You won't like me when I'm angry. But I always check my facts first.
I'm The Credible Hulk.

On this I must be slightly closer to baseline. I welcome touch, but only from people I know well and trust. That's a very small list. With people I don't know, I can endure it, for a short time. With people I know but don't trust, it's torture.
Most people don't, if that's what you're asking.
You're picturing something more visceral?

I get what you're saying, but when I went from walking 5 miles a day, for exercise, to using a walker. It was a shock to my system. I was never more relieved than the day my doctor told me I didn't need to use it anymore.
@ScottSoCal Yes, me too, but I guess intolerance is intolerance regardless of if you're trying to expose sickness and evil. Like I said in a post, I was forced to delete. Words are only as powerful as the reader makes them. If you go through life thinking you're not going to be offended by something, sometime, somewhere, and cry about it. You don't deserve to live in a free world.
For the record, I'm intolerant of Republicans, fascism, Nazis, and religion.
All the things that actively work to make life more difficult or impossible, I'm intolerant of it.
Ok folks.... I've received a warning from the c.im moderator. Someone is reporting me saying i'm intolerant of religion. I appealed the warning, but should I be banned, oh well.... it's happened so many times, I really don't care. If I'm upsetting somebody's pet fantasy, I guess I should be banned. Mastodon must remain safe from dangerous people like me...
If you have to triage your support, you support the most at-risk first. Right now that's trans people.
Iβm pretty much done playing nice with so called progressive groups who are willing to throw trans kids under the bus just so they can go back to their funders and say they βpassed the bill to protect the children.β https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjv3qp/congress-is-pushing-an-online-safety-bill-supported-by-anti-lgbtq-groups
I carry canvas grocery bags in my trunk, and reusable metal straws in my backpack. It's not hard to do.
The smartass who lives in my head answered: "I used to, but then I started jogging. Now I have a svelte gut."
Ticklish is a state of mind, for me. In the right setting, with the right person, I'm very ticklish. When I'm feeling guarded (most of the time) I'm not ticklish.

Twelve random John & Jane Doe's, selected by the defense and the prosecution, from a jury pool at each of the four locations in which Trump has been charged (GA, DC, NY, FL) will judge Trump's guilt or innocence.
America is a democracy 'OF THE PEOPLE' and it is the 'PEOPLE' that will hold Trump accountable for his actions!

I run a room air conditioner year-round, so I can sleep with a heavy quilt on my bed.
I installed solar partly so I don't feel guilty about running an air conditioner year-round.
On the flip side, I get more weirded out by those impossible drawings. This one, of an impossible set of stairs, can make my eyes cross if I look at it too long, or study it too hard.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
