For the picnic, I will bring a festive pig to slaughter and to cook in a pit. Or I can bring paper plates. Let me know.

You don't know.

To lower the carbs, I substitute ice for the potatoes in my tater salad. It's a cold wet mayonnaisey relishy concoction. Delish.

I don't drink. It gives me a headache and makes me tired. If I wrote while drinking, it'd just be ornery ramblings, much like someone who was tired an...

You'd have to quarantine in a kennel for 30 days and if no evidence of kennel cough you can go to your forever home if you can find someone to take yo...

My feedback tends to be substantive, as in what the story was about and what I got from it. I lack the expertise to tell anyone about sentence structu...

Let's first acknowledge a truth here and that is that water does put out fires. The Covid vaccine works. There is no evidence to the contrary. I mean ...

It's not clear there is any aboutness to these posts, so whatever you post should fit in pretty well.

Nice! That was a good one upsmanship post you just posted. You're good at this. Keep up the good work.

I like to go past the fence to where the roller coaster flips upside down and gets close to the ground. I lie on my back and grab people's hats off th...

You get your own bedroom? Are you a prince or something? I have to share a bed with someone.

The story did capture the dysfunction of this family, which wasn't limited to the father's obvious issues, but it included the concealment of the fath...

As one of the participants, I can tell you that far more important than the voting are the comments, which is hypocritical to some degree because I've...

I agree with this, and I was actually hesitant to offer a solution because I figured it would just add more discussion to this whole thing despite it ...

I don't know about "most of the time." My decision to have kids was pretty deliberate. If it was based upon sex just feeling good, I'd have had far mo...

A solution would be to set up three polls. The first, you vote for first place. The second, second place. The third, third place. Every first place vo...

None of us are prophets, and all we predict could be incorrect, but the data shows steady and clear signs of worldly improvement over long periods of ...

I'm sorry to hear of your struggles, I truly am, but what you describe isn't evidence of a deteriorating world that would dissuade me from having chil...

Kinda hurts to hear you say that. Me not being there and all.

I just did your thought experiment, and I disagree. But even should I agree that there is an imaginable life not worth living, those lives are few and...

I don't think an atheist would find a problem finding deeper meaning and wisdom when reading any literature, whether that piece of literature is one f...

Even assuming suffering negates the value of life, which I don't, the world is improving over time: https://singularityhub.com/2016/06/27/why-the-worl...

Whatever happened to Sheps I wonder or XZJoel? At some point when Covid is finally over, we need to do an in person meet up, maybe a potluck. I'll bri...

Nope, what I said was that the only dick move was to vote for your own story. I wasn't saying it was a dick question you asked. Not sure how that was ...

Judaism might be a cult under that definition. At some level, "cult" is a subjective term, suggesting it's bad versus "religion" which doesn't carry t...

Only if you have decided the best story is your own.

Can we change the voting rules to include the bold: "Everyone, including the pussies who didn't write a story,don't be a dick and vote for yourself + ...

I'm almost through talking about dicks.https://youtu.be/7QQSTbeUitk

When's the next contest? I want to write a story about a guy who always votes for himself. I'll call it The Dick Vote. The irony will be that my story...

I've always made all major decisions with my dick. No reason to stop now.

@"Baden" People could submit their votes to you in a PM. It wouldn't be totally anonymous, but it would allow you to publish who the dick votes were.
