I'm sorry, I really don't have the time to do reading comprehension with you, I've put it pretty clearly in the very first Idea I've listed. Also, reread my conclusion and see how much someone's job shows up in what I've written.

Have a good'un.

While I agree with the fact that this kind of behaviour [i.e. randomly "hanging brain" (my new favourite idiom), unsolicited, in someone's DMs] is SO many shades of shitty in whichever context it happens, in this case in particular the job description* really does work for building up context and highlighting the dichotomy between the type of people who send dick pics and the type of people they sometimes reach.

As a bottom line, it should serve as a good enough cautionary tale about keeping one's damned junk in their pants unless someone wants to see it, because one'll most likely end up looking like an utter asshole while also potentially ruining someone else's mood for literally no good reason whatsoever.

(still me, blahaj is down)

Edit: to avoid any pointless "but it isn't just men" replies, of course it isn't just men, but women seem to not have such a huge friggin' need to expose themselves to unaware passers-by. This is me, speaking as an AMAB and approximately cishet. And I wouldn't like to see a random centrefold on my phone while checking my messages, either, to be perfectly frank. There's a time and a place, and many more factors before I get to that point.

Yep, may even be caused by certain forms of c-PTSD. I was required to develop hypervigilance as a method of survival, so everything bad/unfortunate/uncomfortable sounds the alarm, while anything good/normal/producing joy is *mostly glossed over (*extremes are still registered), as the main goal is staying alive and the latter won't kill me.

Really haven't heard it used in these contexts before! Thank you!

On the plus side, it'll be a while before my brain rewires the context associated with the word, so now I'll amuse myself imagining every political figure addressed as such wearing Pope hats and stuff.

(yep, still me, this is my second account, trouble getting into the other one, for some reason)

Yep, genuinely only ever heard it when talking in a monarchic context, about kings/queens, Lords/Ladies and such, and in a Church context - as mentioned, when referring to the Pope, and Archbishops and such (remembered this latter part only now that I thought about it again).

Funny, "Excellency" is what feels over the top to me, but may be due to the contexts in which I've heard it used - circumstances which have much more pomp and pageantry associated with them.

Anyway, thank you! Learn something new every day!

Sorry for the delay, I can't see your comment with my blahaj.zone account.

To answer your question, she knows. She's known for a while now, several years before the sex happened. She didn't say no, she didn't reciprocate, she just dropped something about being worried that we're too similar, and left it at that. I kinda' got the gist of it through not understanding her position on it (I took it as her being uncertain about what she was looking for), so I took it as a "no," dropped the subject, and went for Friend Mode, to avoid awkwardness.

I'm well past the point where I danced around the subject with potential romantic interests, I lay it all out when things look ready for a potential turn and let the other person react. I've had my fill of masochistically wallowing in uncertainty, believe me.

And I'm minding my own life, keeping my options open and all that. Had my share of (failed) relationships during the time we've known eachother.

Edit: to add, neither have I. Then again, I was black-out drunk, so I can't really speak much of my psychological condition at that point, and she wasn't far behind in terms of inebriation. I was drinking to wipe myself out, sex was not a contingency I'd even considered.

Generally, yes, even during winter for the most part.

I do agree with you that politics have become mostly circus without much bread, but I'd say we should never give up on our gift of making light of the hardships.

I mean, dunk as it may be, it's a good one. I'd even go as far as calling it a sick burn and a smart jab!

Edit: plus populism is the playing field now, memes and smartass quips are how you win the base over. I'm not saying I agree with this particular way of going about things, but reality is undeniable nonetheless. We'd be wise to master the tools.

Oh, I 100% understand that. Wanted to try handling a tarantula in a German pet shop, nearly fainted (knees got weak the instant I registered her on my skin, and I could tell she was not in any way aggressive...).

On the other hand, I've had one of those massive cockroaches sniffing around on my face, and not even a twitch. I seldom understand my brain.

Oh, wow! I'd probably just die if I ever saw a wolf spider in my tub! Like, complete simultaneous organ failure, the energy which is me would just eject from my body.

Lucky for me, I live in Temperate-Continental, so my biggest threat is seeing a Long-Legs dangling down to check up on me while I'm showering!

And I'm serious about this. Maybe it was just me imagining things, but I swear they started inspecting me every now and again. Like, I'd be at my desk playing, and I'd see one rapelling from the ceiling, like 20-30 cm away from me. Seldom has any descended onto the actual desk, though, they'd just hang for a bit, then climb back up. It was strangely comforting, though, it makes them feel a lot more alive and present than the mind would tend to think about an eight-legged thing right out of my nightmares. They really have become my roommates.

Some times you just need to get it out of your system, y'know?

She's the perfect political distraction, a loud moron who spouts some of the vilest and downright stupidest things a human being will ever hear. She deserves to be kept out of politics because she is a moron, her political leanings needn't even be included in considering her capabilities. Either way, it is a sad time in our history, the proliferation of Right-Wing ideas (and I'm talking about the hateful shit) in general should never have happened again.
