Is your lemmy theme a way to train yourself noticing enemy snipers in the snow?

Same energy

I dont tell people this because i am afraid but i only shower like once a week and im not stinky. Anytime ive mentioned this to anyone they say something along the lines of, "you just get noseblind to it" but the only people truly aware of my showering habits are my roommate and my girlfriend and they say im not stinky. When i originally started living with my roomate he outright asked me how i do not smell like shit. I still clean my dick regularly though because even if it isnt stinky it would be gross if i didnt.

Im convinced i dont produce the stinky chemical as readily as most people. Even after the gym i am not stinky. It makes my girlfriend mad because she wants to "smell my stinky" but anytime i sweat i end up just smelling like outside for a bit.

I picture lemmygrad as being the encyclopedic knowledge of Yogthos coupled with the sardonic wisdom of PolandIsAStateOfMind

On one hand yes, on the other hand- I'm aware it may be rooted in classist, ableist, problematic influences- and having been homeless, having worked manual labor jobs, having struggled with mental health and continuing to struggle, etc- I think I can say I "get it" on some degree- but stinking is a line I feel I will never allow myself to cross, certainly not past whatever short instance if any occurs where I can then shower and get a change of clothes- and it I suppose is also privilege that thankfully, I have never had to go without beyond- at the worst instance one sole time- a week on the streets in the tropical sun years ago, outside of which I have only had such issues of lack of access, overnight or a day or two.

I was raised poor, still am though I hope to better my lot. My family had a whole bunch of classist and ableist stigmas, particularly around mental health. Perhaps I can't move past that with myself- and I also, while treating those who fall short of it with decency- simply do not like the smell of particularly bad B.O. And I suppose being east Asian I feel at least a bit fortunate for my genes, which I'd assume along with my preferred lifestyle tend to leave me far less stinky than if I were not. But stinking is a line that even at my lowest, to whatever ability I can (manual labor/etc would be understandable in the moment), I dare not cross. It's one line in the sand of many that I have drawn for myself- because as I tell myself, I have suffered enough indignities in life- "dignity," however classist and ableist it may be defined in my personal hangups about it, is important to me- and having a bad B.O. would be a step too far, falling into the abyss to me.

No offense to those who do. But I just can't, myself. I won't shame anyone for it or treat them with any less decency, and no doubt in countries or regions where water is in short supply I could see things getting bad even for myself- but it's a line I don't want to cross and will resist to the best of my ability.

Showering is an unjustified hierarch- NO MOM! I'm NOT going to clean my room!
