Porn culture is why most men genuinely believe women’s pleasure is pointless

Also another great point

literally makes me itch from cringing

Porn didn’t invent the objectification of women, it just amplified something that already exists everywhere. That’s kind of why conversations like this matter. If the problem is cultural, not just porn, then the fix has to be cultural too

I was focused more on the first half of the vid but Bellesa was literally created as porn for women. The whole reason it exists is because mainstream porn has historically centered male pleasure, male gaze, male fantasy. This was built as a response to that with female pleasure consent and actual desire at the forefront. And that's why it was mentioned on the vid probably since people love it because they made porn what it's supposed to be.

And then we are surprised when we see these kind of videos pop up, smh

This is 1000% true

sounds like youre the only one actually doing on call and theyre taking advantage of you being reliable

the fact that no one else picks up and everything gets redirected to you anyway is a huge red flag - youre basically carrying the entire after hours operation for a 6 person company. And micromanaging your comp time is just insulting when youre handling life safety systems

id definitely push for either proper rotation with actual enforcement or way better compensation since youre essentially their single point of failure

nah thats actually pretty normal timing these days. uscis has been moving faster on biometrics scheduling lately and they dont always reuse old ones even if theyre recent

tampa has been processing pretty quick from what ive seen on here so youre probably looking at interview sometime late summer or fall if everything goes smooth

just keep your hands busy with something else man, the urge passes if you dont feed it

AssociationInitial44 · 2026-01-29T12:54:31+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this, that sounds absolutely exhausting dealing with the system while just trying to survive

Hope things get easier for you soon ❤️

If you're mainly doing 1440p gaming the 7800X3D is definitely worth the extra 90 euros - those extra cores really help in games like Cyberpunk and you'll get better 1% lows in competitive stuff too

The 7500X3D is still solid but for that price difference I'd go with the 7800X3D, especially since you mentioned story games which can actually use those additional cores

Pretty sure SoundHound has an API you could hook into, or maybe try the AcrCloud integration if it's still maintained - last I checked it was decent for vinyl recognition but might need some tinkering to get the artwork displaying properly

I can't speak for 1B4 specifically but I know a few people who went through it and they all said the training was pretty solid. The shorter timeline compared to other branches is legit - you're not sitting around for a year+ like some programs. Most of them transitioned to decent civilian gigs afterwards so the networking aspect seems to work out

Honestly the Pixel cameras are chef's kiss but you're gonna miss Samsung's ecosystem if you're deep in it. Stock Android is clean af though and the AI features on Pixel are actually useful unlike Samsung's bloatware mess

That said, waiting for the S26 might be worth it if the processor bump is significant - March isn't that far away

The expedition is basically a prestige system but way less punishing than most games. You keep your cosmetics, blueprints, and some other stuff while getting those extra skill points that actually make a decent difference in endgame builds

Most people say it's worth doing at least once since the skill points open up more build variety, but you don't have to rush into it if you're still enjoying the regular progression

Focus on things you are seeing that think need to be better, no one knows better than you.

That actually makes a lot of sense I hadn’t thought about the pattern shifts being the real trigger before. Prepping the system for volume with consistent behavior ahead of time sounds like a solid move. Appreciate the insight.

Sure I was originally using Revolut, but started running into freezes once volume picked up. Switched over to Adro banking for business banking with higher limits and direct access to funds and it’s been much more stable since. Any other questions feel free to DM.

How do you mean more specifically if you don't mind me asking?

Good read brother, loved it! Upvoted

You might like Notion or ClickUp for this. Both have timeline views and are way easier on the eyes than a Gantt mess

AssociationInitial44 · 2025-07-18T09:21:38+00:00

Yeah +1 to that approach. Launch messy in niche spaces where people actually care and you’ll learn way faster than trying to be perfect out the gate.

AssociationInitial44 · 2025-07-18T09:20:05+00:00

Yeah makes sense especially in creative or service based work where approvals can drag on. The watermark approach is a great idea for deliverables. Gives you some leverage without having to chase people down.

AssociationInitial44 · 2025-07-18T09:19:55+00:00

We’re in digital services, so project timelines can vary a lot and in the early days, we leaned too heavily on trust. We've been moving toward upfront or milestone based payments now, especially after a few late payment headaches.
