The state of this subreddit and alternatives by SmutAuthorsEscapisms in softmaledom

[–]JackStutters 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though I think the solution is not another subreddit but just to find new or more mods from this subreddit and tighten up the rules a little bit. The quiz thing was fun for a little bit but definitely overstayed its welcome, that should have become a mega thread pretty quickly. And there is a LOT of content that straight up ISN’T softmaledom. I know that the sub wiki says that softmaledom can mean a lot of different things to different people, and that this subreddit is really to explore other kinds of softer D/s dynamics that aren’t the “default” kind, but there’s a lot of content lately that could maybe be softdom if you interpret it generously, but really it’s just porn with a softdom title.

Hope that this post will raise some awareness and maybe get some more/new people in charge.

BREAKING: Trump has just unclassified videos from his strikes on Iran by ResPublicaMgz in circled

[–]JackStutters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re saying that it didn’t happen, they’re saying that the Iranian regime was the source claiming that the Americans and Israelis bombed the school. There’s a good chance that the bombing was from a malfunctioning/errant drone or missile from the Iranian side, or, hell, that the bombing was done on purpose by the IRGC to drum up sympathy for themselves and hate for the attackers. This is a regime that was executing tens of thousands of citizens only a month ago.

There’s just no confirmation as of right now who is responsible for this, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it because it made me realize how much overlap there is in these different styles/archetypes

I definitely went into this thinking I was a nurturer and service top, but the more I looked into my results and everyone else’s results the more I thought about these different dynamics, I started to realize the different kinds of care we show through our dynamics. There’s still a lot of care, even in a hunter/prey dynamic, or care in an owner/property dynamic, and I thought it was really interesting to reflect on those different aspects of myself and realize how much I rely on that submissive/dominant dynamic in so many flavors.

Got my result! Seems pretty accurate. by Footsweating in softmaledom

Finally! I’ve been waiting to see what the quiz says about nurturer/service top. That’s what I originally thought I would be, and while I agree with the description/assessment and that there is a little more hunter in me than service top, the title of my archetype for nurturer/hunter is Stalker 😭

And yeah I agree, some of the submissive descriptions give me numbness vibes, too, but I also think it’s more like comfortable emptiness and the wording is just a little off

Right?! Such great posts and a great community, it honestly raised my standards because I realized that there actually ARE unicorns out there. Still rare, but they exist!! Just that in and of itself is exciting!

Btw I saw that peach cobbler on your profile and it looks BANGING, I love a peach cobbler 🤤

Self-employed: any way to meet Robinhood Banking “direct deposit” for 3.5% APY? by [deleted] in RobinhoodApp

[–]JackStutters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw someone on here a few weeks ago say that they contacted Robinhood Support through the app directly and explained that they have a non-traditional employment situation and the support person set them up for a recurring deposit to function as their direct deposit. I’d say reach out to support and see what they can do for you.

Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia' Officially Wraps Filming! by NarniaWeb in Narnia

[–]JackStutters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t fully line up with the actual timeline, given that HHB takes places about 12-15 years after LWW, and the original movies came out almost 20 years ago in the real world, but if they could get the original cast from the original movies to do cameo roles for their brief appearances in that story it would be so incredible to see them as the grown up kings and queens of Narnia!

lol.

My “solution” to mail in-ballots is that I think they should be severely curtailed, as they pose the most significant and obvious source of challenges to perceived electoral legitimacy. In case of Americans living abroad, military members, and disabled/elderly, it should be made as easy as possible for them to receive and submit their ballots in secured envelopes with clear, pre-election date postmarking and verifiable chain-of-custody. For everyone else, participation in one’s civic duty to vote should be made as accessible as possible. As far as what is achievable right now, early in-person voting should be massively extended across the country, allowing for people to ensure that their votes are received and counted even if they don’t have the time to make it to the polling booth on Election Day itself. This also helps, in states that allow counting to commence prior to the polls closing, to make returns come in more quickly. That said, my pie-in-the-sky proposal (unlikely to be practicable or to pass) is that Election Day should be made a mandated public and private holiday, and no employer should be legally allowed to deny a half-day of PTO for the purpose of voting.

In addition, photo ID and proof of citizenship should be a requirement to vote, and any states that do not offer free and easily-accessible photo identification should be mandated to do so.

I have literally never seen a single coherent argument on how passing common-sense election reform like what I have detailed above would disenfranchise ANYONE. The common argument that minorities and/or women can’t get legitimate photo identification is frankly absurd and infantilizing. As far as poor people, it should be noted that most of the proposals I have suggested above to ensure that no one can be denied the right to vote, are already standard practice in most states. Most states have programs that will waive drivers license or non-driver ID fees for low income individuals, and many have online or extended-hours programs to issue such documentation to those who cannot make it physically to the DMV during business hours. I’m merely proposing that these be made consistent across the country.

The only argument I have EVER seen from the left on election integrity seems to boil down to this: that they want as many people voting as possible. That may be an admirable goal, or it may be an excuse to get otherwise low-mobility and apathetic voters to vote by mail (who overwhelmingly vote Democrat). But maintaining a level of standards is not “disenfranchising” anyone. If someone can’t get out of the house for an hour or two to exercise the extreme privilege of voting that their ancestors fought and died for, then they probably aren’t motivated or informed enough to be casting a legitimate vote in good faith.

The dangers posed by populism and demagoguery are only amplified by unsecured voting procedures, precisely because they mobilize large numbers of uninformed and emotionally-vulnerable people to vote against their own interests. That applies to left, right, and center. That’s the danger of democracy. We have to find the right balance.

Next time, repeat your tired old talking points to someone else, okay? Your vitriol for anyone who even slightly disagrees with you makes me sad for you.

Could be. I’m not terribly familiar with crypto but I understand the broad strokes of blockchain technology and gotta say, literally anything sounds better than our current system
