what else would it be?

wish I actually used Spotify, so I could boycott

and the original(s - they do two distinctly different versions) are both amazing, arguably better than this cover.

look up EDNASWAP - Torn for the original versions

I don’t strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

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.

they only did that for the painting.

pay some prostitutes to come to your thanksgiving dinner and debate your uncle on his ideas about immigrants.

the hosting is free, you just pay a subscription to ensure it stays that way.

don’t forget to make your first wish “if i, as i am now or as i become subsequent to their fulfilment, am unsatisfied with the outcome of any of my wishes, i wish to return to the moment i first was granted them, retaining full knowledge of the timeline as i caused it to be but with the ability to make diffent choices”

since we’re supposed to not be dealing with a monkey paw/genie situation, i didn’t use it this way, but in general I’d recommend making it your first wish under any such circumstances.

rephrase as necessary to further weed out possible loopholes.

a private reality which obeys whatever rules i want it to.

the ability to interface this reality with any others, as well as disconnect it, at will.

the right to abortion is just a subset of bodily autonomy: noone should be able to make decisions or take actions upon your body except you/with your consent.

you can survive with half a liver, and livers regenerate. you can also donate significant amounts of your blood, and even more plasma, without ill effect. these things are lifesaving, but despite that, you cannot be forced to do so against your will.

abortion is no different. just because it can’t survive without you doesn’t mean it gets priority over your own bodily autonomy.

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.

Obama was all into war crimes in the middle east too, so I can’t pretend I’m surprised.

hmmmmmm

but expecting people - not just many people, but a lot, an enormous number, at least a majority if not an overwhelming majorly - to spontaneous commit to a coordinated action despite widely differing philosophies, politics and life circumstances, is like expecting dissolved sugar to spontaneously re-crystallise back into a cube at the bottom of your cup.

plausible paths to change require organisation, and there are not very many examples of successful organisation that aren’t led from the top.

better yet, just don’t autoplay fucking videos! if I want to watch it, I’ll click on it!

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.

apropos of nothing, have you ever tried to actually get your jaws around someone else’s head? you can’t really open your mouth enough to do more than scrape the skin - biting someone’s skull open would probably not be possible.

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.
