Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Interest.
10·9 days agoYes. We have been talking about it for 30 years at this point.
4·10 days agoI meant the 50 Shades from Twilight. Lol. I’m not in the Twilight demographic so I’d heard of 50 Shades years before I heard of Twilight. I had no idea there was a connection.
1·10 days agoWhat city is this? It sounds wonderful.
They did a movie reboot a few years ago.
The theme from SWAT in the 70s is the GOAT of tv themes. https://youtu.be/LHDg96-ZN_U
4·13 days agoI don’t have an answer for Afghanistan. We suck. Iraq? My understanding is that we wouldn’t go without a UN resolution which was not forthcoming. We have officers posted in other countries for various exchanges and they fought with their host countries. So we had a few hundred people there in various roles. I don’t know about the clandestine participant.
We have. Notably during the World Wars. But we didn’t instigate those conflicts. We managed to avoid Viet Nam. We were involved in Korea but that was following a UN resolution.
Canada? We’ve been in a bunch of fights but haven’t picked them ourselves. Consider the bloody battle for Han Island as an example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War
Because the laws of the Caymans allow corporations to keep owners and directors secret. So once money hits the Caymans it becomes nearly impossible to trace.
This film sort of explains it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laundromat_(2019_film)
The blackface is a little out of step with the times. Tough to edit that part out.
Trading Places. It should be a Christmas classic but…
A rich kid. It happens.
7·20 days agoI liked those shoes. Too bad.
That’s a mature attitude. There are people out there who are selfish lovers and won’t talk it out. I have known people with very specific issues and boundaries that created barriers. I have known people that were so sheltered that they didn’t know that their “normal” is incredibly strange, and probably a fringe kink for someone. Not everything can be negotiated.
This is not true for the people in arranged marriages that I’ve discussed the issue with. The men had not been sexually naive before the marriage. Women explained it as finally being able express affection so it was like a dam bursting into one person. They felt that sex was a critical ingredient to the marriage. Granted that has only been a handful of cases where that frank discussion took place, and it is only with a single cultural group, so you may have more extensive experience.
