It's an almost heretical thought here in the Late Internet Era, but, yes, people should be able to choose to have happily private lives, in which they do what they like with the other people who consent to do it with them. Also, I was very late to learning what the whole pineapple thing was about.
Generally I think we'll all be better off if people keep their horny swinger nudism to themselves in general. All I wanna see is an upside-down pineapple bumper sticker or door decoration, and I'm good with that.

The only viable road to peace in Ukraine.
Any other derivative is just emboldening others to do the same as what Muscovy has been doing at present.
Want a world where peace walks alongside Societies
Then find the protocols to settle disputes without resoeting to Violence.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

There’s a legally binding agreement already in place that purports to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. It was signed after Ukraine gave up its vast nuclear weapons stockpile. One of the guarantors is Russia.

Astonishingly ( except it is very Trumpy) Trump suggests that Ukraine is insufficiently grateful, harking back to the bad old days. Grateful for what? For trying to sell Ukraine and its natural resources to the enemy?
The impertinence.
