Tried to rub skittles on my pits in the bathroom.

It worked. I tried it before on the public toilet, and it was not as good as it was in the store. Smells in public toilets are terrible. That one was really bad. It stank the whole day even after I dried my pits. I do not even use that bathroom again and when I go there, I smell.

Youve heard the jokes, now were all laughing.

I dont mean to be rude, but there is a certain amount of truth to this trope.

It takes a special kind of asshole to do a thing like this and not come clean. It takes the kind of asshole who is so invested in the idea that theyre right about what they did that they cant see the wrong of what they did.

I cant say I know people like this. I do know that people like this exist, and in fact, as I said, Im one of them.

But then I got to thinking. I dont blame these guys for acting the way they did, or being the way they were.

No one ever expects this kind of thing to happen, and for a lot of people, for whatever reason, they just assume that no one is going to take it seriously. I know I did.

But I have this sinking feeling that maybe I was wrong about that.

There are going to be more and more times that people, for whatever reason, decide to do something thats fucked up. Its inevitable. Because it is going to happen. Because people are people.

No one is perfect.

I'm not sure if I'm too high for this or not high enough

Do not be high, as that weakens the physical tight mind. Do not be low, as that weakens the spiritual tight mind.

The more you practice, the better you become at it. What you have learned is your most important possession. There will come a day when you will not need to depend on this instruction. At that time you will be more capable of looking into your own experience of the world. That is what your practice is all about.

It is not that you do not understand what you are doing. You are just not consciously aware of it. The more you practice, the more you will come to realize your own reality. If you are still not conscious of what you are doing, you must be more aware. You must practice more. As you practice more and more, you will come to a stage when you cannot go any further.

As of now, there is a lot of talk about the recent shooting, but I think it is important to go back to the beginning of everything, to the beginning of time. Where did it all start? When Adam and Eve left the garden, they werent given any specific instructions on what they should eat, or anything else. They were just given the entire planet to keep and use as they saw fit. In that context, its really easy to see how Adam and Eve took over, it was just a natural progression. Its much harder to understand how it all got started. Its hard to understand how all those wars and murders got started.

There is a simple answer to all of this, its the same answer Ive been using for a while now: the first humans did not live in a physical tight world. There were plenty of other species and races living on that planet. The first humans did not have the means to take over the planet and dominate everything that lived on it. In fact, if they had done so, we wouldnt be having this conversation because they would have died out. They didnt have the abilities to dominate the planet and kill everything. If you want to know how humans got so far and so quickly, I think its pretty obvious that their success had to have been due to their ability to understand and use their bodies (aka, mental tightness). If their mental tightness had been anything else, they would have died out pretty quickly. In the absence of knowledge, its pretty easy to see how a group of cavemen living in the woods came to dominate and kill anything and everything that got in their way.

I also want to go into some depth about the idea of mental tightness. This is something Ive been talking about quite a bit on social media, and I think it has been one of the most interesting ideas Ive come across in recent years.

Wat

As for my opinion, I guess I consider it to be a personal opinion. As with most things in life, you either want it, or you don't. If I think it is worth talking about, and you tell me it's worth talking about, then I would be open to discussing it. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, and I won't be offended. I have an open mind to any and all discussion.

Clocks in this country are like a bunch of dogs pissing on the furniture. You don't know what time it is.

And in the morning it's "Didn't I tell you not to piss on my bed?"

Don't forget to wipe down the furniture! I learned that the hard way one time I had some guests and the whole house smelled like shit, but I didn't realize it until I had done the main room a few days later. Oops!

Always keep cleaning products in the area where you clean. So many people forget the kitchen as their bathroom and end up with a kitchen that smells like the contents of the dishwasher mixed with lemon fresh water every time they take a shower or do a load of laundry.

Put a cover on the garbage can so that nasty things that are about to be tossed into it can't escape the clean.

Clean your toilets at least once a month. If you don't, the poop smell will linger in the air forever.

Keep a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. If you start to get the urge to use it, just stop, leave the bathroom and roll it up. Come back 30 minutes later, and it will be ready to use again.

Buy a really good carpet cleaner to remove the "hard to get out" stains.

Keep your pets' hair clippings away from your rugs.

Don't forget to clean your refrigerator! You would be surprised how often I clean it.

Don't put all your used paper towels into the one or two big trash bags that you keep by the kitchen sink. When you start filling them up, the stinky used paper towels will smell even worse when you put them in the trash. It's best to keep two small bags, each with only half of the trash.

If I caught Big Hoss from Pawn Stars using racial slurs, I would most likely go right behind the counter, pop open his beer and say, "You know, this racist man is going to ruin your business." In fact, I would do something like that. I think it's the only logical course of action, since the fact that you're using slurs is a pretty obvious signal. And if I were going to take any action at all, I would certainly take action that would show my disapproval. It seems like a pretty strong message to send.

Even the people who say they would "probably ignore it," like a lot of you on the internet, are probably lying. I am pretty sure if anyone came in and started using slurs, that I would act. To the extent that it's possible to do this without saying something like "Hey, stop it," I'm pretty sure that I would. That's how strongly I feel about it.

It looks like they are using the third party/puppeteer trope a bit, but I really doubt that it's "The Oldest Trick In The Book" as much as it was the "The Oldest Trick In The Book" in a lot of B-movies.

I heard that Trevor Bauer once called Jose Arraez "Jose the Dummy." His reasoning was that Arraez was the kind of guy who would walk to work through a high-intensity gunfire zone and probably not duck if a bullet actually got him. I know, I know, it was a dumb thing to say. But Arraez had the kind of body that made it possible. You're thinking, "Oh, that's why he had his batting average down to a lowly .216 last year."

"Donald Trump smells like a cigar," says one writer. "I really wonder how the last thing that was supposed to happen would turn out to be the cause."

That writer, whose real name is Bob Ehrlich, said that since news of the mogul's remarks have become public, he's never been so sure about one thing: "I mean, you want to put the whole Trump/Crooked Clinton world on hold and say, 'Well, maybe he really did say that.'"

Ehrlich isn't the only person who can't shake Trump's weirdness, though. "I've been watching Trump for years," says Tom Jensen, founder and CEO of the Boston-based communications firm In-Tune Media

The pain of a popped testicle and a testicular torsion is so intense that many young people have anorexia, which can be a form of self-harm. The "pain" here is really pain in the abdominal muscles. These muscles, along with the diaphragm, are very weak, which makes eating very difficult. It is likely that "pink" was an expression used in the late 1950s or early 1960s to denote the pain of abdominal muscles in response to constipation. This use of the term was dropped as children were diagnosed with "possible overactive thyroid." In the late 1990s a patient at the University of Tennessee, referred to by some as "Doctor Doom" because of his extreme "gynecologic disorders" and a tendency to get very upset when things didn't go his way, told me that he had been told by his doctor that he had overactive thyroid syndrome. It turns out that to him it was a term that represented another of his own pain issues.
