I'm from NZ. I was very surprised to learn that our gun laws were quite lax up until the relatively recent mosque shooting in Christchurch - the assault-style weapon the shooter used was quite legal, including the special modifications he had made to make it better for killing people.

in the wake of that tragedy, things have gotten a lot stricter, though I'm afraid I can't provide specifics - while I love guns, my collections are confined to the virtual, and I really have no interest in owning one IRL.

op hasn't provided any pictures, they might just be being matter of fact, eschewing false modesty?

I would guess this effect is caused by lowered anxiety, or rather, reduced alertness. I take a medication that includes an adrenal blocker - for my anxiety - and if I miss even a day my dreams go crazy as my body is flooded with levels of adrenaline it's no longer used to.

it's going to be hard to get to 40k if we don't keep counting through the 10s.

my exact experience with tinder. if you're not am absolute stud you get nothing but bots. and girls get overwhelmed with likes from basically every guy in 100km.

my partner of more than 4 years is sitting across the room from me, in the house we jointly rent and share with two small furry creatures.

She's from Brazil, I'm NZ. We met on OKC and she flew over to meet me late 2019, then after border restrictions had eased she moved over to be with me around the same time in 2022. just slightly less than 3 years long distance.

he's not really one to talk... but he's also, unfortunately, not wrong.

paradoxically, by being more hostile.

just, specifically, become overwhelmingly hostile to the people presently making the world a (more) hostile place.

"i love my pet so much, I want them to be with me forever, bereft of everything I loved about them"

I've never understood taxidermy. I keep some pictures of one of my dead cats in the wall/as a wallpaper on my phone, and it still is sometimes upsetting to see him and remember that he's gone.
