one of the things I heard to learn in my late teens was when a woman was genuinely interesting and when she just had a nice body.
Is Sydney Sweeney that good of an actress for this kind of commotion?

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity
Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.
It aids fascism.

I love old architecture cause I grew up in a place that had a neighborhood of stately homes.
My 2nd favorite part of those neighborhoods is that one new built house some equally rich asshole decided to terrorize their neighbors with. I hate the ugly new houses too but we're building CHARACTER.

Seek to understand intimacy without sex.
Start with some vulnerability (with a partner) and work from there.
