I did and can’t hear it. Apparently it’s like a conversation and a highway.

Yeah, necessities should always be cheaper for individuals than for businesses. Worst case if the business can’t pay for it: it shuts down. Worst case if an individual can’t pay for a need: the individual straight up dies.

There’s a lot of things I think should be the case that are more likely to happen though

You can also make it with gin and add basil, thyme, or mint.

Actually, I highly recommend a weak gin and basil agua fresca (melon cubes blended smooth with water, lime juice, and sugar to taste) or a lot of water and a weak margarita on really hot days.

Ah, that’s a fair guess from the context. I enjoy sexual humiliation from a known partner within a safe, sane, and consensual framework, but I don’t like just anything embarrassing.

Like, I’d prefer it to blackmail, but I have higher social anxiety levels than most people do and don’t seek to be a clown or center of attention at all. I think I would probably cry and leave if asked to do something like that in public.

The way I engage with it, it’s 100% normal humans treated like cows as a form of humiliation. They might be dressed somewhat reminiscently of them, but it’s not nearly as elaborate as furries. It could be as simple as wearing a cowbell, and doesn’t get to full coverage like with a fursuit. It’s also exclusively sexual for me, so it doesn’t feel very similar to furries from my non-furry perspective.

It’s not rape, but I definitely engage with cnc related to it. I can’t explain why I’d like to be treated like livestock, but I do.

Could people really? I have bizarre kinks and I would just swallow the embarrassment of explaining to everyone I know that hucows are not the same as furries and also not bestiality.

It would suck, but it’s such a better option than being blackmailed into who knows what by monsters.

… Leaving her two children alone in a country she’s not from. Obviously, it’s something people do all the time

Just such relief, for a moment.

… Although I would not actually be surprised if a significant portion of the American population most supportive of Israel are really motivated by a desire to have a place for Jews to live so that they don’t live in the USA

I’d probably just want to keep believing that vs HSM, lol.

Different strokes for different folks

Edit: plus, bad posts can have valuable comments. They frequently do, if the post is bad because of an error in logic or ethics that can be thoroughly explained/corrected for the poster and any lurkers who identified with the post.

If anyone disagrees, I’d love to hear your reasoning, because this is now stuck in my brain.

I don’t want to become stupider, but if I had the choice between finding out today that my IQ is and always has been 70 and that it is and always has been 170, I’d be much less disappointed in myself with the former. Obviously, if I could then learn how to harness it, that would be different, but it’s not like I haven’t been trying my whole life to do well and use my talents.

Nah, that would be great news. Being dumber than anyone you’ve ever met makes you less responsible for things like climate change and political violence than the people around you (morally, at least; you’re probably literally more of a cause, because you’re more likely to be right wing, but if you’ve already jumped that hurdle, maybe you aren’t). Plus, if your own life is a wreck, it feels better to blame an inherent limitation than something you could change, if only you had the discipline. If your own life is great, you’ve overcome a serious obstacle and should be proud of yourself.

I just really wish autism wasn’t five different disorders under a trenchcoat. I find this message a little syrupy (and, as the other commenter mentioned, bizarrely difficult to read), but not wholly inaccurate for my experience. It feels pretty thoughtless when applied to people who are significantly impaired by their autism, though.

But yeah, I have been called weird all my life, but never for what I expect (apparently doing things thoroughly is weirder than crippling social anxiety, because people always pick on the former and identify with the latter). I don’t dislike being weird, it’s just a surprise to me what strikes people as such.

Yeah, Israelis are passionate about this genocide, which doesn’t really line up. The US has the faceless bureaucratic evil of 1930s Germany down.

He looks like Alf

I figured that would kill pacemakers, but it might not. it’ll definitely kill electric wheelchairs and insulin fridges though.

heimliches Filmen ist aktuell in Deutschland nicht per se strafbar. Besonders in öffentlichen Räumen sind Betroffene kaum geschützt.

(Roughly in English)

covert filming isn’t currently illegal in Germany per se. Those filmed are rarely protected, especially in public

Filming in public not being illegal, I get, but he’s profiting off of her likeness. Ideally that would be illegal itself, but even if not, could she not sue him for a share? Obviously, putting the burden on victims is not a great remedy, especially because it’s expensive, a huge hassle, and risks the Streisand effect, but I could see a women’s rights organization orchestrating it for her and it might be possible to keep her identity secret.

Again, I don’t think that’s ideal, but it seems better than nothing and wouldn’t preclude criminal charges from going through if the government does figure out how to prosecute this
