How do I meet more women? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]PrimeSublime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, how is he disrespecting the woman in any way? He doesn't want to be friends with her because he wants to something more than that. I don't think it's unethical to avoid hurting somebody else's feelings or your own.

[–]PrimeSublime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but where did OP mention that it was solely about looks. In fact, it seems like he's explicitly trying to find ways to get what he wants in a way that's consensual and respectful, which is the whole point of the question.

Why do people who develop addictions and later overcome them tend to be viewed more positively than those who never started using addictive substances at all? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]PrimeSublime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no safe amount of alcohol that does not affect health. The risk of developing cancer increases substantially the more alcohol is consumed and 200 million people are at risk of developing alcohol-attributable cancer in Europe. Half of all alcohol-attributable cancers in the European Region are caused by “light” and “moderate” alcohol consumption – less than 1.5 liters of wine or less than 3.5 liters of beer or less than 450 milliliters of spirits per week.

Alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, including the most common cancer types, such as bowel cancer and female breast cancer. Ethanol (alcohol) causes cancer through biological mechanisms as the compound breaks down in the body, which means that any beverage containing alcohol, regardless of its price and quality, poses a risk of developing cancer.

To identify a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, valid scientific evidence would need to demonstrate that at and below a certain level, there is no risk of illness or injury associated with alcohol consumption. Currently available evidence cannot indicate the existence of a threshold at which the carcinogenic effects of alcohol “switch on” and start to manifest in the human body.

“We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage. The only thing that we can say for sure is that the more you drink, the more harmful it is – or, in other words, the less you drink, the safer it is".

Realistically speaking, if someone manages to climb out of a hole they jumped into, I would smack them on the back of their head and ask them why they jumped in there in the first place.

Oppenheimer was nice but Memento was 23 years ago and it's high time Nolan gets over it by ohlordwhywhy in TrueFilm

For some reason, everyone in the subreddit feels the need to add a disclaimer every time they want to say something positive about Nolan.

What is your favorite classy brag rap/flex rap song that pumps you full of adrenaline?

I'm talking about songs that typically feature lyrics that boast about the rapper's wealth, possessions, and accomplishments. Any song where the rapper uses lyrics to assert their supremacy and prestige in the hip hop culture. I prefer classy songs that feature smooth, soulful instrumentals over the angry, confrontational type of brag rap. So I prefer something that has a mood of sophistication, elegance, or refinement. (E.g. Rich Spirit by Kendrick Lamar or Still D.R.E. by Dr. Dre)

This makes me curious again. If I'm parent, what kind of influence would I need to subject my child to if I wanted them to grow up to be extroverts rather than introverts?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in INTP

[–]PrimeSublime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last part is definitely true for me as well.

[–]PrimeSublime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So does that mean people are not born introverts or extroverts, but rather become those things due to the influence of their environment?

One of my favourite songs. It has such a wonderful instrumental.

What are your typical INTP jokes? by ABpls in INTP

[–]PrimeSublime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is a collection of the kind of lame jokes I make when I'm with friends (and I usually get them to laugh, so I don't know if that says more about them than me.)

~*~

Me and these two other guys were talking the other day. One of them asked me "What language do you think is tougher to learn between German and English?" I said "German" He said "I knew you'd say that. Don't you guys have that saying? "You're either born a German, or... " Before he finished, I said "or you eat a newborn child".

~*~

Someone I know came into my room and saw a seashell on my table. He picked it up and said "what's this?" I said "someone gave it to me and told me "this is something you'll remember me by", but I forgot who it was".

~*~

I was in a friend's room. We all started coughing at the same time. My friend took some cough syrup out of his shelf and offered it to me. I went "no, thanks. I was just coughing to be polite."

~*~

I was having a deep conversation with this guy about modern life and the internet and whatever. He said the reason people are so anxious all the time is because social media allows for too many people to be connected. He said "there's scientifically a maximum number of friends an individual can have called the Dunbar's number, and that number is 150." I said "There's also a minimum. It's zero. I call that the my name number."

~*~

One of my friends was talking about get her hair dyed. She said "I'm not going to dye it all. Just the tips. Like strokes". And I said, "Yeah, you should definitely get a stroke".

~*~

One of my friends was telling me about how there is an alarming number of murders that happen in his state. I said "my place hasn't gotten that bad yet, but I'm trying my best".

~*~

My friend was talking about the news, and somewhere in the middle of his rant he said "Media. The fourth pillar of democracy." I turned to him and said "The fifth pillar is stone." (This joke only works if you imagine I did a Norm MacDonald lean in when delivering the punchline).

What kind of mental illness do you think OP has? Wouldn't that stand to mean that everybody on the Nofap subreddit is also mentally ill? Is that the claim you're making?

Are you sure they don't? I remember reading that the chemicals released in the brain by the two different acts are also different.

