I’d give it a try

That moment of clarity

This TED talk discusses basically that topic

Also if you think you are alone in having problems with pornography, Terry Crews admitted it almost destroyed his marriage

I struggled with it for years and finally was able to quit watching it. I think porn is fine for most people and masterbation is normal, but I personally had problems controlling myself. I still wank it, but do so to my own imagination.

I’m curious if you’ve seen this TED talk and what you think of it. It’s an interesting argument that while our brains can handle porn, excessive use can cause behavioral changes such as preferring porn over a real partner.

A lot of speculation on your part without any evidence to the contrary. If you want to engage in good faith dialogue, be prepared with sources and not personal opinions.

Also your username in itself is a reference to white nationalism, so…

Interesting video. It seems likely that the trend of young people drinking less will continue. It’s so different than when I was younger in the early 2000s.

Ok, now let’s write a screenplay and get this made into a movie!

I also like to separate my work and personal life. I don’t often enjoy small talk and still find I suck at it after years in the work force. I would rather work from home and not deal with people.

All that said, humans are tribal creatures who need interaction with others. I’ve found remembering names, asking them how their day is going, and showing a -vague- interest in them as a person is enough to get by most of the time. Even if I don’t “want” to do it.

“Hey you said you were going golfing, how did that go?”

“Yeah, I spent most of the weekend doing chores and catching up on house projects.”

“Have you seen the latest Netflix show?”

“Im not much into sports, but I heard our team is doing pretty well this year.”

People remember those that treat them like a person. They also remember those that ignore them or otherwise invalidate them by not talking to them. If you want to have a job where you interact with people, you have to play the game.

I’m pretty sure he said the same during the campaign trail.

That’s what I struggle with - he is surrounded by some of the smartest people in the field and chooses not to listen to them.

People will die. RFK has blood on his hands, even if he will never admit it.

So then why even bother to RCV if some asshat can continue to run after losing?

Yeah this isn’t a small strike. They went after the leaders of Iran and their nuclear sites all at once.

Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out

Statistically it is very unlikely this would happen given the votes for other Democrats down ticket. It would be like betting on an old horse to win a race and somehow winning.

I often use the phrase “that’s definitely an oopsie. Maybe even an oopsie daisy” at work

Yeah he will launch off the bed like it’s world war 3

I did the same years ago, but to ensure I can sleep past 4am. Cat won’t stop yelling extremely early in the morning… and when I’m up, I’m up.

He’s basically Jared from the first Trump term

Pakistan is now attacking military targets in India and the rhetoric is growing increasingly hostile. I hope cooler heads prevail but my optimism is fading.
