Denial can fuck you up.

I also think its a learned behavior to “not think too much” because that can lead to danger or punishment.

Yeah unless there’s some indication that they’re interested in having a productive conversation I’ll only go as far as stating what I understand about the situation and not bother with citations.

My usual sources are the UN report and that other international Muslim org statement. I’d be down to learn more about the history of the region though.

I use porkbun for domain registration.

There are a bunch of budget cloud hosts: buyvm, vultr, linode, scaleway. You can also do port forwarding with cloudflare (but I’m not sure how it keeps track of your home IP).

I have a custom forwarding setup based on yggdrasil where my LAN machines connect to the forwarding host and each other, then the external traffic is routed over the VPN connection in the other direction. Its pretty nice, but I haven’t taken the time to document it very well.

There’s a Wing Chun in my area that I’ll probs fall back on if I can’t find what I’m looking for.

I find krav maga to be kinda gross. Jujitsu + Muay Thai is the same foundations without getting into Israeli traditions.

I’m not good at swordfighting, but I love it. I’ve been struggling to find a non cult kung fu place that teaches weapon techs, so maybe I’ll be better at it soon! I’m not bougie enough for fencing and HEMA is too scary to approach.

I need to spend more time studying this weird pattern of behavior. I keep wondering why there are so few young successors and why these people are choosing to work until they die and why the party is OK with it. I suspect that the GOP actually trends younger than their opposition because young and young-ish people are significantly more progressive than they can actually allow.

My intuition says that this has something to do with racism and the cultural and demographic shifts of the last 50 years or so, but that’s not based on any serious inquiry.

Because SocDems won’t support a revolution to overthrow capitalism, they’ll just team up with fascists and liberals to maintain it.

in the year 12025 white people are still struggling with the concept of hygiene

i mean its either war under an imperial flag or war under a gang’s banner. what’s the difference? At least in prison you aren’t helping empire.

I agree, that’s a huge if.

I don’t personally subscribe to the porn addiction narrative. There’s a lot of unhealthy socialization around sex that is not addresses in that framework at all, which I find pretty sus.

A lot of people also just have an unhealthy relationship with sex which makes their relationship with porn also unhealthy. Navigating sex and relationships is tough. Just doing that badly enough is enough to fuck a person up. That said, if the lens of addiction helps people manage their relationship with porn better that’s great!

I had a friend with problems like that, but he seemed a lot happier after moving to Brazil from the US. This was in Utah though and to me a lot of those folks look like clones. Might be a different issue in that case.

Personally do I think excessive porn consumption can cause developmental issues, but that’s not the same as addiction.

Only in the sense that the point of liberalism is to enable fascist leaders to take power mostly unchallenged once the liberals fail at being secret fascists.

Let’s put the commie back in commiefornia

Recall this ghoulish clown

South Africa was an ethno state before the current government was installed. Their whole constitution is based in not being an ethno state.

Nobody should get an ethno state tbh

Sure, but how is it likely to happen?

They elected Chevy Chase for pope?
