Just only bring it up when you’re talking about sex already, and treat people like people, and it’s fine I think. Worship and voyeurism aren’t that weird in the fetish landscape. It’s when you treat people like they aren’t entirely human outside consensual sex stuff that it’s a problem.
The North Atlantic right whale was recorded near Slieve League in 2024 – the first confirmed recording of the species in Irish waters.
I think this question is based on a falsehood, which makes it difficult to answer.
I would not be shocked if there were more bi people than het or gay (or ace), and that we’d find that out in a world without homophobia, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near (almost) all. My suspicion is that there are more heterosexuals than bi people, but I can see finding out otherwise. I really really doubt other sexualities almost don’t exist because there’s a chance bi people exist in higher numbers than we used to know.
It comes across sometimes like women aren’t allowed to say we know ourselves, especially if it means we aren’t immediately complying with whatever other people want from us.
I don’t like, as a bisexual, when people try to use bisexuality as a way to define lesbians out of existence. You get to say who you are.
I’m worried they’re going to provoke someone into shooting up a daycare
There are notable exceptions to the ban, however, for high-performance membranes used in filtration or separation processes, and textiles deemed “necessary for essential use” or national sovereignty.

The first draft law also included a ban on non-stick saucepans, but this has been removed following reports of “intense lobbying” from French manufacturer Tefal.
I’m not really into how smooth it is, but I kind of like how it looks like a star trek space ship in the side view.
I love him. Maybe buttons for eyes? It looks a bit like a Margaret Keane painting right now.
2012 sounds right for that, actually. There definitely was one, but I couldn’t have guessed the year. There was just a time when I made a bunch of cupcakes because I kept seeing fun recipes online.
You can probably start with careful exposure therapy. I’m not sure how to do that with germ phobia. I dealt with a fear of spiders by reading about them and looking at pictures until I stopped feeling disgust/anxiety. I then just kind of noted and moved on when I saw one in real life. These days I see a spider and can even move it if it’s in a bad spot without feeling anxious.
Not knowing your triggers, I can’t say if that path would help or make it worse.

For my social anxiety, I started out getting books from the library about that specific phobia. It took a lot of time to get from there to telling my doctor I was anxious all the time, to medication, and then therapy. I doubt I’ll ever be free of it, but I can do a lot of things now I once couldn’t (small talk with customers? wow!)
It kind of has to be guided by you and the specifics of your phobia, unfortunately. Like, would looking at a picture of a dirty surface for five minutes a day make you anxious? Just a little, or a lot? If a little, try it. If a lot, scale it back further. Hopefully someone with a similar phobia comes around with more relevant advice. Good luck?
I get it but I also like that it’s there as a reminder how up there he is. But I’ve assumed for a while I’ll find out about his death because I’ll reload tumblr and be confronted with a wall of crab rave gifs.
When speaking to the police, they said they reached out to the FBI to see if the Bureau could help the dept. in clearing some of the redactions in the filings for them, so they could search records for specific names, but the Bureau was unable to do so.
the door and doorframe swelling from humidity is literally like certain body parts swelling from additional liquids, so you could tell them your door frame is in heat.
I don’t know if they’ll appreciate it, but they need to know!
every cycle of charge and discharge causes batteries to expand and contract, similar to human breathing. This action causes battery components to warp just a tiny amount, putting strain on the battery and weakening it over time.
I like when scientists have fun with describing things.
When my door sticks on humid days I should say it’s because my doorframe is breathing.
Judge Shizuka Asakura said Mori hid the body in a closet and later moved it to a freezer after it decomposed, adding that the daughter had behavioural problems and had committed acts of domestic violence.
Are we supposed to get from this that it was an act of self defense when she was killed?

I wish we could offer the victims lifelong protection from retribution if they agree to name names. They deserve to live full, healthy lives and the people who hurt them need to face justice. As it is…

When they’ve tried to do anything, nothing comes of it and their lives get worse.
“Most of the individuals, the victims, are very scared to say these names because they could get sued. They’re going to get attacked, and nobody protected them the first time and that was against one person,” Edwards said.
Henderson added, “I think if someone’s interested in prosecuting, they may have something different to say about sharing a list, but they’re not sharing a list for nothing to happen. And that’s the experience that they’ve had for all of these years.”
All their lives, they get treated like a sacrifice for other people to get what they want. They get raped to fulfill the fantasies of the powerful. They get threatened if they ever say anything. Now, the well intentioned keep pushing them to come out with names for the greater good. Are there negotiations behind the scenes to make sure the people who victimized them don’t use their considerable power and lack of interest in abiding to the law (by definition, if someone raped a child, they don’t care about exclusively following the law) to further harm them? And everyone they care about?
I remember when we found a chihuahua’s christmas sweater at a garage sale, and that our cat didn’t mind wearing it. What a patient boy, he was.
I like when they’re mostly under something but their tail’s flicking around so you know they’re having a silly time.
