Litiquette VI

[Lord Pmann]

I'm not really superstitious. I have some things I will do repetitively, but it's more out of OCD tendencies than superstition.

I have the pencil I used to pass an important licensure exam. I like that. It gives me confidence. Not luck.

Derren Brown has a brilliant special about Luck. It's so good pointing out how some people believe they are lucky and some don't. It's well worth a watch.

So I didn't think I had any weird quirks until I read above...

I have a compulsion to set the TV volume to a prime number. It's so odd but I roll with it because it's insignificant in the scheme of things.

That's some kind of nerdy shit right there.

For Realz: Tarot and Shamanic-style journeying. Might not be exactly what you’re asking, as my use is less about prophecy and more about unearthing what you already know on a subconscious level. And would know consciously if you bothered to slow down a little.

Rather like medication, but more active. To put it another way, for me, they are to inner healing as Wim Hof or intermittent fasting are to physical healing. But I’m into working on my inner serenity and all that jazz.

Embrace: I don’t follow sports, which seems to be the biggie for that kind of stuff.

I do dig the black cats. And full moons. And if the latter is combined with some other interesting anomaly, like last year’s full moon + super moon + full lunar eclipse? You might see a little pagan dancing.

(A gift from the anti-establishment neo-pagan part of the family. )

The Just in Case: As far as the afterlife goes, I’m agnostic. However….

Having once had an imperfectly explained and rather unnerving experience as a youngster that might questionably have involved a recently deceased relative, I do carry a little sage and salt when entering possibly haunted houses.

An odd number? You’re a monster.

Oh, I was born on a Friday the 13th. All prime numbers, Aussie.

I’m Lego Marge Simpson when we play Monopoly. No, it’s not Simpson themed, got tired of the lame molten metal objects. There’s been serval non-Monopoly figures added since that blue haired bombshell joined in the fun.
That’s about as crazy as my rituals go.

 

[Suz_anne]

I've been wracking my brain and I can't come up with much in the way of superstitions or rituals that I follow. I have a few traditions, but those are things that are more centered around holidays or special occasions.

A friend's mother is from Japan and practices Shinto. They have some really lovely traditions, rituals and some interesting superstitions. Whenever I was around the mom, she was always telling me things that I shouldn't be doing - like the position of my pillow on the bed (never sleep with your head to the north), to not whistle at night... stuff like that. And there were TONS of these types of superstitions. I always wondered how they remember all of them.

No....this is not insignificant.

 

[blade_rocknut]

I don't really do superstition.

My grandfather had an adage, saying it was bad luck to start a job on a Friday...but I credit that to his general laziness and desire to start drinking sooner.

As for the moon? It affects almost everything in nature; I see no reason to doubt an influence on human behaviors as well; although we've largely insulated ourselves from the natural world.
Think it's weird to see deer out and about, midday even though they're primarily crepuscular? It's either a new or full moon.
You'll notice the cattle grazing at the same time; not lying around digesting.

No astrology or religion for me, either.

Off Topic Bonus Question!!!

Does Lord Pmann seem like the type of guy to be a generous... giver of oral sex? Or does he seem like he'd be a bit selfish in that department?


Yes = he loves to lick that poonanny and paint that taint
No = he'll take a lickin', but he's not putting his tongue anywhere near that

 

[Fermina_Daza]

So much side action going on.

I’m not remotely superstitious but i do NOT celebrate my birthday. One year I had big plans and tornados ripped through the city causing traffic delays for hours due to closed roads. Then for my 40th I spent the night passed out on my bathroom floor - because of kidney stones. We had sat down for dinner when I suddenly felt ill and decided just to go home. I have deduced birthdays = tragedy.

And Pmann strikes me as the type who talks a lot. So if you can get his head down low enough he probably just goes to town.

 

[Endless_Night]

Suz!

Gah! Where is the brain bleach?

I feel you. To date, a few of the ways I have spent my birthday:

- Bailing a relative out of jail.
- Stuck overnight in a railway station where no-one spoke English.
- Sitting in the ER with a snapped metatarsal.

