How about we shift to talking about portion control and be less all or nothing?

Denying such things in other animals has been part of a long-standing, mainly Western, push for human exceptionalism

Texan civility would never stoop to such levels

Humans haven’t been tasty in a long time. And now they’re contaminated with micro plastics and forever chemicals?? Forget it. Hard pass

Quite the meta statement of mainstream music

Don’t have anything to add, just appreciation for your post. A true evil playthrough would be interesting. Done well it’d uncomfortable and illuminating. But maybe too threatening for many? Maybe we stick to simplistic versions because they are safe?

Dishonored 2 did something in the right direction, the way choices start to color the world around you.

Well, we will add some ecology version of thoughts and prayers to it. Some veneer of Never Again

Your responses alternate between writing as if you are a random person who happened across this and then someone who is part of the project. Kinda disingenuous. If you are marketing your own project, be straight about it. If it is against the policies to do that, well then don’t do it

For all the times you responded, couldn’t you have just posted the link?

It started to come off as scripted. But who knows. Everyone’s cray and imitating cray they’ve seen on tiktok like AI learning from other AI in a loop to the bottom

Not sure what you mean, but here are some considerations. See which is important to you and then others can opine?

Taste (subjective. E.g. I find anything that is tetrapak vs refrigerated to have a ubiquitous off taste)

Versatility
(some hold up better in hot liquids than others; or have a necessary thickness for cooking or baking)

Nutritional Profile
(soy is usually naturally higher in protein; oat and rice milk are high carb / glucose load)

Cost

Quality of ingredients, including how processed they are

Inclusion of undesirable ingredients
(e.g. oils, thickeners)

Ecological impact
(Amount of water to produce e.g. almonds vs oats; over harvesting e.g. coconut)

What a wonderful, heartfelt way to close out Black History Month, eh?

This is the type of thing to keep in your back pocket for days when you need perspective. Sure you messed up today. But did you Billy Coull your day?

Thanks! At the time I was seeking old-school grandpa type boxers to wear for bed. Currently looking for actual underwear though — just discovered recently that it was trunks that I was seeking all along afa day wear and not boxer briefs; so I’ll see if Jockey has some

It took a moment to realize she wasn’t ripping her flesh open and letting maggots or something drop out

I’m with you in missing that brief era where we could just be truly social online and it felt like a healthy extension of real life dynamics

Someone put a lot of good work into creating this image overall

At first I thought you were posting your response and it came off like this wonderful troll of what a user might disingenuously post on nostupidquestions

It’s interesting to notice how potent the stigma is around the topic. Like, I feel that I should be creating an alt account just to ask a question on here to avoid association with the topic…

A few things come to mind:

Is this something that you experience urges around? If so, what outlet do you provide them? Are there certain mediums like written stories or hentai that you find acceptable?

I notice that for all the disgust expressed around pedophilia, there is also rather rampant sexualization of children and teens. Not just in hentai but in, say, beauty pageants — and now, apparently, via AI imagery — occurring across many nations/cultures. Curious what you make of this.

What is the endgame of pedophilia? Like, even if it were permissible, what would you be seeking? How do you reconcile with the reality that a kid will age out of the zone to which you are attracted? I guess: is it something that is more about the fantasy? Is there a sexual component, or is it a sort of a Michael Jackson thing, where you prefer their company?

Finally, just want to mention that there are often low fee options for therapy. They might be with a pre-licensed person, but the quality of treatment is dependent on the match with the therapist anyhow. No idea how you’d find someone willing to work with you but, given you don’t report having acted on any urges, your information remains confidential and you can shop around until you find someone who is willing to do so.

Practice with eye gazing. You can shift looking mode. We tend to forget this because our modern landscape keeps us mostly in a narrow gaze
