I can genuinely hold them both in my heart at once but I absolutely want them to tell me what they are about vibe-wise

I am afraid your wife is right. Personally i like my yonic/womb symbolism a but more pointy/sharp, but it's readable on a second look

I admire your restraint in not making a 'baals' joke

This is basically warhammer 40k

Isn't that basically Heated Rivalry?

I just want to say that that's a service I am happy to provided. Sapphic, gay, queer in ways we have no words for and I'll even dabble into the depths of depravity that is cishet, occasionally, when I'm feeling brave

Time travel film where the VFX technology matches the era technology and genre conventions. A soldier travels to 1982 to stop an invasion. 1982 is all Star Trek guy in rubber mask aliens, matte paintings and practical gore; the present is modern CGI. No one acknowledge any discrepancy.

This plus a reminder that historically 'anti pornography laws' and 'decency laws' are excuses or rehearsals for how busy body institutions can legislate, control and criminalize private behavior.

Then they could find smooth bridges to talk about sexuality, consent, gender expression, pleasure, fears and desires (not just sexual ones) that they currently don't have.

So yeah, I am an interested party but... we should treat smut as what it is, not as something spiritually shameful and tainted

Transgression is such a wide field, and the step-relative thing was very specific. And there might be insights into the human mind there and in every other kink which we might not be able to access, explore or see the shape of without smut. If people weren't socialized to avoid talking about smut

Porn can show us what activates people. No doubt there's an interesting reason why 'step sibling' faux incest context exploded in popularity when it did? Isn't it a interesting question as to why? And why then and not before? People say it's transgression element and no doubt that's part of it but

Art made to indulge and explore impulses is inherently deep. Pornography doesn't look so on the outside because people have been socialized not to see nor seek depth in it. To be ashames to discuss it openly. But even at its most shallow format, like the contextless 30 seconds PornHub video

I am currently developing a thesis that high income correlate with sickness in felines:

So far I have a small sample of only three (3) cats, but a decade long longitudinal study suggests that whenever there's some money left on the family account at the end of the month, one of them gets sick

🤔

Stoat rhymes with goat. That's my best argument for it

bart simpson from the simpsons says this is the worst day of my life ALT: bart simpson from the simpsons says this is the worst day of my life

Most unaffordable price... So far

That makes sense, but also a lot of Indie games are deliberately pushing to blur the edges between certain genres or defy genre conventions so it can be tricky to classify then neatly as X or Y

Some heroes wear capes, some wear brown hoodies

A humorous edit of the Merriam-Webster dictionary page for the definition of the word 'Aura', edited to show a photo of the brown hoodie anti-ICE student as part of the definition

Hey @merriam-webster.com are you guys taking suggestions?

It doesn't even come close to making things better, but I am looking forward to an inevitable avalanche of rightful civil lawsuits against ICE and the fact that even if police is giving them a pass now, all these abuses might still come to light in court

It's almost like all the hate and fearmongering was pointless cruelty against trans people by rich, powerful conservative men without actually reflecting neither the needs nor the opinions if their own base.

Who could've predicted this?

I don't disagree that's a ideological blocker, but the true structural blocker is strong capital wanting the workforce to accept starvation wages and fearing that UBI will make people less desperate to accept or stay in poorly paying jobs.

There is also pure malice, but that's harder to measure.

I legit mostly see smut, in writing or in drawn form. (This is a good thing)

Red Dawn fundamentally misunderstood how Americans would resist occupation, and which Americans would.

I started really get into Dioramas lately as I needed something crafty and manual to do. Now I find myself looking at delivery boxes and packages and thinking "hrm... This is the good cardboard."

Life is weird sometimes

That armour is 🥵🥵💦

So like every boomer uncle that knows every fact about [sport/industry] he's not a part of, and talks about them with glee?

There's a "farm to table" joke somewhere in there but I'm to sleep deprived to find it

Have you ever been so tired/depressed that "doing nothing" is not restful enough? You need to do less but that's not available

They slash them? No wait, that's the samurai one

Unfortunately the left is not immune from the occasional case of 'really bad take'. I would need to hear someone's grounds to think that before I judge too harshly but in the face of it, I don't see it
