I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's not true. All you're missing is self-confidence and self-worth. It may not feel like it, but you are worthy of love and validation. Love yourself because you are alive and trying.

It's not easy, especially if you've built up a lot of myths about how you're broken or unlovable. Find the things you like about yourself and go from there. All you have to do is keep trying.

The sensations of sex vary significantly between individuals. I could tell you what my experience of sex is like, but depending on your specific body, it might feel wholly different. The only way you're going to be able to satisfy that curiosity is to engage in the activity yourself.

Don't give up on finding out for yourself if it's important to you. I didn't have sex with someone else until I was 29 and then spent my early 30's making up for lost time.

For me, I was my own worst enemy. I believe that I was unlovable and unattractive (and also had some queer identify related complicating factors). I thought that sex and intimacy were transactional and that in order to find someone interested in having sex with me required me to be a person I was not. The error in my thinking was that sex was a goal, rather than a side effect of building meaningful connections with other humans.

Your mileage may vary though.

Would you like me to edit my comment to say "why do some conspiracy theories...."?

Enlightenment: calling meetings yourself because nothing you do matters and getting paid to listen to assholes talk isn't the worst way to pay rent.

Fake moon landing, aliens built the pyramids why do some conspiracy theories insist on robbing humans of their monumental achievements. My guess is that people who create and share conspiracies like those are too dumb to realize that other people have different knowledge than they do.

Those are some thick, juicy crabby patties.

Protonmail is great, it comes with cloud storage, a really good password manager, and a very fast VPN. The linux experience is mid for their apps, but great on MacOS or Windows.

Americans over the age of 65 represent less than 20% of the population. The group of people 60 to 64 is 6.5% of the population. That's not even a quarter of the population.

As to your question, yes. Even if it was 90% of the population that was 60+. being an elder, senior citizen, a member of the grandparent generation, olds, or whatever you'd like to call them has more to do with the individual's age than how many of them there are.

The average life expectancy for Americans is 79. In the US at least we define "senior citizen" as over 60 (legally and for healthcare), that seems like a reasonable age for elder to start.

It depends on how things go with Threads and BlueSky. If either one were to gain a significant market share of the fediverse they could capture the ActivityPub protocol and add poisonous elements to it and require anyone federating to comply.

Under normal circumstances, a fediverser could switch instances, but that entirely depends on the platform continuing to allow users to export their accounts. Unless servers stop costing money, it's only a matter of time before the fediverse is polluted and fractured.

It's kind of depressing that elder, as defined by uber, is older than most people live to be.
