Humans anthropomorphize pretty much everything around us with varying levels of accuracy. I’m fairly certain that my dog and cat feel anger and love in a very similar way to the way I do. I’m pretty sure plants really don’t, but they might a little bit more than a storm cloud. However you apply that to your spirituality or your perception of that of others is going to be a highly personal experience for you.

I feel like you shouldn’t have more than 1, maybe 2 properties you don’t live in that are tax free and no corporations should ever own property; they should only be allowed to rent unless the business owner owns the property. So if you’re super wealthy you can have like one maybe two and or one each vacation house / business location. And if you are renting out your second / third property, you have a LOT of competition just by design. Anything more than that should be legal, but get taxed at an exponential scale. Honestly if we left all assets where they are and just portioned all business assets to their owners then taxed like that they’d have to sell to not be taxed to death and it would all equalize pretty quickly. What counts as “one property” should be in terms of population over acreage in suburban and rural areas, and population over square footage in urban areas. HOAs should only exist as shared governance of buildings that are physically attached to each other.

OK not implying anything I’m just fascinated to know either way if psychoactive substances were involved because this could really go either way and be interesting to note.

It’s also good as an estimate if you hugely widen what’s taken as normal. 80 is just too damn high and 12 for an adult is just too damn low.

I have 4, one for each decade of life

1. Stargate SG1
2. Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and Sociology of Sex
3. Violence prevention, deescalation, and management in inpatient psychiatry (which became my career)
4. Western Esoteric spiritual practices including Tarot, Astrology, Tasseography, Palmistry, and the myriad religious beliefs that they syncretistically evolved from

Yeah hubs is right about these things about 90% of the time (me not being on those parts of the internet often) but nobody bats 100%

a) most of the time you actually don’t want to know. You take precautions with everybody, half the time knowing just makes it harder to pass dinner trays.

b) they also just. hire brand new adults with highschool diplomas. give them a two week crash course in psychiatry. then just. “Here’s the criminally insane men!”

It’s also not hard to do casually without having to grovel. My nursing subspecialty is violence management and I frequently respond to things with,“thank you for reminding me, I’m going to go do that now!” and,“I hadn’t realized that was your preference, thank you for letting me know!” or,“that’s a good thing to point out I’m glad you’re being an active participant in your care!” You don’t even have to say you’re wrong half the time you can also just regularly tell people they’re right.

I’m aware. I’m telling you someone told me in other parts of the world the solution is letting wild animals eat them.

you said what I was going to but much better

Yeah I worked with criminally insane men for two years before moving on to normal acute psychiatry. For the most part they’re just sad and petty. There was only one that ever truly gave me the heebie jeebies and one after in regular acute. In both cases though I did not know what they had done until later; in the moment there was just this instant visceral NOPE feeling.

The wildest part to me was the international / immigrant nurse who was shocked that in the US we care enough about the mentally ill to bother putting them in prison. She was like “back home if they don’t have family that’s willing to take care of them we just physically throw and/or kick them out of the city and let them wander off and die.” Like I’m horrified by the US prison industrial complex but that was a whole new level of unhinged that I didn’t even know existed.

No it would be one of the several socially inappropriate nicknames patients have given me and which I will not be repeating here due to the extent that they correlate with my many physical deformities and are thus personally identifiable.

The Well Field System

I’m really proud of the 10 round call and gimp response that resulted in my profile pic. Recently got a loving shout out in another comment when I brought up my delight in biting dicks (TLDR; increased sensitivity and emotional intensity).

Ever since nursing school when I wake up in that post-REM haze my brain goes “reposition: right-side-lying to supine” then two hours later “reposition: supine to left side lying” then two hours after that down into prone. I’m like a lil half-conscious rotisserie chicken…

My daytime sleep schedule has hubs and I in a temporal bedroom divorce and he very much prefers things that way. Sometimes on the rare occasion that I have to sleep at night he storms off to the couch in a huff.

I mentioned it and hubs immediately went on an unhinged rant about something called rationalism, “a snowcrash style ocean flotilla cult,” and his trust fund friend who hates homeless people (in his defense he did get stabbed but I can also hear him in my head saying the kind of dumbass thing that would get him stabbed). I’m still lost so I’m just going to keep trying to finish Interesting Times by Terry Prachett which I got for $1 as a paperback at my library’s used book sale last fall.

Depends on how relaxed I am, similar to a deep tissue massage. Hubs has a Goldilocks dick it’s juuust big enough to stretch me out if I’m craving it, otherwise like you said I just position myself to not let him that deep. Incidentally, he’s the same way.

I rotisserie chicken when I’m actually washing myself (and take down there hose to wash my genitals) but if I’m taking a hot shower to self soothe / emotionally regulate I face away.
