This is what the Internet should be. No more Facebook. No more Nazis. No more Elon Musk.

I'm starting to feel like "rawdog" means something entirely different to the younger generation.

[–] [email protected] 115 points 1 month ago

Only kinda. It's a permutation of how the Old Ones used it - going in without protection. Only this time you're taking on life without a condom for your mental health.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

in case you're serious - rawdogging in today's slang means doing something without the usual assistance. Eg. rawdogging work by not drinking coffee before it, rawdogging mental illness without taking meds, rawdogging the internet without an adblock

yes it does come from the sex

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

And is still used for the sex. Though in that context it's usually stated as "going in raw" or "hitting it raw"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

yep, its new, additonal meaning is roughly equivalent to 'no safeguards' 'training wheels off' 'straight into the deep end' 'balls to the wall' 'EXTREME' ... yeah, doing something in a very 'hardcore' way that is much more likely to result in tragedy or pain or destruction if you don't know exactly what you're doing, because the otherwise normal or helpful safety/protection mechanisms aren't present.

[email protected] is as close to shitposting as Mastodon gets (and we support her for it)

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

That's one hell of a URL

I had no idea .gay was a valid tld.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

x.gay is for sale for $2,900 a year, as are elonmusk.gay and trump.gay. gay.gay is on sale for $28,000, and butt.gay is $1000 per year.

Apparently nobody wants to pay that much for them since none of them are registered

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

IIRC a portion of the registration profit goes to LGBT advocacy organizations.

The domain names also tend to be surprisingly cheap, from what I've seen.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's twice as expensive as .com, but worth it imo- I use it for my private practice website/email

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Therapy.Gay?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

.love is also valid :D

Can someone explain what this actually means? What’s a puppy girl? Are we talking about throwing people in cages?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 month ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

gen z: Roughly the generation currently in their teens to twenties.

dommes - Sexual dominants, as opposed to subs. Specifically female in this case, with "doms" being the masculine/gender-neutral variant.

puppygirls - Dog equivalent of a catgirl. A girl who takes on visual and personality traits of a puppy to various extents, often as a form of sexual play.

dogcage - Where you put your puppygirl when she's been chewing on the remote or peeing on the rug.

rawdog - To experience something "raw", without any aides to make the experience safer or more tolerable.

Translation: It's incredulous that young sexual dominants allow their submissives to use their phones while in their cage. It lessens the experience!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The dogcage can also just be where your puppygirl likes to sleep! It is stable and confined and may help your puppygirl be less anxious. To that extent, do not let your puppygirl doomscroll while in her cage!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tfw my puppygirl keeps peeing on the rug instead of on my front lawn

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

At least with puppygirls, you both enjoy rubbing her face in the puddles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

shouldn't dominants be shortened to doms instead? like submissive is shortened to subs, not subbes? or was this written by a French person?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For reasons unknown to me, we gender it the french way - a dom is male, a domme is female.

May be a thing that developed online in order to not annoyingly misunderstand esch other

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The plural of radius is radii; larva, larvae; criterion, criteria.

Façade is written with a letter that doesn't exist in the English alphabet.

Fiancé and fiancée are written using diacritics, something that isn't supposed to happen in English orthography (inasmuch as English orthography might exist).

There's at least five different ways to pronounce the digraph oo, with no indication of which to use in each case, you just have to remember it.

And I could keep listing similar nonsense, but I think I've made my point.

Do not try to make sense of the English language. Therein lies madness.

Oh great, now I'm afraid I'm going to wind up being posted here when I use Sharkey xD

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Only if you make a banger post

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Me am be have trying

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It kinda depends on the reason for cage time. If it's a punishment then the phone is weird. But if they are sleeping in it for the night then let them have their phone until bedtime.

Why again are there people with a Kink for being tortured in inhuman ways again?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

there's some people tnst like being tortured in inhuman ways, but I wouldn't consider a cage to be that. for some people it isn't a bad thing at all, it brings them comfort and a sense of safety.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

One person's kink is another's war crime

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

True...Puts foot in someone's mouth what is wrong with those people Puts other foot in someone's mouth
