Used to catch them growing up. There would be thousands of them periodically blinking in the yard and across the field every night. It was pretty and serene.
I saw one just the other night when I let my dogs out before going to bed. It was so surprising that I had to wait a minute and verify I wasn't just seeing things. It was a real life lightning bug. It was a happy sad moment.
Chase powder and try to snowboard year round until I physically can't. I'd love to have a highlight video of riding spines in Alaska. Really, if I could have the skills and the means to be able to compete on the natural selection tour, even if I didn't compete, just be good enough to do so, that would be heaven.
I'm calling on all Texas children everywhere to vandalize these commandments at every opportunity. Maybe you can't or shouldn't march during tense situations on the streets, but you can protest in the class room. Walkouts, sit ins, general malfeasance... Let's see what this younger generation has.
Are you suggesting that seeing a bunch of cargo trucks on satellites means that it's would have been able to go from no nukes to functional nukes in less time than it would take comes to vote on striking? Cargo trucks and mobilization in a foreign country is absolutely not a justifiable reason to attack. Especially considering the strikes that came before and the evacuation that Iran went through in anticipation of Trump's terrorism. There's naturally going to be an uptick in activity.
There's absolutely no gray area in this one. There wasn't an imminent threat and he bypassed the constitution by bypassing Congress to attack a foreign nation.
NGL, I don't think that this was the response I was expecting. If you're being sincere, then I apologize for the hostility in what I've said. I got heated and said some things that are harsh. I know that as a straight caucasian male that I come from a place of privilege, and it's definitely easier to say something than it is to do something.
It's difficult for me to wrap my head around the idea that talking about pregnancy can be a trigger in this sense, but I do empathize with your situation. When I said I grew up in a small down with no out gay people, that was true. Within a year of me graduating, at least 5 maybe a couple more of my class of around 70 came out. One of them definitely went through some shit in school, because kids can be awful. I can proudly say I wasn't one of the bullies, but you'd have to live under a rock to not see it happening. I have no doubts that that can have a slew of possible effects that carry on into adulthood.
That's a lot of words to say, I hope that if you're going through some stuff or still fighting demons, that you find your way and live a happy life with the partner of your choosing.
Someone is starting a family? Someone is going through an emotional situation? Someone is going getting IVF? There's a lot more to having a child than fucking. Again, the fact that your mind immediately jumps to that conclusion and further that it grosses you out is extremely juvenile. There are 5th graders learning about sex ed that handle the notion of PIV sex better than you, who I assume is an adult.
I think that if you immediately jump to PIV sex, that's fucked up. Grow up, be an adult. That's it. Other than that, take control of your own life. You don't like people putting you down for being gay? Don't put up with it. Stick up for yourself, or don't. Idgaf.
You're changing "trying to have a baby" to "unprotected vaginal sex" which is not what's being said, and comparing that to you saying "cuddling your BF". If you immediately jump to the specific details about them having sex, that's a you problem and kinda fucked up.
If you want to say you're cuddling your BF this weekend, and people are upset about it, put them on the spot and ask why. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that statement. Publicly shame people for their bigotry, and maybe they'll grow up or at least shut up.
I'm not gay. I worked in manufacturing for almost a decade, and those environments tend to attract a certain demographic of people. One June I put a rainbow flag up on my desk and it stayed there until I left the company. One of my favorite past times was pressuring people who made back handed comments to explain them. Admittedly, I grew up in a small town with 3 black people and no out gay people. It took me a minute to get comfortable with something that I grew up thinking was disgusting because of my surroundings. I fortunately didn't have to be shamed into change, just exposure was enough, but there are others that will never get there on their own.
If I were to tell you that I have 3 kids, would you also be disgusted that I've had vaginal sex at least 3 times? Or is that somehow different?
Unpopular opinion for sure, but one built on immaturity and inability to reason as an adult.
If you were in an office and someone says that they are dropping loads in their wife, yea, that's fucked up and significantly different from saying that they're trying to have a child.
I just hope that midterms cause a huge shift in Congress, and the next "leader" has the balls to have a Nuremberg trials like situation to hold the current admin accountable. I want heads to literally and figuratively roll.
