CEPS Well Hung Parliament (CEPS Social/Off Topic)

GOP tradition is NOT Christian or moral fundamentalism (you can't claim the slavery high ground AND create a new Jim Crow, either). That was a strategy in '80s to win the Evangelical bloc, which prior had treated politics as something the godly should avoid. Can we start a movement to bring that attitude back?

My guess for the name is just branding, alt-right being all about media. Cause really, if you're under like, seventy, do you want to watch FOx all day and call yourself convservative? OK, How about under thirty, and like Ms. Mr. Gravy said, not Evangelical? A lot of kids do call themselves conservatve, but in the cities it's too associated with country hick-music and chewing tobacco. Lots of under 30 would die before calling themselves Democrats, they just vote straight D ticket. We 40yo do the same thing, but we have well-thought-out reasons . . . .

Scrof, I cannot tell if you're intentionally calling people women to be rude, or you just made an honest mistake..
 
Honest mistake, really, didn't mean anything by it, don't use stuff like that as an insult, not trying to make any points, not being snarky or sarcastic. Who else have I been missing?
 
nothing wrong with that. And Mr. Gravy, I think I realized the confusion (and this is simply association, it means nothing): in my head your nom de forum, cream gravy (thankfully blocked of sexual connotations) after seeing you say you were "southern" in the statue thread, went straight to Paula Deen. I don't know if that makes it better or worse that I heard her voice in your posts. My subconscious is working on a new one.

I still hear some high pitched girly thing with kitiekat5 and I've seen his penis. Because kittie kat.
 
When I was willow11, I'm quite sure people assumed I had a uterus.

For the first day in literally weeks, I've been relatively calm and anxiety free. I feel more decisive, less ennui and aimless angst. Sometimes I hate my brain, today I've gotten it working. Sort of. I think not smoking pot everyday helps.

Do you smoke Scrof? What's your DOC?
 
Weird that in my meth-soaked brain at 3am that sounded . . . seductive. But then everything does to the meth-soaked brain.

I don't want to pick a DOC just yet, since there's still a few more to try. But even then, how much time do you need to spend with a substance to truly know its ways? Even booze takes years to discover it's quasi-psychedelic abilities, before you're arrested or your pancreas explodes.

Yeah, i know, cop out. Since February, daily meth user. All ROA but IV (yet). Most up my nose, smoking between sinus explosions, up my ass when I need a big shot right now. And have somewhere I can tickle my ears with my feet. And more and more I just chew.

In that time I've slowly emptied a single pint of Takaa vodka, kept as an emergency anti-meth freakout serum.

But before that I was a professional drunk. Serious suicidal drunkeness for a good two years, ER frequent flyer, scraped off Oakland pavement. Three inpatient rehabs and two county detoxes, none of them voluntary. But this'll turn into a drunkalog, so if anyone wants drunk bona fides for some reason, they can PM. I'll share.

But I always said booze was just cheap available oblivion. Not my DOC. Is meth? Maybe.

I have a tough time with weed, sadly. I miss it from when it was good, as a teenager. Too much effort to get through the trips, usually.

Maybe gabapentin.


And somehow I've never picked up any kind of opioid problem. So far.
 
Good re: non opiate habit. I'm pretty stuck on that shit, but am taking bupe as maintenance therapy now, getting shit under control.

Its been years since I've taken meth. I do like dexamp though. But am avoiding it atm, too much other shit to add to this mess.

I just wish I could sleep more than four hours these days. Makes me feel so scattered. :|
 
It's all good Scrof, no worries. You can hear my internet voice however you like :o

I picked the name because when I was a kid and guitar hero had just come out, my cousin had named his virtual band 'Cream Gravy?' and just the very thought of the laughter it induced in him to name a band as such brings a chuckle and a smile to my face.
 
Thanks for understanding, and the question mark is what makes it. Personally, I think it's meant only for biscuits, but a little cream never hurts any gravy. (That and I thought your avatar was a sheep or maybe a possum; sheep being feminine to me .for some reason)

Anyway, someone who chose a name that sounds like "scrotum" is not one to judge handles or much of anything.

(PS: I was torn about "apologizing" by my inner feminist, since technically, being mistaken for female isn't an insult or anything, but not apologizing means you're an asshole, and then I choked on the burning bra fumes and passed out.)
 
