I was recently having a discussion with my girlfriend on why i feel this exact way. I was having alot of trouble putting into words what about it is so off putting to me. she accused me of kink shaming them, and I dont disagree with that assessment. But i was struggling to express WHY? I find the whole culture surrounding it disgusting. Weirdly it has nothing to do with the obvious infections and diseases associated with casual sex, and obviously people can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes. I generally take no issue with anything ‘odd’ in the bedroom. Theres just something off about the culture as a whole that sounds all the alarm bells in my brain.

Maybe someone can put into words what this feeling is and where its coming from?

650 ml? Most bottles are 750, they couldve made the balls a bit larger. It wouldve looked better and held more wine.

I always love the coments on posts like this, you can always tell exactly who you’d want at the function.

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Louis Rossman had a video years ago that really got me looking at people differently. An obvious sign for him is how they treat animals. animals sadly are often the ultimate litmus test for ones morality. I find that respecting an animal, its boundries and its emotions is a thing only possible when youve developed a (imo) basic sense of empathy, that for pets and animals cant be expressed verbally.

Think of times when a person was trying to force an animals to behave in a particular way purely for self intrest. Or if someone you know outright denies the complex emotions of animals. I am by no means an animal rights activist and i often can be heard yelling at my dog to stop barking or etc. But i think even if we “own” them most good people dont think of pets as propperty, status symbols, or entertainment.

the moment i see behavior like this I try to correct and if they actively fight me on it or make no attempt to improve. I will disconnect from them entirely, not worth it. If thats how you treat family, i dont want to see how you treat friends.

The clash of wood and futuristic looks awesome, great work

Not you again… genuinely convinced this user is a bot. He made this same argument a month ago on a now deleted post almost verbatim. I disputed his claims with evidence and they continuously moved the goalpost through the entire argument. either braindead or just software please ignore.

tries it for smut AI bookmark:“I cannot read this because It violates our content policy.”

The woman landed on her stomach on the mexican side of the border launching the baby back over to the US side into a nearby pile of brush on US soil. ICE agents argue the child was born on the mexican side of the border, however Immigration has already given the child a cellphone and 1000$ to survive until its hearing 12 months from now.

Im encountering alot of AI created websites that explain concepts like “side effects of X pill” (a recent example) and there was basically no real medical websites in the top results, Just clearly AI using thousands of words to say nothing that I cant trust.

I was considering locally hosting a search engine to circumvent my need for them entirely. Search engine optimization seems like a nightmare, if they were trying to give me useful results. So im not sure if that would be a spend 5 hours to save 5 minutes situation.

As you and others said, Its been getting worse for years so its probably just a coincidence that its also profitable for AI.

Im convinced they made search engines worse to promote AI usage.

Is it a portal-able surface?

Lets say your worst fears are correct and this “female”, is trying to keep you as an orbiter. Get over yourself, you had no claim to her time.

She was willing to spend time with you before, probably because she thought you were genuinely interested in her platonically and wanted you as a close friend. You caught feelings and are blaming her for her actions and assigning motives to easily explainable actions. you crossed the line, and she pulled away. Shes a social person and wanted many friends. Even if she was interested in you at some point, you said/did something that superseded that. Maybe she felt like you werent reaching out to her enough. but my guess is using the word female unironically to describe a person.

Seems to me that she “Intended” to hop online, play some games and talk to strangers. You should probably back off and re-evaluate how you view people especially women.

Heres a song, very relevant to your situation.

Is that a vape?

So would silicon be subject to the same fossilization process as bones? Or whould it have a simmilar decay to cartilage?

Whys it muted?

I used to not like it too. But then I actually worked in a setting where everyones personality clashes in really stupid ways. People take it too seriously, Horrible jokes/pranks, nepotism, work relationships, nerds, psychos, OCD, and so on. Its such an accurate take on “I hate it here but everyday is a trip”.

Just like real life after the awkward getting to know everyone phase, the series starts to make you really care about these Idiots. The show is very self aware and the cringe you feel, is the same feeling you get being a new guy in a room full of randoms who are all just “trying” to get along.

if you dont like the american one, Id recommend the british version. I understand if its still not your thing, and it is a huge time investment. Id say its worth it, LOTS of people like the show, so its a good topic to bring up, or even put on in the background.

Yeah! great read if you have the time. It can be used to explain alot of things since its a very open take on going from a state of ignorance or naivety to “seeing the light”. I think its an important read, since people still in the “cave” are hard if not impossible to “convince” with such a limited perspective on reality.

I further interpret this to mean If we want to pull our fellow man out of the cave, we have to help change their perspective and meet them where they are in their journey out.
