There are 202 proven uses for a dead cat, plus the ones when it's still alive.

If it's so well trodden then share a review or meta-analysis, nobody (or at least not me, doubt anyone else either) will bother to dig out the referenced studies one by one.

Link to those studies, please.

There's a huge difference to just seeing a naked body doing its thing, like sauna, or swim, or relax in the sun, or sleeping, or ill; and the same body as an erotic object

Depends on what kind of relationship you have, which I think in turn tends to depend on the age and the sex of the children, among other things.

A 14-year-old boy, yeah, rather gross, especially if he is uncomfortable or sucks at expressing their affection any other way on other days.

Me, a 40+ year old woman who has a warm relationship with my mom, now with an additional layer of "two old ladies", and a history of dirty jokes: Nah, I hope she got a chuckle out of the pic (I visited a week early, didn't think of making something like this).

Ditto. My partner and I are well into our 40s, mortgage paid off, etc. Childfree. Living in a one-story attached house in a sort of suburbs, 20 minutes to city center by bike or bus. So, not a city apartment, and could have a decent car if we wanted to.

I never even bothered with getting a license, do not want to be responsible for a tonne+ murder machine.

We rent a car twice a year to visit relatives in the countryside, often one or two times more if there's a family event or other need. I take a taxi sometimes to go to the vet. Otherwise it's cycling (very bicycle-friendly city) or public transportation (also well arranged), and train & public transportation for other national travel. Transporting furniture is sometimes a hassle, but how often does one need to do that? Way more carefree and cheaper than owning a car.

That cat is loving it. Bunny well trained.

If the cause for muted celebration persists, for next year I'd suggest reviving International Workers' Day and/or Beltane, possibly with Cinco de Mayo influences. Nothing like solidarity marches, or bonfires, pagan magic and feasting.

Yes, but not like that, not with my mortality, I'm quite ok with that. My constant existential crisis is that I am psychologically unable to live "now" with the irreverence it deserves.

In other words, I'm worried about doing absurdism wrong, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Weird case to make anyway.

The primary language of most non-UK non-Irish Europeans is not English/American/Australian/"International English"/whatever.

Yes, English/American/Australian/"International English"/whatever is the de facto lingua franca.

Would I rather that it was Esperanto or some other easy-for-all-to-learn manufactured language? Yes. Does it really bother me it is what it is? No, I'm just happy we have one.

I've got a few pieces from them, and they really are worth the praise IMHO.

Varusteleka. Alpa for alpaca wool, no zipper, more colourful options, more expensive.

If you went for the extended editions, and included the M4 cut of The Hobbit, you'd surpass Wagner's Ring Cycle in length! 😲

Otherwise, amateurish.
