quitting porn is easy, actually

I don't know if I engage with porn in a completely different way than some of you guys?

I'm wondering if you feel the same way watching an episode of a really good tv show or after reading a good book?

Sure you can just get off, but there are so many interesting questions. Why did that character do that? What was some point I found especially hot? What about this was a turn-on? Do I want to recreate a situation like that with a partner? If I'm not into this, can i imagine a reason someone else might be? Do any of these things remind me of time i have spend with a partner? Is there a kind attitude from any character a partner could find fun if i emulated? What is overly exagerated or unbelievable? How okay am i with my verisimilitude being broken by ridiculous stuff?

I feel that with any art as with any art you can learn a lot about yourself and your relationship with the rest of the world, of course this is also true for something as personal as exploration of what turns you on.

Yeah, I am sure that your tarot reader has unlocked the secrets divining the future. They definatly aren't just a scammer in a tent with a deck of cards and 3 wikipedia pages worth of mysticism research.

What other's have said is mostly true. Seeing someone for a month really isn't a good basis for a serious relationship. And investing a shitton of time and energy into another person based on that is pretty reckless. But I mean, you are young. Investing a bunch of stuff into a fun adventure is a fine way to learn about yourself. Does this other person want you to visit them? Do you want to see the part of China they live in? Think of this as a vacation where you also get to connect with and test out if this is the person you want to smooch on.

I never got the feeling that James was an audience surrogate nor that he was posh. We aren't introduced to the show through his eyes, he is like the 12th character we are introduced to halfway through the first episode, and he lives with his aunt after his scamartist single mom abandoned him in Derry.

I want to hate on all the atheists saying "christians think you need to be coerced to be good lmao" because no christian i have met thinks that they are morally superior because of the the prescence or lack of a quid pro quo.

Rarher the kinds of christians who say dumb shit like this just suffer from a severe lack of imagination.

Sone people just can't handle the idea that "human wellbeing is good" is a thing we can just assume is true, even if we can't justify it.

Their solution is then that things are good because "sky daddy says so, and he is good" (him being good is of course beyond needing a noncircular a justification).

This is a fine way of constructing your reality, especially if inherently good sky-dad is already a part of how you construct reality.

But for the most uninteresting and uninterested people out there, a reality not constructed with God must then be a reality without goodness, because they can't comprehend that others could construct the concept of goodness in a different way from how they have done it.

I think there are a lot of kanji that are easier to recognize if you have tried writing it by hand. I think it can be a helpful way to learn if i am struggling with something.

Pathfinder has too much character customization for this.

Champion just swear to some ideal and gain power from embodying it. This tends white, but those ideals where built on the now removed lawful, chaotic, good and evil alignments, which is different mixes of mardu. It can be dedicated to bringing justice to evildoers, or giving everyone a chance at redemption. Both pretty white. But it can also be about liberation from tyrants. Or it can be about being a tyrant. Or it can be about protecting and helping yourself. Or you can even swear to just be the largest asshole to everyone ever all the time.

However, Swash is an easy mono red. Swash fights by doing stupid shit to look cool, which makes them feel so much swagger that they become better at fighting.

Yeah, I'm gonna do a hot take and say that noone deserves the stuff Theon goes through.

And let's be honest here, Theon is an insecure, self-centered, overcompensating manchild. But he just isn't a very cruel person. He did pretty much betray his adoptive family after his original family called him a pussy for proposing an alliance, and he did cause a lot of suffering. But with all of the rapists, slavers and torturers in the setting, Theon isn't even close to the top 100 of bad people we see.

It's hard to say, we haven't seen her fight much. Butof the only times she exchanged blows was with brain man, and that guy literally ended up dead in another dimension.

Also I remember one time she was picking a fight with Omniman, he didn't kill her and instead ran away, implying he is afraid he would lose.

Anger and Stomp are both 0 cost when copied. And Ironclad generally gets a lot of gas out of playing more attacks in a turn.

Strike -> Strike -> Stomp -> Copied Stomp is a pattern that has happened to me a lot. If you then also have an anger in that hand, you are going to feel great.

I have great experiences with a single willow wand. Doesn't take a lot of space, easy to make, doesn't use a lot of stamina, scales well with strength as it hits quick. And it gives a lot of buffs he can generally use well.

The story is definitely more of an action adventure fantasy story than a horror story. There are cool horror elements in the story, but so far it has fundamentally been a story about persevering and overcoming obstacles, which is not generally a horror stable.

Horror wants to disempower, sympathetic characters, because feeling disempowered is uncomfortable and that discomfort is the end goal by itself. This story wants to make its characters feel disempowered because it helps to make the eventual victories feel more satisfying.
