OP never mentioned men. Bit of a slip on your part.

There's a certain type of guy that wants a cybertruck. Most women would want to avoid that type of guy, and certainly wouldn't want to accidentally procreate with them. So the cybertruck is the ultimate cock block for the good of all humankind.

It's so hard to say because the allergy has been present my whole life - many exposures. The same thing goes for the taste of peanuts/peanut butter - I couldn't actually describe how it tastes because I'm about 30s from throwing up.

The new suburbs where I am are cat containment areas so that's something. But I'm in an older suburb. Where all the wildlife is quite established. And I keep finding lizards and parrots ripped apart. My home cameras pick up the cats that visit all night.

My responses to him are always prefaced with a big sigh. Because whatever I'm about to tell him is negative. And he often concludes with 'so how can you care about this/why do you give a shit if it's pointless' and I'm finding it harder and harder to answer that question.

Ignorance truly is bliss

In Australia I can't tell you how frustrating this is. People are so fucking selfish.

My partner lacked political engagement until his 30s for reasons so he occasionally has these hot takes. But he expresses them to me and I do feel bad because he's not coming at it from an arrogant perspective. It's ignorance, some naivete and also exasperation at a whole lot of shit things.

I have to gently explain to him why XYZ isn't that simple or black and white, or why his idea doesn't work - and the answer to that, 9 times out of 10, is 'because money/rich people/greed/lobbyists/nimbyism'.

I'm just slowly chipping away at his innocence and it feels bad.
