I'm sorry because I love the idea of this community and I want to contribute more to it bit things have been super hard lately. I did get a new hamster a while back though and I'm so glad he's settled in well :)
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.
To be completely honest I sought out a Lemmy frontend specifically because I wanted to tag you lol
Oh no I love your posts! Whatever your reasons, I hope you feel better and can come back to be silly
This is deadnettle that I used to cook with along with onion grass and wild garlic in college!
I also found a chestnut tree in the woods at college and it was so fun roasting them :)
This is early in its life cycle but young garlic mustard (terribly invasive where I live) is also decent as seasoning.
Another young plant that's only really good to eat when young is fiddlehead ferns! Specifically ostrich ferns are the best to eat around here and I blanch them, then sautee like asparagus!
One of my favorite foods that I've foraged is a kind of jelly mushroom! I'll post pics of it growing and then after my partner and I prepared them.
This one doesn't look like a plant but it is! Ghostpipe doesn't have chlorophyll because it's parasitic and actually feeds off the roots of other plants. They're fragile enough that touching them is often enough for them to die. I do know some people use them medicinally in tinctures but I don't know anything proving or disproving that.
I have a lot more but these are my faves and this post is already so long lol
Foraging makes me happy and wineberry season is my favorite. I'm gonna put some more images in the body!
I think OP was just doing a funny! It's a cartography joke community.
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.
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.
I'm not sure about the founding fathers, but isn't that exactly why the pilgrims came to North America?
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)
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 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
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!
