The shingles wouldn’t have stayed over the hole well enough

Shout-out to his spiritual successor, Homey D. Clown.

Homey don’t play dat.

I can acknowledge that you’re partially correct. What I was suggesting was geared towards preventing people from acting in negative impulses. Basically, your brain thinking “no, don’t do creepy shit.”

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because “the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing” is actually an irrational thought.

There’s no reason to assume this is actually the case. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that’s easily dispelled by recognizing that you’re actually capable of having that experience. Some proper therapy can help replace those intrusive thoughts with more empowering ones!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect issue that changed my intended meaning. Sorry.

I’m not saying to get rid of them, I’m saying to exercise self control so you don’t act on them. I dunno about resources on that, my dude. It’s just kind of a necessity to be a responsible adult.

Fair point, but there is a simple solution. Learn how to deal with it. Learn self control. Let that rational part of your mind do the driving.

OR we could teach people about respect and human decency…

Sorry, op. I’m locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.

Some of my faves:

Hey, op! I just wanted to thank you again for your contributions. You’ve cleaned up your posts a lot better, and I’m glad to see how much more traction they’ve been getting. Nicely done!

Easy there, Satan.

That’s it. Pistols at dawn.

Hi there, mod here. I want to acknowledge that you appear to not be a spam bot, just some decent dude who wanted to make some posts.

I appreciate you wanting to contribute. Would you do me a small favor and slow it down a bit? You’re getting a lot of reports. I recommend quality over quantity. Take the time to double check your titles. Keep it to like single digits a day for a bit. Avoid reposting topics. Etc.

That’ll all go a long way, rest assured.

This may not be new for other countries, but this is absolutely new to the US and a huge alarm.

International diplomats don’t often get immunity for treason.

Op, if you’re an actual person, feel free to post this again with the correct format. Like “TIL [something about your subject.]”

I’m removing this one for a rule 1 violation. It’s a way to combat spam.

1. Enough of us are active.

2. We have our own lives to lead.

3. We do this voluntarily and owe no one anything.

Boooooooo.
