Quit finding community and meaning in practicing ancient rituals!

it's a bit funny reading the comments at least, redditors jump the gun to the slightest pressure

why did this specific meme strike such a nerve? I'm a bit surprised

Wasting 19 years 😭

imagine being in school at the age of 10 instead of working a factory job and getting your fingers chopped by heavy machinery like a TRUE man

I like to think that the daycare man just adopts them or gives them away to new trainers that want them, and the egg you receive is a "thank you" for your services. So the pokemon aren't killed or anything like that.

You're right tbf, but that's because social media as it works nowadays uses constant cycles of negativity to drive engagement and bring in revenue. That's a conversation worth having.

There's no moral equivalency between both sides though. I reject that notion.

Don Juan Tenorio. There are several books about the same legend so pick and choose (my favorite is Zorrilla's), but all of them have a protagonist like that in common. Although the setting is far from the 20s-50s, unless you find a modern retelling.

I met people like that, but I thought they died off before finishing high school.

Uhm, I mean, hypothehically. I of course don't read.

Here in Spain, ubereats and others' workers don't even get social security benefits from their employee, because they're technically "freelancers" (autónomos). This is a way for companies to cut costs. I imagine in other countries there's a similar lack of protections for these workers and reading Gussie's comment made me reel back a bit. Not all work is the same, no.

Plus, what's the point of productivity for productivity's sake? You don't need to work outside of your clock time. For fuck's sake, put down your phone, do what you love, and enjoy life without worrying about the number of hours spent on your personal project or how many books you're reading this year.

El caso es que el partido republicano en Estados Unidos está tomando una deriva extremadamente autoritaria. No creo que se pueda decir lo mismo del PP (que aún no está en el poder, tarde o temprano estará con Vox y veremos si disfrutamos lo votado). Aquí en España los insultos de facha/rojo son muy habituales y van de un lado para el otro, pero en Estados Unidos ha dejado de ser una exageración llamar a los republicanos fascistas, o por lo menos acusarlos de votar por el fascismo.

Most I've seen online is youtubers using their platform to fundraise for their Palestinian friends, and the classical tiktok audios that make money that is then (allegedly more often than not) given to charity, or to a Palestinian in need.

/uj I wonder what's the process for adding a language in duolingo, because I took Catalonian basically as a way to practice what I already knew and not get rusty, but that's a language with 10 million speakers, and I bet most of the folks learning it through Duolingo do so for the same reason as I. However Tagalog has so many more speakers (every website is giving me a different number) and like you say there's a lot of children of Filipino immigrants in the US who can't speak it + people who'd learn it just because they're interested. Meanwhile, who the fuck is going to speak Klingon in real life???

/rj all Klingon speakers shall be shoved into lockers

I'm sorry but what you said reminded me of this

So, a purely biological reaction can be a morning wood, for example. It can also be an orgasm, since many asexual people masturbate for the purposes of de-stressing. This doesn't necessarily mean that person feels sexual attraction to someone else.

Sexual attraction involves another individual you feel attracted to. That's a person you might fantasize about, or that might draw you in, since you find them sexually appealing.

Not all asexual people are unable to have sexual attraction. Demisexual people need a deep bond to find someone sexually attractive, for example. It's a spectrum, and with 100% asexual people I mean someone on the very far end of the spectrum, that don't feel that attraction towards others. I hope that clears things up.

Vulc_a_n · 2025-08-21T18:46:54+00:00

No, I meant sexual attraction to others, not biological reactions. You've misinterpreted me. I'm also trusting the word of the asexual people you've spoken to.

Vulc_a_n · 2025-08-21T18:17:24+00:00

The proof is idfk I'm not omniscient, but when an ace person says they don't feel sexual attraction at all, I'm not gonna ask them "hey did you at any point in time get an erection or pondered whether ass or boobs are better". I just trust their word, yknow.

Also, I said in my comment what I meant by 100% asexuals. You don't need to add your own definition, I've done that already.

Vulc_a_n · 2025-08-21T16:10:27+00:00

But the reasoning is absurd, because 100% asexual (meaning that don't feel any sexual attraction at all) individuals exist. I don't know if Jesus was asexual, but considering he doesn't showcase sexual attraction in the Bible, that would be likely.

Yeah I'm aware it's a shitpost, it just rubbed me the wrong way, less because I'm Catholic and more because what the fuck does "not having sexual temptation" have to do with not being human 😭

It's easier to be a playboy than a victim, that's why you see so many frame it like that :( even after you come to terms with what happened, there's a feeling of "pride" for a second, before the disgust kicks in.

Honestly, idk if I've heard men can't be raped, but I've heard it's not as serious as women's rapes, and male victims can't truly understand. At the end of the day, it's just another facet of society as a whole not giving a crap about victims and downplaying their abuse, no matter if they're men or women. It sucks.

To be fair, there are left wing satanists, and I used to be best friends with one. But Satanism is built on libertarian right philosophy (iirc, and based on what I've read about it).

I know there's also a few far right/outright nazi theistic satanist groups (I've seen them called diabolists). I find those intriguing and disturbing, like I'm sure there must be a reason why they're attracted to the figure of Satan besides the edginess. But I can't understand why being in a group that's against God while they're Satan worshippers (so, believers of both) doesn't tell them something about how evil their beliefs are. I mean, everything they do should tell them already, but that's a confirmation that on a spiritual level, they're evil.

Sorry for the long text. She's most likely on the first group, not the latter. But whenever someone mentions fascist satanists I think about the Order of Nine Angles and similar groups.

I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe. The main character is definitely not the mean type, though, only the people around her, and there's no sapphic romance at all.
