Nancy Martin36, it’s quite obvious

Why did it traumatize you? What kind of trauma are we actually talking about?
Pornography can certainly be used as a tool for building something.

I don't think that's quite right.
He produced some truly incredible documentaries exploring sexuality within American culture.

I am genuinely curious to see how you'll perceive Nancy, considering there's about a thirty-year gap between your perspective and mine.

Quincy:

I don't know what to make of this. Just "baobab." Is that it? No context, no follow-up, just a single word dropped into the void like a random thought from a fever dream. I'm sitting here staring at my screen trying to figure out if we're suddenly starting a botanical society or if someone just had a very specific craving for African fruit. If you've got more to say, lay it on me. Don't leave me hanging. kaže: Of course, I went in thinking it would follow that whole "name implies the thing" rule—you know, expecting the book to be nothing but pure smut. But if I recall correctly, the actual plot had absolutely zero to do with the title.

How can you say it isn't? You’ve got a novel within a novel here—Mickey Grabar hands it over to Stanislav to look after right before he heads off to the States. The history of pornography.I mean, look at his handwriting. Just... look at it. 😁

She took the raw fantasies of both men and women and distilled them into books. It was the kind of stuff you could never say out loud in polite company back then. At the time, it felt like a genuine sexual revolution. I can still vividly remember that sense of sheer, unbridled tension in the air.

Morning, everyone. I’m crashing into this thread like a skydiver without a parachute.
Back when I was in high school, a librarian let me in on the works of Nancy Friday. I have no idea how we even ended up on the same wavelength, but the woman certainly knew her craft. She hit on both subjects I was obsessed with: sexuality and psychology.

Feel free to tell him you love him almost as much as I do. Why are you being so defensive and acting out?🙂

Just wanted to put it out there that I’m selling a dual-axle trailer if anyone happens to be looking.🥳 Just to be clear, it isn't rated for a tractor.
Also, if you run into Anthony, let him know I need someone to line my pool. The whole works.🥳

Here you go, Rosie. You can tell everyone in town you were cruising in a Lamborghini if you want to brag a little.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.🙂

Oh, please...
If it isn't John Deere, I'm not interested. That's the gold standard.🥳

That is precisely why I am inquiring about the tractor brand.

🕺
I mean, what would it even be? It’s my fertile window, let's not play games here...

But seriously, you total idiot, what kind of tractor do you actually have? I need to know the brand....🥳

😢
Well, you know how it goes... stay classy.😢

Kudos to her.👋
Even the farm girl didn't raise an eyebrow. Good grief, this is just plain irrational now. There wasn't even a prelude last time.🤣

Honestly, I’d be out there on a tractor right about now too.

It looks like you're typing everything in lowercase, friend. Don't take it personally; he just wasn't in the room when we learned how to use proper grammar.
And yeah, he skips the accents too. He’s always preferred keeping things simple, I guess.

There’s just no way. Tudum has this distinct, retro vibe to him. 7 feels too clinical and detached—it lacks that sensual touch. There is zero chance he's going to turn the story into some lyrical mess.🥳
Besides, the guy understands construction better than Mara knows what I shouldn't say in public.😉
Vuce, I think you're being overly sensitive here. Not every cyclist is gay.😉 It sounds like you're just struggling with pride and old prejudices. But you missed the mark: 7 is more like Robocop, while Tudum is definitely the Robin Hood type.

I'm just copying and pasting this from another thread so I don't repeat myself:
Religious studies could easily be handled through Mass once or twice a month, or perhaps during special holidays before First Communion or Confirmation, like it used to be. That would be perfectly fine. But today, we have a massive workforce of religious instructors with guaranteed jobs, while the overly pious crowd refuses to pull their kids out of school because they don't want them missing Confirmation. Consequently, children end up stuck in these classes against their will just because that’s what their parents demand. It is rare for any parent to actually let their kid choose; we are still in those traditionalist circles, after all. To make matters worse, you have to opt out before the current school year ends to change electives for the next one. On top of that, some of these lectures feel completely contradictory to modern culture and common sense. They teach kids that certain forms of exercise or Eastern cultural traditions are basically satanic. It's absurd. It honestly feels like they are inviting backwardness back through the front door.
So, kids spend eight hours a week in religious studies for eight years straight just so they can go through Confirmation and get some jewelry, a new phone, or whatever else is thrown at them, eventually entering a holy marriage that they’ll likely divorce at the first opportunity when things aren't "clicking." All of this happens instead of giving those hours back to Art, Shop, Music, or finally making Computer Science a mandatory subject. Instead, kids who actually want to take Comp Sci end up filling their schedules with random electives in different shifts, all because of some shady deal between the Vatican and our local politicians that makes religion the number one elective.
If I haven't instilled moral principles in my children through my own upbringing, no specific curriculum is going to shove them into their heads. I have nothing against faith—in fact, I am a believer—but I find the institutional Church quite repulsive. It’s just a bunch of corrupt, greedy individuals who take and take and are never satisfied. Instead of focusing on their relics or social empathy issues, they've pivoted toward meddling in politics, all while hiding behind their sanctity.
A pack of hypocrites.

Should we be thanking the Church for "carefully" guarding knowledge and books in monasteries for monks while denying it to the masses? And then, after more than a thousand years, they mercifully decided to finally establish schools and even universities? As if they were the only ones capable of it, while everyone else was kept in the dark. Not just regarding knowledge, but basic literacy itself.

The herd needs to be kept in check and made more submissive; they aren't doing this for the people, they are doing it for themselves.

Give me a break. Religious studies should be moved out of public schools and back into churches, where they belong. It’s ridiculous that kids are losing out on computer science because religious instruction is being treated as more important. Even art classes—which are huge for a kid's development—have been slashed to just two block periods a month, yet they get two full hours of religion every week. And half the time, you have these old-school instructors teaching them things like how yoga is somehow sinister.
And let's not forget, kids who don't participate in those classes aren't even looked after properly; they end up feeling totally sidelined, and the scheduling is a mess since it isn't always the first or last period of the day.

To help the moderators better grasp how our niche community regulars behave, take a look at this:

It’s frankly bordering on senility, though I won't go so far as to question their professional competence.

Who’s the third one?🤔
Ah, Red Judo.
:blond:

For heaven's sake, now you've gone and found time to hook up? I'm sitting here waiting in bed, and they're probably going to start thinking I'm seeing someone else.😢