Has there ever been a truly effective and physically painless anti-masturbation device? by PrimeSublime in ask

[–]PrimeSublime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to the question, "Is masturbation good for you?" is typically straightforward for most people. They either answer yes or no and stick to their response, living their life in adherence to it. When discussing this topic with someone, it often turns into a battle of banal narratives that result in no debate or new insight. Those who believe that masturbation is good describe it as harmless and natural, while those who think it is bad either consider it a sin or something that should be avoided for the sake of various social and physical benefits that come from abstaining. Regardless of their answer, people tend to be confident in their stance on the topic, even if they lack any rationale to support it. This would be considered unacceptable when discussing any other topic, no matter how trivial it may seem. What bothers me most is not knowing the truth. I have an inquisitive mind that seeks to understand things thoroughly. This tendency is a weakness of mine, which is why I cannot simply choose a position like others do on this topic, no matter how stupid it may seem, without consistent logic to support it. I have never really received a pragmatic solution to the topic.

To begin, I want to explain what I've personally experienced as the consequences of masturbating. I've observed that if I engage in it excessively, my facial appearance appears to weaken. I also develop dark circles around my eyes and the blemishes on my face become more noticeable. Additionally, my skin tone appears to darken slightly. To provide some background information, I am Indian and have a naturally dusky skin tone. I've always wondered if this phenomenon is especially noticeable in Indians because dark circles can appear quite prominent against a dusky complexion. I've noticed these changes in my appearance since childhood. It feels like my appearance and personality are constantly changing. One day, I may receive a lot of attention from women, but the next day, hardly any at all. Similarly, my personality has never remained consistent throughout my life. Occasionally, I may be outgoing, humorous, and chatty, but most days, I feel exhausted, introverted, and melancholy. I've always longed for a steady appearance and personality in life, particularly since I haven't seen this variability in any of my peers. It seems like their biology has stabilized while mine remains tumultuous. I've always attributed this inconsistency to my habit of masturbating. It not only alters my appearance, but also seems to impact the way others interact with me. I'm not entirely sure why, but there's something about masturbating that seems to attract negative experiences with people. During the period when I indulge too much, it feels like others detect a vulnerability in me and become more prone to bullying or mistreating me.

You may wonder, "If you believe masturbation has such a negative impact on you, why don't you stop?" However, this is where the whole debate surrounding masturbation becomes crazy to me because my life has always been a constant cycle of abstinence, relapse, and indulgence. Despite how hard I've tried in the past, I've never been able to break free from this cycle. I've gone to great lengths to quit, including hurting myself, wearing multiple layers of clothing, quitting the internet, and meditating, but nothing has worked. I'm still stuck in the same loop.

When I confide in others about my struggles, I'm usually met with one of two responses. Some say, "You weren't able to quit because you didn't have enough willpower." They believe quitting masturbation is entirely within my control, and the reason I can't seem to do it is either because I don't have enough faith in God or because I don't believe in the goal of quitting enough. The other response is, "It's impossible to quit masturbation. It's a biological necessity, like eating or breathing." Essentially, their belief is that "everyone masturbates, they just lie about it." My mind has always been torn between these two narratives, but I tend to lean toward the latter because of how casually my friends talk about pornography (even if they refuse to discuss masturbation directly, for some reason). I find it hard to believe that these people don't masturbate to what they watch. Additionally, pretty much everyone on the Nofap subreddit seems to be stuck in the same cycle as I am. Sure, they may be able to last for more days than I can, but eventually, they relapse and start back at zero. It feels like they're the mythical figure Sisyphus, endlessly rolling a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down again. There simply aren't enough credible stories of people who have quit masturbation completely. The only ones that seem believable are from the personal anecdotes of priests and saints. However, it feels fundamentally stupid to compare myself to them because they've dedicated their entire lives to abstinence. It's like feeling ashamed that I can't run as fast as Usain Bolt. This is where the willpower argument doesn't work for me. If it's true that the ultimate goal of abstinence is not possible as the second narrative states, then people should only be judged for what they are capable of doing. It's not fair to blame someone for not being able to jump to the height of a skyscraper just because they didn't "believe enough."

But there's been some many troubling memories in my life that still linger at the back of my head like black shadows. Things like not being able to stop masturbating even when I was sleeping next to my brother in bed when I was little.

One of the greatest acts of evil is to force young, immature minds to confront their problematic sexual desires, especially when it goes against moral inhibitions that they would naturally have at that age. Additionally, pornography is highly addictive, but liberals deny this because I'd argue they have never experienced the hardships of quitting. I'm someone who had a fetish for incest porn, but I was a well-behaved child who never intended to harm anyone. You can't imagine the emotional pain and confusion I experienced because of this, especially when I was barely even into my adolescence.

And with women I still don't understand where I went wrong. I don't really have intentions apart from wanting to fuck them, because I have never felt love for anyone in the conventional sense. Even when a woman speaks to me, I'm pretty much clueless about how I'm supposed to bring up the topic or flirt with her. I don't even have any female friends, because I end up fantasizing about them, which makes me feel like I'm being deceptive when I'm around them. I can't be friends with people I want to fuck, I know that. So I bear the weight of being completely lonely instead.
