That’s not necessarily a false sense of privacy if it works. There’s an inconvenient barrier to searching vote history and if you do it in the current system you’d be recognized as petty at least. Easing access is not going to make Lemmy better.

As a teen I had little to no interest in penetration. Tampons didn’t feel good, so why would I assume something else would? I wasn’t really interested in penetration until I was interested in my partner specifically.

Once I (eventually) figured out pleasurable masturbation, I still stuck with external stuff mostly, and fingers in general. Eventually I got a job and a debit card and could privately online shop, but my little bag of toys continues to go mostly unused. Nothing beats my fingers.

I don’t know about other women, but for me masturbation is and always has been much more about what’s going on in my head, and then adding the pleasurable sensations to that, rather than experimenting with different sensations.

For a beginner I literally cannot imagine a cucumber. How many dicks are as thick as a grocery store cucumber? None I’ve seen in real life. Maybe in porn, but I can’t think of any. It would just hurt. Beginners would need something maybe the size of 2 female fingers. (Maybe a farmers market cucumber that’s skinnier?)

Oh my God I legitimately until your comment was like why the hell would they censor fascist? And why would she call gay people fascist anyway??

I literally forgot the word existed.

This IS the tl;dr of the article first off, and second, just read the top “paragraph” (in quotes because it’s only like 2 sentences). It’s basically the tldr of the tldr

Once my phone breaks, I spend $150-250 on a “new” old pixel. a couple gens behind, but honestly when I get the next one, it’s always basically the same, so I don’t know why I’d buy new. My current 4S’s battery is pretty shot, so it’s about time to upgrade again, but I’ll be sad to lose the tinier size and headphones jack. I never use the jack, but I like that it’s there as a backup.

It’s almost like our collective experience is so boring and gloomy and so stressful for our little bodies and brains that we as a species are prone to mercurial outbursts where we act recklessly as a way to prove our existence to ourselves

They’re safe relative to other explosives like bombs.

I think a big part of it is that they’re dangerous. It’s fun to experience just a tinge of fear from how big they sound, or even just from being near the little street versions. It’s a (relatively) safe way for us to experience something that would otherwise be terror inducing explosives.

Hey, we look to the comments to see if someone else read it and summarized it first before commenting!

my husband and I both have ADHD. typically, we fight, I’m over it pretty quickly, he needs until he can sleep to get over it, but I think this is because we usually fight “My way.” I need us to talk it out and dissect what’s actually the root of the issue (usually past hurt, ongoing pattern, or misunderstanding at the onset of the fight). Once the issue is dissected and we commit to a resolution, or even just commit to acknowledging the issue and working on it, I feel loads better. If our flight is interrupted or he gets his way (ignoring the root cause, taking a short break from each other for a walk) then I’m simmering for ages and not that interested in being friendly again whereas he is back to normal.

Are you better at arguing? Do you typically “win” the argument? Or do arguments usually go along your ideas of how a fight should be structured? This may have something to do with it.

I second the above recommendation for the Nonviolent Communication book. It’s a short little read / work book and it can get you both using the same language, as well as kind of force you to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs.

What am I missing about your point?

Looks like income dropped following 2020 and hasn’t returned yet… am I miss reading?

If this were written for Americans it’d have the length of the snake in feet. Bowling lanes is such an absurd length comparison because you’re not allowed to walk on them, so you don’t really know how long they are anyway.

I use the one with my hair color. For things like thumbs up I stick with yellow

I mean there are plenty of reasons. Some seasons it rains everyday here. Get off your high bike.

Do you only work 3 days a week or are you subtracting your hour long fault commutes?

OP spend over one full day a week commuting. Gag worthy

Morally impossible? Geez I guess we should just get ready for more genocide with a side of human rights violations all over our shores too. Sorry, women, black Americans, and immigrants, Democrats would rather make a show of their morals than pick the much much much lesser of two evils. Big picture doesn’t matter here.

If we had to pick a candidate who aligns with all our morals, no one would ever vote. Vote for Biden, and then to make a difference fight on your local level(city) for ranked choice voting! Once you win that fight, try to get it enacted in your county. Do not waste your vote on Trump over this. That’s what staying home or voting independent will do, and once Trump wins, you’ll regret it. (Trust me, I fucked up and voted independent in 2016 for my “morals” Never again.)

Some dogs get older and I assume confused and just snap. My grandmother’s dog, sweetest girl, golden retriever, service dog, previously good with other animals and cats. My Grandmom brought home a kitten and the dog mauled it. Do not trust dogs. Just like people they can do something totally out of character.

I don’t think it’s a problem that it’s 2 bars in each package, but it should say 5 packages rather than 10 bars. The company knows what they’re doing.

Our lists are very similar! I also enjoy “stuff the British stole” and “cautionary tales with Jim Hartford”

Yes! I got pregnant and the online advice for me was a million pages long of avoid this, do that, research everything, do 20 hours a day worth of stuff, but get enough sleep! Don’t stress or it will hurt the baby!

The online advice for him literally introduced empathy as if it were a concept he had never heard of before. The bar is below the floor. We just had him research as if he was going to be a mom.
