The Mites That Live and Breed on Your Face Have Anuses, Genome Study Finds
Scientists have finally unraveled the genetic secrets of humanity’s coziest roommates: Demodex folliculorum, also known as the skin mite. Among other things, the findings confirm that these mites actually do have anuses, contrary to previous speculation. They also indicate that the microscopic animals may not be as potentially harmful as commonly thought and that they’re evolving into co-dependent, symbiotic creatures that might provide us some benefits to boot.
D. folliculorum is actually one of two mite species that call us home, along with Demodex brevis. Both species are arachnids—more closely related to ticks than spiders—but D. folliculorum mites are the ones that usually reside (and mate) on our faces. These stubby worm-shaped critters live for two to three weeks, all the while embedded in our pores, clinging to our hair follicles, and primarily feeding off our sebum, the oily substance provided by our body to protect and moisturize the skin.
Moaning is not part of the female orgasm, new study says
Researchers studying the mysterious female orgasm have concluded that “moaning” is not part of it and should be removed from a scale routinely used to measure the phenomenon.
Women who were pre, peri and post-menopausal were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their orgasm experiences in both solitary and partnered contexts.
They included questions on both the Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS) and the Bodily Sensations of Orgasm Scale (BSOS) – both commonly used in scientific research into the sensation.
The ORS includes things like “trembling”, “quivering”, “building” and “pulsating” – as well as adjectives relating to emotional intimacy, like “loving”, “passionate” and “tender”.
The BSOS includes things like “faster breathing”, “lower limb spasms”, “facial tingling”, “sweating” and “increased heart rate”.
Researchers at the University of Ottawa found various bodily sensations in both scales to be present, including “choppy/shallow breathing”, “increased blood pressure” and “hot flashes”.
But they recommend that “copulatory vocalisations (eg moaning)” should be removed from the BSOS.
It is when I do it, baby.
Additionally, I’ve often thought the the biggest benefit to being homosexual would be dating someone with the same name at you. That way, when you scream out your own name during sex, no one gets mad at you.
The NYC mayoral office seems to lurch from dipshit to dipshit.
Also, destroy those naughty dirt bikes that force–force, I say!–people to ride them in an unsafe manner.
So many people being influences–nay! controlled!–by inanimate objects these days.
That way, when you scream out your own name during sex, no one gets mad at you.
My uncle was married twice – second wife had the same name as first wife. Smart uncle.
I let my moves do all the talking.
*wiggles eyebrows*
This is why Nikki is the worst.
Please tell me that your Uncle is the immortal Ron Swanson.
In my first job after college some co-workers and I had a band(?) and that was one of the few songs we could get through from beginning to end. I still like Cracker.
I don’t know about anyone else, but the thought of face mites with anuses makes me quiver and pulsate.
But not moan.
This is why you should boil your face every night before bed.
Is that so his face is moist?
There’s nothing like hot water and screaming to put me right to sleep.
It is when I do it, baby.
They’re faking it.

“Additionally, I’ve often thought the the biggest benefit to being homosexual would be dating someone with the same name at you.”
No, then it becomes overly cutesy and you are constantly referrred to as the Tims, the Toms, etc.
The biggest benefit is that you can swap clothes, and it doesn’t look odd. Or that you get a free wardrobe when your partner porks out. Always date someone chubbier with better taste in clothing.
**No, then it becomes overly cutesy and you are constantly referrred to as the Tims, the Toms, etc.**
Ew. That is bad.
I knew a hetero Brett and Britt. I used to tell everyone that “Brett and Britt” was the British brand name for “Fiddle Faddle.”
You are truly a monster.
But he is OUR monster.
Are you suggesting Tres is a cross-dresser?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.
Not if one of the two guys is much taller than the other. Ask me how I know.
How do you know
I’m taller than average. My partner is much taller than me. Other than an occasional t-shirt that shrank too much I couldn’t wear any of his clothes. It’s even less promising in the opposite direction.
Yeah, I have dated a guy with my name. It didn’t last long enough to get particularly annoying. And he was way skinnier than me.
What about biting?
Hawt.
Read that as “bitching” the first time. Thought I must be the world’s greatest lover.
HA!
What about looking bored and asking me if I’m close yet?
“wrap it up”
Better than “is that it?”
It’s a story about female orgasm, not Marv Albert orgasm.
With all the Euro soccer players dropping from vax clots, I was wondering if it would start hitting our pro athletes. Unfortunately the wait is probably over. Jaylon Ferguson passed away last night.

