From lovers to enemies. I don't envy your situation. Its exactly that I fear most from marriage. It stresses the importance of vetting your partners. And I don't know if that's enough still.

Latest post about realism reminds me of this story. I have a relative who claims they can talk to ravens and that they frequently did so during childhood. It's not that I am not prepared to be open minded to them being able to talk to ravens, even though its to me unrealistic, but its just more probable that it's some imaginary friend type shit (they are autistic if it matters). They've made other claims about talking with ghosts and shit too on ocassion. How serious should you take claims like this? My instinct is to go just like "yeah whatever".

Never had an issue 👍

Which is something I've been saying for a while. Porn is overrated as a negative to society compared to social media, gaming and streaming. Casual media is much more likely to hold you back in life by a huge magnitude. It's just that complaining that you are addicted to gaming and that governments should ban it is going to be met with "L + skill issue". Most anti-porn bros think that porn is inherently shameful. It has more to do with cultural attitudes, largely rooted in religion, than anything else. There's also some misogynistic rage over promiscuous women and how girls can easily make a lot of money of sex mixed in there towards the more incelly aspect of anti-porn. The whole thing is a big nothing burger. It's just losers projecting their victim mentality.

The best way to prevent your store from being looted is to be a bookstore.

Some men drown while others die of thirst.

Holy AI. It takes personal leadership to be effective at anything. Rosa parks was a prolific activist, no doubt. She just gets overcredited for propaganda purposes. Extensive political machinations worked to end segregation. BTW, Martin Luther King was also a hand picked plant specifically for his profile 😉

This is about creating change. Not being a plant. Rosa Parks happened to be useful to an already existing movement. They would've picked someone else if she wasn't available.

It would be genuinely funny though if people got mad that you where calling scientists goblins.

@Leo Gura Certain words and euphemisms essentially mean the same but have different emotional impact. Like goblin can be used the same way as rat but isn't as storied a term. Or smooth brain instead of idiot.

Rosa Park is more of a mascot than a real leader. She was an activist hand picked to represent the lawsuits against segregation because she was more sympathetic as a "poor seamstress" (as opposed to a "dangerous man"). Her whole story was staged for political ends. The pictures taken of her on the bus where taken after she was first arrested as part of their propaganda campaign. Real political machinations orchestrated Rosa Parks. It's just probability. I'm not saying anything crazy. Prove me wrong, by all means.

It's not a belief as much as an observation. None of you here are going to be world leaders realistically. Don't misunderstand me. The lot here is more ambitious than most but your not THAT ambitious most likely, where you will noticeably change the world. And that's fine.

It's too denigrating to be funny I think. Do you actually think they're vermin/filth? That's how it could be perceived.

Nope. Most people are ordinary.

Wine, cigarette and baguette stores have all been looted.

Leo is much more chill now. I remember 🐀 being his favorite slur.

The only way to effectively ban porn is to harshly clamp down on your digital freedoms I think. Then people would revert back to trading mags and hard drives. You have to be N. Korean levels of authoritarian to really beat out porn use. The effort is not worth the squeeze.

Pressuring payment processors to cut off porn sites I'm guessing is the most effective way to actually reduce the supply. Then you can add on age verification, ban VPNs, etc. Make it a pain in the ass as much as possible, no pun intended.

I just don't believe you bro. Nothing personal. Again, I apologize.

My client denies any wrong doing and any relations with Peachy the flamingo where consensual.

We tend to overpathologize shame because we don't want to own up to our lives. If your a neet who jerks off 5 times a day and spends most of their waking hours online, and your ashamed of that, then that's a good sign you should change. Shame can be good if it lead to you taking responsibility for you life.

If you busy with life you won't have the time or necessarily desire to chronically masturbate. That's how you know that people who complain a lot of porn addiction tend to be kind of losers. They don't have a lot going on typically. Idle hands are the tools of the devil.

I think its just posturing to try to win some boomers over in reality. I believe Labour is trying to stave off Nigel Farage. Anyone knows that it's largely unenforceable.

The uni kicked two of the frats out after their own internal investigation (but without involving police probably to maintain their reputation). The uni deemed it bad enough to kick out wealthy paying customers. It tilts the scale of probability if nothing else. We should call them frats from now on. Suits them better.
