Wholesome 8===D

Deaf Frat Guy was picking "Ms. Delta Fu" on the last episode of The Adam Carolla Show (adamcarollablog) and some dizzy candidate described herself as a "MILPH" that stands for "Mother In Life, Passion, and Health." She's part of a group of women trying to "get away" from the "derogatory" term MILF (Mom I'd Like to Fuck).

Ironically, becoming a MILPH means you are no longer a MILF, just a MILSTFU.

Part of the attraction of MILFs (and cougars) is that they're willingly putting themselves in a buyer's market. You don't have to take a MILF out to dinner. You don't have to listen to MILFs talk about "life," their (non-sexual) "passions" or their "health" (passed knowing that they're not a MWHIV). In return MILFs get to sleep with someone 20 years younger than them with 10x the stamina of men in their age-group. For that same reason, both parties involved know the relationship isn't (and really couldn't) go anywhere. You don't have to worry about marriage, commitment, meeting eachother's family on Thanksgiving, or impressing them, you just get to have freaky no-strings-attached sex.

This whole MILPH thing completely ruins that attraction. If you're a MILPH, then you're just (at best) a good-looking older woman living up in her head with cliche advice you heard on Oprah. If you want to be a MILPH, how about instead you just focus on being an 'M' (e.g. mother) and instead of posting pictures of yourself in underwear on the Internet trying to prove something or get over whatever insecurities you're dealing with -- focus that energy on being a good parent. Be caring, nurturing, do what you can to love your kids and take care of your family.

Just don't give your sons or daughters relationship advice, because you obviously don't understand the first fucking thing about them.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. All of the people in to these sects in 1987 seem exactly like the same people that are involved in them today.

As an atheist, I'm ambivalent to most kind of religions that overall don't harm the rest of society. It's really only the extremist organizations that I think something needs to be done about. Though, religion can also be very entertaining.

The best part I think is about 25 minutes in when a guy goes through a ritual of becoming a witch.

As far as I can tell, becoming a witch basically means that you run around in the woods naked while some chick calls you a goofy name. Then you hang out with some pasty naked people, and an old guy makes out with the chick who was calling you a goofy name. If you can survive those things, then you are wise and ready to become a witch.

Addressing bias in clip art provided with popular software
Temple Dennett, J.
RDD Consultants, Bolder, CO;

Abstract
Does language reflect psychological reality, or does it form psychological reality? In other words, does the language we use to discuss something determine our attitudes toward that thing? Feminist literature has made much of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which asserts that linguistic bias is a cause rather than a symptom of social bias (F.W. Frank and P.A. Tretchler, 1989; F.J. Newmayer, 1986). However, conflicting views do exist on the direction of influence. The article discusses a recent study published by M.A. Dyrud illustrating a clear gender bias in computer clip art (see Business Commun. Quart., vol.60, no.4, p.30-51, 1997). Dyrud argues that if language, as a symbol system, both reflects and invents our reality, the same can be said of another symbol system, that of visual images. If the images are predominantly one gender, they may reflect cultural mores, but at the same time they help to sustain those beliefs by shaping our concept of what is real. Her study examines more than 14000 images in Windows based programs. She found that gender bias does exist in available visuals. In addition to a bias in presentation, clip art is also a man's world in terms of sheer numbers of images. Of 14108 images, there were three times as many male as female. The attitude of available images also differs: male figures-often of athletic build with full heads of hair-are usually in motion; female figures are usually standing, waiting, or even posing fashion-model style.

... I'm sifting through the incessent flux of novelty on the internet. I wanted to find out a little more about Terence McKenna, who I mentioned in a paper I wrote on Synesthesia. He argued that drug induced synesthesia (experiences where one sense modality causes a perception in another -- like tasting words or seeing sounds) is resposible for the development of language.

Though, I found his conclusion unlikely since the statistics I found (admittedly they weren't collected very scientifically) showed only 54.1% of the survey respondents who took psychedlic drugs experienced any kind of synesthesia, and of those people less experienced any kind of "language inducing form" (sounds to shapes) that our anestors would have needed to experience frequently. If only a similar percentages of our ancestors had the same experience, why can nearly 100% of us use language? He also fails to explain why our ancestors wouldn't have developed Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD), which wouldn't have been a set of adaptive behaviors.

This quote is from rotten.com's library article on Terence McKenna, that cites him saying it in an essay that they didn't name and I couldn't find.

