01) Discover your Patronus

You have to have an account with Pottermore, in order to engage in these types of “surveys”…But, I enjoy this sort of stuff…So, I went ahead and opened up an account.

I promise not to make a habit of this…but, I wanted to do this one in particular…Open up your own account, if you like. Normally, I will stick with the surveys immediately open to everyone, without additional requirements.

Hmm….

…There is no skill involved here…

…A Fox Terrier…Interesting…I guess…

‘CREEPER Act’ would ban lifelike child sex dolls in the United States…

01) ‘CREEPER Act’ would ban lifelike child sex dolls in the United States

“The importation and distribution of lifelike child sex dolls in the United States would be prohibited under legislation that was introduced Thursday.

…

Rep. Daniel Donovan (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn), along with 10 bipartisan cosponsors, introduced the Curbing Realistic Exploitative Electronic Pedophilic Robots or CREEPER Act.

…

No studies have been done to determine whether looking at artificial child pornography or using child sex dolls encourages or prevents a would-be pedophile from acting on their urges.”

What if you just want an extremely anatomically correct doll…but you don’t have sex with it?

You know…this is just another meaningless piece of legislation.

…I don’t want one of these dolls, and to be entirely up front about it…I consider it a sort of insult, for people to suggest that I should use one as a substitute for a real sexual relationship…

…That’s just demeaning…

…On the other hand…I object to these bozos, trying to strip me of my free options…

Why don’t they just call it what it is

The Silicon Harm Intervention Tenet…

…Or, S.H.I.T.!

…That’s all it is.

…You have no idea how hard it was for me to find a reasonable word related to “act” or “statute”, that begins with the letter “t”…

…I’m still not happy with that one…but it accomplishes it’s purpose.

01) An underwear maker, his boy models and the man who tried to stop him

“The story of how a Washington state company used boys in underwear to draw customers and the man with a secret past who tried to stop them.”

I remember this conflict. It’s because of the big stink a few people were making, that many of us became aware of Tiger underwear.

There were some beautiful pictures of beautiful boys on the website…nothing to get one’s panties in a twist, over.

“Our Love is Beautiful by Ethan Gold”

Thought I’d repost this great song.

Whenever someone wants to mistreat you for being a MAP, remember…

…Our love is beautiful!…And nobody can take that away from us.

We have nothing to apologize for.

This world is lucky to have us.

01) Why incompetent people think they’re amazing – David Dunning

” How good are you with money? What about reading peoples emotions? How healthy are you, compared to other people you know? Knowing how our skills stack up against others is useful in many ways. But psychological research suggests that were not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. In fact, we frequently overestimate our own abilities. David Dunning describes the Dunning-Kruger effect.
