Well, here's another question then, is cuddling sexual? Most people would say no, though it fits that definition

In addition, for me one of the sexual activities I enjoy the most is basically described as "horny cuddling", but that's also something people have different perceptions of

It's really not as straightforward to define and put down an all-encompassing definition as you might think. Especially when you want to include different people's preferences, experiences, and opinions

A lot of people do

Hell, I've heard plenty people say that oral sex isn't sex

I don't think the person is arguing that, they are saying that it depends on your definition of sexual

On the other hand, do keep in mind that mighty empires have fallen. We cannot say for sure that things will be fine just because in the past the USA has survived

organizing absolutely has. Ever heard of the civil rights movement and the black panthers? And various kinds of organizing similar to that throughout history?

Now, critically, the organizing that worked wasn't exactly.. non-disruptive. It's not enough to just stand with signs yelling at designated government hours, it's about making life hell for those in power, until your demands are met.

Protesting would certainly do something

Just the right type of protests

I can tell you it has been abused against me multiple times on Reddit. I called someone out for something wrong or bigoted they posted and they blocked me after responding, making me unable to respond back. And presumably kept posting stuff in the future that I just didn't see, and wasn't able to call out

It's a terrible system as it just allows abuse by bad faith actors more than anything else

Has happened multiple times to me. I called somebody out for saying something wrong or bigoted or whatever, they blocked me after responding to me, I could no longer respond back to their response. And then presumably they kept saying shit that I was not able to see because I was blocked

It's a short-sighted way of implementing blocking, since it allows for heavy abuse by bad actors

Maybe because reading is a sign of being intelligent/cultured in people's mind, and people on average value that slightly more than physical fitness

It could also be built-up stress or a variety of other disorders, or a culmination of things

The ranking goes as follows

  1. El Salvador
  2. Cuba
  3. Rwanda
  4. Turkmenistan
  5. USA

Notably, all the 4 countries above the US have less than 1/10 the total amount of prisoners that the US does

Probably utility and price?

You gotta emphasize how normal and approachable you are. A true one of the people
