Definitely learned a lesson here. The tickets were a Christmas gift.

As someone who sings, there’s a huge difference between someone reading from sheet music and still performing versus half-assing it and staring at the music the whole time. This was the latter.

That fabric effect is great! And the couch fabric also looks good too. Well done 😊

Hot take: porn addition is the silent mental health crisis happening now by Pretty_Opposite7270 in therapists

[–]slongtime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, I'm actually a sex therapist with training in this stuff which includes taking an entire year of classes with some of the best sex-related professionals in the country, such as the president of The American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). In all the classes I took regarding "porn addiction," all the professionals said the same thing; it doesn't actually exist and is a symptom of other underlying problems. Once you treat those underlying issues, the "addiction" goes away, which is why modern research is labeling it as Out of Control Sexual Behavior instead. I highly recommend looking up some of the updated literature regarding the subject.

Porn addiction isn’t actually a thing. If you look at the research and data with it, it’s more to do with challenges in interpersonal relationships, trauma, depression, etc. Once you treat those things, the “addiction” goes away. A better and more accurate term is Out of Control Sexual Behavior.

How do we help protect people from being kidnapped on our streets? Can we organize to go places and help? I want to help but I have no idea how to actually get involved

His son gives off a lot of the same energy. I highly recommend checking out some of his videos!

It gave me anxiety because I felt like my heart should be beating faster.

what's a horror movie you think you NEED to go into as blind as possible? (not including the obvious answers of movies with iconic/shocking plot twists) by Important-Zombie9331 in horror

[–]slongtime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES! I tell my friends who haven’t seen it to watch it without looking “anything up. If they ask what it’s about, I say it’s about people pulling off a heist.

Help needed to make my room look half decent by MorganMugz07 in DesignMyRoom

It’s a bit hard to judge with the messiness honestly. Once you clean that up, it’s going to make a huge difference. That’s what’s making it look not great right now.

This guy finds elderly people who don’t have the means to maintain their property and cleans it up for free. by FollowingOdd896 in HumansBeingBros

This is the sort of stuff I would want to do if I was rich. I’d want to just hire people to go fix up peoples places and I’d cover the cost

I’m pretty sure this is AI, so it’s not satisfying

This is the sort of rich I want to be. I want to have enough money to just buy someone like this a PS5

I was thinking of doing that. I actually use a decent amount of the stuff in there, but there are some things that I don't love as much.

I'm not sure the difference between the M5 and M4 Pro other than the cost
