  • I read about someone who studied how people act towards each other vs community
  • size. He studied towns in africa and found that people regularly greeted each other up to a certain population (don't recall that value) and when it got bigger they stopped.



    I've noticed myself doing the same thing on trails when hiking. I'll greet folks regularly (and so do they) until the number of people on the trail gets too dense then I stop. Seems like there is a burn-out factor.

The woman who can't stop orgasming Boing Boing

  • The woman has had the core of a sexual relationship utterly distorted. Where the vast majority of people are very protective of letting anyone see them orgasm, this woman is living this terrible nightmare where her ability to protect that part of herself is denied.



    Like many people who have been raped, abused, or traumatized sexually in other ways, her path to a relationship is not the path that many of the rest of us will take. People here who feel obliged to declare on the validity of her relationship display the repellent arrogance of those who mistake their good fortune for merit, and others' misfortune for moral failure: a fundamental lack of empathy that characterizes brutality.

Gluteus medius muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • With the leg in neutral (straightened), the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus function together to pull the thigh away from midline, or "abduct" the thigh. During gait, these two muscles function principally in supporting the body on one leg, in conjunction with the tensor fascia lata, to prevent the pelvis from dropping to the opposite side.


    Additionally, with the hip flexed the gluteus medius and minimus externally rotate the thigh. With the hip extended, the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus internally rotate the thigh.[1]
