Disappointed to learn that Ark Encounter, the creationist theme park in Kentucky whose primary and by primary I mean only attraction is a replica of Noah's Ark built with public tax incentives & that pitches itself as a field trip destination for public schools, has abandoned their plans to build an "immersive" Plagues of Egypt ride, but delighted to learn the Bible theme park is building a Tower of Babel instead

in the transcription "Yes, you can breed as to speak. But you must nourish your offspring." -- I think that's "so to speak," though I can see how those letters might appear to be "as".

Oh yeah definitely oops haha. Heck I think that was even just a typo from me

oh this is absolutely accurate. get something that has a power cord like a blender.

My most controversial opinion: Rechargeable and battery-powered sex toys can all go to hell. I don't want another fucking cord, plug, and charging base to store and/or lose. I don't want to deal with battery capacity degrading over time. I don't want to have to remember to store toys with the batteries removed. And I certainly don't want to run out of charge while jerkin' it! Plug that thing into a wall outlet with a 9 foot cord like God intended and go to town.

blood canticle is a bad book. for a couple of brief moments we're allowed to see lestat appearing to struggle with his idea of masculinity and where it chafes against the reality of his life. but then the conclusion to that character arc is that he realizes he actually is incredibly manly, and all the chicks really are leading him on, and then he skateboards into the sunset with his shades on after crushing a beer can on his forehead. the dean winchester school of gender theory.

Lestat forcibly drinking from David

"Stick your filthy droit du seigneur right through your greedy heart."

"If I was 'King of the Vampires, I'd make it the right of every maker to drink from his fledgling anytime he chose. Maybe it would be good to be king. Didn't Mel Brooks say, 'It's good to be the king'?"

~ Prince Lestat. Chapter 4.

Ok agreed that they should but Visa isn't a public service. It's a company. It has shareholders and stuff; it doesn't belong to the government. As long as businesses aren't engaging in bigotry towards protected classes (as in, eg, not letting Asian-Americans have credit cards that can be used where Hispanic people's business cards can be), they get to decide what business they take and what they don't. Thats why they get to make these choices, is it's a business not a utility.

Also I've definitely purchased weird sex toys with my credit and debit cards; I've never been into an adult shop that didn't take them. Oh, and the reason they can't take or send any money from something that is upfront about selling marijuana is that it's federally illegal. That's why your local marijuana store won't take checks either. This is also why headshops exist in states where marijuana isn't legal, and existed in states before marijuana was legal there, and all of the bongs were labeled with a silly sticker that said "for tobacco use only".

something that boils my piss about visa and mastercard and stripe and paypal unilaterally declaring themselves the final arbiters of what kind of legal business people are allowed to conduct is how much of their bullying is based on pure aesthetics. If you go through the retailer list of a certain specialty herb supplier, the stores that are dressed as legal highs and head shops have all got the banhammer but the stores dressed as wellness and lifestyle have the full suite of payment options available. THEY'RE THE SAME. FUCKING. BUSINESS.

It's the same with adult products, if you want a dildo from Horny Hank's Freaky Fuck Bazaar you gotta pay with crypto or bank transfer but if you want the exact same dildo from the Heterosexual Coupling Healthy Happiness Enhancement Emporium you can pay with paypal.

They don't even truly care what you're selling they only care how it looks. The image of respectable conformity matters more than the substance of the business and products. And actually I don't think anyone should have to meet arbitrary standards of what an acceptable storefront looks like to be able to draw a cartoon dick when drawing cartoon dicks is in fact perfectly fucking legal. You should be able to draw and distribute cartoon dicks in accordance with the law without being forced to dress your cartoon dick dispensary like a hot yoga studio, actually.
