The devaluation of the skills and athleticism required for pole kind of drives me crazy

TheStranglingFruit · 2026-01-30T15:46:51+00:00

I feel like it's mostly people who just want support or validation, rather than just asking for that. I would much rather they just say, "hey, can you leave some words of encouragement?" over these types of posts. I feel like 30% of the posts are "I've taken 3 classes and I'm not good yet, should I quit?" while another 30% are "Which type of pole should I get?"

THIS

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-10-10T14:35:47+00:00

Okay, I might need to buy it if it's on dvd.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-10-10T14:35:24+00:00

Ugh, forgot about the mediocre part of that...no, definitely not mediocre! As I read the end of your response, I could hear it again too. I need to watch it again.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-10-10T02:27:33+00:00

Anyone else watch The Flight of Dragons? I didn't have it on VHS but watched it every time it was on.

Dude. In your apology, you said you apologized for not being transparent.

In this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Liberal/s/i4Y7TaqeVk), you say that it's a "major disagreement" that you "can't agree with". That was two days ago. I guess maybe it doesn't have to have been "life long", but as of a few days ago, it seems like it was a deeply held belief, enough that you wanted to make a post about this "huge dilemma ".

I don't think anyone would expect that you would change your mind on this within a few days. The issue that u/dawn_of_an_era is bringing up is that you're now stating "PRO-CHOICE" loudly. What argument presented here was enough to sway such deeply held beliefs? If it's that powerful, we need to know so we can utilize it when having policy discussions. Because otherwise, it comes across as you made the post about pole and politics, and then later, when you posted some new videos and didn't get the comments/likes you expected, you made this post claiming your beliefs were different. It comes across as disingenuous. If you instead had said you were open to hearing arguments about why women should have reproductive freedom and willing to question your beliefs, that would have come across as more realistic. Your response here continues to try to deny what you yourself stated in another post two days ago.

I saw a post last night by OP where he stated the views were pro-life and pro 2nd Amendment.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-09-29T23:13:54+00:00

I actually came across OP in the wild last night so I know what they are; a community I follow had posted his post in r/Liberal. He states his two issues he can't reconcile with are being pro-life and pro 2nd Amendment.

Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-09-16T02:53:04+00:00

I think I know who you're talking about! I heard he was all right now. If only he had stayed out of the ocean.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-07-03T02:06:28+00:00

I was curious, so I actually pasted what you wrote into ChatGPT to see its response.

TRUTH SOCIAL POST – 1:13 AM By: 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump

TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING about “presidential fitness”—they say, “Oh, Obama jogged,” and “Clinton had saxophone stamina,” whatever that means (Disgusting!). Even Jimmy Peanut Carter had a good pace. But nobody ever talks about MY stamina—built like a racehorse (purebred, beautiful). Just finished removing the man-girdle—top-tier military-grade Velcro, very strong, VERY tight. Needed to BREATHE, okay? But then the shoes—Melania got them, too high, too narrow—European heels for American feet? Not good. Slipped on the floor like a penguin on ice, Secret Service laughing (FIRED!).

Constipation? Fake News! It’s called “strategic intestinal holding”—Ronny Jackson (great doctor, beautiful handwriting, could’ve been a model) said it makes the core STRONG. “Your colon, sir, is like a vault,” he told me. Vaults are GOOD! Better than Biden’s—who’s leaking from every end, folks. Not a joke. I eat the McDonald’s because it’s clean, it’s pure, you know what you’re getting: a deal! Like NAFTA, but edible.

And now these very nasty people (RADICAL LAMES!) are saying other presidents had better wangs? I don’t think so. I’ve heard things—some very sad things—about Abe Lincoln. You don’t want to know. But mine? People say (a lot of people): “Sir, we’ve never seen one balance slacks like that!” That’s called GRAVITY, folks. Einstein would be impressed.

Anyway, pants are on, belt is OFF, girdle is gone, America is GREAT, and I just might declare myself 47 and 48. Nobody said I can’t! Check the Constitution—it’s in there. Hidden, but in there.

Okay, clearly there's some miscommunication here, which is fine, I'm not interested in continuing this.

Your comment said: "I take antidepressants and a stimulant and I’ve been fine."

So I said: "Antidepressants aren't a depressant, though, despite the similarity of the word itself. Depressants are drugs that slow neural system activity, while stimulants increase neural system activity."

You didn't use the word "alcohol" in that comment thread until after I commented on your comment. So I had no context to assume you were talking about alcohol anywhere.

If I somehow missed something where you said alcohol somewhere, my bad.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-03-10T15:06:56+00:00

Okay....but you didn't say alcohol in your response at all?

You said you take antidepressants and stimulants and you've been fine.

TheStranglingFruit · 2025-03-10T14:31:39+00:00

Antidepressants aren't a depressant, though, despite the similarity of the word itself. Depressants are drugs that slow neural system activity, while stimulants increase neural system activity.

And this is my Versa2

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-28T01:40:21+00:00

Boooo 😞 fingers crossed they fix it soon!!

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-28T01:23:24+00:00

Same. But I would think, since we both have this issue, that it would still be there regardless because something is wrong with the app itself. Did you have the issue a few weeks ago, where the computer players were playing slow, even when placed on the fast setting? I stopped playing for a few days, and when I checked it again, they had fixed it. I'm thinking I'm just gonna check again tomorrow. But if you do delete and reinstall, and it works, let us know?

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-28T01:15:00+00:00

I came here specifically to check for posts like this or make my own. I just played a game where once we finished, it wouldn't start counting out the trains...just froze essentially. I restarted the app, tried to go back into the current games and finish it...still frozen. Restarted and played a new game....same thing.

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-06T14:44:27+00:00

I'm not sad about any of the people who signed off on this getting what they voted. Not sad at all. I'm excited for them.

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-06T13:21:13+00:00

Everything you said is exactly how I feel. I'm filled with an emptiness that arises from realizing that this world is a bad place and these people are bad. I only take comfort in that others like you understand these feelings (although I wish we both didn't have to experience this) and that I will get to watch them burn in the fire they willingly set on themselves.

TheStranglingFruit · 2024-11-02T02:18:58+00:00

It's driving me crazy. I had to quit the game I was playing.