We wouldn't be here if it weren't for psychedelic drugs. In terms of the role of psilocybin in human evolution on the grasslands of Africa, people not on drugs were behind the curve. The fact is that, in terms of human evolution, people not on psychedelics are not fully human. They've fallen to a lower state, where they're easily programmed, boundary defined, obsessed by sexual possessiveness which is transferred into fetishism and object obsession. We don't want too many citizens asking where the power and the money really goes. Informed by psychedelics, people might stop saluting. 'Take your political party, your job, whatever, and shove it.'

Terence McKenna is a perfect example of everything that was wrong with the 60's.

I've never done any psychedelic drug in my entire life, and I've spent a very significant portion of it wondering where the money and power is going. I'd imagine the same was true for Terence before he started taking drugs.

The 60's have left modern young progessives like me with the nearly intractable problem of trying to seperate the good sane ideas popularized in that era from the insanity they were entangled with at the same time. The legacy of the 60's is what causes the naive romanticism in so much of our culture for pathological people and behaviors. It's why the left can't get its shit together to effectively organize. It's why moderates have every right to call us the "looney left," because there's plenty of lunatics in the left (though to be fair, there's plenty of lunatics in the far right too -- yes, I'm talking to you Alex Jones).

Look, everybody -- let's stop this cult-like hero worship of people like Terence McKenna (and Abbie Hoffman, and Hunter S. Thompson -- physcially healthy people who commit suicide aren't heros no matter how much you liked their books) who are really just a slightly less meglomanical then Jim Jones.

Or maybe if you asked a simpler question like: "Hey, why are we so focused on sex, and less on what we can do to help poor single mothers?" The honest answer would be: "Because that's the kind of work that won't get us a lot of attention. So we're not as interested in doing that as we are in intellectualizing our histrionic relationships in a way that places blame for the problems they cause on society (hence, why it's so imperative we collectively shun you if you suggest otherwise) instead of taking responsibility for them. We've decided to co-opt social justice movements to do this. In this way, not only can we marginalize the effect of social justice movements world wide, but we can also get a lot of attention doing it!"

If you listen to the Howard Stern show, you probably know about Jeff The Vomit Guy. He's called Jeff The Vomit Guy because he gets off on women vomiting on him. People who are in the ultra hip vomit sex scence might call vomiting on someone giving them a Roman Shower. I gave the floor of a bathroom stall at Casa Bonita a Roman Shower not too long ago. I have a feeling they probably scraped it up and recycled it. It wasn't too far away from the Kitchen.

I got to thinking about this, when altamira16 and I were talking about fetishes, and the people who have them. I think the guy from this ad she found used to work at a chinese resturant and had some kind of horrible boss. Why would someone want to get vomitted on, or beat by numchuck-swinging squeeky asian girls in a bowl of rice, or maybe even both? More importantly, what kind of woman would want to do that?

One woman you might try asking is Elise Sutton, she runs a site called femalesuperiority.com. Though all that's on femalesuperiority.com is a warning and a few lines of HTML to make a frame that she loads her content from elisesutton.homested.com in. I never thought of doing something like that as a "superior" approach to webdesign, I always thought it was... Ohh... Well, let me put it this way: even Jeff The Vomit Guy's site doesn't use frames and he's really fucked up. If you're inferior to Jeff The Vomit Guy, you've got problems.

I must have missed the part of the Bible where Mary Magdalene raped Jesus with a strap on, shit on him, and made him watch while she fucked the 12 apostles and gave Pontius Pilate a BJ. Maybe this explains why all the Jews wanted Jesus put to death? Did Mary Magdalene promise to blow all of them so she could masturbate to Jesus being crucified? You are part of the mystery.


Surprisingly, there seems to be some attrition amongest the political ranks of the female supremacists. jzara.com, a female supremacist site created by someone with much more 31337 web design skilz than Elise, says that the "ideal society structure" is "Matriarchal Socialism."

If the Matriarchal Socialist Female Supremacists got in a fight with the Christian Libertarian Female Supremacists who would win?

Everybody.

Hard-line feminists will no doubt respond with an outraged "What will the misogynist patriarchy do to us next?" (possibly staging some sort of "reclaim the date" march). The cosmetic entrepreneurs, meanwhile, are bound to capitalise on the controversy by selling DIY backdoor bleaching kits (possibly along the lines of the personalised mouth moulds provided for teeth whitening).

Sooner or later I won't be able to say "I want your tight brown star" anymore. The tight brown star will become a thing of the past. Like a train whistle in the night, tight brown stars will become nothing more than a memory of what was, passing, unnoticed, into the gray fog, with my balls tagging close behind.
