Youth of West Bengal’s Durgapur are ‘High’ on Condoms and Locals are Baffled
A handful of youth residing in Durgapur is under the grip of a strange addiction. To everyone’s shock, in the past few days sale of flavored condoms has drastically increased in various parts of Durgapur such as Durgapur City Center, Bidhannagar, Benachiti, and Muchipara, C Zone, A Zone. The rather bizarre occurrence has raised questions among all. Out of sheer curiosity, a local shopkeeper asked a young man, a regular customer at his shop. In response, the young man said, he regularly buys condoms to get intoxicated.
Understandably, the people of Durgapur are baffled after learning about this new “means” of addiction. Dheeman Mandal, who works at Durgapur Divisional Hospital, responded to the unusual fascination and said: “Condoms contain aromatic compounds. It breaks down to form alcohol. It is addictive. This aromatic compound is also found in dendrites glue. So many people use dendrite for addiction also.”
Analyzing this further, Durgapur RE College Model School Chemistry teacher Nurul Haque said, “The long-term soaking of condoms in hot water causes intoxication due to the breakdown of large organic molecules into alcoholic compounds.”
Shopkeepers of a medical shop in Durgapur say: “Earlier 3 to 4 packets of condoms were sold per shop per day. And now a pack of condoms are disappearing from a store.”

ARMSTRONG! (Ignore the warning; there is no NSFW content.)
Why Do Rich People Love Quiet?
New York in the summer is a noisy place, especially if you don’t have money. The rich run off to the Hamptons or Maine. The bourgeoisie are safely shielded by the hum of their central air, their petite cousins by the roar of their window units. But for the broke—the have-littles and have-nots—summer means an open window, through which the clatter of the city becomes the soundtrack to life: motorcycles revving, buses braking, couples squabbling, children summoning one another out to play, and music. Ceaseless music.
I guess she’s (?) never heard the phrase “so loud you can’t hear yourself think,” or maybe that’s just ever, uh, been an issue. But, in general, complaining about the character of a place where no one wants you to be is shitty and short-sighted. The self-assembling ghetto is a gift to everyone else.
“flavored condoms”
What’s the point?
“So many people use dendrite for addiction also.”
The nerve of these people!
The shortages they’re driving will increase the spread of monkeypox or something?
Otherwise… I got nothin’. I care about this as little as I care about kids huffing paint or whatever other stupidity they do. Not my thing, think it is stupid — but I’m not their parent. Only time I care is when some poor retail clerk has to come “approve” of my gas treatment purchase because now *anything* that smells chemical just *has* to be guarded from the teens or something.
reservoir?
Are you asking what is the point of flavored condoms in general, or in this specific Bengali application of them?
“The long-term soaking of condoms in hot water causes intoxication due to the breakdown of large organic molecules into alcoholic compounds.”
Indian food is already hard enough on the stomach.
Are flavored condoms cheaper then sugar?
Naan shall pass!
You will curry no favor with Swiss.
Did you hear about the indian chef that didnt make traditional dishes?
He was a naan-conformist.
Wasn’t he the one who came into the hardware store looking for paint because he wanted his house to have a tan door?
This resort is populated with Tres bait. You’d be losing your mind.

Twitter has two kinds of warnings. “The following media includes potentially sensitive content” which they seemingly put on things at random, that just requires an extra click. Then there is “adult content” that asks you to sign in. I haven’t look into how to get around the second kind.

Oh. Duh.

It’s 5 o’clock and my brain is fried
Can you turn those off? That first one especially is just annoying.
Privileged kids sleep at night instead of hanging out on the streets.
I wonder if there’s any causality there.
Perhaps it’s not so much that rich people love quiet, but that only they can afford it. All those truly poor people out on the streets until midnight would probably prefer to be in air-conditioned slumber. And apparently that’s my last free Atlantic article. Womp, womp.

Spain has decided to move on a law that would ban most places from setting their air conditioning temperature below 72 degrees Celsius.
umm
Laws are stupid. Although mine is set to 80°F and it’s plenty chilly.
Da fuq? You must be some sort of suthen type person.

