Jung’s work is too derivative. If you want to be taken seriously, coach it in terms of Freud’s theories.

a stainless steel, vacuum sealed French press (coffee plunger), which I bought back in… 2011? i think? when I broke my glass one a week after getting it.

I definitely have BO, but I can’t smell my own, typically. however, I also just don’t find the smell of sweat/BO particularly offensive.

I’ve started using not an antiperspirant, but a substance that acts like a deodorant, because my partner is VERY sensitive to smells and mine apparently sets her off pretty badly.

my partner felt much the same way you do - she had never had a boyfriend before we got together, when she was 28.

we met through a dating site - OKCupid - don’t know if that makes a difference to you.

I’m no fan of hamas, but what Israel is doing is just insane.

not everyone in fucking gaza is a fucking terrorist.

I’m from NZ. I was very surprised to learn that our gun laws were quite lax up until the relatively recent mosque shooting in Christchurch - the assault-style weapon the shooter used was quite legal, including the special modifications he had made to make it better for killing people.

in the wake of that tragedy, things have gotten a lot stricter, though I’m afraid I can’t provide specifics - while I love guns, my collections are confined to the virtual, and I really have no interest in owning one IRL.

op hasn’t provided any pictures, they might just be being matter of fact, eschewing false modesty?

“i love my pet so much, I want them to be with me forever, bereft of everything I loved about them”

I’ve never understood taxidermy. I keep some pictures of one of my dead cats in the wall/as a wallpaper on my phone, and it still is sometimes upsetting to see him and remember that he’s gone.

and it’s still loaded

I don’t know about what they’ve done, but some of the lyrics in songs by The Offspring are pretty questionable.

“I wish I could fix you… and make you how I want you”
or there’s an entire song called “she’s got issues” - which is a fucking jam - where the singer is complaining about how his abused girlfriend thinks SHE’S the victim when HE’S the one who has to put up with her.

not the greatest look.

you don’t want to start. trust me on this.

well, I mean, it’s no skin off my neck either way. I have no problem with being he/him, but I certainly wouldn’t be offended be xe/xem (or for that matter she/her 😅 which was a mistake at least one person made during the mask mandate, when my beard wasn’t so visible)

I’d just like to do what I can to make life easier for those who are faced with more everyday difficulties than I am, especially when it costs me so little.

I’m not the op, but like them im a cishet male. is it useful (to the movement, to non cishet, to LGBTQ+ people in general) to adopt pronouns other than what would be expected, perhaps to normalise them in much the same way that “partner” has been?

or would that generally be regarded as, well, something akin to cultural appropriation? or as malicious adoption, like “i identify as an attack helicopter”?

I lost my cat recently, the first one that was truly mine. he was only about 2.5 years old, but when me and my partner moved into the city together, he went missing shortly after we started allowing him outside access (he was born feral and always loved the outdoors).

a few weeks later he was hit by a car some kilometres from our house, and a couple of weeks after that, his microchip was scanned and tracked back to us.

I sobbed for about half an hour when I first got some time alone after finding out. I still tear up thinking about him at odd times. I’ve never loved any animal quite as much, and I wonder if I ever will again. thinking about coming home to him was all that got me through many days of work. sometimes thinking about him just makes me feel like I don’t want to be alive anymore, despite my partner and the two lovely kittens we still have.

rising CEO pay, rising food prices…

hey, that gives me a idea 🤔

this is the price you pay for living in a society.

satan? when did you join the fediverse?

is it, though?

is it really just like a sex toy? 🤨

do you have anything you might perhaps like to share with the class?

at that point, why not just be polyamorous 😅
