      Note that Mr. Franklin’s motto meant “Get your shit done” rather than today’s interpretation of “Get the fuck out of my face.”

        Sorta. It meant mind your business if you want to be successful as in like literally being there at your business to make things run smooth. That said he also heavily implies that you should stay out of others business if you want to succeed.

        So it more or less means both just more nicely put like a southern “bless your heart” not actually being a positive.

        Omg I forgot that was a thing, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t trolling, but no some of those people literally believe if they don’t whack it they’ll have superhuman powers, sounds similar to all the benefits of essential oils (/s) /Rant

          Which is funny because there is a ton of data saying that ejaculation is good for you. And I’m sure most of them aren’t having sex that often.

              I had a youth pastor back before I was old enough to have started masturbating, and he gathered all the boys 'round one day to talk to us about masturbation, because the previous weeks one of the boys had made a joke about it.

              Basically, the consensus at the Denbigh Christian Church was that ejaculation is only sinful if you’re lustful. So loving sex between spouses is okay, jerking off is a sin, and wet dream can also be sins, if accompanied by dirty dreams. But the real problem is that ejaculate is, basically, your bodies reserve of energy. If you’re constantly cumming, you won’t have energy for other things, because your body needs that for shit like thinking, and moving.

              Basically, you’re wasting calories, I think?

              I was 10, and very confused.

              ETA: got the church wrong. Can’t remember the name of the one with that youth pastor. But the Sunday school teacher at the same church (not DCC, the one I can’t remember) told us that Angels hate us, because we have free will and they don’t, and if it were up to them, they’d slaughter us in our sleep. They only don’t because they’re told not to by God.

                Better than what my grandmother (who was not the best person) told me when I was very small and taking a bath- “if you keep touching it, a man will come with a scissors and cut it off.” Even now more than 40 years later, just typing it kind of freaks me out because it scared me so much.

                On the other hand, it never stopped me from masturbating, so I guess she failed there.

                  Nothing stops masturbation. Best you get is creating a complex around it.

                  But when I was a kid and in the “I grew a fidget spinner!” phase of the late single digits, my mom told me that it i didn’t stop playing with it, it would get stuck in a random position and then I’d have to lay on my side to pee.

                    That might actually encourage me.

          I feel like there is a toxic Andrew Tate black hole that has been sucking up incels lately. The whole NoFap, wife should be a virgin, high/low value women shit is starting to get popular in these circles.

            Sucks, halfway want to blast the group with facts on the off chance it spares a single kid from getting sucked into that kinda crap, but I’m sure id just be banned instantly.
