I’m a woman I assume men “look at me” in the way you’re talking about, I also often look at men in similar ways, albeit with significantly less urgency, as long as the person looking isn’t leering or ogling the other person I don’t think it’s a problem. If you do happen to make eye contact a simple nice smile and getting on with your day is the best friendly/non threatening way to diffuse it acting shady like you got caught doing something bad makes it seem like that.

It’s normal just be discreet and respectful if you do happen to be caught

I met the All Thing but I listened to the voices

I guess it doesn’t matter to me? Why does there need to be a meaning beyond right here and right now and existing?

I’m the best fucking converser there is! AMA!!

Is anyone testing for new variants in the H5N1 family?

Gardening is an incredibly expensive hobby from a resources, space and time perspective on top of the investment of start up. Farming exists because gardening isn’t efficient enough to save money, it’s why calories have historically been so expensive

Herbs are often expensive to buy and fairly easy to grow and give you a big quality of life boost, I say start an herb garden, that’s actually worth it

Basically all of them at this point

Seems like I would survive no matter what?

Since I’m not allowed to become famous I guess I’d go find a sweet island somewhere and periodically send world governments anonymous letters about things to avoid, if I can, rules were kind of unclear, am I allowed to change the future just as long as it’s not to my personal benefit or not at all cause that going to be impossible, and enjoy my life

I think it’s more likely that those willing to ruthlessly abuse, exploit and manipulate others and the physical world in terms of resources are also much more likely to be the type of person who’s sexuality revolves around those same things. These guys are pedophiles sure but I’m sure they’re not loving, kind and compassionate lovers to the wives, partners or paid companions. It’s a different kind of sadism. I think that “the only thing standing in the way” is that I have no desire for that money and power and that alone is protective, beyond that I don’t have access to it so I’m not at risk of being corrupted. The human race has a love affair with hierarchy and money is easiest way to feed that beast, and those who are the best at sacrificing their own to it win, and kids are an easy target.

Running those things costs money, there’s no money to be made finding lost old people or kidnapped children, tracking everyone and collecting data however…

I’m in Washington, Washington is 3,000 miles away ☹️

It’s always been 90% grifters. Survivorship bias

I think the issue with this situation is often one person assuming they know what’s important and what’s not instead of letting the other person decide for themselves once they’re given the full info, it’s why omissions are often considered lies.

You’re actually not entitled to decide what others find important or not

A deception is a lie though, they’re synonyms.

This just feels like mental gymnastics to me

The intent matters. Did you omit something on purpose to serve your own agenda/narrative or did you omit something for some other reason.

If you’re omitting something to serve yourself it’s a lie.

Keep your condoms behind the books, impress me

Title but unironically

You might also have or carry the cystic fibrosis gene that makes your sweat extra salty and staining. I have CF all my pillows are WAY worse than this and my parents both have the same issue, a few extended family members too.

Salt in sweat will just do this but extra salty sweat will fuck up the way a pillow looks

Leave my pillow alone!
