It’s not new, but there’s still a degree of how bad it is. I only know personally, I didn’t change because I felt uncomfortable with something, I changed because it got so bad there was essentially no other choice. It was change something or die.

Now that’s only personal problems, but I think it applies society wide. People are still not at the breaking point, but the worse it gets, the more likely it’ll be reached. Once enough people feel so bad about it that it’s either dying or change for them, that is when real change will happen.

The internet has not fucked me anally either.

Unless you count the dildos I bought online, which then fucked me anally… Oh no… It really can do anything!

I’m sorry, but it’s likely literally impossible for this to be the leading paradigm for 10% of people. Maybe 10% would work but I think it’d already be problematic.

You have to remember that the only reason you got these things was because other people didn’t need them anymore. Why didn’t they need it anymore? Because they bought new stuff.

And you surely didn’t get all these things from a single household. Many different households had to get new stuff so their old stuff became available. It’s likely that more than 10 households are necessary to sustain 1 person that gets everything used, because not everyone buys new things all the time, and stuff often breaks instead of still being fine to use.

I personally would eyeball 1-5% of people could do this like you, but this is just a complete unsubstantiated feeling, a guess.

I only remember some study with beards in men, how it is cyclical in the sense that when everyone has a beard, a beardless man stands out and thus signals to potential partners their “difference”. Same when most people are clean-shaven. And thus the sexual need to “stand out” gets served by being bearded when everyone is shaved, and being shaved when everyone is bearded, resulting in a cycle.

I suspect it’s similar with pubic hair.

Ferengis were meant to be a caricature of our current society, so yes, Ferengi fits.

Exactly, awkwardness is something entirely personal. Ask any other person and they might say dating after a friendship is never awkward or that it always is. It’s irrelevant to ask anyone else about awkwardness.

If they genuinely have neither romantic nor sexual attraction to any women, just wishing they did, I’d call it “wanting to fit in/wanting to belong with a specific group” (in this case lesbian/bi groups/people), having no connection at all to one’s sexual orientation. Just a characteristic of humans social nature.

Or being traumatized by men or something.

I’m sorry for your loss, but I had to laugh when it took me entirely too long to figure out that apparently “dumbbell” is a kind of dog and not a fitness instrument.

Of course they would. Not everyone reasonable of course, but people are terribly stupid by default, even if they somehow stumbled into Firefox for some reason before.

There are people that say stuff like “better the devil you know” or “if I compromise privacy either way, might as well use the more supported browser” or whatever rationalizations people come up with.

I like me some good smelly ass to suck

Especially your mom’s, so yes, you did right

Also, if there are a couple tribes enough distance apart to each be self-sufficient, there is no incentive to even have a state. Government/states only became useful once too many people lived too closely together.

And it’s not like we can go back to tribal self-sufficiency.

I’d rather make the wrong choice than the scary choice.

Unrelated to the topic, but this mindset is exactly why far-right movements are getting so strong right now.

I just don’t hear any difference between ~200kbps VBR mp3 and flac. If you manage a large library, 10x smaller matters a lot, it’s faster to transfer, easier to share on the web, space still costs money.

From the way the mods of that subreddit behaved, it was pretty clear that they didn’t care at all about the protests. They made a poll and ignored the like 60% that wanted the protest to continue.
