Sieben Vereinigte Niederlande?? Wieso so viele??? Reicht euch nicht ein einziges?

But why would I use third-person pronouns when interacting with you?

I think we’re referring to different words. Look at the text in the back (which is apparently called “blurb”) - the p is not closed and if it were closed, it would be way too “big”.

You are right about the x having become a k on the front though, I didn’t spot that.

That doesn’t explain the wonky looking p in the word “exploring” though.

Also I’m fairly certain you live in Germany which means it’s 4 am when you replied. Go to sleep!

AI slop? The text looks a bit wonky and the ISBN is invalid. It’s either 978-0220331132 or 978-0220331432, I can’t really tell but neither is valid. Besides, the last digit looks like it’s about to fall off.

But still, the book’s physical condition itself looks realistic. Look at the bottom left corner or the spine for example, there are lots of tiny defects a real book would have. So the image and therefore the cover must both be real.

Yet look at the ridges on the spine! You can’t (easily) achieve this with regular printing paper. It has to be a real paper book cover. But there’s no way anyone would AI generate the fucking ISBN bar code and sell it like this, is there? After all, I can’t see any pages either though which indicates the cover is standalone.

I’m confused.

I’m not really relevant to your interaction but I thought it was a little cute. Not tactful, but the spirit was there.

If I wanted to write a similar message like yours, I’d probably have done it like this:

Let’s say I were to call you a “bitch”. What would your purely hypothetical response be? 🥺

That’s:

• less direct
• playful (“If I were to insult you” is a very fun way to tease AND pretend to be an innocent little angel)
• probing the water to see if they’re interested

At least in my opinion. I’m terrible at flirting though so you may want to evaluate this yourself.

That’s about as lewd as writing a song titled “Fuck off” tbh

Especially when referring to the person dominating you, that’s bound to result in some fun >:3

So does every number:

6.000000…

Quoting, parodies etc. is explicitly regulated and very tightly regulated. I can only speak for Germany here, other EU countries have different laws but I know they tend to be on the strict side as well.

For example, parodies must explicitly comment on the original work to be permitted. Modifying the lyrics in a funny way alone is not enough to be a parody.

Same with quotes: They are only permitted if they serve a scientific, informative or analytical purpose. Quotes for illustration purposes or entertainment are explicitly not permitted.

In 2021, “pastiches” were legalized which allows for some entertainment use of derivative copyrighted works but there is no legal precedent yet that defines their scope.

Fair use is a US-only concept. Western EU countries tend to have much stricter copyright laws.

Balls objectively suck, way too sensitive things. Also testicular torsion is a thing.

But urinary tract infection prevention tubes are fucking awesome! Like I’ve heard women (or unpenised individuals more broadly speaking) can get them from sitting on a cold surface for too long??? That’s so awful, I’d be WAY too unfit to stand around an hour for my delayed train in winter.

Aren’t all gloves unisex? What would even be the difference? I guess size but that feels a bit artificial considering there is a lot of overlap.

Doesn’t seem like you’ll get a master degree anytime soon.

Fucking category theorists thinking they’re doing “math” when it’s clearly cocaine.

The only question is: What is a caine?

Both pics are magnetic implants, the first is used on the only other language article:

Biohacker Mrln implants a commercially available biomagnet

Based on the other images, the side of your hand seems to be a popular location for magnets too:

Also, the latter image is probably the result of the first operation image (in my other comment) because the subtitle says:

Multiple subdermal magnets implanted by bioacker Mrln [sic]

But what is a little weird is that the magnet seems to be on the “wrong” side. I think the first operation image is just misleading.

Edit:

The upper image (in this comment) is also by Mrln. Apparently they installed a lot of magnets.

Ah, alright then. I only really found this thread so I didn’t know this has happened multiple times.

I can’t really help you with managing your anxiety, but I do have one piece of unsolicited advice: Since you are likely more sensitive with regards to your trauma (I mean, it’s somewhat impossible not to be), you could try to limit talking about it to safe® spaces, like queer communities or instances, in either of which you are less likely to be hurt/rejected.

But regardless, it should be pretty apparent by now that sexual trauma can affect sexuality in various ways. Like, I recall hearing of bisexual people who were sexually abused and lost parts of their attraction to their abuser’s gender. That should be fairly intuitive to most, it’s disappointing that people don’t treat your case the same.

I took the liberty to look through your comments (because I am surprised this could happen here). Are you referring to this comment (thread) here: https://lemmy.world/comment/22163882

If so and if you’re in a good mood/healthy headspace, take a moment to re-read it again.

Now, I can’t see what the person responded to exactly but to me they seemed genuinely respectful and polite. I’d perhaps strike out the word “effectively” but else wouldn’t really change a thing in that comment. I don’t think they intended to reject you, or worse, take away your identity, at all.

Also, if I had to guess: Most downvotes of the original comment probably came not from people who denied your identity but people who thought your comment seemed rude/too negative.

As a last thing: I suggest turning off (the visibility of) downvotes in your Lemmy client. I think most of them have such a setting somewhere. It’s not really worth having them activated if they can cause such strong distress (nor do I believe anyone would want you to feel this way if they downvote you).

By the way, this comment is not meant to reject/invalidate you either. It’s only my personal view and it might be partially or fully wrong - which is why I used phrasing like “probably”, “seem”, “I think”, and “I believe” to convey subjectivity.

There’s enough people surgically implanting small magnets into their fingertips for a surprisingly detailed Wikipedia article to be a thing:

Also some interesting, mostly¹ SFW but not for the faint of heart, images of the DIY surgery:

¹ meaning you will probably not get in trouble in most companies, there’s a little blood and that’s it
