A few select ones would make a massive difference.

Sure but the generation of new hydrocarbons from sequestered resources means net available carbon increases. You're totally right that converting existing atmospheric CO2 to methane would have a larger impact. I'm not saying agriculture is off the hook here, nor that we should consider the horse as a solution to climate change, just that we probably wouldn't need this conversation without fossil fuel extraction.

Cars run on gas, horses run on grass.

Livestock contribute by land use (deforestation, crops for feed, pasture), water consumption, and the fossil fuel used in logistics processes (farm equipment, transport, electricity, etc...)

But anyways, animal farts come from preexisting carbon in the biosphere. Car farts come from extracting previously sequestered carbon. So without extractive processes, and with ethical land use/management, the atmospheric methane wouldn't have a significant impact.

Also you fart too. So there's that...

It can depend on the person so it's a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I'm speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.

Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you're being an incessant little dictator?

Lol took me until my 30's. This is the problem with modern masculinity, we are not taught about social norms. So those of us who have trouble with them struggle. In any case, I hope you and your wife are better for the realization!

Ehh for some it's natural to understand, for some it's learned, for some it's off the radar completely.

Asking for compliments is fine but people are insecure so they do it indirectly.

"How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever" would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them. But they would be uncomfortable with asking, "can you compliment this ..."

You're right that it's not communication. It's super taxing for me as i'm in the learned group edging on off the radar(i naturally interpret teasing as bullying). So i just try to compliment people regularly at least once every time i spend time with them to make up for it. More on dates and in relationships.

You have fundamentally misunderstood millennial meme culture ca. 2006 (roughly when the rules were made).

No one having a fetish for it would be extremely motivating to create such porn. People realized after it was made that they had a fetish for it. See: Shrek.

So technically you can still say "if it exists, someone has a fetish for it" but you've relied on correlation to determine causation and gotten it backwards. This is a great example of why we don't do that.

Even then it's safer than playing with rocks it seems.

It's hell. But at least you can dial boot the damn thing.

Ah, i think i understand the trope of being drawn to body horror a little better now.

Im really happy you were able to get E though!!!

There's also the west coast. The damming of the Columbia, while a natural disaster, made the region viable for manufacture and ship building. In some ways it lead to the possibility for the tech industry as well for better or worse.
