Honestly this discussion also highlights the issue that what’s considered inappropriate varies widely and often changes both in terms of prejudice and in terms of context. Most people would agree that an image of a penis entering or inside of a vagina is pornographic unless it’s a medical diagram laying out the anatomical and physiological aspects like the one in the anatomy book my otherwise puritanical parents let me read at the age of six. Most people would agree that nudity is sexual except for, again, anatomical diagrams, but also many classical artistic depictions such as paintings and statues. Hand holding isn’t generally considered sexual except to some people if the people happen to be of the same sex but not if you come from a culture where hand holding is a normal level of intimacy for non sexual friends. Breasts are for some reason considered sexual in most of the areas heavily colonized by people from the places where lactose tolerance past childhood evolved but not most other places which is super handy if you like being able to feed infants. Most people agree that kissing for an extended period while rubbing areas close to the genitals is sexual, but often not enough to restrict it from being viewed by teenagers.

TLDR; what’s even considered “sexual” or “porn” can vary wildly and has historically been used to suppress education, various minorities, and general freedom of expression.

That was the whole purpose of tumblr so yeah. I kid, as I did get started on there at like 14 as a part of various Fandoms, but by the time I was 18 I had been using it for porn for quite some time, largely because fandom is also mostly for porn.

It would be nice to be able to have a view that only tallies the votes from your local server, but IDK about listing all the individuals in an easily accessible manner.

What I really want though is a rolling deletion of my activity that’s older than 3-6 months. I understand there’s no way to erase these things entirely, especially from decentralized servers, but I do wish the internet could revert to being a little more ephemeral. You can also go look through public records and go back years in real life, but it’s not easy.

Honestly we balance each other really well and have some really interesting discussions but I should be clear that it looks like this more than anything else:

It’s kinda like the deism vs theism debate in the final Space Odyssey; at least one god vs no more than one god.

my vagina endorses this message (fwiw)

This libertarian redneck does! I also like taxing the ever loving fuck outta billionaires so they can’t mess with muh freedums. I also absolutely love this bit because a) it’s 100%FAX and b) my neighbor across the cul-de-sac actually did get caught breeding illegal reptiles.

This is what I’m saying. Shit ain’t going anywhere now bitches!

See this was kinda at the core of the question (but I wasn’t really able to articulate it at the time). What if someone was just a huge enough nerd that they were already walking around with some kind of reference sheet tattooed on?

This is what I’m saying!

I was going through my old comments. I like hearing if my advice works so I can give better advice in the future, although I’m certain you didn’t only take it from me.

Also, aside from friendships certainly not counting as a loss, a lot of men really underestimate the value of networking. Even if you’re not her type, odds are you might be one of her friends’ types and you want women to think you’re chill enough to be willing to introduce you to their friends who might be into you.

Sorry to bother!

So how did it go?

Leaving the tide pools. Possibly even forming proteins to begin with. I much more enjoyed being stardust.
