Filling the whole american tornado route with cement igloos would looks pretty darn cool though. Especially the derserty parts.

It already kinda looks like it out in New Mexico. Just boxier.

 Just found out today that I'm super into submissive women. O.o Dunno how that never came up before but it totally did today.

Here's your membership card, welcome to the Patriarchy.

That's actually a good point. Are we conditioned to prefer power over submission?

Not at all. Plenty of submissives out there, far more than you'd expect if we were conditioned to prefer being the dominating party. It's just a facet of your personality and sexuality.

I find that while I like/am attracted to strong women, at the end of the day I really just want one I can dominate.

I am a very dominating personality, and the dynamic of even my work relationships reflects this.  My immediate boss is female, and she constantly reminds me that I do dominating things.  Simple things like buying an eraser for her/their dry erase board, or doing small parts of her job, or even ignoring her on occasion.

Its not quite intentional, but I wonder if it isn't because of her being a female . . .

yo i'm verse why are the last five posts blank?

I kinda thought it was clear this is about the USA specifically. I should have written "if people (in the USA) were shopping for themselves"

ChairmanPoo is Spanish (as in, Iberian), and IIRC, works in Britain right now.

Why would anyone think you were talking about specifically American when the guy you were accusing of accepting kickbacks from Big Pharma is not, uh, American?

That's why I - already mentioned - right near the start that I wasn't talking about Europe.

But GSK talking medical practitioners out for an expensive meal is an attempt at kickbacks, they just can't be as blatant about it as they can in the USA. The fact that she identified herself as a representative of GSK and is providing perks is enough: that's marketing. It cannot be mere coincidence that GSK is doing something over there that sounds identical to things that have been banned in some states such as California because they influence American doctors.

For example, one of the current things is that some US state law now bans pharma company reps from giving doctor's meals at conferences, because studies show that giving even one expensive free meal can influence doctor's prescription habits.

This is the exact scenario ChairmanPoo described. I construed it to be the same, because it's exactly the same. GSK does the same marketing tactics in the USA, and gets slammed for them. I'm not going to assume that when GSK appears to be doing the exact same things in Europe, it's pure as the driven snow, because "Europe". The company is the same, and doctors are still individuals, capable of being influenced by the same tactics, and the tactics are the same.

That feeling when you eat an entire city because you wont give up and then lose the siege.

That feeling when you left your personal seal in your other pants and can't find a pen.

Good point.

Also, I hope you're doing okay, your last few posts have been kinda less coherent.

Every time i see a picture of someone holding a baby turtle on imgur or something, i immediately think about that dream i had where i picked one up and accidentally squished it, and found out it was literally full of fresh, reeking dog shit. But at the same time theyre adorable. But disgusting. And not just baby turtles all the time, but when someone mentions turtle soup (cooking mushed turtle in its own shell) i still think of a turtle shell full of shit before anything else. Because of a dream. A dream that i know has no basis in reality. But my subconscious is convinced turtles are made of dog shit.

How the fuck does this happen!?

Um no, not quite. It somehow came up in a conversation with a woman and I had a revelation.

Also the second thing. Baal get some sleep and don't run yourself into the ground.

[Kagus]

Because we are incredibly impressionable beings, and dreams can leave extremely strong impressions due to the fact that they don't have to play by the rules of observe-process-respond. Not only is the dream's content free game, but the way you react to it while sleeping is also unburdened by rational conditioning.

As for dom/sub, there's a cliché that men are supposed to be dominant and women to be submissive. However, the reality really is just personal preference. I've known very strong women with strong personalities who very much enjoyed taking a (very) submissive role in the bedroom, and I know my girlfriend who thinks she's a sub but will only allow me to be a dom in specifically the way she wants. And I know myself, who really wishes we could just be equals and leave the power game out of it.

[Rowanas]

Woo! Switch here!  I think I only learnt to be dominant because my (now ex wife) preferred it, and at my core I crave the approval of others, so I did it to make her happy.  At some point during the last decade of practice I think it stuck, but it's still pretty situational.

I  conflated blank rounds with ravioli at some point in my childhood and despite the impossibility of what I imagined, I got the idea that blanks were square. It was never tested and I learnt the truth before I dramatically embarrassed myself.  In my defence, I was 7 or 8 and my knowledge of firearms was pretty poor.  I suspect it happened because I was eating ravioli and meatballs when a news report about a bloke being killed with a blank was on the news.
