Jung’s work is too derivative. If you want to be taken seriously, coach it in terms of Freud’s theories.

even if this specific example were, the law of large numbers means there’s a very high likelihood that at least one person really holds this attitude.

it took me a long time to realise that just because it has the word liberty (almost) in it, doesn’t mean it’s a left-wing idea.

I think you said the unspoken part out loud.

a stainless steel, vacuum sealed French press (coffee plunger), which I bought back in… 2011? i think? when I broke my glass one a week after getting it.

unfortunately, I entirely lack imagination. happily, however, this is not a case where one is needed.

you got the last letter of the C-word right, but it’s one letter too short.

some republicans are good people not awful to literally everyone

some republicans are good people in the same way some cops are good cops.

I definitely have BO, but I can’t smell my own, typically. however, I also just don’t find the smell of sweat/BO particularly offensive.

I’ve started using not an antiperspirant, but a substance that acts like a deodorant, because my partner is VERY sensitive to smells and mine apparently sets her off pretty badly.

but expecting people - not just many people, but a lot, an enormous number, at least a majority if not an overwhelming majorly - to spontaneous commit to a coordinated action despite widely differing philosophies, politics and life circumstances, is like expecting dissolved sugar to spontaneously re-crystallise back into a cube at the bottom of your cup.

plausible paths to change require organisation, and there are not very many examples of successful organisation that aren’t led from the top.

my partner felt much the same way you do - she had never had a boyfriend before we got together, when she was 28.

we met through a dating site - OKCupid - don’t know if that makes a difference to you.

if you’re bad enough at it, they’ll only need your services once!

buying hobby supplies is a separate hobby than actually using them.

hmmm, any tips on making money from it?

I’m a hobbyist gardener - or, rather, plant enthusiast - but even if I know that the plants themselves might be considered valuable, the scale I’d have to engage in it to make it capable of supporting me in its own is… daunting, to say the least.

what was the original image text?

I’m from NZ. I was very surprised to learn that our gun laws were quite lax up until the relatively recent mosque shooting in Christchurch - the assault-style weapon the shooter used was quite legal, including the special modifications he had made to make it better for killing people.

in the wake of that tragedy, things have gotten a lot stricter, though I’m afraid I can’t provide specifics - while I love guns, my collections are confined to the virtual, and I really have no interest in owning one IRL.

op hasn’t provided any pictures, they might just be being matter of fact, eschewing false modesty?

drastic social reform.

… just like everywhere else.

“i love my pet so much, I want them to be with me forever, bereft of everything I loved about them”

I’ve never understood taxidermy. I keep some pictures of one of my dead cats in the wall/as a wallpaper on my phone, and it still is sometimes upsetting to see him and remember that he’s gone.
