This is what happens when a generation gives up on marriage and replaces it with hookup culture.

What is ‘fluid bonding’? Intimate sex act is growing in popularity

“Fluid bonding” — the act of intentionally sharing bodily juices with a sexual partner — is purportedly becoming a popular practice in bedrooms across the nation.

“Usually, unprotected sex is just a sort of casual, barrier-less erotic experience without communication and intention,” sexologist Jenny Skyler told MindBodyGreen.

In contrast, fluid bonding is done with the goal of being “more connected, [or to] have more sensation, intimacy or commitment.”

According to InsideHook, fluid bonding with a partner “is an active, conscious choice” that revolves around consent and intent.

“Fluid bonding is a term that describes a pre-established agreement between two or more people to intentionally go without barriers,” Luna Matatas, the creator of Peg the Patriarchy, told Women’s Health.

Um… this this how normal married people in healthy monogamous relationships have sex.

Every one of my married friends I sent this to was confused as to the difference between “fluid bonding” and regular intimate marital relations.

Then it dawned on me, all of my married friends are about my age, between 35 and 40.

We predate hookup culture.  Yes, we tried to get laid in college, but once we graduated, finding a significant other and getting married was the goal.  We were all married my our mid 20s.  We were either married or in serious relationships before the hookup apps hit the market.  Back when we were trying to get lucky, we had to meet other humans in person face to face in a public setting and that had a way of causing emotional attachments.

The Zoomers log on, swipe, have emotionless sex with someone they met for that explicit purpose, and then have to come up with some sort of new sexual act to create a simulacrum of what normal married people of the previous generations do regularly.

It’s like something straight out of Brave New World.

Part if me wants to laugh at the Zoomers for thinking they reinvented sex.  The other part of me wants to weep for the Zoomers in realization of how vacuous their interpersonal human connections are having grown up with apps, screens, and social media as a barrier between each one of them.

No matter how bad a story is coming out of New York City, the next one is worse.  I legitimately do not know what rock bottom is for that city, but I’m sure it is literally hell.

NYC man who tried to strangle 11-year old girl in park arraigned, out on bail

A 29-year-old man accused of trying to strangle an 11-year-old girl in a Manhattan park was arraigned and released on $7,500 bail on Saturday night.

Nathaniel Direnzo, of Saint Marks Place, was arrested on Saturday morning for a bizarre, broad-daylight attack on the young girl and another minor on Wednesday afternoon.

He was charged with second-degree strangulation, two counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child, second-degree harassment and two counts of assault.

A man strangles an 11-year-old and hits a 15-year-old and gets out on $7,500 bail.

This is justice in NYC.

I’m glad I live in Red county in a Red state.  If a grown man tired to strangle an 11-year-old girl in a park down here, the only thing for first responders to do would be haul away his body.

As it should be.

I just hope we haven’t absorbed enough New Yorkers to change the culture so that grown men who strangle children in North Carolina get bail instead of bullets and any parent who defends their child gets arrested.

At 24, Reed did not have much experience doing this. “Rust” was only her second film as lead armorer — and as details of the shooting emerge, many in the film industry have questioned her hiring; the shooting came just hours after the crew walked off the set, citing safety complaints and misfires.

On that day, according to the Santa Fe County County Sheriff’s Office search warrant affidavit obtained by the Associated Press, Reed prepared the three prop guns that were to be used in a scene by Baldwin. Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed one of those guns and handed it to Baldwin before the accident occurred, the affidavit said.

Peer of ‘Rust’ gun handler expresses shock: ‘I’m surprised any of this happened on her watch’

This is purely speculation on my part, so take it with the proverbial pound of salt.

I am an NRA certified Safety Officer and I was an IDPA Safety Officer for more than a decade. Your mission is simple: Make sure guns go off safely and the shooters and spectators go home with the same amount of blood they came in and no extra holes in them. You do that by not compromising the safety rules at all even if you are called names like asshole. In fact, the ability of being an asshole when needed is desired.

