It really depends actually. It certainly can be those things and often is, it can also be a strange comfort thing (it often doesn’t follow biology much at all, so it needn’t be realistically harmful and sometimes gets treated as like very unconventional hugs), or just a power fantasy if done from the predator’s perspective
Does niche fetish stuff that isnt exactly designed to offend but which would seem scary or disturbing to most people who’s brains don’t happen to be wired to enjoy it count as transgressive? If so, (a subset of) vore art
If your species showed affection by rubbing against others and you trusted the creature not to step on you, and you were trying to act all sweet to beg for food tho…
I don’t most years, unless a friend really wants to do something with me for it in which case I might go along for their benefit. Not really a holiday person in general though.
Ive never had a password continue to not work after doing this, personally, so I must not’ve encountered that reason
When that happens I usually just exit the password reset page without entering a new one and then log in again with the old
Wasn’t there a thing recently where Trump was suspending enforcement of the Jones act? Or did he flip-flop on that already
A failed state doesn’t just imply the fall of a government, it refers to a degradation of the conditions of a country such that effective governance by anyone is impossible for a period. Think like has happened in Somalia, or Haiti. I’m not going to claim that the Iranian government is a particularly admirable one, but that kind of condition would be even worse for the people living there, and the chances of that process resting in something significantly better when the country finally recovers again aren’t terribly high.
The issue with solar for stuff on the moon is that it’s night is very long compared to earth, so anything you power with it needs to be able to shut down (and also get very cold without powered heaters) without harm over that time, or have a comparatively large amount of energy storage. Unless you’re at one of a handful of spots at the poles where the sun almost never fully sets.
Unlike Tararre, who just got kicked out of hospital when suspended of that
Wasnt “messengers sent by one country being attacked by rival they were sent to” a source of a number of historical conflicts? I seem to recall the mongols destroying some empire in revenge over that, at the very least.
Waffle house must’ve been too tempting for Randy.
Funny thing about crocodilians, they look a bit lizardy, but theyre closer to birds than they are to lizards
Ive already done most of the obvious things I can think of for my current living situation (I dont own a car for one thing, and I’ve quit using the gas kitchen appliances that came with my apartment in favor of an electric hotplate and toaster oven, which are big enough for my purpose, and Ive stopped eating meat, which isn’t a direct reason to personally buy fossil fuels but given it’s less efficient for the calories gained it’d use more fuel to make than plant’s Id think).
The biggest use I have left is heat, that’s gas in my current place, moving somewhere newer is probably out of my price range if I still want to be able to walk to work, and I cant exactly remodel a property I don’t own to change the heating system. Ive looked into window unit heat pumps before, and they seemed too expensive for me to do easily at the time, but I suppose it has been a couple years so there’s a chance cheaper ones have come to market.
I’d really love to try some of that balcony solar I’ve seen talked about recently, if weren’t for the fact that I don’t have a balcony to mount it on in the first place and that I’ve heard it poses some risk of overloading wiring, which given the age of my apartment I’m not sure I trust.
It is possible to use vortex, I have it set up for my skyrim install. Followed this video for the most part but found a couple things it didn’t say that I had to figure out (for example, to install mods I found that I have to manually download and then put them into the vortex downloads folder to allow them to be installed): https://youtube.com/watch?v=-4Bf3gePcCU
This sort of thing does make me worry that society as a whole will get paranoid of people that wear glasses out of suspicion that they might be smart glasses that are secretly recording them or such. A court room can probably have something set up to check them, but I mean more just out in the world
I work somewhere that makes measuring/inspection/imaging sort of equipment that has a rather wide variety of uses, so I get somewhat mixed feelings when it comes to pride. Sometimes it’ll get announced that NASA is buying our stuff to inspect their space probe for defects and I’ll be proud of it, and other times it’ll be like a coal mine ordering it and I’ll feel disappointment. On the whole I think its generally a net positive, but it’s not something truly crucial for society and more a thing that makes a whole lot of different stuff slightly easier or more efficient.
