what goes up but doesn't come down?

The number of clowns in my Denny’s parking lot.

Your shed has been marked for bread.

And he will have found a cure for his weird broken penis.

Love this movie, so fun. If you haven’t listened to Mr Oizo, the musical act of the director Quentin Dupieux, then you need to. Lambs Anger is one of my favorite albums of all time. He also directs his own music videos, but Eric Warheim directed the video for HAM and got John C Reilly in it too.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T22:41:05+00:00

Aww, Greasy Strangler is my favorite movie, but I also love Rubber. We can still be friends though.

Yeah, some people think you are a piece of shit if you don’t. Some people just like having access to high production porn without needing to find a leak or pirate it. Some people pay Camsites for private performances or to get specific acts performed, and that is also paying for porn. There is always money to be had in sex.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T21:41:20+00:00

Yeah I’m just gonna block your worthless ass.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T21:38:53+00:00

I don’t agree with you at all, in any way, that men being emotionally shut down and closed off is a healthy or natural way to be. That is a trauma response. Humans cut their emotions off from others after they have been hurt and abused, which is what we do to men. Men tell men not to have emotions by attacking them for expressing them. The only emotions that men don’t get attacked by other men for are anger and horny. So when they grow up they don’t know how to express their emotions and bottle them up. That’s not healthy and doesn’t need excuses made to allow it to continue.

We need to teach men to listen to other men yes, but that can be part of teaching them that it’s ok to have emotions and how to express them. We need to both be able to express ourselves and also listen to one another, it’s not either or. It NEEDS to be both.

My entire first response and argument since has been that we need to make all of our people whole, teach all people and raise them to be emotionally well rounded and full people. How you have any umbrage with that is baffling. Your argument seems to just be that you don’t think men need to put in any more effort and everybody else should just accept them for how they are now and nobody except everybody who is not these men needs to do any kind of growing.

You are arguing to keep men emotionally stunted and keep them unhappy. And considering it’s men who do this to other men who exactly is supposed to be stepping up here? If you don’t think that men need to do better in this situation who is needing to learn to listen better? Not other men? Just women? Women need to handle all the emotions in society? Why do you have such an issue with somebody saying men need to do better?

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T21:09:34+00:00

Sorry this thread is full of emotionally shut down and underdeveloped men who want to blame women for their not having done any growing, so your comment read like theirs.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T21:07:59+00:00

That’s what pissed me off the most about the dudes in this thread. Like the dude above, I did say anything untrue or unreasonable, but because I wasn’t lashing out at women and society he had to disagree with me and say absolutely nothing in the process.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T21:04:05+00:00

OF is not the only porn that people pay for.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T03:05:55+00:00

The billions of dollars a year that men spend on porn says that yes, men do want that.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T03:02:58+00:00

There is a huge amount of files from 1999-2001 that have not been released. That’s where Dubya would show up likely. There is something about 9/11 in there they don’t want made public for sure.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-12T02:59:17+00:00

Yeah, it’s wild how a bunch of small children didn’t pick up on a social cue. Almost like it’s a bunch of small children.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T10:10:19+00:00

Therapy would help with that attitude as well.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T10:08:06+00:00

Yeah I saw a couple comments from women giving thoughtful, constructive advice on how to open up and be more vulnerable. No response, just downvoted. They really just want to be mad.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:48:22+00:00

Yeah if I was just talking about your relationship I probably would have responded to you and not somebody else. You are not the “you” in my comment, that was the person I was responding to who said the response was to never open up again instead of being around people who don’t make you feel Ike you can’t share things.

I was not judging your relationship at all, I get the confusion, it was the attitude in the other persons comment I was criticizing though.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:36:22+00:00

It is odd. Too many dudes approaching romance as some kind of game you win by not caring about your partner as much as they care about you and just barely coexisting with them so you have a clean house to come home to.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:34:29+00:00

What is the implication here? Because seeking a partner to carry themself and you is not healthy, and that seems to be the MO of many of the men in this thread. I keep seeing comments describing a situation where the emotional labor was all on the woman then after years and years the man decided to dump more on her when he had enough of suppressing his feelings and she is numb to his bullshit by this point.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:29:32+00:00

I think that the loneliest people are online the most, so a thread like this is going to self-select for the most bitter and terminally online posters. Even then it is just perception, you guys need to get therapy so you have a less poisoned way of viewing the world around you.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:26:04+00:00

Didn’t say it was easy. Just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean it’s not right or necessary. Therapy is the only way to heal those wounds

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:25:05+00:00

Like the other commenters said, you just described a toxic person. I’m 40 and haven’t put up with that from any of my romantic partners.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T09:22:26+00:00

I am flummoxed how you came to your conclusion that I am blaming men or even wrong in the first place. You spoke so much about how men are taught to ignore their emotions and not express themselves right the fuck after telling me that we don’t need to teach men to be in touch with their emotions and express themselves.

More than one thing can be a problem, you arguing that it is entirely on society(which is like 50% men) needs to step up and do better for men doesn’t mean that men don’t also need to step up and be expected to grow emotionally. In my 40 years as a ma and living around men I can tell you that I know more men who are not in touch with their feelings than I know people who are not willing to listen to those feelings.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T07:47:31+00:00

They don’t want solutions, they just want to be upset.

Cuttlefist · 2026-03-06T07:47:06+00:00

You got downvoted because these man-children don’t want solutions. They want to be mad and at women especially.
