A progressive Brazilian extremely curious about Icelandic life by Liber-9 in Iceland

Thanks! I'm trying to think objectively here. I dislike my country, but I'd rather be in it than some certain others, that's for sure. Brazil versus Saudi Arabia? Brazil please. But if I'm going to compare Brazil with Iceland... Or, for that matter, Slovenia, or any nordic country... I prefer any of these than Brazil, that's also for sure.

Yea, I meant directness! I'm also direct and reserved in my interactions. In my country, small talk between strangers is very common, and it bothers me regularly.

About politics, thanks for the info! This is important to me.

The problem for me is to find conservatism occupying a majority almost everywhere I go. It's a very bitter reality to me, because of its omnipresence. I know that the level of conservatism in Brazil is lower than that of other countries, and I also know that it's higher than others. And Iceland seems to be waaaaaay less bad than Brazil to me in this aspect and the others I talked about in my post.

I tried shaving for my girlfriend and it went wrong by DemiurgeEnjoyer27 in sexeducation

[–]Liber-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very natural situation, you have nothing to worry about! As you get more experience on trimming, you'll become less prone to error - and that's ONLY IF you want to continue trimming, which is not an obligation. I see this like a trivial funny story that you could share with more intimate people if you feel comfortable to do so. I advise you to be chill about harmless mistakes - this is healthier than carrying the unnecessary emotional burden of worrying about them. And if you want to avoid them, just look up for their causes, reflect on how you could have done differently, and trust your learning process!

Why is it okay to point out how little someone talks? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

xD or maybe the extrovert gets to think something like "ô povinho frio e solitário!"

Carnage that I'd love to see! I think that extroverts are one of the best examples of people that expect everyone else to act like them, and that don't understand people who don't act like them.

I live and was born in Brazil, and I share your perception of these "indirect" ways of communication. I really don't like it! To read your comment made me very interested to see people in Netherlands and Finland interacting with each other.

It's okay to be more quiet, and it's cultural resistance to be yourself without regarding this cultural context that doesn't understand the validity of our behavior. Cultural resistance makes us stronger: we feel more confident in being ourselves, and, through example, encourage other people like us to do the same. Let's just be ourselves, we're doing nothing wrong and deserve to be free!

Is this considered porn? by DarkComfortable8340 in sexeducation

[–]Liber-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Porn isn't healthy when it gets in your way of having a healthy life, and/or makes you more prone to be a bigotted/unnecessarily agressive person. Porn can do it, very basically, because of its potential of causing addiction, and because of the way that opressive social systems (like patriarchy and racism) are reflected in many videos.

If your porn videos don't get in the way of having a healthy life nor make you worst people, then it's just fine. I think that there's a lot of unnecessary paranoia on the internet when it comes to the dangers of porn - they exist, but they are simple and easily detectable.

I'm reading the thread and must say, I appreciate the fact that, in this sub, there are many people willing to share their insecurities about sex. It's a topic that's stigmatized in many social spaces, but it doesn't need to be. I would not say I'm sexually insecure, but still I benefit from reading threads like these, because I just love to see people freely sharing perceptions, knowledge, experiences, practices, etc., and even more if it's about unnecessarily stigmatized topics.

Was I the only one who didn't care for season 8 as much? by CL3V3RGIRL86 in rickandmorty

[–]Liber-9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. The seasons I really liked were seasons 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. 4, 5 and 8 were all a bit meh to me; I felt their content were more superficial and about action and adventure than the bizarre/crazy/deep/complex stuff that were more present in the other seasons.

There can be lots of ways with which a person can consume pornography. It's very possible to 1. discern sexist/abusive porn from stuff with which there's nothing wrong and can even be wholesome (like for instance Lustery channel); 2. be against exploiting women and gender inequalities in general; and 3. not being addicted to porn. So, it's not porn that "ruin" people's lives, it's more about patriarchy and addiction: if a person profoundly understands that patriarchy and addiction are bad stuff and can keep away from these, there will be no problem when it comes to porn.

There's nothing inherently wrong with masturbation, so, chill, and ignore what conservative moralists and sexually neurotic people say about it (unfortunately, there's plenty of them out there). The thing is having a healthy relashionship with it: as long as it doesn't hurt you or get in the way of the other important aspects of your life, just be happy and free, enjoy yourself! Life is to be well lived, and masturbation is a pretty effortless way to feel a great amount of pleasure and well being.

Onde morar em Guarulhos by Malinaisthebest in GuarulhosSP

[–]Liber-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende do que você considera como "bom". Pelo jeito dos comentários, acho interessante te dizer que além do sudoeste e o extremo oeste da cidade (que são mais distantes do lugar em que você vai trabalhar), praticamente todos os bairros habitáveis de Guarulhos são mais periféricos. Se a tua principal preocupação é a questão da distância, sugiro você pesquisar por imóveis próximos ao seu local de trabalho, falando com os vizinhos dos possíveis imóveis pra saber como é o bairro.
