@chocolatey775 ~ Your question was a really bizarre thing for me to see here (in a public space)...
Putting the question out there for all to have a split-second (or even longer) wonderment about, when it may never have crossed their minds and ultimately shouldn't matter here (it really it only matters when it matters to either or both who are cuddling if they happen to have private part preferences - even though platonic) I'm just confused about why you'd do it here.
Even if they've selected "Can be: Public" for cuddling, that doesn't mean "Public" for personal Q&A.
If truly a concern, or interest, it seems like a private message about private parts should be posed and discussed in private between those concerned - privately.
[IMO]
@DarrenWalker & @DonLonG ~ May I pretty please put the "Cuted Bat" pic on a shirt for Superhero Wednesday at work? You two are amazing and I really admire your points of view and how you express them. It wouldn't be to direct people here ~ but as way of further opening dialog with co-workers around our implicit biases, challenging us all to increase our use of inclusive language and to calmly approach those who cross the line in a way that treats it as a learning opportunity (this is where I for sure need more work - my amygdala is bit fiery & judgy at times). [🤯🤬/🧠🔥 -> 🌬/🧯 needed!]
Plus it would look sick sweet dope cool good on a shirt! 😉 QL~💓🕊
One of my favourite movie comebacks is from "Aliens".
One of the female marines is exercising, and a male marine asks her, "Have you ever been mistaken for a man ?" "No", she replies. "Have you ?"
@geoff1000: A person's birth certificate pretty much always says either "male" or "female," yeah. One should bear in mind, of course, that sometimes what a person's birth certificate lists is the sex they were assigned after doctors unnecessarily mutilated the kid's genitals in order to make them fit one or the other category... a practice I'm probably never going to stop being angry about.
@sillysassy: Thanks! Hahaha, I try to be concise, but some nights I think my tendency to ramble likes to play keepaway with the succinctness I'm after. It's good to be back!
@quixotic_life: Dang, that's flattering. Yeah, feel free to go nuts with it. I think @DonLonG really captured my dark and sinister cuteness with that particular bit of editing, and I'd have no objection to seeing the thing on a billboard, never mind a shirt (especially around this time of year). I'd kinda like one of those shirts, too! And if you wanted to go with "What, you think demons have gender?" as a response to the possibly inevitable question... well, I'd be super amused.
Months from now people will browse the forums and see this thread thinking to themselves who is this person, why have they so eagerly awaited their return, and didn't they return months ago? Why are people still rejoicing? They must be really important!
@pmvines: Hahaha. That'd be a very flattering conclusion (and so, of course, I like it).
Naturally, though, once they actually click on the thread and see how far afield it's gone, they'll realize: "Ohhh, this isn't a thread about Darren Walker. It was once. But now it's just about site malfunctions and what to do if you receive an erection in the mail while cuddling."
@DarrenWalker Greek mythology tells the story of Procrustes, who offered travellers a bed which was the perfect size for them. Unfortunately, this was achieved by either stretching the guest, or cutting off their limbs.
The famous English mathematician Alan Turing was "made to fit" society, by using chemical castration to suppress his homosexuality. He died in 1954 ( probably by suicide ), was pardoned in 2013, and in 2021 he will appear on the highest-denomination British banknote.
The wheels of justice, sometimes turn very slowly ; and our efforts at reform, sometimes only benefit those who come after us. I'm reminded of those who design space probes, which have such a long voyage that the results will only arrive after they will be retired and likely dead.
@geoff1000: [sigh] Well. Maybe if we stoked the flames of passionate loathing for injustice enough in society, the engine would run faster and the wheels would turn quicker.
At the very least things wouldn't be likely to go any slower.
@DarrenWalker Indeed. As Edmund Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".
Looks like I'm in for another sleepless night dwelling on it. It's 2am local time. ☹️
@DarrenWalker is back, 2DogMom aka @SuperSnuggler2 is back. For our next miracle, we need our resident Necromancer to bring @Catloaf back. Does anyone remember this thing from a year ago?
I also have a bigender niece who does a lot of cosplay and makes her own clothes. I made a thing for her:
Also made a thing for you @quixotic_life
In other words, none of your beeswax.
@DonLonG ~ That is even better than I'd imagined!!!
PS ~ Yes!!! To getting @Catloaf back too! Another lovely being I've yet to converse with! Although I did try... 🙏🌠🤞😸🍞 📲/💻 Wished upon a star and crossing my fingers for CatLoaf to return to us...
@DonLonG ohyesyesyes
@DarrenWalker THIS is why we are glad you are back. hahahhahahhahaha whereby in the same paragraph as BANG.
Weeeell, I kinda figure dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship. So, basically... two people exploring whether they're romantically or sexually compatible. So, you know. Trying to figure out if they like each other enough to wanna bang regularly, basically. That's sort of the whole point of a date, right? Intent isn't exactly hidden here.

@sillysassy: ...Ahahaha. Yeah, I sometimes (okay, often) lose track of which words are out of date and which ones are newer. The results can be amusingly idiosyncratic! Or just plain dumb-looking. Depending on your point of view.
@DonLonG: That shirt. Wow. You're so good at all this techy stuff. I like the way the wings wrap around the back!
@DarrenWalker Madonna poked fun at Kevin Costner, for describing one of her shows as "neat". Years later, when he was choosing the cast for "The Bodyguard", he passed her up in favour of Whitney Houston.
@DarrenWalker you have NO IDEA how much I enjoy reading your posts. ANY and ALL!!! On every single subject there is joy to be found.
I was actually trying to do a forum post search because @DonLonG and I were talking about it. (because he's AMAZING AN BRILLIANT AND A UNICORN AND A GEM!!!!!) but when I went to the second page of (what was supposed to be) your posts it kicked back to MY posts. Probably because I am NOT a techie and I don't really understand how all of the fun computer stuff works to my benefit. hmmmmmm.... Alas.... I am glad you are here and able to create a NEW kind of diversion!!!!! 😍💕😊
