Shitty is totally a proper swear.

Also single people can have more sex and more varied sex because they can exist in endless hookup streams whereas relationships are built around things besides continual sex ( or at least alongside it).

Not the people on here though- people on the internet are way too ugly for that shit.

Yeah, Smarty, the thing is, people wouldn't bother with having an Awareness Day for Singles if they were busy having continuous non-committal sex.

Therefore all the people posting in this thread about how they are single, are single AND temporarily (if they're lucky) celibate.

Also, shitty is a proper swear, but effin' is not.

Not really.

Unless it belongs to a single single person, it should be Singles' Awareness Day.

Though, really, the most proper form, though not strictly followed anymore, is to avoid using the apostrophe to show possessiveness and instead the noun should be used as an attributive.

So, Singles Awareness Day is the most correct form.

Okay, I dunno about you, but here's an example. I do a sketch and can't find anything wrong with it, or I can, but I'm happy with it. CJ takes my sketch and does a sketch based off it, using my position and character, but totally changing the face. If I can get past CJ changing the face of my character, even if it's not what the character looks like in my own work, and admit that her work is better, I have overcome an egocentric bias.

Maybe CJ is better about accepting that kind of thing (in fact, I'm pretty sure she is), but I'm just a dude drawing my own characters with no formal training or experience with the critique process and am personally not quite as humble about work I'm proud of.

To extend this analogy, taking the work of a book into a movie is more like using my position and character, but changing their clothes, face, and hair, then calling it the same thing, only it's clearly drawn straight over my work. If I can sit on my backside and actually say CJ's rendition of the same scene and all her alterations to my character actually improves the piece, that's being pretty well humbled.

I don't know, continual sex sounds irritating.

Hey, that sentence is true whichever way you look at it!

It does eventually cause some soreness and chaffing, this is true.

Lots of lube. Like lots and lots of it. Also stop every hour for a cigar.

Krylo · 02-09-2010, 05:52 PM

That only helps the chaffing, not the soreness.

Nikose Tyris · 02-09-2010, 05:55 PM

But Krylo, what about the people in relationships having noncommittal sex? D:

According to Guinness World Records standards, you may take a 5 minute break every hour in any marathon activity. If I found a man with that amount of refractory period I'd try to convince Guinness to break their ironclad rule of keeping records family rated.
