He kept raving about seeing an Insulindian Phasmid, and wouldn't shut up about leftist theory.

Literally one of the first dates I took my (now) wife on. She was in an entomology class and I lived in the foothills. I took her on a hike to collect insects for a class project. We also collected a roadkill snake on the way home for her to clean and articulate the skeleton.

No, that was why we picked it up. It was in like-new condition.

Brains are the most attractive feature imo. Perhaps I am a zombie.

I think they too are a zombie based on their username. They appear to have forgotten their desguise though so they might be too busy eating brains to actually have one, likely making them far less tasty than a juicy human.

Not many people worth biting, even for a professional zombie.

My dream date would be co-op in Elden Ring and they end up soloing the hardest bosses using the weakest weapon in the game without taking a hit. That would be so hot.

"He kept saying that a stick insect had gone up his shorts, and it was for the good of all insectdom for us to find it and document its secretions."

Girl, will you be my junebug? There is no metaphor; I think junebugs are the best in the world and you are the bestest junebug.

I won't stop dating and, heck, I might be true happy if someone feels the same w/me, but dayum if I dont wish someone who woud interlock fingers with me after saying above sentence

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 16 hours ago

But if that isn't a metaphor, then you're literally asking her to be your insect. I mean, I don't judge fetishes, but borderline feels rude.
