The "calling my experiences ages" age sounds like a upturn in your vernacular reconstruction era.

saul-your-honor your honor, the United $$nakes SSenator wouldn't call for a ceasefire in Gaza. My client was acting in a based manner. If they're revealed to be right wing, the punishment should be minimized to a heartbreaking

Bit idea: invitation to a reeducation camp where you just learn Mandarin, Chinese history, and get to hang out with leftists in a camp setting somewhere in a Chinese forest.

It's so bizarre, as I look through Lipman's Wikipedia page, I see a whole bunch of shit about acting and some notes about how she writes is an editorial adviser for Jewish Resistance magazine. However, I don't see anything that makes her knowledgeable about fascism.

In April 2018, Lipman criticised then-current Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn for his poor handling of antisemitism in the Labour Party and the party's reputed failure to address the issue. Lipman attended a protest outside the Labour Party head office and said she attended the protest "as a disenfranchised socialist". She identified with a placard reading "Corbyn made me a Tory".[53][54][55]

In a January 2015 interview on LBC Radio, Lipman said she was considering emigrating to the United States or Israel in response to perceived increased antisemitism in the UK.[51][52]

then start with 40/week and see if you can still see straight afterward and go from there.

I don't know about optimal, but it is superior (i.e. more optimal) to ejaculating less if your only metric is risk of prostate cancer.

In my experience I could never square the circle about PMO being a false pleasure after reading Easy Peasy over and over. I never felt any more clearheaded, it never effected my ability to engage with a partner, and it never made me less motivated to find a partner. I don't think just find a partner 4Head is a good idea for my quality of life. I don't feel any less capable of engaging with my career. My lifts don't go down. I still talk to my friends. I even went to a therapist to talk about it and he said his clients who no longer suffer manage to find a balance in their life, not that they're able to break the shackles.

I even looked at all the studies that 4chan likes to throw around and came away thinking that the claims about gray matter and other brain chemistry were not as concrete and substantiated as one might be led to believe. For example, the conclusion of one study made no claim that it was reducing the gray matter of the brain because the experiment wasn't designed to differentiate those with already less gray matter who might be thereby be predisposed to liking porn or something. There was one about how it acts similar to cocaine, but it showed how harmful cocaine is in the sense that it imitates things like orgasm and eating. Another one claimed that internet addiction should be a DSM-V umbrella for more specific ways to engage in harmful activities on the internet like gambling, gaming, porn, etc. not that porn was specifically in some psychiatric black hole (or something you couldn't use a therapist to engage with).

Meanwhile there are things I can do with significantly less effort that have a much larger effect on my inter personals and brain chemistry: nutrition, reading, sleep hygiene, meditation, lifting, helped people in need, etc. have all clearly and tangibly increased my quality of life. Orgasm is a compulsion for me and I like to maximize the pleasure from it, sure. Is it clearly and obviously harming me? No. For me, hearing that religiosity is more correlated with feeling like you have a problem than frequency of masturbation was telling. I just stopped caring and it stopped weighing down my mind. I gave it my full and undivided attention for months and walked away from nofap.

I think about this every time I want a sensory pleasure.

~~I believe it's a marginal increase in risk.~~

31% decreased risk and 1 in 8 American men get diagnosed. It's actually more optimal to do 4-7 times/wk compared to less. I wanted to be a contrarian and say you don't have to, and you don't, but it might be worth looking into (the link in bio).

If it makes you feel any better I'm at Langley monitoring leftists and I haven't given your details to my handlers yet. Maybe step up your posting game.

If you're using fantasy for a 1:1 ratio of reading a thing to creating a mental image then I guess AI would work for you. The good shit is more than the sum of its parts. It's like the difference between a portrait study at your community college and the Mona Lisa. If Nintendo was an AI company, tears of the kingdom would have been 6 more dungeons because Ganondorf is back up to trouble instead of letting you construct vehicles in the sky and underground.

Good fantasy has a certain spice in the way that it makes you reconsider yourself and the things around you. Dark Academia isn't just about portraits of libraries. In Infinity Alchemy it's a chance to think about class and what happens when reputation precedes you. If the magic was just non-descript fireballs out of wands and drinking coffee I would have dropped it. Even if you're an amateur writer like me doing a lot of description, picking coagulated imagiogen out of sleeping people's dreams as a reagent for practical applications involving floating makes some intuitive sense.