My solution?

BIRTHDAY WEEK

Now, no matter what atrocity occurs, I am still assured of several bodacious birthday-related days.

[Suz_anne]

^^^ Um... it IS a sex chat site, Enny. Sheesh.


For what it's worth - I think you're quite a giver.

Now, cut that out!


Besides, you'd be wrong. I am terrible at the sex.

TERRIBLE.

(Really. It's so bad, it's…bad. )

This is an interesting question, but I’m voting No. I think he’s a little greedy and way vanilla.
Sorry Pmann

No. Sorry Pmann. Stingy muh fucker.

. . . I do dig the black cats. And full moons. And if the latter is combined with some other interesting anomaly, like last year’s full moon + super moon + full lunar eclipse? You might see a little pagan dancing.

Quick word of caution: If you dance naked under the full moon you will turn into a werewolf. <— little known fact.

As for Pmann’s oral efforts, I’m very superstitious about commenting on the tongue technique of fellow listers.

[Lord Pmann]

Double Standards- I think we all perpetuate them at times. As this forum's most progressive poster, I try my best to eliminate that shit. I even support the right of women to vote and be CEOs But... Sometimes you other people perpetuate these kind of things and I'm here to talk about it today.

If a guy gets a dozen random blowjobs, he's considered a hero by his mates. But a lot of people would consider the girl a slut and assume she will just take a ride on any old skin wagon that comes her way. Even though the guys would still be one of the twelve. Why is this? Also, I think a lot of guys would like her to wear a Scarlet letter on her shirt. Not to shame her, but so they can identify her easily for blowjob purposes.

There are other ones too... If a girl acts in charge, she's a bitch. If a woman slaps a man, not a big deal. The other way around is abuse. A female teacher fucks a male student, the guy gets a thumbs up and he's considered old enough to make that call. The reverse happens and the girl was taken advantage of.

There are lots of them. Which ones have you encountered? Which ones are you willing to admit you hold true? Which ones irk the living shit out of you?

Also- you all can kiss my ass about my willingness to give!! Thanks HotWords for not throwing me under the bus. I'm gonna throw my dick over my shoulder too.

 

[Lonelywife1205]

I think it’s a double standard when women can still be flirty in the office or with men in general while if a man dare tells a woman she looks nice today, gives her a friendly hug or heaven forbid flirts with her, he’s considered a pariah.

Indeed, some injustices have flipped so far inverse, it's crazy.

I mean, I totally get the intent of the #metoo movement, but it has kinda perverted the balance of justice. What makes a woman's word inherently more valid than a man's? I wish we could see real equality in sex abuse cases, but criminalizing every little flirt...even the imagined ones isn't going to get us there.

 

[Lord Pmann]

There is a huge double standard there, no doubt. What constitutes harassment these days has gone a bit extreme. Asking someone out isn't harassment. That's so ridiculous. Continually bothering them about it, that isn't cool and could move towards harassment pretty quickly. But simply asking someone out once isn't an issue.

Someone once made the statement on here, regarding the #MeToo movement, that all women should be believed. Well, that makes the assumption that all women tell the truth. All women should be listened to (I realize that's bad English). But some women are batshit crazy and make shit up. And they ruin it for the majority of the stories which are most likely true.

There used to be a time when you could call your secretary Sugar Tits... That's what's at stake here, people.

For the math minded people, an equation:

Likelihood of being accused of sexual harassment = 1/Level of Attractiveness

It's so bloody obvious that none of you have been raped

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

I've heard it said that instead of saying "all women should be belived" that we should say "all women should be heard".

In terms of coworkers, I don't think every little thing upsets most women, we've been dealing with you perverts for centuries but I do think men sometimes have no concept of how the things they do and say make the women around them feel. It doesn't hurt anyone to stop and think about the things they say and the actions they take and how those things may be interpreted by their colleagues.

My boss is highly inappropriate, something I've documented here a few times. I've chosen to deal with it. That doesn't make ot sexual harrassment but it also doesn't make it right.
