Christians/Catholics were presented with decades of evidence of systematic child rape and protection by the churches, crimes commited by literally thousands of priests... and did nothing. No mass exodus from the faith, no reform, no nothing. Now you think a little graven imagery/idolatry is going to cause a serious stir? Plleeaaasseeeee.....
They didn't know it when the states were formed, but I think a lot of the modern hesitancy comes from 'the big one' that we now know will certainly occur. I love visiting Newport - but you can't ignore the tsunami safety zone makers and evacuation route signage everywhere you look. There are plenty of houses and tons of space to build, but because these coastal towns are far away from the major hubs, no one is going to commute from there either, imho.
He knows all the angles to shoot from... hell if his snail trail is viscous enough he plays the light just right to make it look like a part of him. He is a god amongst catfishers.
Let’s not pretend like this is a binary ads / no ads concern
It def is though... people, myself included, turn on an adblocker or install pi-hole and set it and forget it. All ads blocked. That's binary. No one is going to a site, turning off the blocker, investigating the quality of the ads (lmfao), then deciding if they want to turn the blocker back on or not - total fiction.
Learning by doing - stop thinking about it and jump in the pool. I can list every boxing technique or give you a book on enterprise patterns for software development, you're not going to read something and be good at it.
I don't want to live like this - I want to be authentic and real - these fuckers will never take that away from me, and they will never get an ounce of my labor either.
Mutual massages, set a timer and do 5min each, try not to get too sexual
30-60 min walks around the neighborhood - way better if the weather is in your favor but a shared walk while mildy high is awesome
Brainstorming - We have great talks about the future, plans for our property, etc
Sharing passion - My wife reads a lot of what I lovingly refer to as modern smut, fayes and werewolfs and weird bonding rituals and kingdoms and all sorts of fantasy stuff, she gets really into describing the latest book she has finished and I enjoy hearing about smut
Gardening - Not everyone has one, I get it, but if you have access to a you-pick-it or the like it's a fun afternoon
Hiking - again, access might be hard but we love a mild challenge with a big view payoff.
Swimming
Edit:
Cooking - so much fun to split up duties in the kitchen, she is usually cranking out a salad while I am working on the main
Wine - ok this is dangerous but if you just limit yourself to sharing one bottle over the course of an entire evening it can be a lot of fun
The "What AI could theoretically perform" column should just be 100% straight down if we are pulling shit out of our asses anyways.
