wow, I did not expect the flood of emotion that came when I saw the old pet designs are back

my first pet is a gnorbu named Sylfrancesca (I forgot the pain of finding a unique name that isnt hideous lol)

my die for pets so far are nostalgic baby gnorbu, plushie kourga, and baby kourga. I wanted a baby kourga so bad. the GRUNDO. i have a strong bias towards plushies. grey ixi, fairie xweetok. I wonder if draiks are still insanely difficult to get? and krawks!

how easily i fall back into this obsession

Can you mention some kinds of charity that dont involve increased responsibility? I would like to help people more but don’t feel I have room in my life for more responsibility rn

Your arrogance and projection shines through your comments. Reddit sucks indeed, and you are making lemmy a more toxic and miserable place to be. Blocked

The original comment never said the government was forcing people to have it. Most people need a mortgage to own a home, few are privileged enough to avoid a mortgage by inheriting a home or buying one outright. Less than 25% of homeowners own their home outright. So most are effectively forced to have home insurance

I understand the connotation, most people only consider things like youtube, tiktok, and facebook social media. but there is an actual definition for social media and even the old chat boards fit that definition

that isnt a requirement for something to be social media. lemmy is definitely social media, it’s better than most but still qualifies

she grimaced?

this some bass (bAYse) vs bass (bASS) shit

it’s been years since I’ve played so I cant wait to jump in with a new save and experience everything like new

I experienced this playing neopets in the early-mid 2000s so it’s not exactly new, but might be more prevalent now

Girls experience similar discomfort when they arent cleaned well, as the labia can trap pee and toilet paper. You wanna start advocating that girls have their labia minora removed, or do you wanna recognize how flawed your argument is?

Edit: also, this isnt a problem in other countries lol, an epidemic of boys running around with pee-encrusted penises. They’re taught how to clean themselves, it really isn’t that difficult or complicated.

Seeing your other comments, if you are to remain faithful to your argument then you must advocate for female circumcision as well, since not all girls have parents, or parents who are willing to keep them clean every day. The labia can trap a lot of bacteria and can get very irritated if not thoroughly cleaned. This is high level female genital mutilation, but hey, at least they won’t remember the pain of irritated labia, right?

Even worse, this trapped bacteria is part of why girls have higher risk of UTI, which, if left untreated, can progress to a kidney infection, sepsis, and death! So let me know how fervently you support female genital mutilation with your newfound knowledge.

Why do you believe there is no trauma to the infant, because they cant remember it? They still experience all of the pain, and they dont even know why it happened to them

ETA: infants and toddlers who experience physical and/or sexual abuse often dont remember the experience(s), but still suffer the effects of their trauma in adulthood. Remembering the event is not a requirement for being traumatized

there are several different levels of female genital mutilation, one of which removes the clitoral hood and is quite similar to a male circumcision. both are fucked

So is the distinction between hating the British empire and British people. The empire caused mass harm around the globe, like the Nazis did. Your concern seems to be about people’s view of the empire, which would be similar to someone complaining that people unfairly hate the German government of the early-mid 1940s…

I dont understand the questions, what is the context of both of these things?

At minimum there would be mass celebration across the country, and some worldwide

Every few months I have to reset my dictionary. My phone will eventually decide that because I mostly use the words “hope” and “will” at the beginning of sentences, the correct spelling must be capitalized. Drives me nuts

have fun getting “canceled” here too

no, just forgetful lol

famous examples of this in my family include “lava mountain” for volcano and “lamp hat” for lamp shade
