A gay person existing doesn’t actually literally harm anyone though. A homphobe shouting slurs at a gay person, excluding them from vital social, economic or whatever activity or beating them up does very concretely harm someone. It’s not that difficult.
The problem with eating meat is not the eating meat. I don’t give a fuck if someone eats meat from an animal that hasn’t suffered, that was free and in its natural habitat. I don’t know if I would myself because after 15 years of not eating meat I don’t think I’d still like it, but it’s not unethical. The problem is the untold amount of widespread suffering and cruelty of beings with emotions and sentience and attachments and capacity for both physical and emotional pain that is industrial livestock farming.
Same. I was wasting way too much time there anyway. The only thing I still use it for is discussions for TV shows.
When I’ve done my last exam I get to grade exams for the rest of my life lol. I love teaching though but grading isn’t the most exciting part
Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is?
Everyone outside of America.
Everyone knows what a football field looks like
You’re either trolling or a living embodiment of the ‘Americans think the USA is the whole world’ meme. Nobody outside of the USA knows how long a football field is.
As a teacher, I would rather die than ever teach a class over zoom or teams ever again.
I’ve been making my own clothes for more than a decade now and I’ve dabbled in knitting and crocheting, but I’ll admit it’s a bit too much for me. I once made a dress where I didn’t have quite enough fabric so the skirt ended up too short and thought, oh, I’ll just a crotchet a nice 15 cm wide decorative border. Problem was it was a circle skirt so the hem was 4m long. Shit took me 15 damn hours lol. I respect people who have the patience for it or just find it fun but that’s not me.
So, I’m not completely ace, but I am 95% and seemingly get more ace every year that goes by. Thing is, there’s a difference between sexual impulse and arousal on one hand and attraction to an actual person on the other. I get horny as hell every single month during my ovulation because my uterus is screaming and begging me to make babies, and that’s usually when my once or twice a month masturbation happens. But the last time I met an actual real life person I was sexually attracted to was 4 years ago.
I can also find the idea of a person sexually arousing, but still won’t find the actual person attractive. I know this from experience, because when I was much younger and didn’t know myself as well I did act on the attraction to the idea of a person only to be sorely disappointed when it actually happened and I felt nothing.
This is only my own experience of course, but I hope this helps a bit in understanding it.
Lmao, my name is 4 syllables and whenever I introduce myself it’s 50/50 whether I get ‘Oh what a pretty name’ or ‘cool, what can we shorten it to?’
Lmao I’ve been an atheist all my life but I do always joke that God hates me in particular because there’s no other explanation for my life
A ton of amphetamines and other stimulant research chemicals and a fuckton of alcohol. I think probably the latter is mostly to blame.
I got it for the first time at the beginning of September. I was so pissed, my 2.5 year streak of avoiding it gone. It was pretty brutal too, the fever and muscle soreness was no joke.
I think it’s just confirmation bias that stems from the meme. I’ve had four cats in my life: an orange tabby tomcat, a black tomcat, a white and orange girl and a grey tabby girl. The orange tabby tomcat was the smartest by a mile out of all of them and the grey tabby girl was the dumbest by a 100 miles. Orange and white girl is the second dumbest and the black tomcat second smartest.
But people aren’t gonna post their average or smart orange cats or their dumb non-orange cats on the internet because it doesn’t fit into a specific meme/sub/community. So now it seems like there’s heavy correlation, but there really isn’t.
You’re like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao
… And that is my partner Sh’dynasty. Spelled S H comma-to-the-top dynasty.
I truly don’t understand how people have friend groups as adults. It was a pain in the ass to get my 6 friends (two separate groups of 3) together for my birthday with a month notice. One of those friends has a big friend group from high school and now that they’re all around 25 they’re starting to find out just how little opportunity there is to get 12 people together who all live in different places now, have partners, jobs, some even kids already.
Aboriginal Australians also had ‘constellations’ that were the dark spots in the sky as opposed to the stars. I didn’t know some Inca did that as well.
That’s just wishful thinking that doesn’t address the problem at all. Even though you might want the 90-9-1 ratio to change, it isn’t. It’s an established pattern for a reason. Even if the person you responded to was gonna post a lot, they might get a few upvotes, maybe a comment or two on their posts. Simply because there aren’t enough people here to engage with niche topics. And then it feels like your effort is futile (which honestly it is if your goal is an active community), they get discouraged and stop posting and we’re back to square one with no meaningful changes. Sometimes it is about numbers and this is one such case.
