    I’m gonna need some clarifications here. Does the stick/cone/tube go for the ride? How far up the ass does it need to go? Is this a proper insertion or a wedding-cake photo-op mushing situation? If it’s insertion, can the ice cream be modified to fit the butthole, or must the butthole adapt to the ice cream? There’s a lot of moving parts and complex interplay going on.



  • Reed may be somewhere on that path; they emphasize interdisciplinary programs and narrative grading. I think Oberlin is more of a traditional curriculum, but it’s been a progressive community since the days of the Underground Railroad. I pretty exhaustively researched colleges in the mid 90s (then promptly chose the one that offered the biggest scholarship and three months later fell back on the best in-state option still available), but my mental data is pretty stale by this point.

    My daughter is neurodivergent, but she’s only eleven and so far still claims she wants to attend the nearest physical campus to our house and never move out, which sounds alright to me because she’s fun and cool. We will see how the teen years affect this mindset, LOL.


  • I went to a public college in Florida, and New College was known to be full of the state’s smartest hippies. My Spring semester bed in the honors dorm, after my first foray to Texas, was freed up because the former occupant transferred from UF to New College.

    It’s a travesty what’s happening to it. Students with means or a favorable FAFSA might find some joy at a place like Reed or Oberlin. Evergreen seems like a good option on a similar model. New College being public with that traditionally low in-state tuition was such an important option for some and symbol for others, though.


  • What’s doubly sad here is that New College was not “just” a public Liberal Arts college. It was an educational laboratory and countercultural bastion in a state that has always had a pretty wide conservative streak. There were no set majors, and there were no traditional grades, just granting credit or not and then a narrative statement on your performance. It was so small it didn’t make any significant dent in the Florida educational scene, but it was an important place for its community and an important symbol about the state’s relationship to education. It was always known as a place for kids who were bright-to-brilliant but didn’t fit the mold.

    I went to a different public university in Florida (which has been dealing with its own meddling from DeSantis’s ghouls), but I was low-key proud New College was there. This is like shoving a needle under somebody’s fingernails, intentional torture that’s painful out of all proportion to the measurable damage.

    Mormon theology also pretty much just cuts the Gordian knot proposed in this post by saying, “Fuck yeah he’s got a dick. Uses it ALL THE TIME.” I believe that a “perfected body” was the verbiage I was taught in Sunday School. Tritheistic heresy, Shmitheistic Shmeresy…



  • This. All of us Reddit Refugees (me included) fucked up when we arrived and put the cart before the horse. Lemmy is like a small town; you may simply not get all the specific communities you want, but there’s probably somebody with a similar enough interest that they’ll talk to you about the stuff you like, and they probably have things that you would like to talk about if you saw it. Higher-level categories should do fine unless and until a certain type of content starts to annoy other users by its sheer prevalence.

    As someone else said, Lemmy is the niche community.







  • It’s even a little bit worse than that. Here’s a quick Youtube video with, I think, just enough context.

    It’s quick and glib and is structured like a bit of political wit, but he’s pretty earnestly comparing Hasan to Hamas/Hezbollah and the “joke” is more about his comic persona (to the extent you develop one in the three seconds of buildup to being Mr. Funny on a news panel show) hoping that he and the entire table don’t get blown up by Hasan’s beeper during the show. I didn’t get any subtext or subtle implication that Hasan should be spared, except for duration of the oh-so-funny Gidursky being in the blast radius.

    It’s the sort of thing that somebody might feel safe saying on CNN if, in other environments, they’d be perfectly happy wishing death on people who oppose the war. A cheap shot from a racist asshole.
