  I’d hit that. But my self esteem is so low my kink is showing an interest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I understood pseudo masculinity without the explanation. I haven’t seen any evidence yet that the term has been confused.

  But any term for a gender issue is going to be misconstrued and confused, just look at the term feminism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frying chicken? Taking a leak? It's a mystery. 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes if you sneeze after a solid kegel routine it clamps and goes sideways onto your thigh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But so is toxic masculinity. It’s used to describe men being assholes because they’re men, and not because they just happen to be assholes, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d never heard it before and I understood the implication before they expanded on it. I’m a woman and a feminist who thinks the term toxic masculinity is unsuitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How possibly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Love the term “pseudo-masculinity.” It takes away from the gender slant of toxic masculinity, implies anyone can have it, and makes clear it’s not what masculinity should be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope there's not a queue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say it was a rational fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope there's not a queue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, I support bars making their restrooms gender neutral but I have an irrational fear of making eye contact with a man while he’s using the urinal which makes me extra observant of men at the urinals so I don’t accidentally stare into their eyes. Please just tell me which washroom has the urinals so I can avoid it.

  By being Canadian. Y’all can come live in my basement, my little American basement babies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🍌 GET YER NFTS HERE 🍎⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a plant person but I do make my own dyes and pigments from organics. One of the ingredients I use to precipitate the pigment, or as a mordant, which can change the colour, is aluminum sulphate - also used as plant fertilizer to raise soil acidity.

  The chemicals that produce colour in plants are super sensitive to PH, there’s a plant based paint company, I think in Europe somewhere, that makes everything from green to red to blue out of just red cabbage.

  I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here, but it is indeed super neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re doing important work here, thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big facts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw, but I supported him. Magic is stupid but I like cool rocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's worth a shot.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I found a whole community of mostly dudes and a few chicks with AI waifus on their own platform. They’re all weirdly supportive and wholesome. I can’t even make fun of them, they’re so nice to me and each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big facts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It all makes sense now. The universe balanced my humors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big facts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shout out to my coworker who brought his crystals in to work one day to fix our negative energy. After carefully placing each stone according to universal leylines of good vibes, extraordinarily pleased with himself, immediately saw me slice through a package and into my fingers. I needed eleven stitches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big facts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Batman taught me this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved that. I just assumed that was his IRL gamer tag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t read it. The man can’t end a story to save his life and his prose is pretty basic, but damn foes he have some good lines. He’s got this genuine enthusiasm for everything he’s saying, especially when he wants to bring in a new concept, and that gets me hooked every time. You can tell he loves his characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People have been getting taller over time. Hawking didn’t book a big enough venue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope, not visiting that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you know your boss is an insane moron⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen this. Knew a guy who couldn’t keep a community manager on staff while at the same time making them clock out when they went to the washroom. Literally paid them by the minute and all of those minutes had to be “work.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a tight sandwich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t trust it. No way it’s that thick. It’s like squeezing all the blood toward the head of the dick to make it look bigger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of those women and: Yes. What’s he gonna do about it? I’m out here being a happy little failure, living rent free in the minds of alpha bros everyehere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wanna share your ambien? I want to speak walrus with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the correction. It looks like buying through a platform/app store supports the developers. At that time (years ago) I got into it through a trial. I didn’t know it was free, but glad I supported them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I found Krita easy to use with a mouse, they might still have a free trial going on - that’s what hooked me.

  I know you said raster, but what about working in vector and converting to raster? I found Affinity programs pretty streamlined and affordable for moving back and forth between styles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adderall vape?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll die of excitement while mowing the neighbour’s lawn with scissors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bred wine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This worked! Thank you. My two-hole method was fucking me over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but I’ve been in plastic bag land for a while and every goddamn time I make the first cut, I spill milk everywhere. Is there a trick? I already know the “both sides” method and put it in the jug before I cut the corner. Right now I just have a glass standing by for my obligatory shot every time I open one.
