sewing is mine also. I don’t think I’ve talked to a single person in the 15 years I’ve been sewing that hasn’t reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.

i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.

cannibal: the musical

a bunch of forums that talk to each other.

a decentralized collection of independently operated social media platforms that can choose to share information with each other.

I kind of want to hear your story that made you ask this question

putting on deodorant

feels gross smells gross

in case you don’t know, there is the option under user settings to hide bots.

my 2 cents:

none of what you’ve written here indicates you weren’t born gay.

“…wish i was in the woman’s shoes in porn (autogynephilia), that was my first homo sexual desire.”

that doesn’t sound like you were “simply born straight”

your post strongly suggests to me you have a lot to learn and accept about sexuality.

“always had a totally masculine identity, male engagements”

saying something like this indicates to me that you don’t understand the complexities of masculinity, femininity or sexuality.

did you read a lot of books as a child? is that masculine or feminine? did you climb trees?

assigning labels and expectations to your behaviors may be why you don’t view your own sexuality as “a case of normal, stable homosexuality”.

which is what it sounds like you are discovering: a case of innate normal, stable homosexuality.

I was in the same boat and read a lot of different books and watched videos on how to draw, and the number one thing that helped me was the frequency with which I drew.

techniques made a difference certainly, but the amount that I drew was the primary factor in how satisfied I became with my art.

if I can share purely anecdotal evidence, something that seems to help me was not drawing the next line until I could see the next line in my head, and project that mental next line onto the paper that I was drawing.

I didn’t read that or watch that anywhere, I just thought that if I could picture what I wanted to draw in my head, I could probably draw it, and until that point I wasnt clearly picturing what I wanted to draw in my head.

your comment is incorrect because:

1. those who do not survive cannot speak up at all

2. it’s far more difficult to live for a cause than to die for it.

if this is about your survival, then survive.

surviving doesn’t mean you care any less; you’re taking care of yourself and hopefully in the future you’ll be in a better position to speak up for those rights like you obviously want to in the future.

whoa, really?

nice! congrats!

yes, herbalists and healers would have access to and knowledge of fast-acting poisons.

there are plenty of plants like nightshade that can rapidly kill a human, and those familiar with plant life would be well aware of that.

hemlock isn’t as fast acting, maybe a few hours before death if you ate it, but that’s how Socrates was executed 2400 years ago, and according to sources it took about half an hour for him to die, so knowledge of fast-acting poisons is very old.

bear in mind that this is a second draft direct refutation of a list of Darth Binks evidence provided by another friendly user and we were having fun talking about it, so i was pretty casual speech to texting all of this and there might be typos.

also, if you have any direct questions or evidence of the darth binks theory, I’m ready to talk about it, it’s a very fun theory.

have a good one

I wrote like a 30,000 word treatise refuting every point of the Darth Jar jar with the help of an advocate.

for fun.

it would be great, but it seems unlikely and extremely lacking in evidence when you look at each point one by one and put everything back together.

murderbot series is fantastic, I love every single entry in the series so far, and they’re not very long or unnecessarily complicated; you can finish one in a day or two easy.

The first entry is called “All systems red”

I joined a company, was given part ownership, could not believe how much money was wasted by the other owners behind the curtain, proposed reforms that were ignored, set up a presentation showing that we could all retire in 4 years on interest if we invested excess profits, nobody was interested. They just wanted to expand.

The other owners were taking minimum to zero salary, saying that their stakes would pay off soon after they expanded.

I insisted on receiving full salary since I was working and again explained that we could all start receiving interest payments right away if we invested this year’s profits. Ignored.

After two years of full salary and basically running the company, warning the other owners I would leave if nothing changed and they kept investing capital into unnecessary expansions for a year, I gave two months notice, the other owners acted surprised, I trained a few people to do my job, cashed out my ownership, left the company, cut ties, haven’t looked back in years .

Just found out a couple weeks ago that the company collapsed almost immediately after I left.

Big ol’ grin on my face all that day.
