  • I think I’m in the exact same position as you. Generally speaking I tend to be personally conservative about sex and relationships – not really into hook up culture, thinking sex should be with someone you deeply love, etc.

    That said, as a single, nearly 30 year old dude, I do watch porn, and it’s usually by independent content creators, not studios. I find the idea of maligning those women for what they do to be utterly reprehensible, and peak hypocrisy. If I were in their shoes, there’s a decent chance I’d also post nudes and try to monetize it.

    Yet, at the same time, I don’t like subscribing to only fans, because it just feels wrong, like on a core level personally. On some level, I’m wary of getting overly invested in someone and having a weird parasocial thing. I’m glad that I’ve given them money in the short term though.

    Human sexuality is really weird, and the way society plays into it makes it nigh incomprehensible sometimes how we feel and act about it.















  • Yeah that’s my concern. The first time I read the headline I went “Well, that’s their choice to make and we should respect it.” But then I noticed the whole military junta part, and that they had overthrown the president. I don’t think we can say without fair elections if the people actually want the US to leave. I wouldn’t be surprised actually if they don’t want the US to leave in light of the military takeover.

    I get the grim feeling that the military junta has struck a deal to send conscripts to Russia in return for aid and closer diplomatic relations. Which is all kinds of fucked up.


  • I’m impressed. You’re so insufferable that you’ve managed to piss off both Tankies and the people who hate Tankies.

    Thank you for posting this though. This thread has managed to reaffirm my faith in Lemmy users. It’s a relief to see that people who bitch about mods and “hurt feefees” are still ridiculed.

    It’s a shame, almost. After reading through this thread, I get the distinct impression there would’ve been much more spicy takes for you to die on. But, c’est la vie.




  • Human-caused climate change is likely playing a role, researchers said, but is probably not the only factor. Climate models predict a steady rise in sea surface temperatures, but not this quickly, and ocean surface temperatures also fluctuate and can be affected by natural climate variability, including patterns such as El Niño and La Niña.

    So scientists don’t yet know precisely why sea surface temperatures have climbed so high.

    The article is pretty damn clear that there’s something else going on, and it isn’t only climate change. Your own quote says “with some natural ocean processes that aren’t well understood playing a role, as well”.

    My point is not that climate change isn’t playing a big role or the main role here. My point is that there’s something else that’s also going on, and it’s there’s way too many comments saying “it’s climate change lmao”. The entire thesis of the article is that something beyond climate change is also raising temperatures.

    I’ll edit my comment to make it clear that climate change is likely the major cause, but I’m not going to delete a comment that’s trying to reinforce what the article is actually saying. As an engineer I consider it part of my job to make it clear what science news is actually saying. I’m no climate scientist, but I would prefer for people to actually listen to what the climate scientists are saying. And they’re saying it isn’t only global warming.
