Dang she's hot. Anyone know who she is or if there's anything else if hers out there in the Internet?

In my experience, such labels tend to exist solely for the use by people who don't need to know. I think a lot of the talk about 'gay-bi-straight' has a lot of similarities to other conversations, like music genre.

As a musician, as a teenager my friends and I used to have long conversations trying to figure out what genre a band is. Is Alice in Chains "metal", for example? Does grunge count as a sub-genre of metal or is it separate? Because Alice in Chains certainly flirts with metal a lot, but not all grunge bands do that... And then we get into all the subgenres with words like "core" and "post" tackled on seemingly at random. As I got older I listened to more music, read interviews with artists, and wrote more of my own music. I realized my best music was written without any thought given to genre at all as a writer, and usually blurred the lines between genres. I noticed how some bands change genre completely- either gradually over decades, or from album to album, song to song, or even within songs. The conversation about genre was really more relevant to the people trying to market and sell music than the actual artists.

The human brain is designed to find patterns and associations. To take the hundreds or thousands of independent variables it is exposed to and forget connections between them and sort results into broad, and often imperfect, categories.

I view sex as similar. Is pegging gay? Are femboys gay? Are muscle mommy's gay? Is a MMF threesome gay? I think the real question is "why do you care?". If you're filling out a profile on a dating site, identifying as straight, gay, or bi will probably help you to get better results, especially if you happen to fall within those categories nearly. It helps to organize porn catalogues too. But for understanding yourself and your partners, I think it is important to look beyond those broad classifications to the multitude of little variables of what someone does or does not like. If you don't intend to have sex with someone, your sexual preferences are none of their business.

And even those variables are not necessarily boolean ones. For example, I've been with women who love anal, women who like having their butthole played with a bit but not penetrated, and women who don't want any stimulation anywhere near that.

Personally, I've always identified as straight. A few years ago I started to explore prostate stimulation with my wife- first fingering, then pegging, then massagers and eventually a fuck machine. My wife has always been bi and we had a 3some with her bi-curious female friend a while back. We also had a few other close encounters where we almost had 3somes with other women too.

About a year and a half ago we made friends with another couple- a fully bisexual man with a lot of experience with men, and a bi-curious non-binary vagina owner with almost no experience with women. A few months ago they asked if we wanted to swing. We had some preliminary conversations about it and discussed man-on-man activity, and I said "I'm not vegan and I would never seek out vegan food on my own, but if I'm hanging out with my vegan friends and there are vegan snacks I'll eat them and try to enjoy them".

So yeah I've been messing around with a guy a bit for the past few months. Making out, oral both ways, fingering both ways, using toys. We eventually plan on doing anal both ways but there's a lot of logistics to that (he's also been dealing with ED, and we all had the flu for a bit).

It's all been... Fine. I think I can safely say I am far more attracted to feminine traits than masculine ones. It's fun to have something to do while watching our spouses together. But I have not gotten close to cumming with him and occasionally have had difficulty staying hard... Until one of our spouses comes over and starts touching me. Sometimes we will also watch TV or a movie and the 3 of them will start talking about how hot a male actor is and I just can't relate.

So weird though it may be, in spite of the fact that I'm regularly having sex with another man I still identify as straight.

Honestly I'm not familiar with the histories of other major American car companies but would it really be all that surprising if we found more?

If anyone is interested in the particular artist this AI is referencing, his name is Jeffrey Smith.

Most of these positions do not require a college degree. They don't need RN's- a lot of these positions can be filled by high school kids. My wife and a lot of our friends in high school and college worked these jobs. My neighbor did in-home care for decades with no degree and recently chose to retire early because the pay wasn't worth staying and she makes more money buying and selling antiques at conventions now.

How many other qualified people have been forced out of the industry due to low wages?

Your comments on Biden seem to indicate You're either uninformed or purposefully spreading political misinformation. A quick internet search will tell you the Biden administration has forgiven $153 billion in student loans. It would be more if the Supreme Court hasn't shut down his broader cancellation measures last year.

Is he doing everything he can? Well I've seen tons of proposals for other measures to cap the tuition costs or change federal lending, but afaik just about everything would require a bill to be passed by Congress. This may shock you, but Biden can to vote in either the House of Representatives or the Senate so you need to find your own representatives, find their stances, and write to them about this (or anything else you care about).

Unless you have some other proposal I haven't heard of for executive action that could survive the supreme court?

I would not recommend getting too attached to NSFW Reddit. They're trying to have an IPO next year and clearly have a history of making decisions that affect their bottom line.

Most advertisers don't want to be associated with NSFW. Reddit is caught between their users, who clearly want it, and the $. The problem is that without the NSFW users, there's a whole lot less people to advertise to.

Maybe NSFW survives the IPO, but it seems to me like just a matter of time before control of the company falls to someone who removes it.

It seems like a lot of your issues are specific to this instance. There are other NSFW instances you can try too. Honestly you're probably best off using a few.