“Additionally, I’ve often thought the the biggest benefit to being homosexual would be dating someone with the same name at you. That way, when you scream out your own name during sex, no one gets mad at you.”
Plenty of dual use names out there. Sean, Taylor, etc.
I have a hetero couple that are friends, both named Cody.
Pat, Francis, Chris…
When I was a kid, Francis was the male spelling and Frances was female. Also Robin/Robyn.
I knew a Frances in high school. She had a very large clitoris. Described as “pinky-sized.”
People always told me things about other people’s genitals I didn’t want to hear. And I remember them all. It’s horrible.
Did she give you a facial?
I had a friend who used to fuck with people by telling stories about girlfriend he once had. He’d start off normal, but describe, very subtly, odd tics about her. Eventually he’d talk about her exceptionally large clit, that she loved to have sucked. Over the course of a 10-15 minute conversation he’d have people believing he had dated a dude with a small penis, but didn’t know it.
He was an absolute master at trolling people.
Eerie… That exact scenario was the plot of one of the FSU student films from the class or ’94 or ’95.
“She had the longest, hardest clitoris I’ve ever seen.” “And she kept whispering I want to stick it in your ass.”
heh. It’s possible he may have cribbed the routine from someone else. First time I heard him do it was in about 2001-2002 time frame. At the time he was in his late 50s.
My uncle Frank and his wife Frances were actually uncle Francis and aunt Frances
But is your uncle a sexy motherf***er?
Good idea.
Oh yeah.
I’m an uncle Francis and I had an aunt Frances. We are practically unrelated!
That’s what I used to think.
One of the loudest voices against Lia Thomas racing with women has come from a woman college swimmer named Riley Thomas. Nice bit of irony there.
Love me some Cracker. Think I’ll binge. Thanks, SF!
Also, I had no idea mites were fucking on my face. “Thanks”, SF.
When your face twitches, that’s them making the earth move.
I’m just going to put in a plug for “Eurotrash Girl,” which isn’t on YouTube or any of my music streaming services (although there is a fun cover version).
It’s on Kerosene Hat as a hidden track (#69, of course).

Elon will fix all this shit for us.
No love for “Ain’t Gonna Suck Itself“?
First thing I thought of when I saw that story about Tranny Strippers💗 Kids and the neon “It’s Ain’t Gonna Lick Itself” sign.
Thread fail below, but yes, they are notoriously tight with their music. The only ones on Amazon are songs on movie soundtracks and their two newest albums.
Does that make us all cucks?
Au contraire, Tonio
D’oh!
Wonder if they quiver and not moan
Let’s not forget the fathers of Cracker.
Divine.
As long as we can forget Uncle Kracker.
Who?
Not to dis the campers, but that’s a cover. Original here.
😐
Yes, and it’s an excellent one.
I thought it would be more interesting than this.
Agreed that the CVB cover is awesome.
Well, the mites have anus’, so it will be a mitey wind.
I’d ask for a narrowed gaze, but it can’t be narrower than a mite’s anus.
I can’t read about an animal anus without being reminded of a grocer who once advised me never to buy “chunk light” canned tuna, since a lot of the contents were the “fishes’ lips and anus”.
Orly.
Thank you for saying that. Everyone like a moaner.
Tasteful moaning is nice, but screamers are annoying.
Best is a continuous stream of breathy yeses. If you don’t get them you can ask, “Am I doing this wrong?”
“YES.”
I always figured moaning was more like the guys at the airport with two flashlights. More polite than, “Switch it up, dumbass!”
“More” and “harder.”
Orly
What was done there was seen.
‘But they recommend that “copulatory vocalisations (eg moaning)” should be removed from the BSOS.’
I’ll join the others in calling BS on BSOS.

I’m pretty sure this will not have a negative affect on their OnlyFans.
Cracker good.
Otter commandoes also good.
Is there anything Build Back Better can’t accomplish?

Only the government, not the markets, can ‘increase economic capacity’….whatever the hell that is.

these comments are particularly lit this afternoon. too bad I’m in the office and can’t fully take part. I at least closed my office door before checking them just in case of a real LOL
Look at Mr. Fancypants over here. He has an office with a door.
Yeah, but does it have a Kamala shaped Glory hole?
It’s not that great. It has a glass sidelight so I can’t get freekay in there.
Just cover it with a bunch of DEI posters.
I figured the hole was on the outside, Kamala’s face on the inside.
There’s no door, he’s just doing his Les Nessman bit.
I still reference that bit at work from time to time. I got a 20-something to watch some WKRP because of it. Good stuff.

