Yup, I’d be very happy to have one or two more life partners. But it’s unlikely to happen because while I love easily, my wife is very selective.

More realistically, I think it would be really good for her if, in addition to me, she had at least a casual girlfriend to enjoy different sorts of intimacy and fun times with. And from my point of view, I’d love to keep a regular sub.

I had a fever dream where I was drifting in and out of consciousness, and it carried on over me like a steamroller for a whole 24 hours.

I dreamt I had an extra sister, who was fully realised in every detail, and I received a phone call (where I was IRL in my waking moments) telling me that she’d died in a car crash.

I remember every detail, down to how she pinched my favourite necklace when I was 12, how I covered for her when she snuck a boy in the house one time, and how it was my fault she died because I helped her pick which car to buy. I should have held out for one with better safety features.

And if I think about her it feels exactly like I’m grieving a real person, even though this was a long time ago.

I still miss you, Joanne.

This is me. Always hot, wet, and dirty … the definitions change depending on the time of year, however …

I’m curious as to how / when you start each, too. Especially the Prodigy / Free Willy synching, lol

ok, but you know James Bond is British, yeah?

So the armed forces recruitment system isn’t quite as aggressive as the US, and because of universal healthcare, and unemployment benefits, people don’t get pushed into it from the other end quite as much, either.

Now I come to think of it, there’s at least a couple of times when we get to see Bond in hospital … usually ending up with him having raunchy sex of some sort … so it’s been done.

Lots of people enjoy watching those movies as they are, not many people enjoy films about realistic personal struggles.

If there’s background noise, I usually ask people to repeat themselves if I can’t hear them, with a bit of obvious hand signals as to the reason.

I wonder what the reason for generally loud families is … maybe being raised by someone who was trying to mask deafness or something :-/

There’s a moment in Fury Road, but it fades very quickly … that’s one of the very few niggles I have with that movie

I guess because an answer to a technical question doesn’t affect someone’s whole life.

I’ll always be in debt to the Trans community here on Lemmy because of how they helped me, even though I’m not a member of the community.

Went out for a lunchtime walk yesterday, it had been raining in the morning, bringing the temp down to about 30°C.

I had to get back indoors after 15 mins because I was just getting hotter and hotter as I walked, even though the air felt cold. Then I noticed that none of the morning’s rain had evaporated, so the humidity was a tad high :-|

It was deceptive, and I can imagine people getting caught out by this if they’re not thinking about it (in the same way the some hikers die when they set off without enough water and get too far out)

I feel really bad when my wife tells me this, because I find loud people annoying … giving this a little perspective, I should be more tolerant of loud people, because maybe they’re even more deaf than me :-/

Ah yes, the sexy and exciting adventures of … needing 18 months to be able to walk unassisted!

Baby Driver uses it as a plot point, and in the cinema the simulated tinnitus was borderline painful at the start.

I have very mild tinnitus (too much time working nightclubs), anyone with it badly has my sympathy :-(

Fuck AIDS, and Fuck the monsters who do everything they can to stop people getting access to proper drug and psychological health services.

My wife has read all of the Harry Potter books (pirated, of course) in Spanish … she only just squeezed through the B1 exam and it’s her third language.

Meanwhile, I work in Spanish, it’s only my second language, and there’s no way I could manage it.

In summary … maybe you can?

Uh huh

“You just haven’t found the right one yet” is a typical passive aggressive way of telling people that they don’t know themselves.

So for me, a lesbian, I got “you just haven’t met the right man yet” many times. Most of the people saying that didn’t know how many men I have known.

Being mocked is a form of oppression … this sort of “humour” reinforces who is to be considered part of an outgroup, that can then be excluded from society.

See: the history of racist, sexist, and bigoted “jokes”

Mmm, it’s probably psychologically good to have a break, to separate the drama of young poly relationships from the point where one is ready to approach it in a mature and caring way

Fair enough, we have different use cases

Meanwhile, I wouldn’t mess with my phone because I need it for stupid things like banking :-/

Last year I did give Haiku a crack, so I’m not completely out of enthusiasm for OS fiddling … but it’s the exception not the rule
