I feel like I could learn Dutch, my English is already broken

Do you work in devops?

You’re downvoted but there are travel bidets

Into space, till it comes back down as a turd meteor ☄️

Next time just smuggle it in your mouth

For people who are victims of some kind, this is their last resort (think someone being abused or bullied). Or the person thinking this is a narcissist

I know :) I’ve done research in affective psychology. I was connecting the thread from arousal (in general) to sexual arousal. I think my follow up post shows that logic in a pithy one liner

I am not misunderstanding it, heightened emotions = arousal, and sexual stimulation leads to heightened emotions

The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization

In what way though? We see all kinds of sexual and suggestive displays everywhere in media because “sex sells”. I guess you and the people up voting you don’t use Instagram, which is essentially what Twitter is now trying to emulate via this rule change.

How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media.

But it’s not? Every visual form of art has some kind of sexualized content. Go literally anywhere (online or off) and it’s there. The reason why the more overt and pornographic content is behind NSFW is because it’s titillating. Experiencing prolonged bouts of arousal is mentally exhausting and often leads to depression or worsens it, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10813043/#:~:text=Specifically%2C a higher and hyperstable,3%2C7%2C8].

It’s why looking at porn all day is not mentally relaxing, necessarily. Some people also find overt sexual displays distracting as all they want to do is focus without being stimulated into another direction. That said, there are plenty of video games, movies, art forms, music experiences which explore human sexuality. They’re fun because it’s stimulation at a time when you’re in the frame of mind for it.

I feel a lot of times when people talk about “something is like this” what they’re really saying “my experiences show that something is like this”, and that to me just indicates they need to broaden their experiences.

We’re missing sex positivity in modern US society with respect to women’s reproductive rights and acceptance of different sexual orientations or gender identities. We’re not missing sex or sexualized content.

Yes so was mine, read it again

Edit well I made a joke, but I didn’t say anywhere it’s a good one 😅 I’ll try again next time

Pickles need to get out of places they have no fucking business in

“… what are we creating now that will still be valued and discussed hundreds or thousands of years from today?”

Well, there’s very little chance of memorable art to come into existence if artists are not paid fairly. Art takes time and effort, even for geniuses. If someone’s worried about becoming homeless or whatever, they’re not going to focus on their craft at the expense of health and safety, and even if they do what they produce will be suboptimal or unfocused.

So what’s the fair value of such things? I suppose there’s a number of ways to determine that, but it doesn’t matter if the platform that’s hosting an artist is not acting in good faith nor practicing fairness. Really, there should be an open source version of Spotify.

a new version of “Clippy” and it’s just as helpful as the original.

And somehow infinitely less charming

Because that’s how long he’s been trying to solve it

This is my new favorite copy pasta, thanks

Functional and subversive, just how I like my makeup

Can that YouTuber sue them for defamation (oh my god that would be amazing). They should consult a lawyer

That’ll do it, I suppose

Thanks for sharing!

Damn that sucks, did you eat poorly cooked food, or were you sick because of another reason?
