This is the most obvious “blackmailing bi-curious men” scheme I’ve ever read. Just say it Omeggle with consenting adults.
A lot of the power users in this thread have clearly never heard of “sex sells”.
Also non-zero chance some of these guys might have an association with Mindgeek. Just a hunch, given how easy reddit like sites are to manipulate.
In other news, water is wet.
I was going mostly off how I’ve delt with addictive behavours in my life and how casualised therapists like Healthy Gamer explain how dopamine works.
It’s also worth noting that this user also posted about lacking motivation to even play video games at this point, which if they’re using masterbation as an easy dopamine crutch it could explain where there motivation to do anything else is going.
But yeah, I didn’t prepare academic level citations for my lemmy post I made during a lull at work.
Easy dopamine isn’t a good thing. Dopamine is finite but renewable, so if you run through all your dopamine on easy hits your going to end up having motivational issues.
And if your constantly chasing short term Dopamine hits your brain is going to adjust to seek behavours that give instant gratification over somthing that’s just as rewarding, more productive for your personal or professional life, but takes longer to get that dopamine.
By all means deal with your libido in anyway that doesn’t hurt the people around you, but maybe retiring the wankers cramp for a bit might do you good once in a while.
I’ve been using Nobara for gaming a while now, and it’s certainly a good choice from by experience. It’s a modified Fedora distro that’s designed for gaming.
Eastern Europe is going though it right now. One of my old Polish colleagues fled to the UK becuase the Church is slowly taking over and becoming totalitarian. Even if you have a miscarriage you’d be investigated to see if “it was done on purpose” or not.
(From what I remember, this was just at the tail end of covid)
It does for software becuase when somthing gains enough marketshare it then becomes somthing that businesses start to consider as a general option.
Like the reason Adobe gets by despite the culture for just pirating their software is becuase even piracy gives market share, and Adobe products are so commonly used that corporations feel obliged to use Adobe licences in their projects.
First we’d need to ask what could a cloak or cape provide for the modern man that jackets and coats don’t already do while giving the wearer free movement of their arms?
The cape’s association with wealth and nobility is also hurt by the fact that the upperclasses these days are more interested in appropriating the style of lower class people (I.e. pre-distressed jeans) to try and appear as more down to earth.
It’s crazy to think that people are still making new games on Unity after it’s been made painfully obvious that the company is in the corporate downward spiral of enshittification.
Facts don’t always say what you want them too. Options can easily be curated for on the other hand.
It’s not like remainers ever put up a convincing argument prior to losing the referendum.
Turned voting age on the referendum, visited our predominantly working class school, only ever brought up cheaper phone calls abroad as to why they should vote to remain.
Brexit only had pull out the weakest reasons to leave becuase they were the only ones who took the referendum seriously.
I wonder if they’ll cry “the AI did it!” when the chat bot hallucinates up some random misinformation.
Oni is a game that often ends up as a small cliff note in the greater narrative of Bungie’s history, which is a shame since it’s actually a really good 3D action game that predates the standardisation that Devil May Cry established.
It’s pretty rough around the edges, and hearing about the development hell for this game I can understand why, but if you do end up playing the game you’ll find an incredibly engaging combat system that will keep you locked in well after the game ends.
Better yet, you can use cheats to play as any npc and some of them have fully functioning movesets.
The greatest tragedy is the lack of a multiplayer component. It was planned, and advertised, but Bungie West couldn’t get the networking down before Take Two’s deadline. If there was multiplayer you could be there would be people still playing it today.
However, there is a active modding scene for the game, and with the Anaversery Edition you can easily play Oni on any PC or Linux machine (use wine 2.0, later versions have compatability issues).
It might permanently be over shadowed by Halo CE, but if you like 3D action frames or are a fan if Bungie you owe it a playthough.
I think it’s more to include anything that’s sexually abusive instead of what is just pornograthic.
People will throw insane amounts of money at stuff if you can convince them it’s valuable.
Even more so in these times of economic uncertainty, people are more willing to buy stuff as an investment.
Fair point.
Is the US intelligence that good?
It just seems that in USA it’s self they can know about a guy whose been calling for help because he’s on the verge of shooting up a place and they don’t do nothing about it until they start shooting things up. US intelligence seems incredibly dysfunctional and if they can’t sort things out at home I don’t know how they would figure these things out abroad.
There was the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest. It’s not a whole country going anarchist and no doubt the limited amount of people with the nessisary skill sets to have a functioning society (judging from the food garden they set up) held back the viability of the protest, but in general the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest was widly seen as a wild failure.
It’s an interesting thing to look up on, and I’d definitely recommend anyone who is serious about anarchism to study it for the potential pit falls of an anarchist society that they would need to work out first.
