the i dont care about politics anymore thread

I feel like.. River Tam.

Sometimes just being in a room with someone I start seeing like thousands of different ways to kill or disable them. Like I get this download. Usually around really bad people. Proximity matters more than visual contact. Like they could be right on the other side of a wall. I have had to just walk away so many times to get enough distance. Then it's fine if they are like 100 ft away unless I'm focusing on them with intent. Then I can get the same thing from afar. Like if I was using ironsites and reaching out to feel.

It's really crappy. And I always feel bad knowing bad ppl are like running lose cuz I am super heck'n lawful. My feelings have never been wrong about ppl wanting to do harm to others it's such a shitty feeling. Ill see in the news.. or the police will be at their house days later... every damn time.. And the irony is I really never want to do harm ever even to these ppl. Even tho I get all that downloaded. I don't enjoy seeing and feeling all those ways of hurting someone it is really terrible.

My family is so stupid... they really cannot understand.. it's like they are a different species entirely...this can't be genetic unless I'm a test tube baby or something.


Yesssss it's insane. It's totally crazy. Wacko. NUTZ. Nothing good can be said of it.

The worst is some major world or local event like a riot or protest or like a bunch of people focusing all their hate in unison because then I can feel it all around me and it's like I'm hearing everyone and I can be totally alone... then it's really hard to drown out. It has to be like 10s of thousands in unison tho. Ukraine has been really weird. A lot of people actually want to do the right thing so it sorta balances out. Like morality. Good. Righteousness, G-dlyness is the key.

Nice direction academia is heading in

Not only is porn in general not healthy, it has been shown to cause huge strife in relationships to the point of ending some (due to someone’s over-indulgence in it pushing their partner away), but also can be extremely addictive and destructive especially to the minds of youth

Also, I wonder if this college realizes that at the very least some of the guys are FOR SURE going to be jerking off in that class? If they are ok turning their classroom into a seedy porn movie theater and pretending that indecent exposure laws don’t exist, more power to them I guess. I just feel bad for the janitor who has to come and clean up after

Sad direction we are heading in. Figures it only happens in a “gender studies” major. Have fun finding work with your useless degree

Tbf. If you're going to critique it. You should be familiar and able to analyze it. Much like in the Hollywood film industry breaking down camera angles and alignment along the golden rules and stuff.

That course is acknowledging there are issues with it. As well as abuse. They do kinda cop out a little "accepting how integral is in America's cultural identity"... rather than pushing back on that a little by saying "it is detrimentally integrated" or whatever verbiage.

How to successfully peddle an addictive vice? Sort of like a class on how to best sell cigarettes? Where all the students try smoking some each day during class

Oh. That is a fair point.

I read the fine print as "how to understand". It will most likely just be used to make money tho. Cuz that is how we do it. Can't do anything without profit n stuff.

It's more profitable to sell ur body on screen than farm goods food or care for others or raise children... so...

Technically if u can make good money tho u can pay other ppl to raise children so in capitalism porn may indirectly be the most efficient way to pay for childcare.

I took human sexuality in college because I heard it was interesting. I dropped it early on because I had taken too many electives at the time and had to trim some fat

A study of porn’s development with a lot of focus put on the destruction it has done to relationships, our youth, and people’s addictive personalities could be interesting

I think it works as an art form the same way alcohol fits into the (revised) food pyramid. It is a net negative, it’s just a matter of how much overall health you want to compromise with the negative for short term gain

That’s my view of it

Alcohol in its present industrial form is cringe.

Alcohol in its past forms was integral to keeping a healthy gut biome. Preserving food, having safer liquids (low Alcohol content filtered).

Well the analogy was more for brain health. There are many different things that provide a short term dopamine fix at the cost of reduction of overall brain health, and I think porn fits into that category

But I know a lot of people disagree. I’m personally more interested to hear from people who can truthfully say “I am in a fulfilling long-term relationship that is in no way hindered by my porn viewing” rather than some single shut-in who thinks porn plays no role in their loss of interest in relationships (not saying this is you though)

Yeah Alcohol does interfere with the brain. Even in the context of Tudor England.

Porn is horrible and it's eroding, undermining our civilization. Absolutely no doubt about it.

In regards to porn, deprivation creates motivation. Deprivation of sexual stimulation creates motivation to seek out intimate relationships with others. Porn reduces or completely removes deprivation, depending on the amount of use. This works against someone being motivated to look for relationships, and may be a large contributing factor in the growing number of young people who have no interest in these

Someday years down the road if it continues to get worse, we may as a nation realize this
