A friend's mom once told me I had beautiful eyes, and I have thought about it ever since. That was 20 years ago. I think it's the only complimentary I've ever had on my physical appearance outside of immediate family. Compliments can feel super awkward to get sometimes, but they really are treasures.

If humans had tails would women get told they should wag their tails more?

dharmacurious , 22 days ago

Oh you're totally right. Dudes walking around with a hairless opossum tail and woman have to wrap that shit around their leg and sit on it all day long...

Best fucking toy out there. Me and my friends used to throw pennies into the sand and bury them, and the kid on the machine would dig them up.

Jumping in to hopefully clarify something. The anarchist definition of the state is different than the Marxist definition of the state.

The anarchist definition of socialism is also different than the Marxist definition of socialism. Generally speaking, to anarchists, socialism and communism are synonyms, and there really isn't the lower/higher phase distinction.

State capitalism is a term used to describe the economic systems of places like the USSR. The state steps in and becomes the capitalist, in essence. The worker is in a similar position of not really owning the means of production, in the same way that the public doesn't really national parks in the US. In paper, in theory, and perhaps in spirit, the workers in a socialist state own the means of production, but in reality it is owned by the [the party/the state/an elite group of people]. There is still a similar incentive towards growth, there is still a group of people profiting off the backs of those who do the actual work of creating the items needed for survival, and there still a disconnected between those who do the labor of keeping all of us fed and clothed and the use of those things. Workers are not directly in control, and that's the problem, to the anarchist view.

Effectively, the anarchist is view that we can and should move directly from our current system to a stateless (by the anarchist definition of the state), classless, moneyless system, without an intermediary state in between.

I jumped in to define some terms it looked like there might be confusion on (though it looks like I might have been wrong?), I'm not here to defend any positions. Haha. I have my views, but I find very little benefit to arguing them online, especially when my views are already niche within leftist spaces.

All that said, super psyched to read that correspondence!

To add on to the other explanations, and explain what, for some reason, no one seems willing to admit, torturing koroks is the number one game activity. The atrocities committed to these poor little golden-poop delivering seedlings is, frankly, appalling, and also great fun. YouTube korok torture for hours of mind-boggling horrors that really make you wonder if the human race is worth saving.

You who are so wise in the ways of science, can you explain to me if this is safe/will be super dangerous if exposed to water? Doesn't sodium, like, blow the fuck up when it comes in contact with water?

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I was asking because I wondered how viable this would be in boats/ships, outdoor areas, off grid cabins, et cetera. Seems like it's basically the same thing, then, right? Like, proper battery maintenance and you're good?

I almost converted to Judaism in my late teens, and the Rabbi I was working with shared with me a prayer he often prayed in times of struggle. "God grant me the faith of the convert, the strength of a bear, the wisdom of the aged, and the patience of a mother"

I always liked that

dharmacurious , 2 months ago

Depending on who you ask "wisdom of the convert" could be pretty great.

... Or horrible. Again, depends who you ask. Lol

dharmacurious , 2 months ago

No, there's not. I Zoomed in and scrolled it one letter at a time. It's the right number of pickets for minimum. It's just a horrible, horrible mind fuck. Lol

I routinely hook up with a bi dude... He might appreciate this.

The placement of the comma after evil and before showering suggests that "evil" is it's own chore, and also that showering is, by it's very nature, evil and does not need additional evilness to count as an evil chore.

My God I love Lemmy. Finding a Kropotkin quote in the wild? Outside of an anarchists sub? Without specifically searching for it?

It makes me feel less alone. Thank you.

Don't scare me like that! I got deadlines and shit!

That was how my mom taught us. I didn't win a board game, card game, video game, word game, or car game until I damn well earned it. First time I beat her at chess the look of complete shock and bafflement on her face was priceless.

I came here to say basically that. But also, speaking as a professionally employed homosexual, that ankle-cross lean is gay as fuck.

dharmacurious , 2 months ago

I am, in fact, employed in my capacity as a homosexual. I'm an academic homosexual, though. Ivory tower type, publishing gay papers in queer journals, teaching the youth all about proper deep throating techniques in class.

I'm afraid the hidden penis technique was officially banned in the 90s after that spate of popcorn bucket fiascos. It was abused.
