You know it.

That and internal combustion engines are amazing in terms of energy to torque power.

Ultimately it’s your kid so I would not presume to tell you what to do with it. I will tell you that its popularity in America stemmed from a time period where they knew that removing that little bit of foreskin desensitized your penis which they believe made you less likely to play with yourself.

That being said I am also circumcised and I think I would prefer that but…I don’t know of anything else. For all I really know my QoL might have been better had I not been.

It’s a bit of a losing battle on that. Lemmy leans hard towards anti-Israel, and a lot indulge in antisemitism. It’s just one of those things you learn to ignore.

Because my brain had/has enough room to hold diagraming sentences or higher mathematics. And I chose the one that allows for me to insult people in a way where they know I’m insulting them, but are unable to articulate how I’m insulting them.

There seems to be a rash of that going around as of late. Couple years back the company I was working for pulled up stakes in my area. The company as a whole was scaling back in rural areas. But, I eventually found something else. I know you will as well. Just hang tough for a bit. It’ll come around.

Ah. Sounds rough man. You doing ok? I’m sure you’re not golden, but more ups than downs hopefully.

I feel like there’s multiple answers to your question and none of them are going to completely satisfy you(ba-dum-tiss)

First and easiest, is addiction. While it’s been overused as an excuse for bad behavior some people become absolutely addicted to sex. From the chase to the event. Could be they enjoy conquering or being conquered. And you can’t discount the absolute flood of feel good chemicals that go on while the event does. And still there are others who are just addicted to that level of intimate connection with another living human being.

Then we have the psychological and romantic viewpoint that often comes with it. The idea of being desired and desiring. Of being wanted and wanting. And that’s a potent psychological trigger for a lot of people. And then on a deeper level you’ve got that some people this is the most intimate they’ll ever be with another person and that’s something they don’t get to feel very often So when the opportunity or presents itself they want to do that.

And lastly you just have a biological imperative in a lot of people. For some of us are hardwiring screams a lot louder than it does for other people.

SSRIs?

From my youth(I’m 39), I remember McDonalds having a pizza happy meal. I remember the commercial for it being a song with the lyrics “It’s a pizza happy meal, a pepperoni and cheese!” The song was to the tune of a very stereotypical “Italian” sounding tune. Now, there’s definitive evidence that a pizza happy meal existed but I cannot find that commercial or someone else who remembers that song.

I live in SC. There was a big uproar about it and an even bigger one that the news shrugged its shoulders and went “eh, not really news worth.”

There for sure was.

No.

Sure but Ringu dealt with the horror in a unique way namely “who would you offer up to save yourself?”

And I don’t count the American Remake. It was shit.

The vast majority of Japanese horror doesn’t seem to catch on outside of Japan. Sure, there’s a few exceptions. But by and large their folklore and culture is “foreign” enough that horror(a niche genre in and of itself) from Japan can seem well…unscary to someone say from America.

If they are running their own communities yes they can. Mods can and do ban people from the communities.

Go back to Reddit? This system stops witch hunts, effectively stops echo chambers from gaining traction, and helps protect against power tripping mods.

Much like someone else told you, you can control what you see. If you don’t see the trolls do they really exist for you? If you don’t go looking for their “ghost” you won’t find it

Blocking means you can’t see them. It makes them non existent to you. It doesn’t hide you from them. It’s working as intended.

No, it isn’t wrong to want to choose your friends based on your hobbies. It’s healthy. Sure, you will need some flexibility. It can’t all be your way all the time. But generally you want friends who enjoy the same activities and “things” you do. You want enough similarities to have stuff to do and talk about, but enough differences that you aren’t just repeating the same things to each other.

And as with most relationships, a small handful of great ones can sustain us for longer and more deeply than a deluge of shallow and circumstantial ones.
