I like the idea of self-improvement in the sense of becoming even more yourself. I believe there is some kind of path(s) in each of us. It takes effort to recognise it – you can say: accept it – and even more to actually pursue it filtering out from the external noise all influences that do not fit. We all have ideas, dreams and wishes, but we have to listen carefully to hear them.

So the sun have been a giant one-directional LED all along?

Thanks for clarifying! I initially thought of D&D

Thank you for mentioning neocities. I did not stumble over this project until now and I love it!

They could also choose not to. Also, I have never heard of any game not selling well due to piracy. It just leads to producers not earning quite as much money as they could theoretically (though it is debatable if pirating people really would buy the game instead of just refraining completely).

Idk, people can be and are spectacularly amazing too. So maybe do open the door or at least have a little peak?

How is torrenting “making it worse for everyone else”?

I am not sure, if memes alone contain enough information. When I do not understand an interesting meme, I look it up, so I learn from the context consisting of news (at least indirectly) not the meme itself.

With these measures, there won’t be a free market, which means the creation of value will be regulated. I don’t see why you would call it capitalism.

FetLife is a good counterexample I did not know yet. And I completely agree: there is nothing wrong with women willingly doing porn.

But looking at other freely available porn, I cannot agree that only some porn studios treat their actors like submissive cash cows doing literally anything to feed the dopamine rush of their viewers. Sure the actors are paid for it. Prostitutes also get paid and still nobody would claim they are enjoying their job. In the end, we all need money to survive.

I agree. In our society, watching porn is normal. I went more after the feeling of the word.

Watching porn to get relief.

I – as many other guys in this society – learned to watch porn at a young age. So I wired sexual stimulation as well as the dopamine release after orgasm to porn. For many years of my life, I would not masturbate without it.

I denied my addiction because everyone watches porn, right? Also I thought, being addicted to porn means sitting at home all day fapping and watching more and more perverse stuff. So I can’t be addicted, if I watch porn once a week, right?

Well, it took me a long time to figure all that out. The society having such a positive attitude towards porn did not help. Maybe, we all are addicted. I think it’s super fucked up. If not due to the effect it has on our brains, then at least due to the humiliation of women for capital.

But isn’t the government hosting something like reddit better than the current state? The government is elected after all, while reddit isn’t. At the same time, nothing ensures, reddit isn’t used for propaganda.

Ah, I see!

What are your tasks that bore you?

fast forward

You’ve got a point. Thanks for the encouraging take!

We’ve done it before and made the lives of millions better. and we can do it again.

What are you referring to? No arguing, just curios.

Neat! How do the glasses work? Do they block red light, making you kind of more awake?

Thank you for the lead. I will look into it
