  Welcome to Star Trek! We cry here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do if you encounter a skunk?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Skunks are common city animals, so it’s a little more surprising to me that you haven’t encountered then before. But for thr most part they’re pretty chill little guys, and forage widely – so seeing one in your yard doesn’t mean they’ve taken up residence. They eat grubs mostly (which is great for lawns and gardens).

  As others have said, as long as you’re not getting up in their faces, you shouldn’t have any problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if the length is the same, men’s shoes tend to be wider than women’s (sometimes much wider). So swapping is great if you’re a woman with wide feet, but if you’re a man with wide or even average feet, it would be much harder to swap to a woman’s shoe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do news articles and such call the governments of countries/groups of countries after the capital?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The US has a huge number of cities named after cities/regions in other parts of the world, e.g.:

  • Moscow, Idaho
  • Ottawa, Illinois
  • Brussels, Wisconsin
  • Ontario, California
  • Paris, Texas
  • etc!

  Adding the country or state designation after one of these names is helpful for clarity.

  OP seems to be in Europe, so I’m not sure how much of your second point applies.

  Aw dude, no, flip it around: I can’t imagine having a sexual relationship with someone I’m not romantically entwined with. Real intimacy is about so much more than sex – sex is part of it, but it’s also about trust and openness and what you’ve lived through together… It’s a whole package and you’re focusing on one small aspect & not even looking at the rest.

  I’ve been married 13 years. We’re aging. I birthed three kids and my stomach looks bizarre now. We’ve got grey hair, we’ve both had a variety of body shapes and sizes over the years… our love has only grown and the sex has never been better. Don’t take your friend’s anecdote as something that happens to everyone. It doesn’t. (You should talk to someone who works in a senior’s home sometime; people your grandparents’ age are still sexually active despite being pretty far from the bloom of youth!)

  I agree with a lot of the other commenters that people in their 20s are nice to look and and can be fun to talk to but also seem like children to me at this point. I couldn’t even imagine pursuing someone so much younger than me; mentally and in terms of experience we’re way too far apart.

  Ps. Don’t look at who you’re most physically attracted to & assume everyone feels the same way. I’ve always thought that men hit their peak around age 55.
