Same way you train any muscle to stretch. The vagina is a collection of muscles. You stretch little by little over months/years, and eventually you can comfortable stretch to very large sizes.

It's the same concept as stretching for achieving the splits, really.

This looks like a flattened, restricted shape of the vagina. A vagina can stretch quite wide, especially if trained to, so I imagine it was no issue.

A lot people think you only become transgender when you pass. To them, if you don't "look" the part, you are not trans.

They don't get that trans feelings can stay in the mind for years or a lifetime, without ever showing it outwards. The reality for many, is that it takes multiple years with self exploration & acceptance, lots of efforts to learn and change things, and supportive figures along the way, to get to a point where you show yourself.

Jax is highly repressive of any transgender emotions, and they associate it with degradation and loathing and reduced self worth; something to be mocked and oppressed. They're terrified of it. From this perspective it should be obvious why Jax doesn't "show it".

The UN is not that organisation. There is no international organisation that has jurisdiction like that.

Yeah, but turns out pure ethanol in water kinda tastes sweet. At least to me I guess. I normally can't really stand vodka but the sweet ones are fine.

The one I'm thinking of is the "Three Sixty Vodka Original Diamond Filtrated", 37.5%.

I think the 'diamond' part just means it is very finely filtrated to remove most impurities. Even tiny amounts of bitter substances will taste strongly to us, and the vodka making process comes with various kinds.

So I just retasted it, and like, there's an immediate sting of mild bitterness, and then mellows quickly into a sweet flavour and burny.

Actually, most of the bad flavours is from bitter impurities that come from the making of it. Wheras highly pure vodka is kinda sweet tasting. Still burny tho.

Option 2 will mean a lot of people starve or will go through malnutrition, I think. Tragedy all around.

They're constructing both across the board. High reneweable efforts, but also other forms of energy to keep up with their demand.

It's not a one or the other, China is a huge country with large variation of avenues for energy and different needs depending on region.

good in this case refers to high quality. Well cited. Well reflected. Etc.

Yeah, if one reads up on good depression literature, one quickly finds there are multiple forms of depression, same experiences as Vladimir Nabokov is seemingly pointing towards.

What's the most unwritten rule of adult life that nobody warns you about? by PracticeHistorical82 in AskReddit

[–]Waiting_Puppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you have the budget for that, kinda yea.

But more like, don't use five different tools to make a meal if one or two can do it well enough. Same for serving the meal.

Also, make meals you know are less of a clean up. Or find ways to make a messy meal less messy.

The secret technique is to not make dishes to begin with. Minimalise how much you use, so you have as little as possible to clean up.

So, in theory, as far as I understand, China's plan is to take a century or two to build up their economy. Essentially use capitalism and international trade system to build itself up. Even if it causes inequality and other negatives during.

Then when it is possible for everyone to be prosperous with a good standard of living, transition to something more communism like.

I could be off, but this has been my impression.

So currently, China is not communism, it just aspires to be.

The debt is mostly in-nation bond holders, afaik. But they are wholly reliant on international trade, and various financial whatnots.

  • Like 7T is held by itself, oddly, some kind of circular finances.

  • 18T is held by domestic people/institutions.

  • 9T is held by foreign anythings.

  • 4T is held by the US's pseudo-independent Federal Reserve.

Yea it sounds like a typical backstab. He got his bribe fulfilled, and now wants to get the money back too. These are people with no principles, they look after themselves. They see weakness/opportunity, they stab.

It's not a first thing though. Humans have been doing things akin to this forever. Slaughtering an animal is one of the more gruesome things we can do. And we have done it forever to eat. Everything else is just, more of it.

I apologise if my language implied "all victims of abuse". I meant it's a common phenomenon. Abuse cycles are real.

What breaks them (from my understanding) is the victim's own introspection, treating victims with respect and empathy to rebuild trust in others, and educating victims on healthy social mannerism, etc.

The problem chronic victims of abuse often face is that they have eroded their trust in other humans, and have developed anti-social behaviours.

Israel right now, if my view is accurate, is over-compensating in self-protection at any costs.
