I think I got a crush on my dance instructor. Which fucking sucks for all the obvious reasons. Normally I wouldn’t be so worried. BUT I JUST HAD A GODDAMN ROMANTIC DREAM ABOUT HER. Seriously I just woke up from a dream about her confessing her love to me and me eagerly doing the same about her....
Would asexuals really have that bad of a time in a country that is not that supportive of LGBT? I don’t think not wanting to have sex is seen as bad by people who dislike LGBT?
In my country especially (it’s Morocco), so many people think it’s a bad idea to not get married and not have children (which requires sex anyway) simply because it’s so engrained in our society to do that. Blame the state religion.
Idk why, but when I told my dad I wanna be celibate, he called me an atheist, which I’m not.
Also, asexualism is technically a part of LGBT, just in a very secondary manner. If people know about the full picture, they’ll start threatening you.
Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....
When minimum wage was increased to $7.25/hour (although it should be increased again).
Affordable Care Act
Funding for covid tests and vaccines
Don’t know if these count, since they only come from SCOTUS decisions however Congress has not written a law stripping these rights. Right to have a same-sex relationship (2003) Right to marry a same-sex partner (2015) Right to employment while LGBT (2020)
The same way you can spot people lacking confidence, there’s tells, and she doesn’t seem to have any here, either she’s getting hers or she’s content with what she’s got going on in that department. Because realistically that’s what it’s all about, not like you would get a lot of aesexual incels, right?
From what I could tell, she’s not asexual. If nothing else, overweight women usually have a higher sex drive and better orgasms (something to do with the fat and chemistry… I’ve read about it, but can’t remember where). The same is not true for men.
So, one, she’s either a REALLY good actor (not gonna bet on this to be honest), two, she’s getting her part (an arm can do much more than a penis can… not judging on kinks or preferences), or three, she’s asexual (not gonna bet on this either… especially by the way she’s dressed).
So, your point was, she’s probably getting it. I can agree with that based on what I saw. Is she getting it from who she wants? Not likely. Does she care? All she seems to care about is reddit and upvotes (judging by the firey nature of her reply and the length of it). Does that make her an incel? Technically no. Realistically, yes. If she does actually get it as much as she wants, but not by the person (persons) she wants to get it from, that’s mostly a male perspective (which can be true for overweight women). Imagne if there was an overweigt man sitting in her place and saying the same things she is saying and with the same ammount of confidence. Would you believe him? Over 90% of people would disregard it as a lie. Yet, she gets the benefit of the doubt. Why? Cuz she’s confident 💪.
But hey dude, enjoy that superiority complex you got going, I’m sure you can do so much better while hate posting two chicks clowning incels.
Wrong. The one trashing on incels is most likely and incel herself, but in another form and shape. If the question was “what is a porker”, I can bet you any amount you want, she was gonna go down in tears.
How exactly do the gays transact for sex with their spouses? Like, do they pick one who will withold sex from the other until chores are done? Or do they swap roles monthly? How do they decide which one will be the begger and which one will grudgingly submit to their clumsy, sweaty defilement?
Yeah, it’s just a song about young men hanging out with all the boys and having fun doing whatever they feel.
So you can interpret it to not be gay if you want… it is open ended when it says “do whatever you feel” so if you don’t feel like having gay sex then you can substitute whatever you want in there instead of gay sex. So it’s technically not about having gay sex at the YMCA. Technically.
Bottom line is if you think the song is catchy and like doing the fun dance routine, you don’t have to feel like it makes you gay if you do the dance. Just do whatever you feel, it’s fun!
Could (a) god(s) exist? Possibly, it’s hard to rule out the supernatural in natural terms since it’s SUPERnatural
Could the universe be a simulation? Possible too, but also on of those things that’s almost impossible to prove.
At the same time, it could be that your e a Boltzmann brain, and that literally nothing existed before and that your brain just kinda formed together spontaneously with all your memories.
All those are possible options that are over 99% likely to be false, but their cooouuullldd be true.
Point is not to rearrange your life on the off changlce that one of those are true. Especially religion, since religions tend to be “believe our particular god(s) or you go to hell for eternity” followed closely by “if you don’t believe our particular god(s) we will help you go to hell right now”. Nearly all human conflicts in Earth’s history were either based on religion or used religion as a tool to whip up the masses to go kill the others.
There are also hundreds of Gods and over 3000 different religious figures out there and they’re all pretty much exclusive or, they all claim to be the right one and the rest is wrong. Bold claim to make when it’s all based off goat herders texts that were first abused for a completely different god (hello, Christianity!) and constantly conflicts with each other.
Simulation theory and Boltzman brain ideas are fun to entertain and talk and think about, but they’ve never been used to control who can love and have sex with who, they’ve never been a used whereas religion just IS abuse and control in every way possible.
Hand of Manos. Most likely thee worst movie ever made. I found it for a screen writing class. The assignment was watch a bad movie then present it to the class. Easiest A+ of my fucking life.
Another weird one is, there used to be a sex Tetris type game for Windows 98 or earlier. Little naked people would drop down and when you got a full line they would jump off the screen. I don’t know how that got on the family PC, but it was on it. I played it. So there’s that.
It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren’t currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they’d have constant issues with violence from those suffering the “blood fever” whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had...
I always got the impression that Vulcan society operated similar to traditional Japanese or other societies where couples were “arranged” by families. Not sure about the one off cases though so maybe there is some kind of sex industry given the physiological toll if it’s not addressed in time
Marilyn Manson - he had a slow slide from alcoholism to lecher creep to serial abuser. he spent 2009-2011 doing the worst shit to women that you can imagine.
Brand New - turns out that Jesse was a groomer of underage girls.
Arcade Fire - Win Butler is a sex pest.
Smashing Pumpkins - not at all in the same category as the others, but goddamn does Billy Corgan suck. he was always known as a first-class egotist, but he just kept being an asshole long after his prime had become a distant memory. then the weird shit started: crackpot conspiracy theories on Myspace, palling around with Alex Jones on Infowars, dropping alt-right buzzwords in interviews. the latest album is an extended allegory on cancel culture. worse, it’s mostly unlistenable.
Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?
No. The artists I like are pretty much universally good people because they’re not wildly successful and had to mature in order to survive. I can’t think of a single artist I am a fan of who has done things that would cause me to question the integrity of their character or reassess their work.
Usually people who have this issue are ones who listen to shitty music or like shitty actors that only care about making money and being superior to others.
It’s no surprise to me that people like R Kelly pee on teenage girls, or Chris Brown beats women, or David Bowie has sex with underage girls. None of this surprises me because their creations and lifestyles reflect who they are as people. It’s always funny seeing their fans being met with cognitive dissonance, though.
I can’t really name any actors though because I already don’t like the vast majority of shit that gets pumped out of hollywood and I’m not exposed to it often. I’m sure people who are more familiar with their crap will have no problem thinking of examples, though.
I never understand this shit. Like even if you have absolutely no morals, you’re Vin Diesel. You can pretty much have consensual sex whenever you want to. Why do you have to resort to assaulting people?
When someone says "kiss my ass" does it refer to the hole or the cheek?
The hole is obviously more fragrant but thats pretty damn intimate for someone you probably dislike or want to be vindickated by

Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?
It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?...
People who have made and successfully kept their New Year's resolution, what was it and how did you stay motivated?
Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?
