Voted Atlantic due to the Baltic sea / the Danish Straits / the North Sea / Sea of the Hebrides.
My homer choice for fav body of water is definitely The Minch though.
Luing - Don PatersonWhen the day comes, as the day surely must,When it is asked of you and you refuseto take that lover’s wound again, that cupof emptiness that is our one completion,I’d say go here, maybe, to our unsunginnermost isle: Kilda’s antithesis,yet still with its own tiny stubborn anthem,its yellow milkwort and its stunted kye.Leaving the motherland by a two car raft,the littlest of the fleet, you cross the minchto find yourself, if anything, now deeperin her arms than ever; sharing her breath.Watching the red vans sliding silentlybetween her hills. In such intimate exile,who’d believe the burn behind the housethe straitened ocean written on the map?Here, beside the fordable Atlanticreborn into a secret candidacy,the fontanelles reopen one by onein the palms, then the breastbone and the brow,Aching at the shearwater’s wail, the rowanthat falls beyond all seasons. One morningyou hover on the threshold, knowing for certainthe first touch of the light will finish you.

Gotta be Mediterranean for me. I mean, Asia, Africa AND Europe, plus loads of great food. Either that or the Indian Ocean, because I love spice.

i know they're trolling by i agree. it's not cool to call people "it."
― treeship., Monday, 14 October 2019 18:40 (four years ago) link
that's my contribution to the discourse for today.✌️
I am certain that esby is entirely sincere in expressing personal concern about dehumanizing pronouns, because trolls are very sensitive to such matters.

I tagged you "it". I feel no shame for doing so. The rules of trolling do not require I give you any dignity and I chose not to, for by choosing to troll you forsake such social niceties. That enough ownership for you?
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 14 October 2019 19:21 (four years ago) link
this is pretty lightweight trolling??? I mean, I don't think I would even call this trolling.

Vieil océan, aux vagues de cristal, tu ressembles proportionnellement à ces marques azurées que l'on voit sur le dos meurtri des mousses ; tu es un immense bleu, appliqué sur le corps de la terre : j'aime cette comparaison. Ainsi, à ton premier aspect, un souffle prolongé de tristesse, qu'on croirait être le murmure de ta brise suave, passe, en laissant des ineffaçables traces, sur l'âme profondément ébranlée, et tu rappelles au souvenir de tes amants, sans qu'on s'en rende toujours compte, les rudes commencements de l'homme, où il fait connaissance avec la douleur, qui ne le quitte plus. Je te salue, vieil océan !
Vieil océan, ta forme harmonieusement sphérique, qui réjouit la face grave de la géométrie, ne me rappelle que trop les petits yeux de l'homme, pareils à ceux du sanglier pour la petitesse, et à ceux des oiseaux de nuit pour la perfection circulaire du contour. Cependant, l'homme s'est cru beau dans tous les siècles. Moi, je suppose plutôt que l'homme ne croit à sa beauté que par amour-propre ; mais, qu'il n'est pas beau réellement et qu'il s'en doute, car, pourquoi regarde-t-il la figure de son semblable avec tant de mépris ? Je te salue, vieil océan !
Vieil océan, tu es le symbole de l'identité : toujours égal à toi-même. Tu ne varies pas d'une manière essentielle, et, si tes vagues sont quelque part en furie, plus loin, dans quelque autre zone, elles sont dans le calme le plus complet. Tu n'es pas comme l'homme, qui s'arrête dans la rue, pour voir deux boule-dogues s'empoigner au cou, mais, qui ne s'arrête pas, quand un enterrement passe ; qui est ce matin accessible et ce soir de mauvaise humeur ; qui rit aujourd'hui et pleure demain. Je te salue, vieil océan !
Vieil océan, il n'y aurait rien d'impossible à ce que tu caches dans ton sein de futures utilités pour l'homme. Tu lui as déjà donné la baleine. Tu ne laisses pas facilement deviner aux yeux avides des sciences naturelles les mille secrets de ton intime organisation : tu es modeste. L'homme se vante sans cesse, et pour des minuties. Je te salue, vieil océan !

what if "it" is its preferred pronoun?
― Spironolactone T. Agnew (rushomancy), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 13:07 (four years ago) link
honestly, i would be uncomfortable referring to a person with the same pronouns i use for objects. it would feel insulting to them.
― treeship., Tuesday, 15 October 2019 15:00 (four years ago) link
are there any such persons?
it would feel insulting to them
contempt and disdain have a rightful place among possible responses to people's words and actions. insults have a functional place in the world of rhetoric, as a means of expressing that contempt or disdain.
