.. . violent riots from a white supremacist demonstration that's been going on for three hours a mile from me in downtown Charlottesville. One of the supremacists just plowed into a crowd with his car.

Oh yeah, I saw that. Antifa fascist attacked peaceful demonstrators and then some car driving by crashed after an antifa threw a rock at the driver, who lost control. Omg don't get me started. I've been avoiding the news for weeks.

Tell you what, why don't we leave the politics for the politics board. I'd rather talk about Cthulhu or rogue apricot eating bears or something here.

Been awhile since we discussed nipple clamps.

Just saying:D

Lol. I'm working on that story. She's meeting him and he's taking her shopping to buy some bondage gear. I'm kind of going mild bdsm that gets less mild as their relationship continues. Researching nipple clamps has been tremendous fun. My partner was a little sceptical about me using him as a guinea pig tho. He said it was my story and if anyone should be tied up and used as a nipple clamp guinea pig it should be me. He was so forceful about it I just went all shivery. He won that argument. How could I resist? Now if I can figure out a way to write in an octopus?

Does anyone else just hate the spell checker on their phone sometimes?

This is the thread where we talk about what is happening with us on any given day, and this is what's happening a mile from me today. Incidentally, I found your characterization of the car plowing into the counterprotestors absolutely disgusting.

You know, you can keep stepping it up and so can I. Both of us are good at that :D

I had a kind of classic Chloe Politics Board reply all done just for you, Pilot, and then I thought, no, there's lots of other people here who won't be entertained by you and I haranguing each other, and we're both good at that. So in deference to my elders (see, I can be polite :D) I'll gracefully acknowledge your seniority and repress my baser instincts and leave it alone.

It's soooooo hard though. So very hard.... :eek: Painful, almost.

Pain? Now, that reminds me where I was, I was talking about shopping online for Nipple Clamps (with little swastika's on them of course). LOL. Really, it was fascinating. Bought these cute little ones from Amazon in the end but now I'm kind of doing more research and wondering what the next step for my character is from nipple clamps. All the stuff online is a bit confusing and as for the stuff on ropes - my god, it's complicated, but it's a lot more fun than hairy armpits.
 
Sounds like everyone is having an interesting weekend. Pretty boring around here, which is good in its own way.
We hide out while everyone else has an interesting weekend. That's because our only excuse to go out is to head uphill to a high, cool, mountain pass -- along with a few zillion other heat-escapees.

We're below Lake Tahoe, below Kit Carson Pass, below Kirkwood mountain resort. We call its weekend traffic pattern the Kirkwood 500. It gets brutal on our narrow trans-Sierra highway. Safer to stay home, scrape bearshit out of the yard, play in the sprinkler, and pour another cocktail. Fuck coffee. Mas margueritas, por favor. Or maybe lemonade.
 
'Fraid I had to look up Wiki to find out was Antifa was in aid of. White suprematists I've heard of but the rest of it seems to have bypassed our news media.

Anyone keeping an eye out for the Perseids meteor showers then ? It's tonight

:)
 
Went into town for a haircut and then got some groceries. We have nice weather yet today but they predict hot and humid for tomorrow.

Some of my psych classes touched on this but I don't understand the mindset of people who purposely hurt others. Anger? Conflicting beliefs? Stupidity? All of those and more, for sure, but still, I won't ever get it.

Something reactionaries get that libs don't is that, generally, people are wild animals. They (we) may be somewhat socialized so we don't piss our beds and fuck our dogs, but they (we) are still murderous beasts, ruled by our backbrains and easily-provoked hormones.

It's fun being an animal. Thought is unneeded. Immediate emotional highs and lows rule use, and we react. Pissed off? Kill something! See something different? Kill it! Smash it! Burn it! Or if it's scary, RUN! RUN, YOU FUCKERS!

PT Barnum had it right: "Nobody ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people." HL Mencken condensed that to "There's one [a sucker] born every minute". Appeal to hate, fear, and greed, and you can't lose. Unless a dissatisfied customer shoots you.

