sitting around in your house all day jerking off is self-evidently bad, as is playing slot machines all day, as is eating processed foods all day from your magic fridge.
I think we’re basically in agreement then. I was at no point trying to defend the porn industry as it exists today, sorry if it came off that way.
Yes, commodifying sex is bad because commodifying anything is bad. When porn ceases to be a commodity it will become less harmful, much like anything else.
I’m really not sure what point you’re making here, do you think there wouldn’t be porn sites that people would use as masturbation tools in a communist society? Why is “instant gratification” inherently a bad thing? When you open your fridge to have a snack you’re “instantly gratifying” because you’re not involving yourself in the entire process of making food.
Yeah that’s true, I guess it’s considered kind of a vice that’s normalized, kinda like smoking.
and online pornography, which commodifies the most intimate and shared human experiences, and only serves to further atomize and alienate us from each other and ourselves, sucks.
Pretty sure people would make porn and share it in a communist society too. Not everybody considers sex as this sacred intimate act that needs to be hidden from the rest of the world, some people are just naturally extremely horny.
and a lot of that unhealthy relationship is caused by the stigmatization of porn in the first place.
Is it really that stigmatized? Like maybe in very religious communities but overall I think it’s fairly normalized.
For a while i thought i was ace but I’m just not that into sex or talking about it.
I mean isn’t that what being ace is? Honest question tho, I’m very much very horny and have no idea how ace people work.
Why though? Why do you prefer that?
Because it tends to get really weird really fast. Most people would probably be reasonable about it but you’re almost certainly going to attract a few major weirdos too.
Basically a “bad apple spoils the bunch” kind of thing.
I agree with you like 90% but I don’t think you can say it’s not real at all just because they decided (for now) not to classify it as a mental disorder. There definitely exist people that have a very unhealthy relationship to pornography that it very negatively impacts their lives.
I agree it’s way overblown due to religious brainworms tho.
This discussion is the most boring, larpiest shit ever, neither communists nor anarchists are anywhere close to power anywhere in the western world, get your head out your ass.
Eh I dunno about that, the plagiarism machine would probably also be good for, for example, undergrad math or compsci because the work is usually fairly simple but necessary to get into the deeper stuff. This kind of cheating on an industrial scale seems dangerous.
Wrinkles do look bad on most button-up shirts, couldn’t care less about them on other pieces of clothing tho.
Nobody mentioned showers except for you just now, also caring about how politicians dress is kinda bourgeois nonsense, yeah.
It’s good because it pisses the “decorum and professionalism” people like you off.
Yeah I think people are forgetting how inconvenient cables of wired heaphones dying really were. Sure wireless headphones have their drawbacks but overall IMO they’re an upgrade.
The situation isn’t that dire yet IMO, it’s not amazing but things aren’t falling apart yet. I think the libs know on some level they won’t survive unless they keep the treats flowing, which inevitably means easing up on the policy against China and probably even Russia to a degree.
Based if they do it but I think the lib establishment will be too cowardly.
What’s the play here anyway? The population of Greenland is like 60k people. Is it really just Trump’s brainworms acting up real bad or is there some benefit if you do imperialism to Greenland? Do they want to slap a military base there or something?
How’s Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it’s probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?
Good call. The amount of fedjacketing I see in online leftist spaces is really messed up IMO, gives off deranged conspiracy theorist vibes and it also shows a lot of unwarranted self importance, the feds most likely aren’t making up elaborate personas to rile up terminally online visitors of very niche online communities.
