I think love here means falling in love, in an erotic way. The broad term “love” complicates communication sometimes.

Most people are not really rational, though, so the blackmail would still work very well.

I’d love to see him do more standup one day. I say this as a citizen of a nation whose president went from writing theatre pieces to being persecuted and imprisoned to being a president and back to writing theatre pieces.

This happens to women too. The embarrasement is real and the societal pressure to not be seen as a slut is everpresent. Playing it safe is a popular strategy no matter the gender.

This doesn’t seem like a good argument. More research into renewable and storage technology can also lead to interesting discoveries useful in other fields.

But there are many more car accidents, so the cities are taken out anyway, but one family at a time.

No.

Showing empathy is a valuable contribution.

Usually not craving children, though.

The second option, I’d say.

Not just comments, negative things in general. I think in my case it’s connected to a hereditary predisposition to depression and anxiety. The bad stuff makes a large impact and the good stuf just doesn’t seem to produce any neural pathways. It’s physiological. Some of my family got much better with modern antidepresants. I went a different way and I’m ok now as well, it took decades though.

I have this trait irl. It’s good to know about it and even better to try to regulate it, because it makes life seem so much worse than it really is. I can see there are people who don’t have it this way and who just forget all the bad stuff almost immediately - must be nice.

The jerks don’t have a point if they say you’re fake and pretending you’re younger than you really are, as OP mentioned elsewhere. There’s no reason to introspect if these are the accusations.

This can happen and it feels terrible. On the other hand, I find it quite nice that there were several people there ready to defend you and the hater got downvoted into oblivion. You’re not alone and you’re being loved.

Just like friends.

While we’re at it, let’s make an honorable mention of the naughtiest of all Amorphophallus species, A. fornicatus.

Black bellied, but yeah!

I don’t know about the physical activity. Gorillas are known for not moving around much. But they lack the muscle size regulation that we have.

It’s not an invasion if they’re white.

Thank you.
