What you might want is a permanent easement, as is often used for conservation purposes

Bags are very different to me than cars for some reason. They are more personal, perhaps, as one can usually see the person and the busy bag together.

Thinking about it, perhaps I see bumper stickers as impersonal and maybe even agressive (probably passive-aggressive even). A cute frog or two is vastly different to me than a collage of political sayings and it hardly matters if I happen to agree with the particular statements.

Maybe it’s a matter of taste or perhaps I feel disdain because it looks like political activity but is actually utterly worthless at changing minds?

It’s a 3D model format used in 3D printing. It’s a generic CAD file type, if you are into 3D design stuff

It’s available as an STL that prints in resin quite well. I had to hollow the base and add a drain hole, but now I am very pleased with the doom I have brought upon myself.

Any kind of of bumper sticker collection on the trunk(boot) lid.

One sticker with a snarky or clever saying is fine, but I do instantly judge anyone with a collage as a tacky person with poor taste and no sense of boundaries.

It matters not if I tend to agree with the advertised messages, it’s just a huge red flag to me.

Speaking of that, does anyone know the deal behind the ‘drug take-back days’ that US police sometimes do? I mean, who actually drops off drugs at a police station?

I know, right, we don’t even know if it was dairy milk.

Thank you for taking the time to write that. That was very well thought out and I really can’t see much or anything to quibble about.

I am a gay man raised in a conservative culture and I really know quite a lot of men in their 30s and 40s who are straight and accepting of me, but still deeply deeply troubled and confused about what it means to be a man. They struggle to identify and articulate their emotions quite a lot.

The fact that those in same-sex relationships have to invent their own ways of dividing the work in a partnership without reference to pre-defined gender roles makes their insight incredibly useful to the world at large. A lot of the struggles that men experience are due to rigid gender roles that do not allow for healthy expression.

I get a little bit angry because it’s like we were expected to accept that provisional approval from the Supreme Court, which as we all know is a very fragile victory.

Why? Because frankly, I think gay men and lesbians have a lot to teach about relationships just by existing visibly. Transgender people do too, but they do not yet enjoy the patchy and tentative acceptance that same sex relationships between cis people have achieved in the large parts of the USA. Their struggle is very intense right now and the LGBQs can help by getting loud again.

Why did we give up on the fight so early? The struggle for existence is not quite as dire for gay and lesbian people as it used to be, but it is still quite a struggle as nothing is assured. But it is not just for our benefit that we must be visible. Frankly, our experience gives us a great deal of wisdom and insight that our society, and men especially, desperately need.

Unequivocally yes.

I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, that’s a lot of plant id work). We would see who could come up with the filthiest mnemonics to remember plant families and such.

Our professor, a brilliant botanist with a filthy mind and tenure, was delighted beyond measure at how well the entire cohort did on the practical plant ID exams. But mostly he enjoyed watching our classroom discussions.

There are too many fscking proteins and I won’t put up with it anymore!

It is exactly because Microsoft does suck fucks.

If you really want help, you almost need to dox yourself by giving pretty specific location info. So please don’t do that.

Land matters are very complex in any country. In the USA, laws around land use can vary from one block to another. 50 states and many matters are delegated from each state to their counties for implementation.

My point is, yes, you may be able to arrange such a community.

It can be a tricky legal, political and social affair that is very specific to your exact site.

So plan on a huge learning curve and learning how to find the right kind of legal and organizational advice.

Mmm, bushy.

Strawberry seeds are designed by a malevolent god to stick perfectly in human front teeth.

The film was better than the old MTV series it was based on. They built a compelling world in the animated version, but the film delivered on that vision.

In cybersecurity, this is called red-hat or red-team work. Maybe the search terms will help you find what you need.

Weekend warriors on a men’s retreat. Anything to avoid going to therapy.

Awesome resource, thank you for posting it.

Here’s one reason why a hip level perspective would be so helpful as a neuroscience tool. It is an ethical and reversible experimental intervention that could add real experimental power to functional brain-body mapping.

Combine the perspective shift induced by the virtual rearrangement of sensory input with fNIRS for cortical imaging, perhaps before, during and after the hip-view experience. A company focused on near infrared cortical imaging products

I am certain a proper neuroscientist could come up with even better and more detailed questions to ask using the method.

Something like this could even be used as a therapy tool for trauma, perhaps, once the impact of the perspective shifts were understood well. A common trauma response is dissociation and common therapy methods include ways to help people reconnect with their whole bodies again.

The body is the mind. Change your body, change your mind.

Just saying, polymorph spells are problematic.

So now I actually think this idea is on to something brilliant. I have been diving into neuroscience lately and this sounds like an amazing experimental method.

It’s like non-surgically transplanting your eyes into your hips. Why do that? To further refine brain-body mapping.

We turn our head instinctively to aid vision. Once our brain realizes that visual input improves only when we move our hips, body awareness will shift significantly.
