NBA PREDICTION FOR THE NIGHT

[buzzard]

You'd just have to hope that the eventual winner does the right thing and hands his prize down to the guy that only came in at forty-second despite totally outperforming the lot of them.

I'd sooner place my trust in somebody with a proven track record.

Yeah, but those guys are nerds working really hard at competing each and every day.

I realize that scoring in the top 3 is probably far fetched, and even if I DO reach number 3... I win 500 dollars... So what? I've earned more than that in the last 3 days.

You're exactly right.

But I would confirm that for the contest, I pick A LOT more games than I do when I'm wagering actual money. I realize I only have like a month left to make a serious run, so I'm betting shit-loads on that contest, and often, it's to my own detriment.

So even though TOC is right, and that my contest percentage is higher than the guys in the top 10, it would be a lot higher if I was making picks with any kind of concern that I'd be losing money if the picks submitted would lose.

If I would like a financial advisor to help manage the eventual proceeds of occasionally visiting a dying relative in hospital, should I go with a nerd that's worked real hard at market analysis each and every day or should I just ask the next guy I see doing an occasional fist-pump at the poker machines in my local sports bar?

Only if the market analysis guy is a swing trader, moving money around in the off hours. The regular schmo's ain't no better than the vegas hustler's.

Well, when I'm Hardcore was still here we had some awesome dialogue going on.

I politely invite you to partake in the conversation too as I'm aware that you fancy yourself as a basketball fan.

[Trotskilicious]

yeah but you're not talking about basketball, you're talking about gambling. gamblers never get this aspect, you guys are not talking about sports. all you talk about are lines & fixes & odds, its a very different language

the most pitiful thing about his posts are how he projects his own desperate sadness onto others in his posts. he needs our prayers, not our derision.

He has a political obsession
He will wake up tomorrow, next week and in two months only to find that the president is still.....TRUMP

Ehhh, I disagree. It's all connected and intertwined.

Yeah for sure, but I gotta imagine that being on the receiving end of anal sex isn't very satisfactory. I figure it's more or less a "take one for the team until I can go at it next" type of dealio.

I could be wrong, but most of the women I've talked with about this are usually only down with it to please their man and would rather not partake in it.

I dunno if being abused or abusing someone else can be a kink, or if it's the sort of mentality/behaviour that needs to be addressed/given therapy for.

Not every sexual behaviour can be explained as a kink, surely?

Yeah most of the women I've talked to will not do it and certainly not just to please their partners.

I don't doubt that it is enjoyable for those who engage in it, but holding someone down by their head while you fuck them from behind seems like more than a kink to me. That's like an unhealthy power play move. Humans shouldn't do that to each other I don't reckon. It isn't good.

That's just my opinion. If somebody explained to me how it wasn't being used to get a kick out of pretending to abuse someone, I would be only too happy to listen.

Simulated abuse (emphasis on simulated) is a fairly common kink, and there are many people who are into it.

As long as both are consenting adults who are into it and do it responsibly, I don't see what the harm is.

Someone who forcefully does that to their partner against their will on the other hand is, of course, problematic.

[vixnix]

Yeah simulating abuse is not a kink IMO, it's a mental health issue that should be addressed.

[vixnix]

Whereas doing it for real is illegal and a punishable offence.

Yeah I definitely agree. That's the beautiful thing about heterosexual sex, it's enjoyable (well should be ) for both parties. It's a beautiful thing. I imagine gay sex is like, oh man, having a rad time, just going at it and then you finish and then it's like "oh fuck... now it's my turn"

[fuzzyroes]

lmao

I apologize if I'm not being politically correct here. But I'm friends with a handful of gay guys, and they'll all tell you that being the catcher ain't nearly as fun or fulfilling as being the pitcher. I gotta imagine that that's what sucks most about being gay

[vixnix]

I know that I'm very open about anal sex not being a turn on for me and so not something that I want to do, and I know I throw the term tunnel butt slut around...

BUT I do also think that anal sex must be a loving and hot sex act for the vast majority of people who do it, otherwise why would they do it? Most people aren't fucked up enough to do something that is horrible for them, just to please their partner.

I have heard that a lot of guys enjoy having a finger up their ass which is another thing I have never been prepared to do but scotty has talked before about how being penetrated in the ass is enjoyable so I don't think it's necessarily the case that anal sex is only good for one partner at a time.

One of my old flatmates took it in the ass once and I said "Did it hurt?" and he looked me in the eye very seriously and said "It hurt like fuck" but I imagine it does, the first time. One of my female friends who is into it said that the right position and taking things slowly can really help. One of my closest friends describes it as "just another hole", and another says she likes the pleasure-pain experience.

So plenty of hetero partners as well as gay partners are really enjoying it, I'm sure.

I think our perception of anal sex is heavily influenced by how it is portrayed in the media. We pretty much only see it happening on screen in rape scenes, so we form a negative association with it and see it as being a very one-sided act in the pleasure it can bring.

I'll end this novel now.
