Yet people play way more video games to an unhealthy degree than watch porn. A gooner who spends hours jerking to porn is an extreme and rare beast. Playing video games for long hours is normalized. And the evidence on porn being bad isn't conclusive. My issue is really with bias. I'm not even particularly pro porn or anything. I'm yet to hear any serious arguments that isn't essentially just pushing conformity and vibes. It's very chuddy. Very "west has fallen" energy.

Genuinely Captivating and creative gem of a movie that I wanted to share. It's a beautiful story about the duality of selfishness and selflessness in an alien enchanted forest type world with a spiritual component. A rare fantasy world that is truly original in it's concept. No horses anywhere in sight 🐎 Jim Henson, the lead producer, had to fund this movie through his more successful work with the Muppets Show. He made several movies just to make this one. I've noticed that often creatives have to fund their passion projects through work they're less passionate about but that the market rewards. The Dark Crystal was profitable, but no suit would ever touch a Dark Crystal movie. The movie is a creative deluge, but production costs must have been out of this world 🪐🌀 The premise of the story: You can watch the whole thing on YT. I love watching the making of films of old movies. There was very limited things you could do with computers. Everything was practical and people had to get very creative in order to make a convincing film. I think Lord of the Rings was kind of the cut off point where movie productions became more and more reliant on CG and they started to lose their charm a little. They stopped using miniatures and shit. I think the only cg heavy movie I like is Revenge of the Sith, because it's so earnest in its corniness. They genuinely thought that the cg was super cool.

I have 100% brain damage. It's the best thing ever. You no longer care about studies or breathing in people's medication.

It's not 🤢, it's 🤮

I'm not sure if your vegan or something, but you definitely got some beef.

This topic feels very algorythmic. How real is this issue actually and how do people know that men are approaching less now than before? I don't think pick up has ever been normal. Sifting through Google search and every result is slop. This feels at best like it's being exaggerated.

people can get butthurt over you chosing to not eat certain things. they can feel like your being inconvenient and difficult for stupid reasons or like you think your better than them (especially with vegans).

do you actually need these people? you could make your own video. Sound like they just vultures.

Are you about to win an argument or losing a friend?

Did we ever stop bullying AI? 🤨 It's not cringe, it's garbage.

If there's smoke...

People are different with unique needs, lifestyles, metabolisms, allergies, etc. It's impossible to generalize the best diet for everyone. It doesn't hurt to experiment with your diet to find what works for you. Just be honest about your results. I know that my mom calms her stomach by eating salty licorice. Don't ask me how that works. Dietary guidelines are good frameworks for the average person though. The average person is so haphazard with their diet that following any health oriented guideline is an upgrade, as that usually just means more veggies and less junk.

But it doesn't understand. It doesn't know anything. your speaking to a ghost.

Nah you need that. During the day you rarely actually need wifi for important stuff. You can set it up so that your wifi is only active for 1 hour a day.

just turn off your wifi.

Recently jumped on the safety razor bandwagon because I've heard it gives a closer shave and is cheaper. Been using for about a week or so, and I have to honestly say I'm kinda disappointed. It doesn't really shave any closer, but is way harder to use and takes much longer while my skin is more irritated and getting nicked. It's also much harder to shave my balls with. And in my case isn't particularly much cheaper. I have very little facial hair and I've been reusing disposable razors without issue my entire life. A Bic pack can last me about half a year easily. I've spent more on buying a safety razor than I've done on disposable blades in years. If I have to spend even more on high quality lather to make it work then I'm definitely not saving much money. They are supposedly good for shaving legs with though. Ladies?

There's a different vibe when it's a choice, I guess. Obviously, if you need ozempic in the first place it's kind of a skill issue (besides due to having specific health issues like diabetes). I'm more optimistic, if only that it makes weightloss feel more achievable such that they become actually serious about. But it's still early days.

I hate how Google prioritizes Reddit search results so much now, besides AI summaries being 40-100% based of Reddit comments. Sometimes the first page is nothing but Reddit. Utter trash.

I only ever met a couple of people I would consider fit to own a dog out of the myriad of dog owners I've met. Most people don't have the time, resources or discipline to properly tend to a dog. I know people who got breeds simply because they look cool but don't fit their lifestyle at all. I know a chronically ill person who owned a sleigh dog. Obviously they couldn't keep up and it ended up so stressed and bored that it started eating glass. But then they had a huge ego over giving it up to a certain someone who was capable of giving that dog a decent life. The rise of dogs getting medicated is a sign that too many people own dogs that they can't properly take care of. The high demand on dogs incentivizes irresponsible breeding, which leads to bad genes and anti-social dog behavior. Way more shelter dogs should be euthanized, which is clearly an unpopular thing to say, but would realistically be the most responsible thing to do. There are way too many dogs in circulation. And people are way too fucking obsessed with dogs, to a point of mania. I've had people let their dogs into my home uninvited, then act shocked when I get mad. I've seen people walk their giant illegal looking pitbull monster through a park full of kids with no leash acting like it's normal. The shitstorm people throw over "dog abuse", like that Hasan situation. Shit's childish and irresponsible. It's like dogs have become the personification of Neverland. Dogs being compared to children is manic af too. It's just a fucking dog, my god.

I actually think Dota is probably the more chad game to wizardmaxx. That's shit's hard. That and CS. Way more pathetic to play some gacha gooner game for 1000+ hours. If Dr. K had 1000s of hours into Genshin Impact, Fate, etc. his opinions would be as good as worthless.

How long have you been using them?

"People are saying", IE. 1-2 comments of Reddit.

Sounds like a you problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's much much worse for wasting time. They are literally designed to be addictive. People play for 1000s of hours while neglecting making something of their lives. It's way more problematic. The entire media environment can easily slopify your life, but porn gets singled out as uniquely evil despite only taking a fraction of people's time relative to other forms of entertainment on average.
