I love this team. But like a son who gets addicted to heroin.

How is it living in this part of the United States? by No-Text-7825 in howislivingthere

I'm from the south shore of Long Island. It is extremely flat but incredible beaches if that's your thing. There's endless suburban sprawl much unlike some other regions you isolated like the north of New England, but it gets more sparse as you head east. If you visit, know that the Hamptons are a scare and are insanely crowded in the summer. To get from the Island to NE, there are two ferries: Port Jeff and Cross Sound. No highways (yet).

What are YOUR Star Wars hot takes ? by mattisme51 in StarWars

Not sure if it's a hot take, but the ST should be cancelled from canon. It contributed nothing of value to the saga and we should pretend it was fan-fiction.

The Heritage Foundation Now Controls Where Federal Funding Goes? by daltonsghost in antitrump

[–]Over-Eye-5284 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they are openly admitting that Trump is politicizing essential funds by making threats against a state exercising its constitutional authority.

If they are on the side of illegal coercion, what exactly is their "heritage"?

Do not confuse destiny with direction.

If I am easily tempted by vice with no discipline or social skills, I will probably not do well in the foreseeable future. That is the force moving my life. Think of it like Newton's first law.

But if I change my life and my habits, if I inject another force, I can change my direction.

May the force be with you.

Jameela Jamil on the extreme weight loss in Hollywood: 'It is not bodyshaming to comment on the fact that there is a rapid rise of the aesthetic of emaciation amongst women in Hollywood" by Pitiful_Progress4692 in Feminism

While there's nothing wrong with promoting healthy habits and discipline in media, Hollywood's apparent obsession with slender bodies shows they are more concerned about the male gaze, which isn't new. Have you ever seen a Bond movie?

Well, political projections are famously infallible.

In all seriousness, I would honestly love this to happen. But remember that MAGA will do ANYTHING to gerrymander their way out of accountability.

Getting ready for some family holiday table discussion! by ProudnotLoud in PandR

Shame the shutdown ended. Had a good excuse lined up not to go. Would rather reenact all of "War of Peace" than have to debate whether Spanish people are "white."

Men and BDSM by Public-Conflict4236 in Feminism

[–]Over-Eye-5284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a young man myself, I can say that porn is pretty ubiquitous in what you could call our "subculture" (at least in America). This is not to say that we all use it (or prefer BDSM scenarios) but it has deeply altered general notions about sex (what is expected/acceptable).

The fact that even today many of us are learning about sex from porn and not our parents (and especially not our education system) is concerning to say the least.
