“FOMO” sounds stupid (the sound, not the meaning). It also sounds like a certain offensive word.

That time Arnold Schwarzenegger saved The Oompa Loompas

Mainstream pop music’s sucked since the late '80s/early '90s.

It was at its best from the '30s - mid '80s.

I wonder what the music of the 2030s will be like…

Spuffure! Don’t look into it. I beg you

But do not worry. I know what I’m doing. 😉

I regret all of it, years later. I agree with this post mostly, minus the lowbrow insults.

I think I might be a misogynist (or at least have sexist views) and I don’t know what to do and hate that I can’t change. This is what feeling ostracized as a child and having little female role models can do. Why? Why? Why? I’m such a joke.

I am a worthless person who hates everyone who doesn’t share the same identity as me. When I start to get a bit better, I fuck it all up.

We all have aspects to our psyche we could live without. That you’re able to recognize yours is an indication that that you’ve already changed and are capable of further change. Don’t give up on yourself and don’t hate yourself for being imperfect. We’re all works in progress.

Oh my god, thank you so much!!! Such wise words.

I wish I could be part of a religion, but my conscience just won’t allow me to. My rationalist mode of thinking means that I find it almost impossible to accept something on blind faith. Why would you believe in one religion without evidence, when there are hundreds of other religions that have just as much of a basis in fact?

But more importantly, I find that the vast majority of religious teachings conflict drastically with my own moral and political views. This especially applies to matters of human sexuality. I’m a firm believer in the right to free sexual expression, including masturbation and pre-marital sex. But most religions, especially the Abrahamic ones, teach people to keep their natural urges bottled up inside. That’s an incredibly unhealthy mindset, in my opinion. And don’t get me started on how the Bible talks about homosexuality: let’s just say that, as a bisexual person, I do not like being referred to as an “abomination”.

I feel you. Shit like this really fucked me hard (no pun intended). The only good thing that got out of it was that it made me stop PMOing for three months for fear of divine retribution (This was in 2019 during my long absence). I will admit I did feel mentally better (but that’s a different story for a different time), but I will say that mentally scarred me quite a bit, and I only recovered in 2021/2022. My rant on sexual-related matters in 2020/2021 were because of that 'orrible mindset from some stupid ass books I read from this stupid ass cult masquerading as ‘a statement of fact’. I won’t disclose what it was just yet for privacy reasons, but I will leave you with the absolutely brilliant line “chastity is life and sexuality is death”.

But I will say that religions ARE right on matters such as internet porn.

We stopped because either we mentally matured or because we watched his review of The Wall.

I remember saying years ago that I hated gender roles. What an ignoramus I was.

Gender roles are truly necessary in some parts of life.

Broke: Gender roles are good.

Woke: Gender roles are bad.

Bespoke: Gender roles are.

Well said.

What if people with sexual fetishes are reincarnations from people in an alternate universe where that sexual preference is the standard?

I have a girlfriend

Speaking of that, I’ve decided to put trying to find a girlfriend on hold and focus solely on my mental health.

And here’s the good news.

My mental health is slowly getting better.

I don’t dislike the song, but I find the song What a Wonderful World a bit too excessively sentimental.

The same goes with lots of other songs from that time period with excessive use of strings as well as what could be seen as saccharine melodies and lyrics.

Now, I know pirating is a touchy subject, and I now own the OT on DVD (reference to a 2016 incident), and let me make myself clear that you should never pirate something that is readily available, but honestly, if you are pirating something that is incredibly hard to obtain, is long out of print, with any remaining copies being ungodly expensive, and worse case scenario completely impossible to purchase in your region, basically being in a “Keep Circulating the Tapes” situation, it’s okay to do it.

Like, if I more or less can’t legally purchase it, what am I supposed to do? Just not listen to/watch it?

Please note I am not condoning piracy, I’m just saying it’s not so bad in extreme cases.

Indeed. To add on to this, I think the amount of media that doesn’t exist far outweighs the amount of media that does exist. This includes things that exist in dreams For example, songs and movies you view and listen to in your dreams that your minds makes up, or, say, everything on this site and this one as well.

For example, a song from a genre that doesn’t exist yet, or a movie from a time period that also doesn’t exist. A song/movie/artwork/whatever with a mixture of '80s and '40s aesthetics. The list goes on and on. Actors and musicians that don’t exist in real life but do exist in dreams or alternate universes.

Speaking of alternate universes, if the multiverse does exist and the universe truly is large enough, there would be an alternate version of Star Wars out there, with the only difference being that Leia is blonde, or a version of Back to the Future where Eric Stoltz did get the part, or even a silent film version of Back to the Future made in the 1920s with Harold Lloyd as Marty. Universes where humans never evolved and say, the major civilizations and intelligent life form would be a bird or reptile of some kind.

I’d say 99% of all possibilities (including every possible song, movie, or TV show) doesn’t exist yet. And a good chunk of that never will exist… in this part of the universe.

Here is a great video on the Library of Babel.

Wikipedia’s article on NoFap is horrendous. It does not even mention dopamine once. And to equate the concept of recovery from porn addiction with the far-right is fucking trash. Quite the opposite actually. Only a small minority of the NoFap movement actually dislike women, Jews, and the like, and I’d say the porn industry are the real misogynists.

There have been people trying to correct the information on the article, but has been reverted.

RationalWiki’s article is even worse.

Unrestricted access to sexual content on the internet at a young age really fucked me up big time, and I deeply regret not being more careful.

Highlander 2 is one of the most skippable movies in any franchise.

TBH IMHO, the first one is also skippable.
