It was the stories! There is so much variety here that there is actually some good writing among the loads of crummy stuff. Thank god for the moderators.

Biden was so obviously impaired during that debate that it dampened any remaining enthusiasm in liberal leaning younger people. If he remained on the ticket turnout would have been wrecked. Harris on the ticket will turn out more dependable Democratic voters who would otherwise think ‘Why should I drag myself to the polling place we’re doomed?’. Then the whole D ticket including Senate and House races would be in more danger than ever. Most liberal leaning voters do think Harris has a better chance than Biden even if it’s only a few points.
At least with a Harris ticket there will be better Democratic turnout and better House and Senate results even if we end up with the Donald anyway.
I think it was that chapter of The Godfather where Sonny is screwing the girl with the giant pussy problem with his giant dick. It got passed around in summer camp.
I had to give up Taekwondo due to a knee problem. Still incorporate some kickboxing moves (without the spins) into workouts.
‘Wow you’re pretty down there.’ I was flabbergasted. At that point in my life I didn’t realize ‘down there’ could be pretty.
I have good skin so I look a good deal younger than I am unless I had a bad night’s sleep. On Zoom no one can tell how old I am. My body looks pretty good too, at least lying down. Standing up, I don’t like the wrinkly knees.

Ironic hit the nail on the head.
The analysis purports to tease out of the data political predispositions towards murder.
At its base (when excluding the murders from only one of the cities), it combines whatever differences there may be between Democrat and Republican tendencies in all the other cities.
If the goal is to distinguish assumed different predispositions between Democrats and Republicans to murder, then those groups should be measured.
Those different groups were not measured in the red states.
The goal is not just to measure predispositions to murder by individuals. It’s also to Look at policy impact on murder rates due to state and local laws drawn up by politicians running those states. Blue states tend to have more gun control. If letting everyone have guns everywhere without background checks (or barely any) was such a good policy and the good guys with guns all shoot the bad guys with guns as a result, then the red states would be way ahead. They are not.
I love rail. Rode it all over Europe. We have a card that gives us Amtrak miles and now we never drive to NYC. The reason we don’t have good rail in the US comes down to corruption. Originally by the car companies with politicians and now with fossil fuel and politicians.
Although it’s easy and convenient, I would avoid using AI generated art and altered photos. The AI training programs have stolen content from artists. There have been a number of lawsuits. People's livelihoods are being erased.

RFK is rather nutty about vaccines. I wonder if there is a dark money pro-measles lobby?
I like a buildup. Even a slow burn. It makes the sex scenes more enjoyable. So, I prefer 4-6k length.
Maybe he’ll convince his base they need to donate to Russia to finish off Ukraine and invade Finland.
I love a slow burn. If the characters are interesting I can wait a whole novel for the sex. I have to say no sex at all is disappointing if there is sexual tension between characters. I just read an interesting Mexican Gothic and I was hoping the handsome priest would renounce his vows and do the widow. Oh well.
I have not posted a story in a long time, but I’ve noticed a shift in culture on the site since it changed to more of a social media platform. There has been an increase in the proportion of male vs female readership. I appreciate our quality authors male and female. You know who you are (mostly!). Comment counts on stories with female-appearing authors are not always proportional to story quality. A comment from another author you like is worth much more than ‘That was hot’ from someone with a bare bones profile.
I love to visit the west coast of the US and for many years I had California dreams. Then my west coast friends started living through a lot more heat waves (even in Oregon) wildfires, drought and earthquakes. The east coast is my home and I’m feeling lucky to live here. Although I won’t be buying any beach front property, there is a lot to explore on this coast.
There’s a French movie called ‘The Lover’. The male lead is a young Chinese man having an affair with a teenaged white girl. That guy is very sexy.

Many white colloquial workers rarely go to the office. This saves a lot of $$ and time. I still go in sometimes for a change of scene.
What kind of autocorrect changes ‘collar’ to ‘colloquial’? I must have been sleep-posting.

I like the sounds a lot. I love the fact the he is out of control. That is a huge turn on. The sperm itself, not as interesting.
The incredibly hot girl with the ugly nerdy guy. Unless it’s obvious parody, or the guy is loaded, it’s been written by a male.
It throws me when a story in a non-hardcore category makes an un-signaled left turn into uncomfortable stuff like choking and gagging on cock.
We watch porn frequently. I dislike some of the same sort of gross stuff others have complained about. High heels are sexy but once you are naked take them off too.
I get off on porn when I can imagine myself in the woman’s place. If she is doing something I would find very uncomfortable it isn’t stimulating. If she seems like she is really enjoying herself (and faking can be pretty obvious) that is a turn on via empathetic response. I also like to when both the men and women make some natural sounds. Many men hardly make a sound but an involuntary groan from a man is something I find very sexy.
Very boring. T shirt or pajama top with panties. Usually cute panties though.
She fell in love with a podiatrist and he knocked her socks off.
‘Left’ and ‘Right’ mean different things to different people. Most people think of ‘Left’ as entailing cultural liberalism and socialistic economics with Right being a combination of religious conservatism and Laissez-Faire capitalism. However, most politically ‘Left-leaning’ developed countries have a mixture of social liberalism and Laissez-faire capitalism with a smattering of social welfare programs like universal health care. Most right leaning developed countries have a combination of corrupt corporate welfare and authoritarian policies.
The U.S. is right leaning no matter what party is in power. The corporate welfare is going strong and we have the weakest social welfare programs of the G7. The U.S. is not authoritarian yet, but we could slip into it if we keep gerrymandering our way out of democracy. Tyrants are voted into power by minorities who work the system. Power begets more power when the politicians pick their voters rather than vice versa.
