Yikes, laughing at wanting a safe word is a huge red flag IMO. Sounds like you dodged a bullet in the end.

Yeah, I’ve always felt like forced sex sounds hotter than it actually is. It sounds so romantic, and everyone thinks they can get in the mood as soon as their partner wants them, but the reality doesn’t quite line-up the same. A pretty key part of any consensual non-consent is setting up a word to break the scene though, so I dunno if I’d beat yourself up too much about it. If she wasn’t in the mood, she should have let you know.

I definitely get this sentiment, but I do feel like it should be pointed out that there’s been at least two assassination attempts against Trump.

What we really need is just better aim.

See, I’m easy. As long as it’s purely in a sexual context, I won’t be mad. I might say “No” or “Not right now,” but as long as my partner is saying it from a place of genuine horniness, they can go nuts.

Is this so much to ask for? Someone who will treat me with respect while also sexual degrading me when I want it?

Putin has now reached a level of Skaven where’s making ceasefire deals just so he can break. There hasn’t been enough betrayal for his liking yet, so he must manufacture some. Unhinged behavior.

On the one hand, yeah definitely export your own cultural weirdness. Part of the joy of having so many other cultures in the world is getting little peeks into them via art.

On the other hand, some of my favorite games of all time have come from Japanese developers fetishizing American culture and trying to pretend it’s normal. Deadly Premonition, Metal Wolf Chaos, all the works of Hideo Kojima. I think there’s something to be said for the strange fusions that can occur when an outsider makes art in the style of a different culture.

Holy shit, I feel like I just had a Jimmy Neutron brain blast. Thanks for the link, I had no idea what was possible.

Came into this thread just to shout out The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. Aki Toyosaki’s performance has Ristarte is just incredible, and really elevates an already good premise.

You have more hope than I. I seriously do not think Americans will ever do anything. Too many people have been indoctrinated into obedience.

No, it’s just at home now. The CIA has been torturing people in black sites around the globe for decades now. If anything, those conditions were far worse, since it doesn’t seem like any migrants detained are getting waterboarded yet.

I guess someone threatening you with a lawsuit stings a lot more when there’s a chance they could actually win. Typically when my office gets threatened with a lawsuit, we all just laugh and laugh at the absurdity of their claims.

The American de jure caste system is honestly one of the most disgusting truths to learn. Those people who become homeless do not often live long, prosperous lives wandering the streets. Either you get pulled out of it by intelligence/family/friends/luck, or you die. There is a never ending conveyor belt constantly pushing against our feet that feeds into a furnace fueled by blood. There’s no reason we need to let our homeless die. We could establish a society where everyone is taken care of, but the capitalists at the top like using the threat of sliding down that conveyor belt against us. And so an entire caste of people exists to die.

The entire system deserves to burn to the ground. I’m torn between my delight that it currently is, and my horror at the suffering the collapse will cause.

If you are not a straight white man, you will be flirting with deportation. It might get reversed later, and they might “deport” you to a country you have never been, but it will still be a life-changing event.

If you are going to protest, remember to wear a face-covering, never give anyone your full name, leave your cellphone at home, and wear something you can run in.

Man that was so fast.

Godspeed to the immunocompromised. This fucking sucks. You now have to live with the threat of measles because we’ve developed a society so safe and cozy that these dipshits take that safety for granted.

Yeah I did once, like when I was 8. I don’t recommend it, vomitting and shitting sucks a lot.

*The Koch Brothers et al. used their vast wealth to transform the Republican Party in 10 years.

The biggest problem the left faces is that money is required for any political action in the U.S., and there is no money for the left. No billionaire will fund 50501, or Our Revolution, and in fact they’ll gladly spend several million dollars defeating leftist primary challengers and suppressing news of protests.

Our political system is hopelessly rigged. There is no longer any way to use it to save ourselves.

God I relate to this so hard. So many doctors just dismissing the constant pain I go through, so many times I seriously just sit and think “What if it’s something stupid that nobody is thinking of.”

I hate the state of medical service in the United States. Most expensive medical care in the world, but if you’re poor, you’re wasting the doc’s time.

I’d wanna go back to 22, currently almost 30. I developed a lot of health complications around 23-24, and 22 is the last time I remember my body not being in constant pain.

I mean, bloodletting is rarely a valid treatment, and leeches can be good for it. The issue was more that it was overprescribed.
