My view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you’re stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an “I love you” kiss (romantic) and the other is “let’s fuck now” (sexual).

I’m ace. Kissing and some cuddling makes me very uncomfortable, because it often leads to sex. There have been times that I thought I was sharing a sweet kiss with someone and suddenly they’re trying to slide hands under my clothes. So in my mind that was a romantic kiss, but to the other person it was sexual. This is why it’s so important for people like me to fully discuss things before we start dating someone.

There are different types of ace, you’ll see some aces say they are sex-favorable. That means they don’t feel sexually attracted to anyone, but they will engage in sex. On the opposite side of the spectrum is sex-repulsed. That’s me, I feel absolutely disgusted by sex.

Neat! I tried to identify a few mosses in a flora class, but my professor said it would be too difficult. By the end of the semester none of the Bryophytes I brought in were identified

Avg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn’t it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that’s 100mb/s at most

Is the plant above it Selaginella?

What’s the source for this?

Yes, that’s why I mentioned YouTube, because AFAIK they currently can’t dictate what is streamed online.

I’m not sure what the recent Net Neutrality strike means in this regard though. In March of this year the FCC commissioner stated he wanted control over YouTube TV

I think you have an excellent point about the FCC, and if anything that aspect will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on. Because even my grandmother, who is a few years younger than Murdoch, watches Fox on YouTube now

It would be genuinely funny if the man who has nearly 3x the reported wealth of Trump, and who also owns the media empire that fueled Trump’s political rise, loses here

Although, I wasn’t expecting Musk to get spanked so quickly, so maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about xD

A reality star bounty hunter exhibiting stalker behavior towards people he doesn’t like? That honestly makes so much sense. He deserves the shit talking

Sorry for the IG link

Oh hey, I was in a similar boat. I was such a big fan of Skillet that I got them to sign a skillet at one of those Christian music festivals. I listened to them again recently, those lyrics are definitely propaganda.

Green is in the northwest corner of Wisconsin.

Yellow is honestly a terrible color choice for this map, because the pronunciation isn’t truly regional. I think it’s clustered along the edges of a few different red areas, mostly on the east coast and some Southern areas.

I actually think the author’s note about it being a merging of pronunciation makes sense, because I was raised in a transitional Southern dialect but my parents both have an east Midland dialect

Yes. It’s not very common and seems to occur where regional differences merge.

Ironic because quite a few of those that voted for this would be in nursing homes if they weren’t politicians

He went from schilling for Musk’s company on the White House lawn, to threatening to kill Musk’s subsidies in about 3 months

Get out of my head!

For real though, that’s exactly my thought process

Facebook is damn near a necessity in the area I live because no one wants to host their own websites. I’ve still not given in to making an account, but I’m starting to feel the struggle of not being able to contact small businesses.

So, I can imagine some of those users are multiples of the same person if they also have an account for their business
