this is wild to read because many days i literally need a 200mg pill to be physically able to get out of bed, and that is literally all the effect it has on me. If i take 400mg all at once i, like, feel a bit nervous and jittery for a few hours…

Also i’m not sure how accurate what you say can be, because my pills are as stated 200mg and intended to be taken whole, if it was really that big of an issue then surely they’d be 50mg each and you’d be instructed to portion it out over a few hours?

i highly recommend something like P!n, having stuff as persistent notifications has helped me a lot

i actually do fix things later, and that fact makes me feel like i’m violating the natural order

i think it helps a lot that i live alone and thus can keep EVERYTHING precisely as i need it to be, the dishes eventually get washed because i can literally wait until i have 30 seconds of energy and do it then

i feel like people confuse 2 similar but fundamentally different feelings: “I deserve a relationship/sex” and “i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want a relationship/sex and i don’t understand why everyone else seems to get it and i just get to eat shit, like holy shit can someone at least take pity on me? please?”

regular reminder that up to 1.7% of the population is intersex, and grouping people into “male” and “female” to explain societal stuff is very unhelpful.

• Signed: Nonbinary AMAB who has suffered quite a lot from being treated as “male”

Right?
“hm, i’m very upset at the fact that i can’t get into a relationship with the opposite gender, surely the solution to this is vocally hating that opposite gender and being as toxic and unpleasant as i can manage”

Like i get being fundamentally unhappy and angry, but surely the natural reaction to that is escaping into fantasy? Spend your days fantasizing about someone from the opposite gender actively loving the things others dislike, or that you’ll eventually turn out to secretly be a turboawesome vampire or whatever.

At what point does a person decide that hating the people they want to get into bed with makes sense??

okay okay stop flexing, you’re making us feel bad

seriously this could be a 2000’s artsy european cartoon or something, like “la linea”

idk if there are other cool parts, but the one i’m aware of is that their jizzulate is asexual, basically clones (i think). The ferns shed spores which grow into what looks like a leaf on the ground, then those “leaves” have their own more normal sex cells which do the usual thing, which then grow into actual ferns from the surface of the “leaf”.
It’s fucking wild.

Our communities also need people for other things than child rearing, like foraging and healthcare.
It doesn’t really matter that you won’t have kids, if you spend your days preventing people (including children) from dying.

you do realize there are several species where gay sex is the standard, right? For bonobos 60% of sex is between two females.

lol what, you don’t need help getting rid of salt, that’s the whole point of your kidneys! just drink more!

it’s such a shame there’s no way to get a child when you’re single, wouldn’t it be great if you could, like… “adopt” a child to care for?

no improve living conditions, only birth!

I also always note how these discussions seem to utterly forget about the ability to raise kids communally, it’s perfectly possible to just want to raise kids part time, e.g. by having a friend or sibling’s kids over for the weekends so their parents get some time to themselves.

me? gaygaga

overpopulation is not a problem, that’s a fascist talking point

We have an abundance of space and resources, they just have to be distributed equally.

from what i’ve seen they’d consider that a better outcome

companies also love to make it look like lawsuits are frivolous, when in reality the lawsuit was just “they gave me literally boiling hot coffee, not 40°C, not 50°C, literally 95°C coffee that melted my skin when i spilled it”

this would make steve feel slightly gassy

But next to the jumping spiders, they’re the only ones who can hold a good conversation and maintain proper directed eye contact.
