@TimStone Okay, I kiiiiinda get where they're coming from (pun not intended) but a) the zone gets too close to "disinterested" to make me feel liek they really get what they're doing and I just...COMMUNICATION, people. Also, 200 dollars? WHAT. b) if you need something like this because of an imbalance in like...sexual needs, that's a thing, I get that but aaaaaargh this whole thing feels weird and c) I feel like this could end in like a "BUT I PRESSED THE BUTTON YOU OWE ME I PRESSED IT" badness

GodEmperorDune

@Ash yes, i feel it encourages less communication and more badness

Tim Stone

Right? Like one of the selling points is that it's sidestepping the apparent emotional reservation you have with your partner which uhhh maybe you need to address...that?

user15026

12:07 AM

Like I get the "if you both don't press then no one is the wiser" per se, liek your partner doesn't know you let them down, effectively but YOU know and then you STILL WONT TALK because you are like THE BUTTON DOES THE TALK

I've been in imbalanced desire relationships (okay yes it was more a sign of "oh this relationship has problems you're not dealing with" but still, bear with me for a moment) where we had trouble talking about it because both sides felt bad for wanting/not wanting, we had a system, and to be honest, that system DIDNT HELP and left me with stuff I AM STILL DEALING WITH.

@TimStone I would disagree on the "losing control of the ball" part. The ball did not touch the ground, nor any other player, and a shot or pass wasn't attempted, therefore the player maintained possession of the ball throughout, and in that time took 4 steps. That's a travel, IMHO.

Yep, that's my feeling too

And more importantly took 3 steps before he could have even been considered to have lost control of the ball.

Puppy-sized scoop: President Trump’s riff on getting a dog wasn’t entirely random. He was recently pitched on adopting a dog at the WH by campaign advisor, daughter-in-law & dog rescue advocate Lara Trump.

@karaswisher To me personally? I like how @elonmusk uses Twitter. He’s focused on solving existential problems and sharing his thinking openly. I respect that a lot, and all the ups and downs that come with it #karajack
