Screw your Ripley-Riddick movie. Let Ripley stay dead. Oh, who I am kidding? I’d totally go see your movie in the theater. At least twice. :D
Now, if there were a Riddick-Xeno crossover with Mae, Zula Hendricks, and The Jackals, I’d be all over that (too).
Now that you mention it, a lack of sexual uptightness seems generally anomalous in the US.
Wait, is it really that rare to have a friend group with whom porn gets shared? My friends and I, men and women, share our favorite porn finds all the time. It’s not for shock value, but sharing things we genuinely enjoy, much like a cool song, a great recipe, or an engaging book.
The purpose(s) that drive me are:
Some people get their validation from sex. They might not even like the sex. In fact they probably don’t enjoy it but they do like that bit of validation.
It took me a few decades to get perspective, but then I encountered people with commitment issues, some of the more chaotic attachment style variants, and various traumas. “Ah, now I understand. You do you and be safe out there, neighbor.”
If they were, “are”, “of” and “and” likely wouldn’t be capitalized.
Yep, you’re right. I missed those.
There are lots of different style guides
I was reluctant to say anything about Chicago, APA, etc.
Totally weird possibility: the author is following the actual grammar rules trying poorly to follow a style guide for capitalization of titles.
Edit: as @hikaru755@lemmy.world pointed out, I totally missed that words were capitalized for which no style guide advises capitalization.
Oh, gawd, it’s a special kind of hell. My partner and I were ENM when we met, but mutually decided we preferred monogamy (long story). Over the past summer, we decided to dip our toes back into having sidepieces. And our tolerance for modern dating bullshit lasted all of three weeks.
We’re not monogamous because of societal norms; we’re monogamous because of zero tolerance for the state of dating. 😆
🤣 I swear, my double-entendre was completely unintentional. Thank you Internet stranger for the solid laugh!
For most of my life, I failed to understand hookup culture and ONS. “Damn, I met someone appealing enough that I would like to have sex with them! You know what would make this better? Never seeing them again!” You discovered a Fountain of Sex! Why abandon that now that it’s flowing?!
Pizza, bagels, knishes, Jewish delis, and whitefish salad.
HJF. That guest list… That wasn’t a black tie dinner. That was an assembly of overlords meeting with the kings of their respective kingdoms. Those are the people one would assemble if feudalism is the goal.
Serious question: what are y’all’s methods to prevent/deal with spicy pillows?
The jokes on them! I buy one for every friend who somehow doesn’t already have one. I also manage to kill one about every two years. My lifestyle is very challenging to technology.
It’s like you know me.
I feel seen and understood. And I’m not white.
Although, I’m currently in the Tennessee/North Carolina cold snap panic. People are all bundled up, and I am genuinely comfortable in my shorts and sandals. About 5 less degrees or 10 MPH more wind, and I’d put on shoes.
They are trying to cause riots
This is my exact read on the matter. We can’t be the only ones to see it this way. What surprises me is that more analysts and pundits aren’t talking about the economic violence from this angle. And when the masses finally reach their threshold, the Conservatives will do their “Whaaaat? So much for the tolerant Left.”
You mean like Jack (both actresses), the Imam (Keith David!), Radha Mitchell, and Claudia Black? I’m generally bad at character names, but can recall the actors.
