Anyone object to us being referred to as donuts?

I think everyone thinks porn is weird? well, SEX is weird. most people don't openly admit that, but everyone who's ever had sex totally knows this a TRUE FACT. this reminds me of that part in Dogma where Alan Rickman says that angels make fun of the ridiculous faces people make during sex. this is not to say that sex isn't awesomesauce, because I certainly think it is. but it's also HILARIOUS when you think about it.

okay, I watched the clip and was expecting worse? I see more boob displayed in many, many other places every day. and hahaha, your childcare philosophy is a lot like mine. I work with first graders every day and our way of dealing with a lot of things is to just let them learn on their own that things are bad or will get them hurt. yes, I have let kids fall on the playground when I knew they were going to get hurt. but you know what? they never did it again. best teaching tool ever.

That's why I think I'd be fine HAVING sex, but watching sex is just never going to do it for me. If you're not involved in it, I don't see the payoff. You just get all the awkward parts with none of the awesome parts. You're watching OTHER PEOPLE get the awesome parts. Sure, it was a little titillating, but mostly after I watched it, in addition to confused, I just felt really deeply sad. I can't really explain it, but I felt lonely and sad for myself and sad for the people who made that and just SAD. SAD ABOUT SEX.

YOU GET THEM OUT OF CHILDHOOD ALIVE AND THAT'S YOUR ONLY JOB. I was especially one of those kids who the more you said "no" or "when you're older" the more likely I was to do something, so I know EXACTLY the crazy lengths kids will go to to disobey. It's safer, honestly, to let them scrape their knees and eat dirt and swing from the highest monkey bar.

he's Muslim, I think? I think someone referred to him as "Desi"? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, GUYS. I mean, I know there are Muslims in that part of Africa because of trade and I paid attention in ninth grade history, but therein ends my knowledge

Idk about Yusef in canon, I didn't catch it one way or another, but Muslim's a pretty damn broad category. Narrow it down and then you might want to start playing in that ballpark. As for desi, I've seen it used to describe people of Indian and Pakistani descent. According to the wiki it can also be used for (some) people who are Bangledeshi/Bengali, Sri Lankan, or Nepali. Dileep Rao's parents are from India, if you want to blend actor/character background.

but when Melissa linked to a bunch of amateur stuff and was like I SWEAR THIS IS AWESOME I was like "oh, alright. I'm an adult. I should at least try it. For at least educational reasons."LKLSDKJFLDSKJFDSLKJFSD HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH. OH YOU. But yes. Sex is generally funny looking (why I can't get into most

THAT IS MY HOPE BECAUSE DAMN IF IT'S AS AWFUL AS IT LOOKS I'M (NOT) FUCKED

My very short input: desi = South Asian. Not usually a self-referential term, particularly on the West Coast here. maybe it's more of a British thing, idk. Suggested reading: Born Confused, the chronicles of an ABCD girl - American-born confused desi.
