Making a link between zoophilia and sexual relationships with a queer person, how original!

Making a link between zoophilia and sexual relationships with a queer person, how original!
I’m a vegetarian, and the answer is no. I find the idea of vat-grown meat disgusting, like something out of a bio-mechanical nightmare.
It’s much worse to learn development while being lazy about commenting. Or adding them all just before sending your source code to the teacher.
Too soon.
I’m still knocked out by the results.
It wouldn’t be a problem. I’m bi, and when I’m in love, it’s not a question of gender expression or body.
About the multiplication of bacteria in a moist area, how do you handle that in your mouth ? Surgery or personal hygiene?
There are many reasons for secrecy.
Showing that you know how to keep a secret shows that you’re trustworthy.
There are also certain rites of passage that are more striking if you don’t know what to expect (but it’s always benevolent).
Also, as it’s a place where speech is totally free, it makes it easier to open up. For example, if we’re having a discussion about LGBTQIA+ rights, I can share my experiences as a bi person to enrich the discussion, and I don’t have to worry about being outed.
Finally, in Europe, the memory of Nazi persecution is still vivid, and today’s far right hates us too. Secrecy, or at least discretion, is a protection.
But I have to admit that it raises suspicions and feeds conspiracy theories. So secrecy has its downside
To tell the truth, it’s a complex question, like “why are there no female Christian priests”. Christianity is a wide thing, with lots of subdivisions. So is freemasonry.
Why no woman ? There are historical reasons: a founding text (Anderson’s Constitution) states that to be a Freemason, you have to be a free man. There are also old initiation rituals (a bit like a Masonic baptism) where the person is bare-chested. For traditionalists, this forever excludes women. This is particularly the case in the Anglo-Saxon world. Traditinnalists also often exclude atheists, LGBTQIA+ people, etc.
But worldwide, there are also progressive lodges, mixed or even feminine (which accept male visitors, but do not initiate men). I live in Europe, and in my loge we are about 10 men and 20 women. Lots of us are social workers, teachers, nurses or public servants. Lots of us are atheists or agnostics. Some of us are gay, lesbian or bi.
About what we do, one more time: it depends. The main idea is to have philosophical questionings, based on ritual and symbolism (A bit like a religious person who uses a holy text to nourish their philosophical reflections). All lodges also have charities, because the aim of Freemasonry is to improve oneself in the hope of making the world a better place.
But some progressive lodges (like mine) go further and are places for reflection on society, in a place where everyone can share their point of view without being cut off (this is an absolute rule) and without judgment.
In these lodges, all kinds of issues of social progress are discussed, including feminist issues. But also topics like the defense of democracy, the right to a dignified end of life, the impact of AI on the job market, ecology, the rise of the far right, and so on.
In men’s lodges (I sometimes go as a visitor), even the progressive ones, there’s very little talk of women in my experience. Except at communal meals, where you can hear the same mysogynistic remarks as in any all-male group (ewww, imho)
You’re confusing alliance with codependence.
Wood-fired pizza ?
For God sake, be consistent. It’s either int*, int**, void*
or int *, int **, void *
Microplastics are midi-chlorian without the Force. They connect us to all that lives.
I have friends who are engineers and whose job is to turn theoretical research into applied projects to find research grants for their team.
It could be a research grant.
Oh yes. Particularly when they have kawaii tattoos and necklaces.
A small cup of fast-setting plaster should suffice. Less effort, less noise.
If you like kissing, there’s something similar about giving a blowjob. The lips are an erogenous zone and it’s kind of the same soft sensation.
But if you insist on your comparison, capitalism is like forced deep-throating: cumming by making someone else vomit.
Not officially.
But on the discord server of one of the anti-trans groups behind the proposed law, discussions are talking about banning minors as a first step.
Banned for minors.
For now, in France, minors can have puberty blockers, hormones, and breast surgery (it’s quite rare, needs parental consent, and the process is so long that the surgery usually happens after 18).
I say “for now” because many of us fear that the ban will be extended to adults sooner or later. Transidentity is the new moral panic in France, and the far right is getting dangerously close to power.
He thinks he’s a genius. In his own words, this early election was a grenade thrown into the legs of his opponents.
It was supposed to fracture the left, traditionally unable to agree on a common program. And it was supposed to kill the right, which is struggling to find political space between his party (authoritarian center-right) and the far right.
He thought that only his party would have the time to organize itself to campaign and present itself as the savior against the far right, which would have restored his legitimacy, which had just been called into question by the European elections.