I’ve been an infrequent visitor lately – does he no longer post here?
He stuck his head in a while back and mentioned he had some health issues; I haven’t seen him since, sadly.
My thermostat is 75 for cooling, 65 for heating. I would prefer 70.
Mine is 69 for heating.
Giggity.
s/h//;
I don’t mind the cold as much. At 75 I need fans.
74 cool, 72 heat.
+/- 2 degrees either way.
One of the few pluses of a small place is I can set the temp however I like, bills are never that high.
We keep it at 77-78.
Me, too. Soul, disco, funk, Fleetwood Mac, Queen…
Jesus, the top 100 songs of 1977 are 85 “Nope”s, 11 “Meh”s, and 4 “all right”s

They mention ’27’ repeatedly in the quoted section, so that’s just lazy AF.
Mine is at 74.
Celsius??
Didn’t see that is in degrees commie. 74 degrees freedom.
74 C would be rather toasty indeed.
Today, the part of Hyperbole will be played by Rat.
We have a huge air-conditioning system. It’s absolutely enormous.
It’s called Alaska.
How can you survive a high of 72?
Cold beer, and plenty of it.
I think they mean 27.
But yeah… fuck that.
Another reason to stay home where it supposedly doesn’t apply.
*turns AC down to 72*
I’m old enough to remember summers that were so hot, dozens of elderly people in Chicago were dying. So yes Klaus, let’s ban air conditioning. Assholes.
Maybe, just maybe, they are trying to kill us.
I’m old enough to remember summers being so hot in Europe that the news talked about lots of old people dying. In the early 2000s. Still surprised more places over there don’t have AC.
It’s been interesting watching the “take rate” on AC in cars go up. I don’t remember the numbers, but seems like in western Europe it was maybe 10% in 1980 and is over 60% now.
I didn’t even think about cars, can’t imagine one of those not having AC. Last car my family owned without AC was in the 90s.

“Why Do Rich People Love Quiet?”
I read that yesterday and had similar thoughts to you.
So no poor people live in the middle of nowhere? 🙄
What, flyover country?
Who cares about those people? This is the Atlantic, for sooper-smart people, who live in big, coastal cities.
They’re probably white and Republican anyway.
Are they even really people if there’s not a Michelin starred restaurant nearby?
This is the Atlantic, for sooper-smart people, who live in big, coastal cities.
But not people that have a place in the Hamptons.
Those are rich people, who need to pay their fair share.
Not like me, who is paying too much, despite having the correct opinions.
Our second and her family live in a tiny little rented house in a tiny little town in eastern Iowa. They don’t make much for money, especially with three kids. But the one thing they do like: “It’s so quiet here.” That and that the kids can play outside.
I’m all about that Boebert yougurt.
The Internal Revenue Service bought nearly $700K in ammunition earlier this year which begs the questions, why do their agents need guns to do their job and who are the IRS arming their agents against?
This has been going on for awhile.
yogurt*, even.
“$700K in ammunition”
That’s only a couple of cases.
Law enforcement and protective services are spread across agencies. The IRS has its own criminal investigation agency. It probably has its own protective service as well. Just more bureaucratic bloat and inefficiency.
And don’t forget the US Department of Education had (and may still) a SWAT team.
I think even the Department of Education has been buying ammo.
Clearly the Republican party is a domestic threat.
2024 National Republican Primary:
Trump 52%
DeSantis 19%
Pence 7%
Haley 5%
Cruz 3%
Pompeo 1%
Rubio 1%
T. Scott 1%
Bleh. Really want those top two flipped.
That said, WTF answers political polls any more?
I understand a Trump return would be a stick-it-to-the-ds event, but he is old and should step aside.
I believe he will.
I hope so. And I hope he does so without casting shade at DeSantis.
If he voluntarily steps aside, I doubt he’ll cast shade at DeSantis. He likes to be viewed as a winner, so if he’s not in the race he’ll want to attach his horse to the winning wagon, as long as it doesn’t throw shade at him. If he enters the primaries that’s a different story.
Trump and the seven dwarves, again?
Most people have zero idea who any of those other people are in relation to the possibility of being president. They don’t know where they stand on most issues and a whole host of other things. But they do know exactly who Trump is, what he stands for, and how much he pisses off the right people.
Of course they picked him first.

Yes. I posted the first one. The death threats just add to the stupidity of the whole thing.
I’d like her prosecuted for hit and run with an injury just like anybody else.
I’d also like to see the bike messenger ticketed and prosecuted and have a good share of contributory negligence in the inevitable lawsuit. But for my last point I may as well believe in the Easter Bunny.