THIS gem popped-up in my sidebar when I opened that.
Such a good album. I’ve been playing them a lot lately.
So many good songs today.
Portland Occupied Zone (POZ) unboxing video.
Is this the one from Incel Riot Studios?
Yes.
I backed the project on Indiegogo. I’m looking forward to receiving my copy.
Thank you for backing them. I’m going to buy that.
I have their earlier game Virtue Signal.
Needs sound leveling. The intro was blasting and then I couldn’t hear him speaking with the laptop speakers on full blast.
Yeah. I also noticed the sound was a bit out of sync with the video.
And better lighting. The sound problems are weird because he has a nice mic in front of him.
I reckon it isn’t a production issue, but a post problem. Instead of playing with the dynamics he probably normalized the volume, and with the intro being so much louder it probably squished the volume out of his audio.
I had totally forgotten about that game, and figured it was to annifa failing at hitting each other.
Apologies if drugs, ass… but Andrew Gillum, who came within a whisker of becoming Florida’s governor instead of Ron DeSantis, was indicted on 21 federal charges today.
Just another case of the police going after innocent Black men.

Gee, how many other elected officials and FedGov employees could that be applied to…?

Foursomes were always problematic
Back when Mrs. A and I were playing City of Heroes, I was having a lot of fun pushing the limits of their 17-and-up rating for character names. I got away with “Seymour Butz” for like three years until the server went dark, but got dinged for “Viagra Falls.” Go figure.
“Orgasm Rating Scale” would have been a fun one.
One of my friends back in the day used to use the trivia team name of “The Amazing Unbreakable Hymens”.

The new LP isn’t fucking around.
Any of you called?
Good. I hope this goes viral. Most importantly because the horror show we’ve created absolutely needs to stop immediately. Secondly, the LP needs to hold up a mirror to the uni-party trumpeting for war over Ukraine while completely ignoring the fact that they are themselves responsible for something even worse.
I didn’t think for one second that Dave Smith was fucking around when he said that the people that were taking over the party had big plans for changing the party’s messaging. The controlled opposition that was Sarwark and his ilk are gone and it’s time to show the world that liberty-minded people are the ones with the best ideas and have some actual fucking principles.
I called. it was easy.
I called it too. This kind of messaging is so obviously the direct to head. Our ruling class is a human rights violation machine that never sleeps. There is no shortage of the evidence of this. Make some quick videos demonstrating this and quickly win hearts and minds. The fact that they previous idiots couldn’t figure this out is pretty mind boggling.
I can’t wait until they are really able to convince Michael Malice to get involved. That little troll taken off his leash into the mainstream of political discourse could be the greatest thing that has happened to the political arena in generations. I have some small amount actual hope that these people have a messaging plan that the legacy/access/corporate media will be absolutely powerless to control and it may spread far enough to move the needle.
I called. got a voicemail for my representative and was able to leave a message. Both my Senators diverted to voicemail as well (“DC Voice Messaging”) but there was no option to leave a message.

There is System Shock remake coming this summer. Never played the original game, but I loved the BioShock series.
Yep, I backed the project many years ago. Did you play any of the Deus Ex games or the Arkane studio Prey game? Those have more in common with System Shock then BioShock.
I’ve played every Deus Ex game. With the exception of Invisible War, the series is excellent. Warren Spector had a major hand in both the original Deus Ex and System Shock 1 & 2, so they do share a lot of DNA. I’ve played SS2 but I’ve never played the first one and I feel like it’s not that highly regarded, but if that remake turns about to be decent, I’ll give it a whirl.
For fun, check out Razorfist’s retrospective on Deus Ex. When you’re done, check out anything else by Razorfist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1nqdKiLnTU
If you like those style of games, give Prey a shot. It was poorly marketed, has an ending that split the fanbase, but is the same style of game.
And I agree on the Deus Ex side. Thinking it over, I don’t know if I ever finished Invisible War, the dumbing down for consoles pissed me off too much.
I finished the original, and Invisible war, but I got to the first boss fight in the first prequel and discovered that they’d outsourced it such that stealth characters are boned.
Stopped playing the series and never returned.
I loved the original System Shock. Unfortunately, it’s unplayable in GOG form.

Earthquake: DeSantis leads Trump in primary poll of New Hampshire Republicans
I think this is a good thing. I’m still in the camp that DeSantis is going to end up being a loyal swamp creature that just has a supernatural sense of all the right things to say to the limited government crowd. I’m expecting a sequel to Trump in that way. All setup, no payoff (though probably some payoff in the Hunter Biden sense.)
Fair enough. I don’t think it’s “nonsense” but yeah, I’m tired of hearing about it. It’s over. They got away with stealing an election. Let’s not let it happen again.

Wow! SDF-7 figuratively crushed the competition today. Exceptional Quordling!
grrizzly beat Tulip in their tie-braker round today, so he will be facing off against Sean tomorrow. Whiz goes up against Cannoli. Good luck to all.
Very nice Quordling by (almost) everyone today. Average score was 24.9 and the T-Line split was a very impressive 21/4!
Sean’s chumpless streak is now 69 (giggity)
Now I have to go to work for The Man (me). I’ll play two songs that will blow some people’s minds for very different reasons.
This is how much I love you guys.
