This is hilarious, you have a gift with words!

Thank you for the context! I never knew about the land of Samaria. We really have been labelling anyone outside our tribe as "degenerates" for as long as we have recorded history haven't we...

I actually have a real, studied, easy thing you can try!

I found out by accident because I was taking b vitamins daily and started taking them at night, and noticed I was suddenly having very vivid dreams.

So much so that I googled it and it turns out that taking b6 before bed can cause vivid dreams and dream recall!

Here's a study, there are a few.

In osrs there is a PvP mini game "soul wars" that I love playing absolutely incorrectly.

I follow teammates around and rapidly use kits on them to heal them, use weapon specs to stun whoever they're fighting, that kind of thing. I don't usually try to attack anyone.

While osrs does have some healing mechanics and spells, almost no one uses them, which I find really sad.

I'm fact, in soul wars they actually blocked the healing spells from working at all, a fact I learnt only after getting level 94 to cast them.

After all these years, no one had ever tried I guess, I had to have a friend edit the wiki so no one else would be surprised.

Anyway, a friend looked me up and apparently I was pretty high in the high scores for someone who doesn't kill anyone.

Ah yes, the Gympie Gympie tree. It is truly horrible.

It is the most horrible tree in the world, people have been known to commit suicide the sting is so bad.

Not only that but it stings for months or years and the trichromes stay in the skin and release the toxin whenever triggering events happen, such as touching the affected skin, contact with water, or temperature changes.

For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn't work or sleep... I remember it feeling like there were giant hands trying to squash my chest... then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower...There's nothing to rival it; it's ten times worse than anything else.

Yeah that's what's so shocking about it, these bags would be $5 only a few years ago. And I remember how painfully impoverished large swaths of the country were then.

I cannot imagine how the average American in the Midwest is surviving at the moment.

It's happening here in Australia too. I'm watching the slow rise after being lucky enough to escape the US.

I wrote about my experience going to a racist rally a month or so ago with my husband and children.

It was supposed to be peaceful and I wouldn't have expected to be putting my kids in danger.

Horrible.

WHAT??!

This, for the person doing the binding, there should be constant focus and attention as binding in the wrong way can cause nerve damage.

It's... Less sexy and more... Satisfaction with creating art, especially of turning your property (sub) into art - amplifying their objectification.

This type of bondage is called shibari, and it's different in the way you described. Regular bondage is about restricted movement, maybe cuffs or topless around wrists and ankles.

Shibari is a Japanese form of rope bondage, it is a very slow and methodical approach, where the person being bound must (generally) submit quietly the whole time it's being done.

The aesthetics of the binding are important, it should look good, and also should work with the mechanics of the body.

It can be used as a pleasant and beautiful decoration on top of clothing, as here, or can use the mechanics of the body to bind in such a way that the body's own movements cause stress.

I see DarkAri has deleted their comment, but I think it's important that everyone can see what was written.

This is the kind of unhinged nonsense we are up against. Accusations and ramblings that aren't even relevant to my comment.

The mass immigration has been by far the strongest reason that right wing politics became so popular. Dont delude yourself. The left fucked up. It's not right to force half the country to tolerate mass immigration just because you think you are smarter then them. That is the shit that ruined democracy. Most democratic things are not about what is right or wrong. If another citizen doesn't want to have a million Indians or muslims living in his hometown thats none of your business. It is his right to have a state that represents him so long as he isn't advocating to take away anyone's rights. You are lucky the Republicans are incredibly corrupt and stupid and are doing all the other things that the right hates,like censorship, taking away freedom, stuff like this. Your pathetic state is so desperate to micromanage everyone's lives and monitor them that they just cannot help themselves to not ruin their own position again. The racism is strong, but half of the reason people voted for the right is because they perceived the left as being the side of censorship and mass surveillance and fascism, but they are getting a wakeup call now. Lucky for you their politicians are incredibly stupid and also many people who are actually right wing do have some decent values and character and will reject the Republican politics completely for this bullshit they are trying to pull. Don't ever sell out your fellow citizens to the state and corporations again. We do not need them telling us what we can watch and read, and what we can vote on, we don't need them or you policing our speech. We are free people just like you, not subjects and not slaves. If the leftists can actually learn to take responsibility for their shitty tactics they might actually get power again. The day they stop trying to ignore half the country is the day they will start getting popularity again. After the 2016 election with Hilary it's pretty obvious how extremely corrupt they were, but now people are seeing how much more corrupt the right is. We got lucky this time but if the left doesn't wise up they are going to lose everything for a few decades until right wing politics become lame again.