Meghan, you dishonest cunte.
I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead –
Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster.
The voters have spoken – be careful what you wish for…
Kari Lake seems to irritate all the correct people.
Shame and degradation
Meghan McCain criticized Trump-endorsed candidate Kari Lake’s lead in the Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary on Wednesday, saying the state has gone “full blown MAGA.”
As of Wednesday morning, Lake leads Karrin Taylor Robson, who was endorsed by former Vice President Mike Pence and current Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), by about 1.7 percentage points, or about 11,300 raw votes, according to The Associated Press. The AP has not called the race and estimates about 20 percent of the votes have yet to be counted.
“I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead,” McCain wrote on Twitter.
“Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster,” she added. “The voters have spoken – be careful what you wish for.”
Poor baby. You’ll have to move to California now.
We need to prevent these MAGAs from upsetting the status quo. Because the status quo is so great right now.
It’s great for grifting swamp creatures who want approval from the left.
I hear fentanyl is good for those suffering from TDS.
“OPEC tells Biden we won’t produce more oil in embarrassing blow: Saudi-led group only increases production by a ‘miniscule’ amount as White House scrambles to insist Biden didn’t meet MBS to ask for help with supplies”

This is whole thing is so stupid and evil. Shut down domestic supplies because climate change, then buy more foreign oil.
The admin is pandering to their base which include the watermelons and their allies and supporters. Moving the production off-shore avoids offending them as does domestic oil exploration and production. It also accomplishes the secondary goal of making it more expensive to operate cars, leading to a decline in car ownership, increasing demand for “public” transportation, reducing freedom of movement. Electric vehicles are a bait-and-switch, just like cash for clunkers.
Shut down domestic supplies because climate change, then buy more foreign oil.

In other words, the case can then be collapsed by triggering a smaller explosion. Rather than pursue wider conspiracies connected to the influence peddling, Hunter could be indicted on a few tax or lobbying counts. That would allow for a plea bargain that would allow the media to focus narrowly on those counts and not the broader influence peddling by the Biden family.

“Blue and Gray Highway” isn’t bad. Both armies marched back and forth through the area until ’64-’65 when Gray found it could no longer go North.
I’m surprised Fredericksburg hasn’t renamed the Blue and Gray Parkway.
Texas taxes everything except groceries. Works well. But chances are you will pass that and not get rid of the older taxes, hence increasing your burden overall. That is why nothing has been done in Texas – nobody trusts the government to reduce or eliminate property taxes in favor of a larger sales tax.

You need more hurricanes. I can’t think of why appliances are included.
If a hurricane makes it to Cleveland, I think we’re all proper fucked. Past couple of days have had several waterspout sightings on the lake though…
Hurricanes in Cleveland.
Superduperstorm Sandy is on the list but didn’t bring hurricane force winds to Cleveland.
Dennis and Isabel were just the remnants of the hurricane. I guess close enough for whomever put together that list.
I didn’t look at the others.
I remember Isabel. The hurricane lined up with the Chesapeake pushing a storm surge that flooded parts of Baltimore.
By the time they got here, they were just another rain storm.
So then it was a “low pressure system”.
Our local authorities have been kind enough to allow us to pay traffic fines with school supplies. Praise our overlords for showing grace.

Sales tax holiday?
Move to state without a sales tax or abolish the one in your state.
There’s been rumblings about Ohio getting rid of the individual income tax, I feel sales taxes are a better taxation system over income or property.
It is easier to avoid.
Possibly, but should be no exceptions except for: condoms, ammo, bacon, steak, booze, bacon, and lingerie.
Those all get sin taxes.
If I were king, those sin taxes would get you a 3% discount.
Texas taxes everything except groceries. Works well.
The issue is trying to define groceries. Same type of thing here, as an example, to-go food from a restaurant is tax free, except for sweetened beverages (as they aren’t exempt under the normal grocery definition).
So they only tax coffee if there is sugar in it?
In most states there is no tax on food, but here is a tax on food from a restaurant.
I believe so on coffee. I know that’s the case for iced tea. Go to a fast food place, order a to-go meal with unsweetened tea versus sweet tea, and you should have two different total costs (by a couple of cents).

