Apparently the hallucinations appear whether your eyes are open or closed and last for up to a week, sometimes more depending on dosage. And those are from people who ate some that were undercooked, so presumably most of the psychoactive material had been neutralized.

It doesn't sound like a pleasant experience.

He would have been early 30s in Dr No, it was released two years before Goldfinch. Still, though, it's crazy how much the lifestyles of previous generations differ from current lifestyles and how you can literally read it on people's faces.

Private eyes ARE watching you. They see your every move.

Maybe I'm reading either comment wrong, but I think the person you're replying to was being ironic. Perhaps.

Jfc whats the acronym for remembering the lake names supposed to be now? HAMES?

... oh, wait, no. Its SHAME. Maybe this ain't such a bad shift in that light.

"Horniness is the suspension of disgust" is going in my quote book, fyi. It also explains some things about me and my near-constant horniness. And, I think in some ways, the stereotypical CIS male mindset in general. Thank you for this

For us both, really. Its caused a lot of strain on our relationship. I am more than happy to masturbate, but it doesn't scratch the same itch for me as sex with my wife - lack of intimacy, I guess, but also just I love pleasuring her and I miss that. My wife finds masturbation to be wholly unsatisfying and gets outwardly frustrated if she goes solo for a while.

We both work full time and are juggling taking care of the baby, so many days we just don't have the bandwidth to both have free time and privacy at the same time and thus initiate sex. Usually we're worn out by the time the baby is asleep, and even if one or both of us is in the mood we just don't have the energy. My wife has expressed that she feels rejected and unattractive because of it, and I find myself depressed and also a bit unattractive if I'm being honest.

But we are good communicators with each other, and we're working through it. Its just hard.

I think the stat is at least 21x per month. So more like 5-6x per week for prostate health benefits.

I just started looking throughthe thread, but the idea that once a week is fairly frequent is mind boggling for me. My wife and I started having sex only once a week post-baby, and its caused us to seek therapy...

We should. And in an ideologically pure society we would. I honestly think people try.

But you don't have to be a manipulative person to see the value of this argument, like the comic is suggesting. You simply need to look at the world you want to make through a defensive lens. The truth is, even if we built a society where it was not the norm to be manipulative and exploitative, there would still be manipulative and exploitative people - and in such a society they would quickly climb to the top of the social hierarchy and reclaim power. And the world would decline back to what it was.

This is not an argument for inaction, imo. Its an argument for vigilance. But it also means we cannot consider ourselves "above" or "beyond" the undesirable traits of humanity, because that would make us victims of the cruel and the selfish. It also means the acceptance of checks and balances on power, which sadly... don't always stick around.

Yeah, the bones are indestructible, so there's never a need to regenerate

But if we called it the Sample Line we'd confuse it with the lines at Costco, and we can't have that. The Sample Lines are too important.
