  Ok, got it, wombats are not bats. But are bats wombats? Pretty unclear on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's true...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! Most definitely not a scientist!:))) Thank you so much for the details, this has brought me to the point where I’m starting to understand what I don’t know about research in general!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's true...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, hadn’t thought about it that way! And, fair point, different types of interest in science.

  Also think the “for science” specifier set it so that the entire thing would be research oriented:)) Were it for donation of organs, yeah… not much use for a nuked lover=)))

  Mum used to tell me stories about how dad and a mate of his would prank a third dude while practicing on bodies by casually having lunch over an open chest cavity, with the full salad on display. Frequently made the third guy lose his.

  So far, the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, so… yeah:))) Most likely=))))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's true...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… I’m not a scientist, but wouldn’t that be a good thing? A scientifically uninteresting apecimen, to me, means no abnormalities, no weird diseases, bog-standard “nothing interesting, they just died.”

  Who are you and why are you in my house?😐

  Oh, that makes a lotta sense! Sorry to hear about your familial context, though:(

  Had a rough upbringing as well, anxiety and I are old friends by this point, but I developed the opposite - I pushed toward resilience, toward holding it in for as long as possible, precisely because I understood I couldn’t count on anyone around me.

  Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with muscle tension, maybe?:-? Your mentioning of relaxation clicked, maybe when we lay on our backs, our bladders/various sphincters relax and release?:-?

  I, for one, can say for certain I am tensed up for pretty much the duration of my episodes of consciousness…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't forget to turn purple and remove your arms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every single time, yes! Every single damned time when I lay on my back, I have to get up and pee within 5 minutes tops… No small bladder, no UT issues, nothin’…

  I got very lucky and found the perfect mattress for this, it has a softer exterior layer (about 5-6cm of cheapo smartphoam) and something tougher at its core, perfect balance between smushy enough to accommodate an elbow, firm enough to keep things tidy. No-name mattress from an Ikea knock-off, it was a steal.

  Struggling with pillows, though… Still haven’t managed to find something which works for me… Plenty of blankets to wrangle with my legs, so there’s that, at least.

  Me every time I go out in public.

  Apep… I mean… I get why they’d want to extinguish the sun, I can’t imagine they had a good time in grade school with a name like “Apep…”

  So, lemme get this steaight: first they ache like bastards, and now they also induce anxiety. I say we boycott bones.

  Which would explain why most of the face-to-face sightings happened during the night! Can you imagine trying to be taken seriously while looking like that?

  The one on the right looks like the one on the left if it went through 15 years of QA in start-ups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Read lit" Me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That honestly sounds like a fun time! Would probably mean I’d become completely desensitised from it in a sexy way, but I do love me some playful sarcasm!

  Glad you’ve managed to find someone with a compatible dynamic in these aspects, it’s lovely having a partner with whom you can laugh at the Absurd!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Read lit" Me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For the right person, I’d splurge on the dental work!=))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Read lit" Me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s all just… sexy goofy sarcasm? Oh, crap. I’ve been doing that for a llllooooong, long time without realising it might be interpreted as flirting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Read lit" Me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, tbf, this’d work on me as well should a flame of the womanly persuasion present it to me (alongside explicit stipulations that “I do, indeed, want you for the sex, Mr. Bond,” signed in triplicate)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Read lit" Me:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Hey, there hunka’-hunka’, wanna go somewhere more private so I can show you my Ancient Greeks?😏😏”

  Full disclaimer, I’m a barely-social straight guy, I wouldn’t know flirting if it cracked my teeth with a piece of wood.

  Incidentally, best way to deal with Epicureans! Smile awkwardly and exeunt whenever possible!

  Hey, sorry for the late reply, Life™ happened and I kept missing the notification.

  Personally, through trial and error, I’ve come to the conclusion that do, indeed, need those aspects in a relationship, but the degrees in which they’re present aren’t as relevant! Gonna go into TMI, probably, but as a concrete example, I won’t say “no” of someone isn’t actively into the Grotesque, but they liked something of Giger’s, or Beksiński’s when I showed them! There’s at least the potential for exploration there, which is a lot of fun in and of itself!

  Otherwise, I think that each and every individual has their own very specific set of needs and acceptable compromises, which is why I think we’re both correct! In that, literally, any which way someone goes about something is ok, as long as their potential interest gets full respect, honesty and openness at the end of the day. And even regardless of result, but that’s besides the point.

  As far as being open to friendship while pursuing romantic relationships, that doesn’t work for me personally, because I look for very different things when looking for partners compared to when I’m allowing friendships to happen - different dynamics, different investments, different intentions, and generally looking for people who, like me, are actively seeking romantic stuff, means it usually makes friendships mutually untenable afterwards. If there’s the possibility and a friendship develops naturally and without uncomfortable difficulties, of course I won’t say “no” to it, though!
