not-ends 17

The classic New York experience? Admiring the Statue of Liberty. The classic New Jersey experience? Admiring the Statue of Liberty's ass.

If you've never been depressed or suicidal, you have an elevated sense of denial.

Often, in laundromats or restaurants, you're forcibly exposed to televisions playing vapid, mind-numbing programming. You have two choices. Sit as far away as you can, or so close that you can't see it. I recommend the latter. Humans can more easily ignore a loud noise than visual temptation.

People give money when they don't want to give of themselves.

There are only two animals on Earth whose vulvas are oriented toward the front - humans and bonobos. Is it possible that you have no idea what a bonobo is?

The only drawback to reading books digitally is the social aspect unique to mass transit commuters and park sitters. When books were all paper, your train/bus reading was more than an enrichment or way to pass the time - it was a declaration of who you were. Your fellow travelers saw your book cover, and knew what you stood for. Digital books save trees, but push us further into our anti-social shells.

Nobody in this world gets the amount and kind of sex they need, except for seven gay men in New York City. And even those seven are irreversibly scarred by a lack of emotional intimacy. We are well and truly fucked, he declared with no small trace of irony.

When will the movement spearheaded by Malcolm X and Muhammed Ali expand to include white folk rejecting their slave master names?

The most redundant phrase in the history of language? "Amateur psychoanalyst".

I didn't pay close attention when i bought my hair conditioner. I now see the bottle says "for colored hair". I'm very confused.
