being the only Palace fan in the literal Liverpool bar in Buffalo. Regretting it now.

Gantz claims that recognition of Palestine is an affront to the 'democratically determined consensus' of the State of Israel which rejects such a state's existence.

Israel rules over 5,000,000 people who do not have the right to vote.

The real question is whether the international community will respect the overwhelming consensus, a declaration passed last year by 99 of 120 members of the Knesset in a democracy proclaiming that “Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a Palestinian State,” and that “such action following Oct. 7 would be an unprecedented rewarding of terror and prevent any future peace arrangement.”

Benny Gantz with an op-ed in the New York Times today in which he openly states that opposition to Palestinian statehood is at the heart of the national consensus of the Israeli body politic, something that virtually all Israeli Jews agree with Netanyahu on.

There are deep political divisions and disagreements in Israel. I myself have been a vocal critic of Mr. Netanyahu. But the nation’s core security interests are not partisan property. Today more than ever, they are anchored by a national consensus that is rooted in the hard realities of our region. Opposition to the recognition of Palestinian statehood stands at the heart of that consensus. Any path forward for broader Palestinian civil autonomy must first incorporate a proven long-term track record of accountable governance, comprehensive de-radicalization reforms and a successful crackdown on terror elements targeting Israelis.

Weird, I was told this vote "meant nothing" and was merely symbolic, and yet here it is being used to justify Israeli apartheid by the so-called liberal "opposition" to Likud hardliners.

Weird, I was told this vote by the Knesset "meant nothing" and was just symbolic, and here it is being used by the supposed Netanyahu "opposition" to continue to justify Israeli apartheid as they rule over 5m people who have no vote.

There's already a line that goes from downtown to UB South, just need to expand that. Fill in the 33 IMO.

It's kinda sad that everyone (mostly) agrees we should nix the 190 to develop the waterfront, but people don't really care about restoring the largely black East Side by nixing the 33.

The amount of right wingers talking about stochastic terrorism in the past week as if they just coined the phrase is peak Bizarro World. Truly the most delusional people to ever live.

Fox News' Marc Thiessen, without a hint of irony: "Imagine if – we didn’t see this on the right, but imagine if after the George Floyd killing, people had gone on in saying he was a POS and that I’m glad he's dead... do you think anybody would have employed them ever again?!"

Guy at my gym was like "I don't know any of [Kirk's] politics, but I heard Josh is donating $400m to his cause after his death so he must have been a good guy" and I was like, "please think for one [1] second."

Hopefully it's FB slop & there's no truth to Josh donating but it certainly isn't $400m.

WoW is a weird one, it's like you forged your guild mates/friends a decade and a half ago and that's it. Everything weirdly insulat since then. Still talk to guildies from TBC even though none of us play anymore, was in countless top 50 guilds from MoP on who I haven't ever heard from. Quit in DF.