Is there a scintilla of interest in a midweek zoom? If so I can do it.
I have a secret plot to adopt a kitten from a friend of ours in Pahrump tonight. I am convinced that my 2 year old cat Felix wants a playmate, and our friend is rehoming the last kitten from her rescue cat’s litter (yes, rescue cat is getting spayed next week).
My husband might kill me, so I can’t commit to a Zoom beyond 9 PM Pacific Daylight. But I’d be OK with it beforehand.
Does that count as a scintilla? I always enjoy conversing one-on-one, but I’m-a be cooking dinner as well as listening in.
Yeah, that counts. I am expecting a grocery delivery in the next hour, and after that I am cooking stroganoff so I might do the Kitchen Zoom as well.

Have you heard about this guy?
You still don’t get it, do you, Kinzinger?
Meijer’s race was among a number of primaries in which the Democratic campaign arms spent money on Trump-backed candidates, a strategy seemingly aiming to make it easier for Democrats to win general elections.
“I mean, the DCCC needs to be ashamed of themselves,” Kinzinger said.
“If Peter’s opponent wins and goes on in November to win, the Democrats own that. Congratulations,” he continued. “Here’s the thing, don’t keep coming to me asking where are all the good Republicans that defend democracy and then take your donors’ money to spend half a million dollars promoting one of the worst election deniers that’s out there.”
Although some Democrats have spoken out against the DCCC’s strategy, top Democratic officials such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have come out in favor of the tactic.
“The political decisions that are made out there are made in furtherance of our winning the election,” Pelosi said last week, “because we think the contrast between Democrats and Republicans — as they are now — is so drastic that we have to win.”
They couldn’t give a fuck less about unity and healing, or “working across the aisle” you dupe. They will toss you out like a crusty sock as soon as you have outlasted your usefulness.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have come out in favor of the tactic.
The thought of her being frog-marched out of Congress by these horrid extremists amuses me.
It’s amazing to me that there could be such naifs in politics as would be unable to see the Democrats’ “democracy” posturing as nothing more than craven propagandizing. The Democrats freaked out about Dobbs (which increased democratic accountability) and have been consistently anti-democratic whenever things don’t go their way. The last thing they believe in is democracy, so if you find yourself siding with them when the issue is “democracy” you must know you’re being played.
Since they gerrymandered him out of a district, they basically already did toss him out, but I guess he’s just teeing up for those guest spots on MSNBC and op-eds as the Principled Conservative Against Current Republican.

It’s totally ridiculous.
My sister is 2 years older than I. Our friend and walking-distance neighbor was a girl right between our ages, so we became besties and hung out at one of our two houses all the time.
Neighbor girl had a little brother, like 3-4 years younger, and his dad was sadly bedridden, so brother just wanted to be included (this is the late 70s, early 80s, BTW). So we had to let brother play with us sometimes. And that could entail playing with Barbies, paperdolls, and other feminine things. He went right along with it just to be included!!
What would happen to such a kid today if his teacher found out he liked to play Barbies with his sister and her girl friends?
(He’s fine and happily married to a female human and has kids.)
I may have gotten a lil too much sun today. 😕

“Banning the word ‘groomer’ is a sinister sign
A number of social media platforms, including Reddit, have banned the word “groomer” when used as an insult, considering it hate speech.
Although the term, as popularized by author James Lindsay on his New Discourses podcast, is being used to combat both sexual abuse and leftist indoctrination, the argument has been misrepresented by mainstream news outlets as a slur against gay and transgender people.
Sexual and gender minorities have certainly faced false stereotypes of being sexual abusers, and contrary to what some would have you believe, many of these minorities are horrified at the cultural push to expose children to sexually inappropriate material. If anything, this activism is what is doing a disservice to gay people. The average person isn’t aware of the disconnect between LGBT+ activism and the gay community and doesn’t realize that activists are pushing their own agenda while operating under the guise of caring about gay people.
Parents have the right to oppose gender ideology and queer theory in K-12 education. It also isn’t “hate speech” to call someone a groomer when what they are doing is grooming. A similar theme has been evident in the obsession with incorporating drag queens in schools and child-centric events. Claims of supporting diversity and offering care to young people are Trojan horses for gaslighting the public into believing that sexualizing children is normal…”

Hey rv lady…
We were at a winery the other day, doing some wine tasting. Overheard the owners talking with a dude who pulled in right before us in his rv. Turns out the winery welcomes campers. Maybe something to consider in your travels. I don’t know how common it is, but something to think about.
Uh, that didn’t work for me. What to i have to do???
