in addition to a play on selective/strategic nudity, i find flipping the script/fucking the patriarchic hierarchy to be both arousing and fulfilling as well.

that hair is weirding me out. thin, receding hairline in the front yet solid black on the side? must be using the same stylist as giuliani.

i kinda have a soft spot for mormon missionaries after a noteworthy act of kindness and service i won’t forget.

a story: years ago i was in the process of moving from a 3BR/2-story apartment into a rancher flat on the other side of town. had very little funding and a short window to get it all done by myself. picked up a big moving truck and began loading up the furniture, which required finagling the furniture dolly up and down the indoor flight of stairs plus an additional 3 steps off the porch to the pavement. while loading up a bookcase, two mormon missionaries rounded the corner and started approaching me. i was about to dip inside and close the door when they called out, offering help. they were gentle yet determined to provide assistance and i eventually relented. thanks to their strict gender rules i wasn’t able to be in the apartment with them at the same time, so they did it all themselves, loaded up everything into the truck.

going a step further, they then sent a different duo of mormon boys to my new apartment across town to help unload the same truck. i was so grateful that i spent a few hours afterwards listening to their whole pitch, accepted a copy of their cute book and asked a few respectful questions just to be engaged. They spend their missions with so few comforts and conveniences that it was quite surprising to hear. Had to decline the inevitable invitation to attend a morning service at the temple though… especially after learning they are each 4 hours long. yikes.

regardless, obv the meme is 100% valid and the mormon institution (and their political sway in the US) is undoubtedly troubling, but it was really nice to learn that at least some mormon bois while on mission do actually apply their beliefs through action by genuinely helping people in their community. not everyone can say that.

might be more fair to say “women in the US are becoming less inclined to support a dumpster fire like the self-identified modern Conservative Party”.

“start an exciting, fulfilling career with sears”…

[-] Bennettiquette@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

enlightened bit of context here.

correct me if i’m wrong, but these are the colloquial “golden days” that so many want to return to, right? a period which undoubtedly contributed to the presumption of american exceptionalism in the minds of its citizens.

if only there was a way to build a future out of transparency and sustainable systems instead of perpetuating our collective delusions.

“who dies of hunger? eat something you idiot”

armchair speculations: have you watched any videos of botflies? they are responsive to stimulation and will retreat inside when touched. if your puppers fleshy bit is inactive, i’d wager some kind of sebum growth.

Did you misread end a political career for murder? AIPAC absolutely holds political sway in this country. It is no theory or secret.

i wonder about other behaviors as well. like, are tigers also into making biscuits before a nap? would lions also bow for a bongo solo on the base of their tail? how excited would a leopard be to stumble onto a giant heated blanket?

“passable level of technique, entirely uninspired work without any semblance of originality”

they saw right through him.

  1. fuck hamas
  2. fuck khamenei
  3. fuck netanyahu

also fuck assad, for good measure.

with that out of the way, ynet and jpost consistently drop these alarmist takes and rarely back up their claims with sources. now, i don’t doubt the shipment itself, nor israel’s awareness of it. but i can’t find a single other source reporting on this specific alleged escalation into a wider conflict, just ynet. if i had to wager a guess? because iran is continuously investing in their satellite groups. primarily hezbollah, hamas and the houthies, but certainly others, too. arms, funding, training, likely logistics support as well. especially now.

idk, the whole article just reads like padding to diminish that small part about bombing the fuck out of a neighboring country, on one of the last functional airports in the country, causing more devastation to lives and spreading their vengeance-fueled rampage out as far as they possibly can.
