Yep, people’s reactions differ. It’s still a very effective way to bond with people, but it’s obviously not suitable for you. That’s ok.

People often vent that way. They need to hear they’re not alone in this shit - it makes them feel better.

I have the opposite problem. I feel like I’m smiling a nice decent smile, but then I see I looked totally maniacal.

People actually LOVE to complain to each other. Perhaps if you shared your downer shit, you could find lots of connection. Just be sure to dose the information in small bits, so that the other person has enough space to react and share their own depressiive stories.

You should try harder, probably.

The meme is offering you classy stockings to wear according to your distro choice. Look again - are you happy with the color? Would they complement or contrast your body stylishly? Have fun :)

The point of the post is you can, though.

That is more freedom inthis particular way, but not necessarily more democracy.

Edit: and reading more about it, it’s not even true about the Spanish confiscations.

That takes time, the rare spare time not everyone has and not everyone wants to spend on making a bought product useful.

And my ex!

Kittenhood. The minimum sentence: lifetime of cuddling, free food and play.

Looks more like stupid sexy Cheery Littlebottom

Old enough to remember.

It differs regionally.

Both the son and the father having a great time.

Just to be clear, I see polygamy as bad only because of the women oppression aspect. But the world is a big place and history is long, so I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point there was some system that allowed for polygamy without oppressing women. Mentioning mormons - don’t you think they can be seen as another weird different group - and therefore be also object of xenophobia? Notice I intentionally didn’t use the word racism, what I mean is just the sentiment that people doing things differently than my group must be deadly wrong.

But the probability you get wed to a guy who sets you aside because bored and then marries your girlfriend out of pure respect to you is very low.

I think in western culture it might be a bit of both, and also a bit of xenophobia - it’s different, so it must be bad. I’d be interested in knowing more too. Very good question.

I agree fully. If you were not allowed to eat other life, you would be left with licking salt. But that’s not what I meant. What I meant was people use the “thing” label to make it easier to drop empathy - to do shitty things to both humans and other animals.
