    It's not that being critical isn't good in a very general sort of way in life, it's that there's this tendency for people who are into philawsophy to think that all that matters are abstract ethical systems and the elegant ways some white dude in his country house smoking a pipe arranges...

    Out of curiosity, how familiar are you with organic chemistry, sexology, genetics, evolutionary biology, anthropology and the intersection of these fields? Because, as just about anyone who studies sexual mechanisms within them will tell you, sex is something that "just happens" in exactly the...

    there is a big difference

    The quotidian humdrum is you. You are part of it and you can't pretend you're not. I don't get this strange world dualism.

    there is a big difference

    Leave it to me, really, but I think the word "innovative" has become the new code word for "original" (in music journalism and such) which... ...don't even get me started. Arche nothing-- either nothing is original or everything is or the word is so vague it's practically meaningless. Formal...

    Not to mention the fact that whenever people get "sex critical", the ones on the losing end legally, economically, socially, and otherwise are without fail 1) teh gays, 2) the wimmin, 3) the ethnic minorities.

    Being "sex critical" would be sort of like being "critical" of covalent bonds between elements with fewer than 8 valence electrons. What would be the point? Sex is going to happen, you can either deal with the reality that most organisms reproduce sexually and therefore engage in sexual...

    Postmodernity and christianity

    Yes, that is a reference to how His Holiness has bigger balls than Yahweh.

    Magick!

    Just a wee bit... Does he get paid for this? Because if he does, I want to be a magician. I've got a trick, too: I can predict how the DOW will close for the day. 10 minutes after it closes.

    why do we sleep with pillows?

    Well, maybe you feel more comfortable with a small pillow, sure, whatever. But that's a different issue. Also, you will get wrinkles no matter what. Gravity applies always. It doesn't matter how you're lying, or standing, or what. Sunlight is much bigger factor. Women tend to get wrinkles...

    Yeah, it's funny to hear men moan about monogamy (and specifically marriage), and try to blame it on women, as if it's something only women want so men grudgingly give in. In my anthro course we just studied a unit on matrilineal/matriarchal versus patrilineal/patriarchal societies, and it's...

    Good to know...although still would rather poke my eye out with a stick.

    why do we sleep with pillows?

    No they do not. Your spine has evolved to curve, and it's made of osseous structures (BONES) that help you bend easily. Pathological curvature of the spine is either congenital/genetic or caused by dietary issues or disease. Bad posture can effect--wait for it-- your posture. Osteoporosis is the...

    Magick!

    Yeah, I was going to say, the Satanistic element of Sexmagick seems infinitely cooler and more interesting than the other part, which is just like Wicca ++.

    this will blow your mind

    There used to be an SNL sketch just like this basically. The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

    Magick!

    The Holy Church of Sexmagick sounds like more fun than it is. When I first heard of it I thought wow this is awesome. Then I realized it's just faerie worship + a bunch of people who like to wear body paint while they fuck.

    Yeah they're pretty different I've heard, non-identical versus identical... There are identical twins in my family, which is extra incentive not to have kids, since that raises your chances of having them yourself-- if there's anything scarier than having one kid, it's two at once who are the...

    why do we sleep with pillows?

    I use two. It's probably better to sleep with a pillow, if you like lymph and other fluids to drain instead of building up in your facial tissues over night and making your face puffy. That and it's better to elevate your head and allow your sinuses to drain at night. Everytime I've been forced...

    I just realized something. Every roommate I've ever had was an only child, from undergrad on up, including my current one. Even the ones I lived with in the 'real world,' in every apartment I've ever had. (Excluding any cohabitating partners.) Since some of them were (semi-)randomly assigned...
