Antifascist Canadian, book-enjoyer, tattoo-haver.
Yes, that's exactly what it is. His worldbuilding document. He used it as a pitch, it didn't work, so he used it as the basis for LOTR.

What's sad is how much mental energy you dedicate to being mad at little obstructive dots and bars on fuckin memes, bud.
Hey, you and me both re: late diagnosis Excellent streak, keep it up!

The "it" is probably referring to the anxiety that's causing all the other stuff.
I don't interpret either situation as a power play. One is somebody who, at least on the surface, is acting in consideration of the neighborhood at large. The other is a selfish prick who thinks they're the MC. I can see where you jump to power from there, but that implies an inherent power dynamic like, say, they're on the condo board and I'm not.To your theoretical: acquiesce, as it's clear cooking odours in general are the main offense, and likely are impacting more than one unit.
Big difference between "please close your windows when cooking" vs "when cooking meat."When cooking: a request based on the public impact of ALL cooking odours.When cooking meat: a request based specifically to cater to one individual's dietary choices by adjusting your own private space.I would comply to the first (weather permitting, no AC) because it's a request based on consideration of the public. To the second, I would not, because I'm not responsible for their individual lifestyle.
For sure. Doesn't strike me, given his overall political leanings in his songs that it's anything other than him maturing between the two events, but *shrug* who knows. I don't have the energy today to do any concentrated digging into interviews and such, see what shifted.
He wasn't mourning Kirk's death. He was speaking out against ANY violence, and those that celebrated it.“For all of the bile/The bold talk,” he sings. “The venom/The hate and the lies/No one should be killed/No blood should be spilled/Charlie shouldn’t have died/Well you can’t hate the gun and love the gun that shot yer rival/You can’t be kind and wish pain upon a child.”

Fuck JK Transphobe.
Good to know, but nobody is going to understand "intraspecific aggression." At least not yet. Predator is a term that's used in societal vernacular, albeit usually conjoined as "sexual predator"And words are transformative. If in the context of SA, predator is a useful substitute for intraspecific aggression, and society adopts it as a term as such, then that's what predator means contextually. I get the whole words have meaning stance, but that meaning is never static.
"I get it, males are the majority predator of our species."They absolutely did not frame it as female distrust being the problem. They very clearly understand that, but can't help feeling hurt by the consequence: that they're presumed to be a threat, as a direct result of male predation.
Yeah, well, they're wrong :)

Well I've seen you around here for a hot minute now and I, for what it's worth from a random Internet stranger, am glad you're still with us. You're good people.
There was a dude last winter who was walking in my neighborhood asking for help late at night. I kinda felt bad, but at the same time he was yelling at the BACK of the houses, not going to knock on front doors, and I don't live in the best neighbourhood.I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess something about the guy felt sincere, and I still didn't go b/c of the aforementioned context. So you're not alone with this experience. An overabundance of caution wins out, a lot of the time.
If I had to guess, it's probably because of the 15 years of a mostly sexless relationship.
That's very valid.
"Hey, neighbour. I come from a long line of hunters dating back to Homo Erectus, over 2.5m years ago. While hunting has certainly changed over the years, I honour my ancestors by continuing this practice, stalking my prey in grocery aisles, carefully observing their best before dates, and capturing my prey with my wallet to proudly show my wife how I excel in food procurement, and subsequent preparation. Hopefully you can understand and respect my continued adherence to their time-honored ways."
Time to make a fresh pot
Yeah but the real big push to get public sentiment behind it started in September. It was comparatively quiet until then, when the Repubs decided to discredit Musk after he blamed autism on his Nazi salute. Of course, also as a distraction from the Epstein files.
No, at least not directly. In September, Trump and RFK announced they would "tackle the autism epidemic."
I think it's declining even more, as news proliferates about the involvement of ChatGPT and other LLMs being tied to murders, suicides, how it will confidently provide the wrong information and correct it when challenged. If I had to guess, I'd say it'll settle around 35%, +/- 5, without any kind of legislative intervention.
You're just not your type.
