I really miss Limbaugh.

Me too.

That is cool, I always liked that song.

Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise the voting age to 25. Generally speaking, that’s out of school and having worked a few years.

I’d vote for that.

Wonderful video of how the Saturn V worked, if you are a rocket engineering nerd.
There’s a whole other video somewhere just about the control system.

The whole thing is just really frickin cool.  How they steered, with the technology at the time. How they cooled the nozzles, everything.   Just amazing.

Vagina Spreader?  It only took me 70 years to hear about that. 

It’s a “dilator”.  Basically a dildo.  They have to regularly insert it into the “neo-vagina” or it will close up because it’s not a real vagina designed by God (nature) to stay patent, but a creation out of non-vaginal tissue which the body knows isn’t supposed to be there and is trying to heal shut.

These people are insane to do this to themselves.  Apparently a large proportion of them lose the ability to have an orgasm at all.  And to add insult to injury almost no straight male will want them.  Their dating pool is limited to other trans and if they are attracted to males that means female to male trans with phalloplasty (a “penis” constructed out of arm or thigh muscle which has no erectile ability except via an artificial mechanism).

Even given all of that, some true trans still want the surgery and are satisfied with the result but it is unconscionable to do this to kids or even young adults in my opinion.  They simply aren’t mature enough to understand the long term consequences and I’ll bet anything they aren’t told the real facts.  If you imagine you are going to be a “straight woman” with a wide open dating pool of “cis” men, you are deluding yourself. These trans “women” may never get to experience sex with an actual XY male with a naturally functional penis. 

If normal sex from the female perspective is your goal, better to keep it in fantasy land. But if you hate your “package” so much that you want it gone and you fully understand the consequences, go for it, but I’d wait til you’re in your thirties to be sure. And in that case you might be better off with the type surgery that just creates the external female appearance but doesn’t try to make a “vagina”.


Whoops… this is the joke thread.   Sorry.  Carry on.

Catholics, anybody who sings the national anthem, parents at school board meetings, and people who think there are only two genders.  These are the most dangerous terrorist threats to our democracy!
