Something you believe in so strongly it becomes real.

How is seal meat still an industry? We have no need for seal anything, we aren’t Inuit people living way up north or some shit.

Fucking capitalism will murder anything it can.

She has to find a way to one up her dad for promoting Josh Duggar.

There probably is no separation because to them someone who is willing to be so perverted as to watch porn is also willing to prey on the children. The two are one and the same in their heads.

So you’re looking for the “how can we make this look good” explanation. You aren’t going to find that nonsense here.

Did you read the article with quotes from the guy pushing the bill? They might have thrown CSAM ( CP is inappropriate verbiage) in there as a dog whistle because they want people to believe the “perverts” are coming for their kids. Or it is an attempt to make the bill seem more legitimate. They literally want to cut OK off from social media if it isn’t heavily censored. They want to take your freedom of speech away under the guise of stopping “sexual perversion” they they are certainly guilty of themselves.

Then this wasn’t intended for you.

Sometimes we have to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good.

I don’t mean to put myself in the place of anything - I just meant that the better course of action is to find improvement rather than fault. It’s a situation where being able to put the blame on something does nothing to improve the situation. We’re lonely because there are too many people is all.

There’s a lot of people at fault for things in my life and if I worried about blaming them, I wouldn’t have had the time to get educated and grow as a human so that I could move past the things they are at fault, I was just trying to broaden that idea into something more general.

I am sorry you had to experience that, but it is very insightful and aware to know that your trauma would affect the perception. Most would gloss over that.

Not saying this about you specifically ( I don’t know if you have things about you that you don’t like), but people who have things they don’t like about themselves also have a tendency to see criticism and insults about that particular thing where there are none. Like I used to be really over weight, so anytime anyone made jokes about something being large or about pigs or cows, I would internalize that and assume it was about my fatness because I hated that about myself.

Maybe I am, I really wouldn’t know (my husband would though). If I am I would deal with it iand improve myself nstead of blaming it on others.

If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or “promiscuous”. Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.

Where did I call anyone an incel?

In my experience people aren’t calling lonely men incels, they’re calling men who are wholly unlikable who blame their loneliness and lack of sex on other people incels.

Sorry, I did miss the point. I’ve literally never seen it happen the way you describe it.

If you don’t want to be called an incel, don’t blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don’t stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

It’s not going to work for everyone- personally I wasn’t healthy enough to maintain my own teeth and am trying to save up for dentures at 38 but my teeth have been falling out since I was 26.

If it stops more children from needing dentures as adults it is a resounding success though.

AFAIK she is not wrong. After having a hysterectomy and needing literally everything else fixed up and put back in place my gyno prescribed masturbation so I could relearn how to use all those muscles again.

This is how I take it as well, I assumed I was biased because I am a middle aged person who deeply regrets not taking better care of my skin. Growing up with keratosis pilaris sucked and I wish I would have known back then how easy it is for me to take care of back then rather than being ashamed of my ugly, bumpy skin.

I see no future problems with this ever. Definitely not going to run out of ice any time soon!

/s just in case.
