A company doesn't care what you write. They'd need a government order to touch you. No opinion. A contract and nothing. Some small platform, one guy running it, can delete you the moment you annoy him. No order needed. No court. Just his...
One of my least favorite things about myself is that I’m a “fainter.” Specifically, I tend to pass out when I have to get my blood drawn (or an IV placed). Getting a shot isn’t nearly as bad, though I still always look away. I hate the...
Regular readers will know that I am a sucker for kinky DIY. I once built my own spanking bench, and a (very shoddy) clamp/holder for a Fleshlight launch so I could fulfil my dreams of milking a man while he was restrained. I’ve also been...

By Bryan Sheffield, Wonderful Machine Each month, we analyze a recent cost estimate, contract, or purchase order and present it in the form of a Pricing & Negotiating article. Redacting the names of the photographer and client allows us...
CFCF featuring Touching Ice & TECHG1RLS “Let’s Kill Ourselves” Don’t let the title freak you out. This is a song about using “I’m gonna kill myself” in a hyperbolic or sarcastic way, and poking at that turn of phrase a bit. Is it funny,...
