  • I worked at a horrible restaurant almost 30 years ago run by an obnoxious Spanish man who would not let you have butter for bread, and once when a guest sat on his crappy plastic chair and it broke turned around and put it on his bill. He would follow you around and fuss at you for stupid things, and he liked to follow one waiter named Ken around and criticize his table wiping. “Meestar Ken, that ees not how you do it, first you spray, DEN wipe”.

    Finally he did this one too many times, and Ken looked at him and said “get fucked you fat Spaniard, I already got a new job”, and left just before the dinner rush.




  • Read one of the ask Reddit threads about “secrets of the porn industry”. Other than rampant abuse of the talent, addiction, etc, which the industry is rife with, there’s simple facts about the mechanics of it; people who have worked in porn say that there is nothing that smells worse than a porn movie set, and the industry would shut down if you smelled it, and how often there are “accidents” with anal scenes, etc.

    I watched an amateur gang bang video once just to see if I liked it better and it was even more depressing, the woman was just kneeling there looking dazed and like she was a million miles away.


















  • I’m a practicing Christian and go to church every week. I also think homophobes are shitheads who don’t deserve the love and mercy of God.

    The biblical scholar Walter Bruggeman wrote a great essay on the interpretation of homophobic biblical verses that is really good (https://outreach.faith/2022/09/walter-brueggemann-how-to-read-the-bible-on-homosexuality/).

    But also just plain old have some common sense that the people of the ancient world didn’t have the same insight we do into human attraction and sexuality, and we can grow and evolve and know better. Also, even if you don’t agree with people being queer, you also have the ability to shut your mouth about it and keep it to yourself, and be the loving Christian you profess to be no matter what your personal beliefs are, and you have no right to tell people who to love, period.
