I’d say it’s a thing. Different bodies, different habits, different rhythms.

No, they visit here as well. But they’re chill about not being welcome. If you wave them off just right, then they go and ruin someone else’s day.

*Terms and conditions apply.

To be fair, they’re the annoyed ones. Yellow jackets usually don’t care about you as long as you don’t get near them or their nest.
Maintain social distance and you’ll be fine.

Unless you’re a honey bee, in which case it’s go time.

There’s bad blood there, but the original DA team should be completely gone with the last members having been sacked during Veilguard debacle.

Maybe EA would like to shit on it one more time with a crappy remaster, who knows.

Uh, yeah you do. What do you think charities are for? Helping people?

Sadly, posturing is often a great motivator for poorly thought-out decisions.

Pushing through with a wrong decision regardless of the end result would be a matter of losing self worth, I think. Apologizing is often felt as a position of weakness that opens up a vulnerability in a pretty much shoddy armour of fragile self worth and losing even that much might trigger an existential crisis that threatens the core of one’s identity.

Another part might be us not being wired to naturally consider long-term effects, as it’s usually a taught trait. So much of our emotional presence is rooted in the moment rather than several steps ahead. And a psychological danger is often resolved with an immediate and superficial response.

To become and remain what is considered as well adjusted is a difficult process that needs repeated efforts of introspection. And not many can or are willing to go through the process. So being respectful of one another is something to be admired because it’s not something we can do by default. I’d say instinctual and often disrespectful responses are our usual default state instead.

When we talk about things, we use our accumulated knowledge to create a context. However because that knowledge isn’t the same for everyone, the understandable context can be similar, but different.

So for example, a person who doesn’t know about college trans athletes, but knows about trans won’t understand the same context as someone who knows the subject in depth or as someone who knows little about the concept itself. But if they all recognize the 1% as the rich elite, then they can all vaguely share that partial context.

It might be an exaggeration in my case because yeah, still I would say that people in general should avoid expectations for everyone participating in this kind of conversation to share the same understanding of the context at hand.

Common sense isn’t universal. Perception is unequal. Divergence in way of thought is to be expected.

But yeah, I support both opinions you’ve extracted independently from each other.

Oh i know the thought process is off center for the comment, but I found it funny (for me anyway) and posted the result because, why not.

Saw the picture, thought of “hey, my eyes are up here”, then of the Simpsons “i made my choice” meme. The writing said “1%”, but a lot of men have only one singular thought when staring at a woman’s chest. So taking the whole “you’re focused on the wrong 1%” as referring to breasts as a body part and only a small part of the individual, the meaning can become “stop staring at my tits and see me as a person”. But then I thought, different sizes, different percentages. Looking at the picture again, assigning just 1% to it would probably mean a small size, tiny even, and i felt upset on their behalf in this short imaginary journey. Hence the comment.

Now, was that the thought process you were imagining when you made your comment or something else entirely?

Everyone should be fucking weird. Isn’t that kind of the point?

Why discriminate? Tiny titties deserve being stared at too!

Oh look! A wild Doctor Who reference. Don’t blink!

Stop it Patrick, you’re scaring them!

It’s the other way around chief, radicalized young men seek out extreme porn because they ain’t getting any of that vanilla loving.
And the way to getting that is properly educating them on consent and treating their partner with the equal love and respect they yearn for.

In the wide world of indies, no name is too weird to use.

I did think of Voltaire the person, but I wasn’t aware of the Crusader Kings connection.

The vegan vampire? I can still see and buy it.

Anything that praises the holy Roman empire gets an automatic pass.

Depends. The Polish government has its share of religious nuts. If they get courted on this, Gog may end up forced to comply.

Not rich enough considering the last Indiana Jones movie.

Why prehistoric? It’s in our near future.
