Yes, and you all understand just how controversial it is to do as well, considering that reintroducing predators is something people are trying on both our continents. Reintroducing wolves to the forests of the eastern united states may happen in my lifetime but is unlikely as the people who live where they would be enjoy hunting for meat and don’t like the idea of having to shoot wolves that get too bold. They’re currently controversially being reintroduced in the West like near Yellowstone. Other predators like cougars also need to be allowed to populate more. Even then though, nothing on this continent but humans is taking down boars. They’re giant and massively invasive, an ecological calamity.

But for the time being, hunters should be switching to lead free shot, and they should continue hunting white tail deer. Target shooters should also be using lead free shot, in general if you don’t want particles of it in your bloodstream don’t shoot with it.

We killed the predators on a lot of our continent. Deer hunting is ecologically necessary here. And thats before we get into the boar problem

Too lazy to fucking wait‽

Man up and grow a pear

Weird. The bi women I’ve dated have all spoken glowingly about certain body parts of men, while my gay ass was just like “good to know”. The one ex found uncircumcised dicks hot as all get out. Another found both twinky guys and hairy masculine guys super hot, but mostly she just loved a good ass no matter who it was on.

As someone who fell prey to someone that way, yep. I try not to be callous, but at a certain point it goes from “you’re part of the problem” and into “you’re incapable of coping with a boring normal situation and so you just cause problems to deal with it”

Yeah it’s vital that agreeing to try something new doesn’t feel unsafe. If the kid doesn’t like it a parent can eat it, it’s fine. And that’s not just for autistic kids, but it is especially for them. Adventurous behavior, especially in children, is associated with it feeling safe to push outside one’s comfort zone. That can mean trying kimchi or it can mean trying the monkey bars. Encouraging adventurous behavior is also good. You want the kid to be comfortable leaving their comfort zone and entering the growth zone. Food is just one element of it.

I’ve had to help autistic adults learn that they can just try new things, fail, and be ok whether it’s setting up a doctor’s appointment, new foods, or new skills. Many people, but especially common in people diagnosed with autism as children, are raised where if something doesn’t go right the first time they’re scolded or punished or fussed over or whatever else discouraging behavior and it results in people who struggle to leave their comfort zones, which is crippling as an adult.

Oh hell yeah, I’d love to do that but my wife doesn’t like when I do mood lighting

Finding nutritious safe foods is vital. People super into weights often eat a pre portioned amount of rice and chicken and all the spinach they want, and my autistic wife enjoyed doing that when she did it. Texture is huge but so is familiarity. For western autistic people safe foods tend to be heavily processed “kid foods”, make sure your kid’s idea of comfort foods isn’t that.

Also encourage him to be brave and try new things with the safety of it not being commitment to the food, and as he’s older talk to him about what he likes and doesn’t about things and check in before trying something new when he’s old enough to. My wife has days where she has the mental energy to try something new, and days where she doesn’t. Additionally if I can describe what it’s like it takes less energy for her to try. And don’t pull the “it’s just like chicken” thing, go more “these fried mushrooms are tender and slimy with a strong umami taste, kind of like soy sauce but not as salty or fermented tasting”

It’s also just easy. My lunch every workday is the same. When I ate meat I’d swap out what kind of lunch meat was on the sandwich, but now it’s a peanut butter sandwich with a piece of fruit. My breakfast is often the same on workdays. My variety comes from dinner and weekends. Is it because the idea of doing this is appealing? No, but I never have to worry that I forgot to pack a lunch or that I chose a breakfast I didn’t have time for.

My wife on the other hand once spent years eating the same thing and considered it a perk of powerlifting, because that woman is autistic af.

Ok, but what hour is it the 50th minute of

We’re channeling Khrushchev

Beans also heal the soil and the soul. And the correct answer is beans with potatoes. Falafel and greek style fries is easily a top tier meal

Corn is wonderful and versatile but at the end of the day my true love is pulses. They can go in everything, they’re nutritious as all hell, and they’re just plain tasty. Bean tacos, bean burgers, falafel, hummus…

What the fuck‽

Disagree. The taste of tomatoes is horrendous until cooked and salted. That said, fried and salted Pico de gallo is one of the absolute best baguette toppings

UN standard actually, but primarily in Europe. The americas largely follow US road marking standards or ones inspired by them. The Aussies and kiwis followed us yanks and canucks.

Ok but height really isn’t enough to make it that. I’ve dated short women who I was attracted to because of how womanly (mature, mom bod) they were. The first specs of gray hair, the sagging of giant tits, the wide hips… Her being short was honestly mostly an inconvenience because I had to bend over pretty far to kiss her.

Then you’ve got folks like my friends who are in the upper half of 6’. Everyone is short to them. They aren’t going to go to tall communities just to find relationships. One is now dating an abnormally tall woman and he’s happy about it.

Sometimes two people just click. I’d be skeptical if someone kept intentionally dating young looking people significantly shorter than them, or if they were into the sort of stuff your words describe that content as. But that content isn’t the majority of relationships with major height differences. The only people getting off on the stuff I’m talking about are greedy chiropractors.

He’s very tall and she’s pretty short, both with regards to average for their gender.

Lol yep. Except it’s weird, I remember the world generally getting worse, but people getting less bad for a lot of my childhood. Around the beginning of my memories every adult in the country lost their goddamn mind and a lot of them got super racist to middle eastern folks. So yeah over the course of the 00s I watched as insane people chilled out and my generation became increasingly chill with people of different skin colors, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. I watched as Obama was elected, homophobia became uncool, and Americans learned to get over themselves and eat a falafel.

Then in college gamergare happened and the one area where things had been improving became a constant battle. So yeah hope faded to anger. I still have hope, but it’s a very different hope than one of my youth
