I blame the way the BDSM community talks about consent. Like you get them to sign a forum in a office setting and then all bets are off. Its not supposed to be a mechanical business agreement -- unless you are hiring a hooker.

That's a "50 Shades of Grey"'s f'd up understanding of BDSM, not real BDSM.

Porn actors and actresses sign a contract that puts them in that black and white position because it's a staged performance to sell a fantasy. Private bdsm stuff is consentual and requires a lot of trust between those engaging in the behavior.

Kink proly left Cali because of the mandatory condom usage for porn filming in Cali. Most consumers want to see unprotected sex, so the market dictates unprotected sex since it's a business.

Also, this whole aversion to sex and sexual dynamic in the workplace categorically is severely misguided. I'd never swap fluids for safety, but I'm far far more valuable when I have all other options open for managing the psychology of my fellow-samurai. Particularly now that everything I do is accomplished with voice and legs. ^^

Working was very depressing when I had to charcoal-filter my personality. My coworkers are way happier now too and we definitely make more money with me pulling all levers available. My employees get prettier and healthier and they dress better and smile when they come to work and I don't hurt them. [You must be logged in to view images.

So one place the Democratic elite have been getting their dumb fucking ideas on how to resist Trump -- is a billionaire hedge fund manager Tom Steyer.

The billionaire has been the biggest donor to Democrats in recent election cycles, to the tune of nearly $200 million. His national stature has grown recently with a series of straight-to-camera ads, calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. That campaign will continue, Steyer said, adding that he will be delivering copies of “Fire and Fury,” the Michael Wolff book infuriating Trump’s White House, to all congressional offices.

I just hope he is stupid enough to run for president himself. Which it sounds like he may be. Whenever I see some crap billionaire candidate that fancies himself a man of the people -- I'll call him Steyer.

Steyer has been playing heavily in races across the country in recent years, largely through his NextGen political group that initially was focused on climate issues. The group relaunched in 2016 with a broader mandate, not zeroing in on any one issue.

“We have taken a disastrous turn, and now we need to get back to a path to a just and prosperous future,” he said.

In other words he is full of shit and doesn't care about anything except being in power and maybe the environment. Fucking gross.

Oprah might run for president apparently...

Here is a list of what we know about Oprah's politics:

Winfrey favors increased background checks on guns

Winfrey supportive of paths to citizenship for undocumented immigrants

Winfrey a staunch advocate of LGBT rights

Winfrey stressed importance of press freedom at Golden Globes

‘60 Minutes’ approach signals wish to lessen political polarization

Winfrey questioned the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq

What's missing here?.....hmmmmm....what important issue that everyone cares about is mysteriously missing from the to-do list of the most benevolent woman on daytime T.V.?

hmmmm

climate change

[JurisDictum]

Ahh shit I didn't even realize she missed out on climate change posturing.

But as MM knows -- I was referring to wealth inequality. The party elite is desperate. They need some plutocrat-friendly nominee and soon. How else are they going to crowd out all the legitimate populist candidates?

Oprah would lose us the election likely...she would turn it into a white vs everyone else kind of deal. Her advisers probably couldn't wait to get hysterical about any criticism directed her way being racist. This would pretty much instantly turn off the non-SJW population.
