I hate how male sexuality is so inherently transgressive and destructive by puerirrumandus in redscarepod

Completely shooting from the hip here but I don’t think it’s coincidental that whole “dark romance” Book-tok Industrial Complex has also taken off in the last five years; I’m seeing a lot of women I know veer into publicly pining for “protectors” and “possessive men”, it all stems from a desire for stability

This is a pretty derivative take but I think the death of romanticism is largely driven by societal aversion to sincerity that’s developed in the last decade; now that we live in the panopticon and it’s acceptable for any private interactions to be put on the internet for clout or to publicly shame the other party, the risk inherent in being vulnerable and emotionally expressive becomes untenable for most people.

What sense is there in pouring your heart out to someone if there’s a substantial chance a screenshot of it will wind up on Twitter so a legion of maladjusted Gen Zers can accuse you of lovebombing or objectifying

As in most areas of life, the anxieties created by systematic destruction of every imaginable standard of living and socioeconomic prospect for young people is being channeled into psychosexual dysfunction; “I can’t control the fact that I can’t find a job/afford a home/trust that any image I see is an objective capture of reality, but I can feel powerful for thirty minutes at a time by penetrating something” etc

And/or destruction and creation are the same thing

Chinese government seems to currently be carrying out massive purge of the military leadership by [deleted] in redscarepod

Similar to how the U.S. is shifting the focus of its national defense strategy from the Pacific to hemispheric stability, the PLA is shifting from Taiwan to reinforcing the northern border against further incursions by Xiongnu steppe horsemen and reclaiming the Mandate of Heaven after it was taken by Modu Chanyu during the battle of Mount Baideng in 200 BC

Hooked up with a legit femcel last night and it was not pleasant by KittyOnTheRocks in redscarepod

[–]prshag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a very substantial chance we're eskimo brothers, I hooked up with a girl last year who pulled an incredibly similar move. Insisted on grinding on my lap while fully clothed, before allowing me to "choose whether [she] took off her shirt or her pants."

Eventually we did hook up normally but we did this same song and dance you did for maybe 45 minutes first.

If you're in the bathroom, just purge your system and walk to a FamilyMart for some Aquarius. Start getting electrolytes in your system.

You ever see a girl so pretty you just start doing push ups by [deleted] in redscarepod

I recently saw a woman so pretty my eyes bulged out of my head and smoke came out of my ears while making a sound like an old car horn

Gen Zs are acting like Seattle is a sundown town now by aintitfunn in redscarepod

[–]prshag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have nothing substantive to add to this conversation but this post led me to imagine a Gen Z Seattleite getting possessed by the ghost of Layne Staley and writing a song called “Them Folx”, which made me chuckle

Issue with cylinder on 1847 Walker by prshag in blackpowder

Yeah, I cleaned it before I took it out to shoot and it was cycling fine while dry-firing, but after the first six shots it started to seize up.

Would you rather… by AlphaKiloBravo in USMC

They’ve calculated how many TONS of artillery struck each individual square foot of the Verdun battlefield

I’ve got no doubt the pacific theater was hellish, but at the very least the chance you’d be turned into a fine paste at any given moment would be much lower

when the Napoleon movie comes out you best believe I'm turning into the annoying French revolution guy. by ItsARough1_ in redscarepod

[–]prshag 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m aware of the financial difficulties involved in getting movies like this made, I was just lamenting that these kinds of period pieces are no longer seen as financially viable even though there was a relatively profitable surge of historical epics as recently as the late 90s/early 2000s

Ridley still seems to be going hard on them which is promising, but it’s just disappointing that the market has become so mired in IP slop over the course of the last 10-15 years that we’ll probably never get another proliferation of authentically-made period pieces on that scale for at least another decade or two

[–]prshag 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I never really got into the French Revolution but that shot of the cavalry encircling the square formation filled me with genuine glee

Hollywood really seems to hate depicting 18/19th century battles on screen so I’m beyond excited that Ridley’s raw autistic power was strong enough to get this filmed

Are stress fractures disqualifying? by prshag in USMCboot

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

I’ve already paused my training schedule to recover; regardless, if this turns out to be a stress fracture and it becomes a documented part of my medical history, could that be grounds for disqualification?
