In the US, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both more charismatic in their day than people remember, although they are both being canceled in today's political culture.
JD Vance has the potential to be charismatic and he could become POTUS at any time. |

| Islamic countries have a black market for illegal alcohol too, so I'm not sure that would solve the problem. Islamic countries have a complex relationship with alcohol. In Saudi Arabia its "haram" across the country but you can purchase liquor within specific designated areas where expats... |

| Does anyone else struggle with feeling asexual at times? If so, how did you explain and/or work this out with your partner? Mine seems to take it personally no matter how much I explain that I just don't like to be touched sometimes. I just feel sensory overload and need to decompress. I end up hav... |

| I recently did the AQ, EQ, SQ and RAADS-R tests, and scored high in the “autistic” range (129 on the RAADS-R, apparently neurotypicals don’t score higher than 64) on all of them.
