Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

[Timsup2nothin]

So I got three big bags of Halloween candy expecting to have one left for me. Due to the weather I actually ended up with more like two.

Obviously that's not a rant.

Thing is, the candy I got was these half Skittles half Starburst combo bags; little packs of Skittles and little two packs of Starbursts.

Still not a rant, but getting there, honest.

The Skittles are perfect. But the first two pack of Starbursts I opened they were both the same flavor. A statistical oddity I figured. But it turns out they are all the same flavor. Not a bad flavor or anything, but c'mon man, what's up with that?

Rant: I had to change my pyjamas because I spilled on it. Minutes after changing, I spilled again.

This would be why I never bother to change at times like that.

Yes but then you're wearing dirty clothes!

And?

Ewwww.

@Takhisis for the win.

Obviously the solution is to get myself a bib.

EDIT:

Go all the way and put on waterproofed dungarees.

Eat naked and plan to shower.

Cover your furniture, the floor, and yourself in disposable plastic canvas. No stains, no need to clean.

Too often when J talks about women in his posts, he seems to do so only in a context of things he can have sex with. Super creepy.

Well that, and seemingly 80% of his posts in Random Rants are "I wanted to have sex with a girl and I didn't and now I'm sad," while 80% of his posts in Random Raves are "things are seemingly going well with a girl and we might have sex and now I'm happy"

Which are perfectly reasonable feelings to have, but like, it's a little weird when that's seemingly all you ever think about, or at least, all you ever talk about.

 

[JohannaK]

Yeah, that's why I don't really want to engage with those posts. It's uncomfortable at the best of times.

That's why you vent to your fake people so the judgement doesn't have teeth. And I'm the conservative slut shamer. Don't neg on people for carrying protection if they have causal sex in their life. That's a good decision. Be honest instead of full of crap and neg on the causal sex.

I also vote for just eating nude. Maybe a set of eatin' clothes?

I feel it's one thing to just carry protection with you as part of your regular routine, because maybe you will randomly bump into someone and have instant amazing chemistry.

But I feel there's a difference, when you make plans to meet with your female friend and you go out of your way to make sure you have a condom for your rendezvous, especially when she's had negative reactions to your pickup attempts before. I feel that's close to sexual harassment, if not outright, because you're planning on having sex with a specific person who doesn't want to with you. And further, this attitude is just extremely degrading to women, like we can't be friends with you without you always looking for an opportunity to have sex.

Think of this, if you're meeting one of your male friends, would you rush out and buy a condom "just in case?" I feel it's a very strong example of how men just don't respect women as equal peers.

If I was hoping to drop a bunch of Molly and have massages with guy friends or something, having a condom would be less bad than not having one. Lots of causal sex is people who know each other, not the magic Disney sparkly stranger. I think causal sex hurts people on the whole. But if you know you'd be willing to have sex with somebody you're going out on the town with, a condom as contingency plan is more respect than plan b or the herp.

Shame the casual sex, not the good choice. Constant pressure is harassment. Carrying a rubber out of sight is not. Not not not.

If I were gay, the answer might well be yes.

And don't forget the nerds that have carried the same condom in their wallet hoping for over a decade.
