The only one I’ve really seen this happen with so far is avgn

Yeah it’s mostly fine for the most part. Just occasionally it gets to me. People describe it as such an immense pleasure that I wish I could experience something like that at least once in my life. Oh well.

Desire? I would say not really. Very occasionally yes and fleeting.

But more it’s like missing a sense. Image all of your friends and family talk about how amazing chocolate tastes. But you were born without a sense of taste. Because people talking about the taste of chocolate are everywhere around you and you’ll never get to know what it tastes like, it bothers you on occasion. You never crave chocolate because you can’t taste anyway, but you’d just like to know what everyone tastes sometimes.

Except replace chocolate with sex/relationships. It’s a bit more significant than chocolate because essentially all forms of media prominently feature sex/relationship. It’s ubiquitous. And many people’s sense of life purpose comes from the outcome of that (children). And man the way people describe what an orgasm is like, it sounds like freaking heroin or something. I’d like to just once be able to experience something that powerful and pleasurable. Most of the time I live with it and am unbothered, but occasionally it leaves me feeling really left out and at some times not even the same species.

I feel this. Getting there myself. Part of the problem is that I can’t experience sexual pleasure and I have a hard time experiencing sexual attraction. But I really wish I could experience what those endorphins feel like even once! But even doing it myself, it doesn’t work that way.

To my knowledge, I don’t seem to have any physical abnormalities. I’ve been to the doc for a checkup before there. Nerves just must not be hooked up right or something.

Idk…I’ve found throughout the years that there are increasingly greater and greater amounts of long-form content available on YouTube to watch. Of late, I’ve watched some Louis Theroux documentaries, some documentaries on abandoned facilities, and some real A&E and ambulance emergency shows. There is a ton of interesting content on there if you look for it. I guess I just find the number of streaming services to be too staggering to bother with. So I go with free alternatives like YouTube with an ad blocker and things like PlutoTV and tubi.

The only time I ever see a YouTube ad is when I watch a family member pull up YouTube on their phone. It looks literally unwatchable that way. There are so many workarounds to this issue that I don’t understand how people can tolerate intrusive ads every 2 seconds.

I guess what my ramble was trying to say is that I didn’t even clock it as blackface because it’s so “poorly done” that it didn’t even come across that way until I read the comment and then stared at it in confusion. I’m not saying that it “doesn’t count if AI does it”, just that it’s a confusing photo.

Is that what I’m supposed to be looking at? Does it really count as a racist caricature if it is just some sort of weird uncanny valley image?

I’m guessing you mean blackface. But the person doesn’t look at all black or even like blackface. There is just some weird tinting effect happening. It’s like if someone described what blackface is to a blind person…but while trying to describe it, they had a mouth full of marshmallows

Sorry for my ramble and I hope this isn’t offensive to comment. I’m just confused. Is it really even attempting to be blackface?

God, j would eat the shit out of whatever the fuck that food is rn. But it’s bedtime so I guess I’ll just go to sleep. :pp

But funny meme

I built a whole ass cat wall for mine and he has never ever used it. I used to try to coax him up with treats and he would just go eat the treat and then come back down.

I’m contemplating taking the thing off the wall but then I’ll have a bunch of holes in the wall.

My cat is broken. He only likes to sit out in the open on couches and chairs!!

Yes I always hated the thought of inconveniencing people. But then I remember that I actually love helping other people. And so then others may actually feel the same way about helping me.

I recently adopted a singular adult cat and the process went very smooth and not pushy or weird at all. I went to a “cat cafe” which essentially showed cats from the local shelter. Maybe that’s why my experience was so pleasant.

I did visit an actual shelter prior to that and I didn’t have anyone hassling me, but I didn’t dive into the adoption process there. Actually, I spoke to one of the employees and told them I was concerned at adopting a pet as a single person who leaves the home to work every day about the pet possibly being lonely when I’m at work. It’s funny because he kind of looked at me like I had three heads and was like if you feed it and take care of it, it won’t matter. It’s still a lot better than them living on the street never being sure where their next meal will come from. It made me feel better about adopting.

Really? This is wild. I’m in a hot part of the US and it’s 95F/35C and humid daily here. I’m honestly really surprised with how much AC blasts here that heating still takes up the majority of nationwide energy consumption.

Photos like this are always so disingenuous because even newly healed tattoos never look like that. Day one pics always look insane, but they don’t look like that even a month later. Not that it will look bad a month later or anything, but it just won’t look like this.

Idk how long something in this style stays “readable”. One of the important factors is how big it is too.

My cat is extremely affectionate and loving, but he is does not comfort me in times of need at all whatsoever!

I’m crying? It’s too noisy for him lol.

Laying on the bathroom floor because I have food poisoning? He is like bro wtf you still in the bathroom for lol.

I see this propagated on the internet, but I get curious on whether or not it’s actually true or something that someone made up and got telephoned around the world.

I don’t have an office job, so it’s all good haha. I work in the medical field and have not needed to touch anything like that in years lol.

If it’s that simple for people to participate, that sounds good. I’m glad my era of group projects is over, at least! No more classroom work for me!

Haha I’m really glad I missed out on that sort of era tbh. Sounds like a bit of a nightmare.

While I appreciate you providing alternatives, the fact of the matter is that most of your random classmates are unlikely to be interested in using or figuring out how to use some sort of obscure program/website.
