Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:

Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.

I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”

I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

  • It’s a German company, so the first word is probably Deutsch(land) - the rest I have no idea.

    NOPE. Wikipedia article starts with:

    DHL (originally named after founders Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn) is a multinational logistics company, founded in the United States and headquartered in Bonn, Germany.

    On a side note, back in the early 2000s, DHL managed to lose an entire 70 pound large screen CRT computer monitor being shipped to me. It made it all the way to their local distribution center, and then just… disappeared. To this day I’m convinced an employee stole it. The company I ordered from had to ship a second one out.












  • You can read about the deaths in the Wikipedia article on the topic. Just because there are other mishaps during sex that also lead to injuries and/or death, that doesn’t invalidate concerns over this method as it even more directly can be shown to be problematic than accidents occurring due to other causes. Never mind the other possible life-altering outcomes such as brain damage.

    We all know that the success rate of parents telling their teens anything can be wildly unpredictable. Often, it can even be a motivator to try to do the exact opposite of what their parents recommend. As such, that’s not really a reliable method of addressing the issue.


  • I’ve NEVER “looked it up,” but it seems to be an almost mandatory part of most videos produced anymore - along with the usual several positions that must be assumed, and ending virtually every video in a facial. They all look the same.

    Well okay, did the last time I bothered looking for porn videos regularly. It’s been quite a while since I just couldn’t seem to avoid shit like that. Text stories are my porn anymore.

    I don’t GAF what you & your partner prefer to do in your private time. Conflating that with porn is both disingenuous, and possibly telling of how highly you think of yourself.


  • What an ass. It’s sad how you get your jollies being a sanctimonious troll (read my profile before you comment about my username) - all the while knowing how it’ll be received, but just can’t resist doing this because you’re positively addicted to the extremely brief dopamine hit from telling yourself that you’re so morally superior to all those dumping on your shitty takes. You’re so transparent when you refuse to even try backing up your statements (not that you likely actually could with any real validity).

    Good luck to you, as I’m done feeding your pathetic addiction. Consider yourself blocked.
