I thought I'd share this talk. It confirms my suspicions that among chimpanzees (and probably humans, too) a bully does not an alpha make.

I appreciate everybody's thoughts on this. I decided to do the interview. I talked with the editor for about an hour. It was an excellent conversation. I described my own experience with conversion therapy, why I felt like I had to do it, and where I am now with it. At the end, I decided to have her...

Hell, I might fly down to Phoenix to see this...

I'm a non-traditional student at an area university in Utah. I ended up talking to a reporter for the college newspaper about my experiences with fifteen years of "conversion therapy", because she was researching a story regarding a bill to ended conversion therapy for minors in Utah (a bill which f...

I used to pirate the show back in the days of low speed internet. It would take FOREVER to load. And then what if it froze on one of the naked boobies scenes?! :shock: I couldn't get my then-TBMish hubby to watch it with me in the beginning because it was too vulgar. How the world has changed in ju...

I've never seen Game of Thrones. I tried to read the first book years ago, and couldn't get past the first hundred pages.

Now Wheel of Time? That's a series I'd root for.

I agree with many others that it was a way to get certain folks to vow silence on the polygamy thing. And to make some people feel extra special.

Three men die and go to the gates of heaven, waiting in line to talk with St. Peter. St. Pete says to the first "So you want into heaven, now? I don't think so. You loved booze so much that you married a woman named 'Brandy'" The next man steps up and says "I'd like to go into heaven now." St. Peter...

I remember the "coffee break's over" joke from childhood. But in my version, the three rooms were thumbtacks, hot burners, and manure. And they were up to their necks in it...

This is an amazing podcast...I highly recommend listening!

Maybe we can start a thread. A Lawyer dies and goes to heaven. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St. Peter. "Hello mate" says St. Peter, "I'm sorry, no Lawyers in heaven." "What?" exclaims the man, astonished. "You heard, no Lawyers." "But, but, but, I've been a good man", replies the ...

Her question to me is, Can you just be patient and wait for this stuff to happen? If not RMN then when some later prophet makes enough changes could the church become good enough to not resign? She believes the culture will change and become more mainstream and more accepting of LGBT, those who don...

Just received this email from the Church: Dear Brothers and Sisters: The name of the Church was given by the Lord Himself when He instructed: "For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Doctrine and Covenants 115:4). To be true to that...

Oh, I totally forgot about Mega Piranha.

I now desperately want to see both of those movies.

Avalanche Sharks was just hokey. But there were actually some freaky moments in Big Ass Spider. Arachnophobia is deeply ingrained in the primate amygdala, after all.

I agree. In the stories there seemed to be a clear message that Alphas and Omegas were superior somehow. Romance novels are basically fantasy fulfillment, so I'm sure the Omegaverse serves to fulfill somebody's deepest desires. I've noticed that most of these Alpha/Omega novels are written by women,...

Krull ? How dare you! I love that movie! (especially with James Horner's awesome soundtrack) Mazes and Monsters is actually based on a true story of a kid that gets caught up in Dungeons and Dragons. It was during that whole moral panic about D&D and how it would turn your kids into satan worshippe...

So I've been listening to gay romance audiobooks lately. (What a way to start a conversation!) It's helping me to fill a void in my life while I figure out how to get out there and meet a special someone. Very hard to do when you're gay, on top of all of the other challenges of dating in middle age....

Let's pretend he is in charge now, when the church is hemorrhaging members. And let's also pretend that he could get away with it. Would his truth lead him to save the church by eliminating the threats? And in a twisted way this is kind of how the church operates. They don't physically kill people,...

p.s. Cthulhu lives. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociate...
