wow, I did not expect the flood of emotion that came when I saw the old pet designs are back

my first pet is a gnorbu named Sylfrancesca (I forgot the pain of finding a unique name that isnt hideous lol)

my die for pets so far are nostalgic baby gnorbu, plushie kourga, and baby kourga. I wanted a baby kourga so bad. the GRUNDO. i have a strong bias towards plushies. grey ixi, fairie xweetok. I wonder if draiks are still insanely difficult to get? and krawks!

how easily i fall back into this obsession

People wear shirts they don’t know much about because they like the color, fit, and/or design. Pretty simple.

My husband is like this, just buys shirts if he likes the color, fit, and/or design. Doesnt care what the subject is. He’s never been interrogated about how much he knows about them

Can you mention some kinds of charity that dont involve increased responsibility? I would like to help people more but don’t feel I have room in my life for more responsibility rn

I require the dulcet tones of Fran Fine thank you very much

My favorite interaction was on a college campus. They had set up a table and were telling every passerby “Jesus loves you!” So I cheerfully returned “and Allah loves you!”

I will forever cherish the physical recoil and look of revulsion that crossed their faces. I’m an atheist, for context

it’s been years since I’ve played so I cant wait to jump in with a new save and experience everything like new

man, i hate when my ADHD makes me sexually abuse a teenager 😔

I experienced this playing neopets in the early-mid 2000s so it’s not exactly new, but might be more prevalent now

Girls experience similar discomfort when they arent cleaned well, as the labia can trap pee and toilet paper. You wanna start advocating that girls have their labia minora removed, or do you wanna recognize how flawed your argument is?

Edit: also, this isnt a problem in other countries lol, an epidemic of boys running around with pee-encrusted penises. They’re taught how to clean themselves, it really isn’t that difficult or complicated.

Seeing your other comments, if you are to remain faithful to your argument then you must advocate for female circumcision as well, since not all girls have parents, or parents who are willing to keep them clean every day. The labia can trap a lot of bacteria and can get very irritated if not thoroughly cleaned. This is high level female genital mutilation, but hey, at least they won’t remember the pain of irritated labia, right?

Even worse, this trapped bacteria is part of why girls have higher risk of UTI, which, if left untreated, can progress to a kidney infection, sepsis, and death! So let me know how fervently you support female genital mutilation with your newfound knowledge.

Why do you believe there is no trauma to the infant, because they cant remember it? They still experience all of the pain, and they dont even know why it happened to them

ETA: infants and toddlers who experience physical and/or sexual abuse often dont remember the experience(s), but still suffer the effects of their trauma in adulthood. Remembering the event is not a requirement for being traumatized

there are several different levels of female genital mutilation, one of which removes the clitoral hood and is quite similar to a male circumcision. both are fucked

yea that tracks, lemmy.world mods are ridiculous

So is the distinction between hating the British empire and British people. The empire caused mass harm around the globe, like the Nazis did. Your concern seems to be about people’s view of the empire, which would be similar to someone complaining that people unfairly hate the German government of the early-mid 1940s…

I occasionally pop into politics threads for the same reason lol, very quick way to filter assholes out of my lemmy experience!

I dont understand the questions, what is the context of both of these things?

Every few months I have to reset my dictionary. My phone will eventually decide that because I mostly use the words “hope” and “will” at the beginning of sentences, the correct spelling must be capitalized. Drives me nuts

I have to do something more fun, i cant do cardio or weights no matter what i watch or listen to. Dance and martial arts are super engaging.

Shadowheart’s “she looks like she could throw me over her shoulder and carry me to safety” really made me wish this was a thing lol. Also, this makes me wanna get buff, cause DAMN Karlach

Thanks for this! I would love Sapiens if no one else has claimed it (:
