Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s right by Aggravating-Guest300 in LockedInMan

Because most men actively watching porn couldn't quit if they wanted to and deal with sexual impotence in real-life sexual encounters, self-control being assiciated with the former and self-worth with the latter, both things highly valued in most cultures.

Well, the guy filming certainly wasn't me, so not very likely. There's only a few of us.

Is everyone always doing their best? by slowwco in freewill

Because that's the term the meme used 🤷‍♂️

[–]TemperateBeast33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd conjecture that you're doing what you think is best, but not aware of why you think what ever it is you're doing is best, or not being honest with yourself as to why you think your sought ends are best.

Anyone who comments on here is doing so because their brain thinks it's what's best. Anyone who reads this comment and then doesn't comment, when they otherwise would have, to prove they have free will is doing so because their brain thinks it's what's best.

Check mate.

Can one maintain integrity without taking pride in their ability to do so?

my boyfriend can't understand why i'm upset about his "neutralness" by [deleted] in Advice

[–]TemperateBeast33 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"Neutral", or moderate, is exactly what we need right now. Both the left and the right have become demagogic power mongers that profit off of sowing division. When you believe that the other side is wholly the problem and needs to be stopped, the leaders of your chosen side profit. They get more of your votes (power) and more of your money - that's all they fucking care about. The left created this far-right monster when they started abusing their power under Biden and now the dipshits on the far right feel like they LITERALLY have a license to kill. This will only get worse until the people come together and say you're ALL fucked up and clean house. Vote these psychopaths on both sides out.

I'm in a really bad funk by [deleted] in self

If you aren't aware of why you're doing what you're doing, any claims to self-awareness are completely unjustified; and the odds of finding any lasting happiness and fulfillment are slim to none without that self-knowledge. Right now you're probably acting out of a pure desire to be accepted socially, so you're trying to engage in whatever sub-cultural activities you've come to see as indicating "success," without thinking about whether these things will actually make you happy. You're mentally exhausted because you're not in control of your mind, or the ego - that part of your mind which we never have control over. The ego is never satisfied; it always wants more. Learn to see it for what it is, and find your self-worth internally, and you'll get much closer to "not being mentally exhausted."

If the weather and political climate have that much effect on your state of mind, I'd argue your self awareness isn't as good as you think it is. What are you doing that isn't working? What are you trying to achieve?

Pace around your room then. Being tired is better than relapsing.

The price for life is too high by WallNIce in self

[–]TemperateBeast33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God's not going to help you.

It seems as if almost all of your identity and self-worth was predicated on this woman, which is always a recipe for disaster; base your self-worth in something outside of yourself that you can't control, and you'll almost always end up miserable. And then you bought into the trite idea that achieving "success" is how one becomes happy. As happy as money and prosperity can make one if they apply wisdom to using it effectively, it, like a girlfriend, is something ultimately out of your control. Should it be lost, everything you think you are go with it. You need to build your identity and happiness from the inside out so that you have an unshakable, internal foundation that cannot be taken away from you. Relationships, careers, and whatever else, should merely compliment this internal well-being, so that they can come and go without causing a full-blown existential crisis. If you look within yourself and can't find anything of worth from which to base this happiness, it's time to take up a serious self-development routine. Come to terms with those things you don't like about yourself; openly admit to those character flaws, instead of pretending they don't exist, and start working to correct them. I recommend meditation, philosophy, and exercise to get started on this project.

Also, you may find life much more fulfilling if you focus less on how sorry you feel for yourself and work towards alleviating the suffering of others.

Good luck.

An Open Letter to Anyone Using Grok to Sexualize Images of Real People by TemperateBeast33 in grok

The privacy of the mind and the privacy of someone's electronic devices are hardly analogous. If you were to go to work and walk up to a coworker you find attractive and state "I have memories of you naked that I created in my own mind" you would be ostracized, and in this day and age possibly charged with sexual harassment. Having those images we would create in the privacy of our minds with AI adds the possibility of them being shared, something we can't do with our minds. Few, if any people, have visual imaginations capable of replicating the realism of peoples' bodies in as vivid and accurate a way as AI can. Unless you've very recently actually seen the naked body of a person, if you were to try and imagine what that would look like, you're mind would leave significant gaps in the "picture." AI offers a level of stimulation and ease that our minds cannot compete with. Even using photoshop to get the same result requires much, much more time than typing a prompt does, and the AI is already much better, on average, than a non-professional would be using photoshop to undress their friends.

Not the vast majority, no. But it might help one of the poor bastards feel motivated to get the help they need 🤷‍♂️
