Nun With A Chainsaw Becomes Symbol Of Post-Irma Cleanup: 'She Rocks'

The farce continues.

Chief champion of Brexit, Nigel Farage, very recently backed the German far-right AfD without a hint of irony. Suzanne Moore in the Guardian tells the bigger story.

Very recently tens of thousands of people in the UK marched to protest against Brexit.

Of course, if you're an EU citizen from one of the other 27 countries living and working in the UK, things are uncertain and uncomfortable.

“Everybody shrugs their shoulders and says ‘you’ll be all right, your husband’s British’. We’re fed up of hearing this. I don’t have a home to go back to. It’s not as if we’re teenagers going back to mum and dad, I’ve spent my whole adult life here. To tell us we have to be treated like criminals, have fingerprints, pass an English test, it’s insulting.

“This is an abuse of human rights and our family lives. Every day I am questioning do I want to remain in a country where the majority of British citizens are not speaking out for us?

“Why are they not on the street demonstrating? If this happened in France and there was such discrimination against British citizens, I would be out on the street.

Some of us have written letters, demonstrated, argued, donated to legal challenges etc. but there is more to be done. It's not over yet.

If Mrs May's government lasts into 2018 I'll be very surprised.

The First White President (archive)

The Guardian reports that Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP and Brexit campaigner will address a far-right rally in Berlin on Friday.

The South East England MEP will appear at the Spandau Citadel in the west of the German capital to talk about “developments in the European Union, Brexit, direct democracy” and “how to make the impossible possible”, according to AfD MEP Beatrix von Storch, who is hosting the event.

A granddaughter of Hitler’s finance minister, Lutz von Krosigk, von Storch is a leading member of the anti-immigrant party, which has realistic aspirations to enter Germany’s parliament for the first time in federal elections on 24 September.

Godwin! See what I did there?

Farage speaks highly of that Nice Mr Putin:

In the run-up to Britain’s EU membership vote in June 2016, Farage said the then-US president, Barack Obama, had behaved “disgracefully” by warning on the economic consequences of a leave vote, and praised the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who, he said, “maintained his silence throughout the whole campaign”.

And, of course, he didn't have a good word for those lily-livered liberals' next choice either:

Two months later Farage appeared at a rally with Donald Trump, where he stated: “I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.”

Never mind, they way things are going in North Korea we might all be put out of our misery sooner rather than later.

Here's one. Putin, Farage and Trump walk into a bar. The barman says to Putin, "What can I get for you and your friends?" Putin looks the barman in the eye and replies, "I will have little water to toast great nation of Russia. I never met these two before. I don't know them from Adam." The barman replies, "Your vodka is on the house."

Netflix confirms HDR compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30

Found this article with some nice historical and technical details:

Believe the Hype: HDR Is the Real Deal

HDR seems like a bigger deal than 4K for games with moody atmospherics or stealth mechanisms, as well as certain films. I doubt it will die and recede into the background like 3D did.

Okay, I'm going to preface this entry with saying that this one is quite personal and embarrassing. It's a little more graphic than the other entries, but for the most part you all have been very supportive of my adventure and I use this space as a place to get stuff that is on my mind out. This place is also 99% men, so I feel that this place is like a brotherhood. Please be nice.

So I've been on a bit of a roll with regards to dating lately. The last entry I mentioned a girl that I had seen that I was on the fence about. I ended up deciding not to see her again. About a week later, I was able to line up another date with a raging feminist. She has green hair, and is very smart and very cute. She has been on again off again working towards a degree in women's history and feminism for the last quite a few years. I quite like her, and as of this entry, we have had 2 dinner/drink dates that have gone quite well. On the second date, we went for dinner and then walked around the part of the city where she lived. I have lived in my city my entire life, but had never visited the area where she lived. It was a very warm night with heavy smoke in the air from the forest fires burning in BC. The streets were oddly quiet, and it felt almost magical to me. She took me to a lookout with a view of downtown and we smoked a little weed and made out for a bit.

The next day, I tried to line up a third date, and she said that she will be busy for the next couple weeks with a course that is pretty intense that she is enrolled in. It makes me a little nervous to have such a long break at the beginning of a relationship because it's too frequnt that things just drift apart before they even get going. Anyways, we'll see what comes of it.

I was also able to line up a date last night with another girl. The plan was to go mini golfing and then come back to my place and order dinner and drink some wine. Cute girl, and we got along pretty well. We came back to my place and talked for a bit. She was basically looking for a fuck buddy. That works for me, and it's been a very long time since I've had proper sex. She didn't want to have sex last night because she wasn't on birth control (I always use condoms anyways, but it doesn't hurt to be extra safe). We started making out and moved to the bedroom and got undressed.

Sorry, this is about to get graphic, but I feel it's necessary to set the scene...

I love small tits. Love them. Her tits were great. Probably a large A cup with nice nipples. We make out some more and after a while I start going down on one of the sweetest pussies that I have ever had the pleasure of sticking my tongue in. Absolutely delicious. I'm doing my thing and she's making encouraging sounds, and then I changed the rhythm and lost it. I continued licking away for another 6-7 minutes, but the orgasm had got away. All the while I'm with this woman, my dick was dead. It would not wake up at all. It was just limp and lame. I felt humiliated. Even though we weren't going to have sex, I wanted to leave her with the memory of my hard cock, but instead I'm sure I'll be remembered as the guy that ruined her orgasm and couldn't get it up. Fuck. My. Life.

After that, she asked what time it was (just before 9:00) and then she said that she had to go because she had an early morning spin class. She got dressed and was gone within 5 minutes.

That was my far the most humiliating sexual experience I have ever had. I had even cut back on jerking off to try avoid a situation like that, but yet my body let be down. It's unfortunately not the first time I've had problems with a new partner. My nerves get the best of me sometimes, and the problem goes away once I'm more comfortable with the woman. I guess this one hit me extra hard because she was looking for one thing -- a fuck buddy -- and I couldn't deliver on that one thing.

So all last night and today I've been mentally beating myself up. I feel like a total pathetic loser. I'm pretty damn sure I'll never hear from her again.

I don't know what to do at this point. I don't want to humiliate myself like that again. In hindsight, I should have made less of a deal over my own shortcomings and just focused on pleasuring her. I think I made things more awkward then they could have been.

I'm tempted to just take a bit of a break from searching for dates to take some time to build my confidence back up again. I still might have a third date with the other girl, so I'll go with whatever that brings, but I'm not sure I want to try find anyone new at the moment. Since the birth of our baby, my wife and I still haven't really been able to have good sex. I think I should focus on getting that area of my life back on track and maybe once I feel confident with my wife again, some of that confidence will overflow to my other relationships.

Fuck me.
