I learned something today... and I'm not better off for having learned it. What a dumb ass virtue signal to use on something.

[+] [email protected] -14 points 5 months ago

Thanks for your feedback. On the website I just added clarification of the purpose of promoting it so it's less likely to seem like virtue signaling.

Honestly, it should be more freedom from addiction. Porn isn't harmful until it becomes addicting. Drugs can boost creativity until you become dependent (although admittedly these can have a greater chance of harm, caffiene included). TV binging, scrolling the internet, all these can result in inspiration until it becomes a required habit

Maybe rework the message so Freedom From Porn is symbolic of Freedom From Addiction, and the ability to generate ideas without needing to nut first, or take drugs, or scroll endlessly through videos and stories, or playing non stop games, etc.

Yeah, I never understood the point of these nofap movements if you just substitute it with some other addiction like binge watching or doomscrolling social media. It seems like treating a symptom instead of a disease. If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won't even have the time for harmful addictions.

If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won’t even have the time for harmful addictions.

Those things would be part of a positive feedback loop, and it might not be able to be the first part. The ability to enjoy them is reduced until the brain is fully healed from the addiction.

Aaand you killed this meme for me.

BTW, I like porn, not quitting.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, this meme is now very dead for me as well. xD

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Well, apparently freeing yourself from porn enables you to make even more silly memes. Probably better to keep doing porn then.

If you think this meme is bad then this will torture you

The prose is weird, but the premise is kind of interesting

DO NOT MERGE

There is a bug causing the government to manipulate the people to serve itself. The bug was discovered after the stock market implementation. Reverting breaks too many newer systems. Absolutely do not merge this into main.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Merged and deployed in 2012. The Mayans were right all along.

USA: The government is the corporations.

Skynet: The government is an AI filled 4chan board.

Borg: The government is the collective.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

You make the Borg sound appealing and reasonable.

Imagine having the tech to just go to ~~sleep~~ charge and afterwards feel rested & full of energy.

Also best wifi.

Huh. I'd never heard of The Venus Project, but it's giving Freedom by Daniel Suarez or Walkaway by Cory Doctorow vibes, except (aspirationally at least) in the real world.