EDIT: I think I need more tequila in my coffee.
 
Hey folks!

Chloe stopped by the Politics Board today with some interesting ideas she seems to want no one here to know about:

Yep, it's all coming out. And guess what, somehow it seems to have faded from the Fake News Media. Quells surprise. Lying assholes. First up against the wall. Come the day.

Yep. And suddenly it's no longer all over the news every hour of every day. Go figure. Still, people are starting to figure it out and more and more are standing up and resisting. Like our comrades today fighting antifa. Good for them. Shame it was only a car and not a rig driver that antifa clocked with a rock

Could you keep her muzzled so she can stop spewing her psycho violence on us? Much appreciated.

Oh no, Flower Girl, I thought I had you on ignore, must have slipped. Generally I keep my moderate views for the politics board where they belong. I spare the innocents here my bile and save that for you all.

Never mind folks, move along. Just a bit of spillover. I'm going to make the coffee now and ignore the news. Read something relaxing like .... no, I'm going to restrain myself.... lol.... my partner is laughing at me. Nipple clamps, that's it. I'm going to read up on nipple clamps.

Can it Chloe. I know what your politics are and as long as you keep the stench to yourself I really don't care. You're a good writer and you have non-political things to say that a lot of us might read. But if you push your politics in my face (which you have today) then I'm not going to put you on 'ignore,' I'm going to put you on 'hate.'

Iggy is your friend.

Meanwhile, we mostly try to stay away from polytix in AH. (Polytix = many parasites.) I recently posted some links that were topical but not overtly polemical or polarized. That stuff can be hard to wash down with coffee, which is required here. Tell us if you drive a stake through Chloe's heart.

No worries, but if somebody throws there's up I'm not shutting up. Works both ways. I keep mine on the politics board. Where it belongs. I won't bring it up here and I apologize if I do. End of. You will note right tutu this I'm only reacting to other people's political comments. I feel the same way about those views as you do about mine. It's a kind of reciprocal move to keep it of here but that's two way. Anyhow, I'm leaving it. Too distracting and annoying, I agree.
 
I don't care whose politics are what. Check them at the door, please.

This is a friendly place for one and all. We're all adults, more or less, so use your heads on which topics fit and which topics don't fit friendly. If in doubt, leave it out.

Fresh coffee for the midnight crew and a fresh kettle.

As for nipple clamps, you might want to start with clips and/or elastic loops and work your way up. Clamps can be very painful in the wrong hands for a beginner.
 
I apologize. I thought it was somewhat of a public service to out the avowed white supremacist amongst us, saddened there weren't more murders today, but I should have just reported the post to Laurel, which I will now do.

I still think this thread is for vignettes on people's days and what they face that day. (It certainly is taken that way by you and most others). I didn't ask for my day to be push politics. I would have loved for my day to be limited to tea kettles, nipple clamps, and fishing poles, but that wasn't my choice.

Yes, this thread is for people to put forth their day but please use some common sense. The news is for the news when it is political or controversial even if it is in your back yard. You should be the first to understand that people are here to relax and enjoy themselves.

I've read loads of sob stories on this thread that have nothing to do with relaxing and enjoying themselves. But I guess it's different strokes for different folks.
 
My apologies to everyone. I'll restrain myself from now on. Sorry about that.

A contrite Chloe 😢
 
Poured hard and hailed here today. Saw the moon but it was too cloudy to see any meteors. Was anyone able to see them?
 
Good afternoon, folks. I'm running a little slow today, fighting off a summer cold it seems. Luckily, the munchkin and I made zucchini bread yesterday so breakfast was zucchini bread, eggs and sausage with Dunkin Donuts medium roast made up in the French press. Delightful on a sunny morning on the hill.

The doors are open, sky is blue with white fluffy clouds and the breeze is occasionally making the wind chimes offer music.

I got a little editing in yesterday and plan to do more today along with making chocolate zucchini bread.

May you have a lovely day wherever you are. :rose:
