I’m in a similar boat. I actively dislike incest/fauxcest porn and porn games. I don’t find it “naughty taboo” but gross and often fetishizing straight-up abuse. I’m not sad to see such games and videos, that I can never quite filter out because they are never consistently tagged, go. I am worried that they will try pulling the same shit as Tumblr and OF.
Luigi crowd stands for murdering people you don’t personally like and getting away with it.
The CEO stood for exactly what the CEO who immediately replaced him stands for.
I’m unsure how I feel about Luigi (if he is indeed the person who murdered the UHC CEO).
Are you arguing that murder through bureaucratic abstraction doesn’t count as murder? Because that sounds like the same vein as “Hitler didn’t actually kill anyone, he just ordered people to” or “Charles Manson wasn’t actually a murderer, his followers did the killing”. The former CEO intentionally caused death and suffering of thousands of people.
And people who are upset at not being sexually attracted to an nb actor who was portraying a 14-year-old girl… I took a look at the trashy sub a few weeks ago and it’s pretty gross.
I’m against institutionalized violence
As am I and I am also very opposed to dehumanization. However…
deepest pit.
No.
Like slavers, they deserve shallow, unmarked graves so that the scavengers can help purge their stain from this world.
Both were less impressive than the beard of Edward Teach.
“The baby looked at you?”
“Harry Potter and the Greedy TERF”
is it better to have an AI therapist than none at all?
The evidence so far shows that the answer to that is a responding “no”. LLM bots have suggested means of suicide to people in crisis and encouraged unhealthy behavior in people with reading disorders. They are dangerous in such roles and should never be used in place of a therapist.
No therapy is better than a “therapist” that tries to murder you.
I really think that “killed” is the wrong term. It is far too neutral. The correct word here would be “murdered”.
I’ve had to start using it a bit but, really don’t use prompts. Generally, just using it in my IDE as a fancy autocomplete that is wrong 40-60% of the time but really reduces toil when writing switch/case statements and the like in statically typed languages.
You gotta meet some other straight men, maybe younger. But for your own sake don’t settle on this way of thinking.
Unfortunately, for myself, I’ve been burned nearly every time there. Not ruling out the possibility of friendship with cis/het men but, I’ve got too much of my own shit to deal with, making my patience for problematic behavior or taking on someone else’s emotional load pretty low.
This is a really unhealthy worldview to carry around about cis men.
Unfortunately, it is in part a reality. Not that it’s the fault of cis/het men that society has willfully and unconscionably failed them, but, in general, cis/het men need a lot of growth and personal development that they often are not aware of.
board game nights
My favorite events, so far. Getting to hang out with new-to-me nerds and play games that I’ve never heard of is a blast.
I chose a therapist that worked with queer people and people who have alternative lifestyles. She was the one who made that suggestion to me
Funnily enough, my therapist made similar recommendations. Having not ever fit in well with other cis/het guys, intentionally seeking out people in the queer space and those living alternate lifestyles has been a breath of fresh air.
I’m in the same boat, undiagnosed AuDHD for most of my life until very recent
We are in almost exactly the same boat. Didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD until about 7 years ago. Then, once initial ADHD was a bit under control, the ASD side of things became more apparent.
What spaces would that be?
…
I’d love to get in touch with LGBTQ folks but have no idea where to start (yeah sure, there are a lot of places online, but I’d prefer actual face-to-face activities)
It really depends on your interests. I’ve had some good success with sex-positive/kink communities (still in an extended initial exploration of the latter). There’s a surprising amount of neurodiverse and wonderfully nerdy presence there as well as extraordinary levels of inclusivity. Probably the best places to go looking are event-oriented sites and apps (probably give apps by dating companies a miss).
Even if that isn’t quite your thing, I might recommend trying out “Plura” (formerly Bloom, I think), if there’s presence in your area. There are a lot of events that pop up that are not sexuality or kink related as well as, at least in my area, frequent free and reasonable cost seminars. These are often covering topics that are of potential use for neurodivergent people as well as more neurotypical people who have experienced trauma and/or, like many straight men, are not very knowledgeable/skilled with their emotions.
“Devs are famously bad at estimating how long a software project will take.”
No, highly complex creative work is inherently extremely difficult to estimate.
Akshually… I’m on a dev team where about 60% of us are diagnosed with ADHD. So, at least in our case, it’s both.
Well, this was good to find out. Republic Services outright lied to us and said that the pickup was “delayed” due to “severe weather”.
Who’s dying on what hill now?
That would be wonderful. The current way that the world has been “working” for a good while now makes me think it unlikely, unfortunately. The vast majority of technological innovation in the last half-century has been used to extract wealth and replace options available to the non-ultra-wealthy with inferior substitutes that are cheaper to make, often for the same effective cost.
I would say that I think it’s weird because I think shaved pubes are weird (and experienced horrific razor burn when I tried it back in college).
Sounds like you are a fucking rockstar dad though. That’s a very vulnerable thing to think about asking your parent for a teenage boy. Lots of self-consciousness and trying to figure oneself out. That he felt comfortable asking you says a lot. That you stepped up to ensure that he knew how to do so safely says a lot too.
I often wonder if I’m alone in that policy.
You’re not.
Question: Can you suggest resources or tips for picking colors that are friendly for color-blind people? Is it easier to differentiate based upon saturation?