It's discouraging and another symptom in the same vein as Disney slop, capeshit, and live action remakes. It's financers and people looking for profit making cultural products. It's not inspiring

 

Shut up, brand

 

Have you considered that helping people is actually the real harming people? People who think we should burn houses down only disagree with me on aesthetic!

 

The bittersweet tragedy of all your ideas being good posts

 

Pros: it will be exciting and engaging to see someone with a federated name and the notice their opinion being dogshit

Cons: mathematically proven to not have cons

 

Upbears to the left. Now. pflp-octoplushie

 

Not currently in therapy, so I guess we'll never know 😎

Once upon a time I found r/CTH and I lurked there for months. It was during the democratic debates that someone said something that was so funny that it broke my vow of silence and made me want to post as well. I was originally won over when I found people from the sub deride someone for being racist by telling them to post hog. I wasn't used to having anyone but scolds go to bat for me and it resonated with me. When the sub closing down I remember there was a post that was all "thank you all for being such wonderful comrades" and the reply was to the effect of "don't mention it." And that's the kind of energy I strive to have forevermore. I was disappointed in the lag between the sub and this site, but I wasn't sad sad about it. But I heard somewhere, probably like a tangential subr*ddit that there was a new site coming up and I jumped at the chance to be a part of it.

I've never been too good at being a part of the community. I missed a lot of the transphobia that people were talking about. I thought we were all down for the cause and being supportive. When we needed pronouns I put them on my profile real quick no questions asked. When TC69 asked us to read leslie-feinberg I did it and engaged in conversation. I thought I was a power user until I saw the amount of comments some people make and it always humbles me. For as much as I like anything, there's someone who likes it more. That rocks. I suppose I'm a mod on our fitness com; I've all but abdicated my duties and it's a source of embarrassment for me. I want to make sure people avoid glorifying disordered eating (all calories are bastards) and that they don't think we can offer medical advice. We already have some of the best advice that the Internet has to offer in terms of general fitness - I've used it myself to lose 16kg previously.

Outside of the posting I work in non-descriptly and non-identifiably in some type of human biological sciences. I used to work in the adrenachrome factory in which I saw horror stories of the American healthcare system. Moving away from there I now work in the CIA trying to catch posters for being too based to inject them with cringe lib takes and nanochips.

I have two main interests that followed me from before I was a lefty: combat sports and fantasy novel writing. I have a brown belt in BJJ and I've competed successfully at that level. I also have a couple years of muay thai experience and have competed there as well (kind of because it was decided draw before we stepped in). I was invited to start coaching BJJ fundamentals after my latest promotion and it's a big source of inspiration for me because people dig my classes. It has accelerated my own learning because I realized how much I was doing wrong myself and some of the moves that had become defunct suddenly started working for me again. People who want to start or use other arts will sometimes come to me for my opinion and expertise in grappling. Being part of the academy is sometimes trying for me because it puts me in conversations with veterans and I have an ideological disposition that opposes me to them but I have a laid back disposition when it comes to normal conversation. There's always that tension of wanting to point fingers at them and call them an imperial pawn, but damn if that would be more cringe than it would be pragmatic. I have this dream of doing a free instructional series called "fighting for people who probably aren't going to practice" where I go over things that might save your skin in a protest. For example, you'd want to know how to escape from bottom of mount and how to fall properly. I'd want to explain why you're better off tripping someone with your poor form than you are punching someone with your poorly crafted punches.

Along the same vein of my labors of love maybe hopefully contributing to the one just fight, my novels always have to have communists portrayed in them in a positive light. Sometimes I'm crafting fantasy worlds where I can have a country with communism being pitted against a capitalist society or a continent with two communes and a kingdom. I have a third of a first draft of a dystopian+hopium future where 100 years have passed since current day. The main character is a freeze-gamer who was raised by lefties somewhere in the western US. The MC is profoundly disinterested in politics and never really explores or desires a context for why there's an eastern US, a western US, a no-mans-land republic of Texas, and less than 20 entities that call themselves states. All the MC knows is that he hates the eastern US's corporations, the last hold out of capitalism as we know it, and aims to cyberbully them in the VRMMO that is essentially my retelling of Ready Player One

That's all I have. If you want to learn anything from me it's that if you manage to find something that interests you in this life then you should run after it and cherish it. Say thank you for the days that it fills your life with colors and look fondly at memories of it on gray days.

 

They kill and loot because "they're just following orders." It's gross. A high schooler working a McDonald's drive through is braver than all the troops bravery combined