If I am a safety officer and I have people that have never shot with me, I will say words to the effect that I will not fuck around with safety and that I don’t care if you like me or not at the end of the day: You will be safe and act safely or you leave the range. Period.

How does that apply to Hannah Gutierrez Reed and the deadly shooting in Rust? Again, I am speculating, but I would not be surprised a bit if she was star-struck by the job and the actors.

Most everybody wants to be liked or at least not considered  meanies and that goes double if we meet somebody that makes us giggle and “squee” in celebrity palsy. We will relax our rules (sometimes unconsciously) so the objects of our admiration take a shine on us. Again, that is normal and even accepted behavior, but a deadly unacceptable one when it comes to gun safety.

There was a regular sanctioned IDPA match in a Southern State which I participated as Safety Office because it was a big deal and a feather for your S.O. cap. As expected, some of the “celebrity” shooters wearing them full sponsorship shirts,  attended and the Match Director/Owner was making certain they had a good time. Without going into details, let’s say that some hard calls were made by our stage’s lead S.O. and the Match Director/Owner took affront to the point of engaging in a shouting match with the lead S.O. and reversing his safety violation DQ call for a sweep with a loaded firearm.

That was the first and last time I ever attended that “super match” even as a plain shooter. I simply could not afford the responsibility of an injury nor being the recipient of one because the Match Director/Owner wanted to share beers and take selfies after the match with sponsored shooters.

If you have been involved in gun safety with live firearms, you know this well. You have been the recipient of anything from cute girls giggling and batting eyes to the Chest Thumper issuing veiled threats so you relax the rules and let them color outside the lines. And if you are any decent about our job, you went home with a full collection of insults, mainly among them is the word asshole. The funny part is that we take the word as a badge of honor and not an insult because it meant we curbed some unsafe idiot from doing stupid shit.

So I believe Ms. Reed, young as she is, may have been influenced by being around the Tinsel Town glitterati and also the prospect of drumming more business for the future. If you are not liked in Hollywood, you don’t get called even if you are the pinnacle of safety and make a movie look good. It is high-priced high-school behavior from the Dancing Monkeys.

Again, it is my opinion on just one of the many bad things that lead to an unnecessary death.

Hat Tip T Snabe

While I was waiting for the background check to be completed by TBI after getting my Ruger Predator, I noticed a gentleman handling and admiring a beautiful lever action for sale (I believe it was a Henry Brass Wildlife, but not sure). He ran the action a couple of times and sounded smooth as butter and you can tell he liked it a lot. But he gave it back to the salesman and passing on the gun because there is no ammo for it.

Yes, the rifle was chambered for .30-30.

I thought it was weird. I figure that if you want it and can afford it, you should get it anyway and wait for the ammo to show up back in the shelves.  The again, I may understand the gentleman thinking why buy a gun you can’t shoot?  Some people (me included) don’t care for show pieces or safe queens, if we have a gun is because we can shoot it (Which does not mean we do it regularly, but that is another story for a different day).

If you think about it, this “restraining” on shopping a gun is not uncommon, but it was applied to obsolete/extinct calibers/unpopular or chamberings so new, there is no a well established supply line yet. But for the venerable .30-30? It boggles my mind.

Which is why I do want to thank you and pass the eternal gratitude of my Brother in Law to those of you who have shared your precious finds and stock so he can keep his lever gun fed.

Hat Tip KC and His Moonshine Can

This is the official video of the swearing in of Admiral Levine:

At the 4:33 mark, Levine says he is proud to be the “first female four-star officer of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.”

Except he’s not.

This is a grotesque language creep of the radical Left.

We were told that gender is unrelated to sex.  That anyone could identify as a “woman” because that was a socially defined gendered term.

Now, this person identified as a female.  Not a woman but a female.  A strictly biological term.

Under no circumstances is that remotely acceptable.

This is the highest ranking member of the USPHSCC and second highest ranking person in the Public Health Service obliterating biological reality.

Words have no meaning anymore.

We live in a dumpster fire clown world where these is only an endless present in which the Party is always right.
