Y do I still post?

[starkind]

If I don't even get any dopa hits?

[Toxigen]

you do, but you've built up such a massive tolerance you cant feel it anymore

[Jimjam]

I’ll be honest I’ve not been too engaged with your posts recently - I love it when you share your adventures and in game conspiracy theories though.

Reasons behind posting? I’ve seen many through the years. Loneliness, acceptance, validation, conflict. Rage. The desire to share or expand knowledge. Habit. All sorts of reasons.

Maybe some of these are behind your recent posts.

If you feel isolated you may always reach out should you want or need to. My lines are open. Doesn’t have to be eq related.

Ya

Honestly.

The best I can come up with is. "I just want people to get some perspective ".

I definitely need to back off the forums again though. I don't believe im doing any good.

Thanks again.

Everyone.

that's what i think the anti-porn crap is. babbys first fash adventure.

[Ooloo]

Culture encourages women not to be attracted to masculine men, and reassures men that it doesn't matter if they are masculine because women are liberated and breaking all the norms!

Meanwhile nature demands that women are attracted to masculine men. Cue endless failed relationships where the girl realizes it's a huge turnoff when her megalib starbucks-looking boyfriend asks permission to "touch her over the bra".

[Ooloo]

Yeah I still don't know what that means. Thinking porn is bad makes you a nascent fascist? That's how elastic the definition has become?? Why even have conversations when words can mean almost anything you want?

Hey you know who also really doesn't like porn? Many women who went through the industry. I guess they're fascists too, or??

Hey if you think porn isn’t bad and you’re in a happy relationship that is either not affected by or even enhanced by your porn viewing, more power to you

If not, then porn is possibly playing some role, how much and whether you can recognize it or not depends on the person

I usually pass on it, too much sugar in most. Even less sugar barbecue still has tons of sugar

I guess hot is ok, mostly just sodium there

Look at the opportunity cost

If we are coming from the assumption that using something like porn whenever one gets an urge has no negative impact whatsoever on someone’s desire to have an intimate relationship and also no negative impact on their standards if/when they do seek that out…

…and that person happens to be single, let’s also assume they are single only because they want to be, and not because of any other factors or insecurities

Ok, but what if they’re wrong, and decide at some future point they are not happy and link it to feeling lonely. What might they have passed on? Meeting a possible amazing future gf or wife?

Now what if they decide to pass on brief hedonistic pleasure for some period of time. What opportunity will they have lost. Porn will always be there, waiting for them

One costs nothing to pass on, one can cost quite a lot

I wouldn’t call incorrect belief in God wasted time or effort

Past studies have demonstrated that people who considered themself religious scored higher in happiness categories than those that didn’t

If a belief, even an incorrect belief, gave someone a sense of comfort, it would not be wasted. For example, let’s say we’re in a plane and the sky is very turbulent and dark. I am an expert in aviation, and I know with 100% certainty that the plane is going to crash. You no nothing about aviation, so I spend the entire plane trip explaining to you how safe the plane is, and how as an aviation expert I am 100% certain the plane will not crash. And let’s say I convince you completely

You were content up until the moment of the crash (crashes don’t happen that fast but for sake of argument let’s say they do). Even though it was a false sense of security, you had a benefit from it. If we expand that plane trip timeline to your life, it ended the same way, with you suddenly dying, but in one scenario you had hope and in another you wouldn’t

What if belief in 'god' makes you fear your eternal damnation or being nagged while you're watching the game (https://youtu.be/pdaD0WyzA-k)?

Well I don’t know any region that only mentions damnation and not a possible heaven or afterlife, and if there is, that would be one sad religion I agree

So no matter what religion, there would have to be a combination of hope of an afterlife and the comfort that provides, and a possible fear of damnation. Really it could just be a fear of failing to achieve entry to heaven, because even if it were just a void, it wouldn’t be as good as heaven obviously

And speaking in generalities most religions seem to expect belief and acting in a godly manner according to their tenets. And aside from maybe some diet restrictions usually acting in a godly manner with most modern interpretations of religion is very comparable to being a good person in general (being truthful, kind, humble, that kind of stuff). So if the fear of damnation caused someone to be a better person, it would still create some gain for them (since positivity tends to attract itself), and others around

Lol are there that many? I guess Christianity is kind of ezmode, no matter what sin if you feel honest remorse and repent and accept Christ by the end I think you’re golden

I honestly don’t know what other religions have as an unforgivable sin. I think most offer some sort of a lifeline based in repentance and compensation, but not sure. Not an expert in world religions

Yeah it’s pretty messed up, but let’s be realistic. There’s a decent chance their parents aren’t keeping the firewall up to date and those kids have stumbled onto hardcore porn online anyway

Do you know the amount of times a parent brings up to me at work how they have to figure out how to restrict parts of the internet from their tech-savy 10-12ish year old kid because they found their porn viewing history? Usually with incredibly awkward details of that history as the kid tries to melt into the floor from across the table

I don’t say it of course but I’m thinking well it’s a bit late, looks like your kid’s idea of what sex is like is aggressive gangbangs. He’s gonna be surprised to find out the girls IRL are gonna be usually a lot uglier, require actual courtship, and are probably (not always lol) far less noisy in bed. Stuff like that

I feel bad for kids growing up getting their ideas about sex and women from hardcore porn

[Jibartik]

I thnk about how when i was in jr highschool and I basically had to smoke weed to fit in and i was like we're too young to do that stuff!! Gi Joe?!

I imagine kids now basically have to suck dick or or kick someone's ass on the first day of Jr high.

I still remember a few years back talking to this lower functioning and probably gay autistic kid who was about 11ish years old. By lower functioning, he was mentally about age 8. Not the kind of autistic where you can barely tell

Because of his low level of functioning he had basically no filter. I was building rapport talking about what games he played, and like almost all the kids his age at that time he absolutely loved the stupid animatronic horror game Five Nights At Freddy’s, which there have been tons of sequels to. Not as popular now but was crazy popular with the younger kids years ago

He’s going into all these details about the game as I’m trying to shift the conversation to more productive topics and then he asks, loudly in the middle of his school counseling office, “AND HAVE YOU SEEN 5 NIGHTS AT FUCKBOYS?!

Later to his mom I was trying to find a way to bring up, without breaking confidentiality, how “speaking in generalities” it’s helpful to make sure children are using the internet responsibly and appropriately….

In that case, belief would be torment before torment.

Only unless your friend, upon realizing he committed an unforgivable sin, also stopped believing in that religion because that became the new mentally convenient worldview