Don't think meth has ever really took off in the UK,if it has then I must have been living under a rock,probably wishing I could get more than 5 hours solid sleep a night,I used to be able to sleep half the day away when i was much younger,nothing helps me sleep like I used to be able to nowadays,guess I'm lucky to get that extra hour than swillow does with their 4 hours a night.Dont even know what my DOC is any more,was weed,booze doesn't do it for me any longer,benzos maybe,currently on methadone script,just aint the same but glad away from all the chaos of the street stuff.
 
I'm genuinely curious; in this PC climate where it's offensive to call a non-binary person a woman if they look, act, and dress like a woman, wouldn't it be offensive to be called a woman if you identify as male? Or vice-versa for that matter?

Perhaps I only took offense because in grade school, people often accused me of homosexuality. While I have no trouble proving my manhood now, and I sleep next to my beautiful fiance every night, it was stressful and traumatic. Some part of me is still that young man trying to express his masculinity to the world.

Why not reject the rigid gender role that "masculinity" defines?
 
I like to think I do to some capacity, but honestly it's hard to be objective with one's self.
 
Sorry, see I can apologize for making you feel bad. Hey, I was hairy and my balls dropped early, so I was taller than the other boys, and got out of that period unscathed, but I taught myself to crochet and threw a ball in way not appropriate for my cis-gender role, to give you an idea where I come from (I do not sew though). I know it's a sensitive topic, didn't mean to double insult either (never mean to insult anyone usually, just broad classes of people for thinking wrong).

I caught myself on a separate site, writing a truly masterful snark-filled bon mot about Ann Coulter, when I realized that referring to her Adam's Apple was just another pointless sexist thing (or anti-trans). I mean, I can say plenty about who she is without mentioning that, and if she was trans, or a cross-dresser, that might make here interesting, it's not something to hold against her. I mean, if she was real to begin with, and not a synthetic-skinned cybernetic organism. It just made me watch for those elsewhere, and saw a lot of guys throw out girly insults at each other, thought of the what's wrong about being mistaken for one anyway? resolve not to do that or apologize for it, and wind up accidentally insulting others in the process, for which I am sorry. Then try to explain it and sound more insane.

I think that is easier said than done. Men have a very distinct and all encompassing idea about being a man. I read that men have a much larger area of the brain dedicated to gender identity than women. I mean, look at what we do in the world- except instead of drunken brawls and sore knuckles, its nuclear weapons and standing armies.

I've struggled with it. I was never into sport much to my father's disgust, but I did find myself trying to be the bad boy type in my teens and twenties, and 'rebelling' by doing stupid things like breaking stuff and graffiti and fighting and going to jail. Like I needed to show the world I didn't give a fuck, come and get me. I was still a scared little boy I suppose. Nowadays, I really don't care but I attribute that to simply growing and realising there is really no such thing as being a man, beyond the genitals.
 
I think demonstration is the key: adolescents and bros need to display their virility, the suitability of their semen, to gathering co-eds.

This often involves yelling and property damage, multiple noise complaints, after-market car accessories and poor guitar utilization. Surviving falls from great heights due to one's lethal ethanol concentration is considered by some females to be the Ideal. Only a truly stunning specimen could have that much time and resources devoted to training his metabolism and nervous system to handle such a toxic situation. The lesser males attempt minor pratfalls and gymnastics on bulk beverage barrels, to lukewarm response from the females.

I had more of the stoic philosophical training in my rise to omicron or upsilon status (I forget, but know that betas are like some 4chan virgins or something, as though that needs a distinction), it was an unspoken etiquette that applied no matter how gay you were, although that made the ideal look of Steve McQueen in Bullett (last line from a co-ed: "Don't you feel anything at all?" Correct answer: say nothing) a little harder.

But I still had to put down the graphing calculator and flash the world with my engorged testicles, just by proxy (stories withheld on advice of counsel). So I believe it is testosterone that compels young men to promote their "manliness", and likewise defend it to death; coming last in those battles would mean being ostracized and left to rot in a beta MRA group. The threat is very real, and I'm sorry for the cortisol spike, Mr. Gravy?.

The key is to wait until you've locked down a mate for a couple years, then you can flash your doilies everywhere, as I did, so prematurely.
