I'm not sure about the founding fathers, but isn't that exactly why the pilgrims came to North America?

Wild fortune cookie

I feel morally obligated to say that I have a t-shirt with this on it and it scored me my boyfriend of over five years that I fully intend to spend the rest of my life with

Oh no I love your posts! Whatever your reasons, I hope you feel better and can come back to be silly

I feel like downvotes kinda make sense given that they said group has a lot of parents/children and siblings. I don't even know if this is bait or not.

Not legal children, I meant children of other members of the community. Not overt pedophilia, just weird bordering incest that I understand people being averse to.

They say they aren't letting blood relatives have sex but I would still feel odd belonging to a relationship with my dad and sister where everyone is having sex with all of us.

For me it's happened twice overtly and I suspect once that didn't become an explicit request. I'm vocally monogamous, I'm not very social, and I'm still kinda young so I feel like those numbers are pretty high. For me I feel like it's how I present myself and act, which is pretty stereotypically "queer." Once that gets picked up on by other couples I think they seem more interested.

I think OP was just doing a funny! It's a cartography joke community.

It's one of those things that doesn't hurt anyone. If you're not completely sure they're into it, follow them whenever they leave. A lot of times they try to pick up pace but that's cuz they're excited to lead you home so make sure you speed up too! (Genuinely terrified of anyone taking this seriously so just a little disclaimer)

To be completely honest I sought out a Lemmy frontend specifically because I wanted to tag you lol

I'm not aware of that being a prominent theory honestly. I thought the most popular theory was actually that HIV exists because of the hunting and butchering of simians with SIV

I don't understand what I'm looking for lol

I got mine off of redbubble. I couldn't find the original artist at the time, so it was probably stolen art to be completely honest. Maybe you could reverse image search and find it? That was something I didn't know how to do at the time.

As for finding a partner who appreciates it, I think the best thing to do is go up to anyone of your preferred gender or presentation and say seductive phrases such as "let's see that smile" or "where's my hug?"

I'm not super well read on this kind of thing but the idea interests me a lot! Can I ask you to explain the concerning effects of small, insular communities and gift economies? I'm not even certain what a gift economy is to be honest!

Seconded for this. I actually bonded with my partner over our intense idolization of Steve Irwin as kids lol

That's so cool! What are they made of and how do you make them?

That's a really weird dig I think it's impressive nail polish

Looks like a plume moth to me! I think they're goofy and look like IUDs

That's kinda odd I was genuinely going to defend the person you're talking to but I noticed their double whammy Apu/Crusader profile pic and saw they made a community for family values, generational wealth, and doomsday prepping. I don't even know what to think of them it's wild
