Name a more provocative piece

I second the opinions for therapy.

I’ve struggled with porn addiction in the past, and I would say I still have to police myself to some degree.

However, after getting some therapy, I’m a lot better about not letting it affect my sex life.

I watch porn, but try to prioritize productive activities that build my relationship. If I watch porn instead of doing that some days, I don’t beat myself up over it. I just observe how it makes me feel, how it makes everyone around me feel (if I take too long getting ready in the morning, for instance).

I cannot stress enough how badly beating yourself up for relapsing keeps you in a negative cycle. It’s really awesome that you’ve identified an area of your life that you’d like to improve, but you don’t get there by focusing on what you don’t like.

Also read into urge surfing! It’s pretty simple. You just wait out your urges. It can be hard to do. But pretty much all urges follow the pattern of increasing in intensity until they reach a peak, then decreasing. So if you can wait through the peak of the urge, it will decrease.

My therapist specialized in addiction therapy, and they also gave me the advice to observe my feelings through every part of the day without judgement. So if you do beat up the bishop one day, try to stave off the shame and just observe. It really helps.

Instead of feeling bad for masturbating, I’ve noticed I get lethargic after I masturbate and that it can affect my perceptions of people depending on the content. This makes me want to forgo the activity much more than negative feelings. I’m aware of the actual consequences, I’m just not giving myself anxiety over it. This allows me to understand where I can fit the activity into the day if I choose to, as well as weigh the actual value and consequences of the action. And if the consequences aren’t worth it after you’ve observed them, you’ll have the knowledge and agency to shut down those urges and break free. Best of luck.

Because it’s so fucking impressive from a technical level.

John Kricfalusi is insane (and a groomer). He actually got fired from Ren and Stimpy for two reasons. The first being “creative differences” (read: dude, why are you putting so much sex and shock humor into this kids’ cartoon?), and the second being a failure to meet deadlines.

That failure to meet deadlines was due to the fact that he would make animators work for days on just a few frames. If it didn’t look exactly right, if one line was off about it, it got sent back and redone.

I don’t really think R&S is the funniest show, and they certainly go out of their way to make you not want to look at it, but fuck it is gorgeous from a technical standpoint.

Whereas 38-year-olds that date 17-year-olds are fine, morally.

You know, I don’t think there is a term.

So, I’ll coin it: Washingtonism.

Our first President famously advised against political parties. He also stepped down after two turns, establishing a tradition that later became part of the Constitution after FDR won his third term.

He also had slave teeth.

I’m sorry, did we watch the same clips?

Kennedy had some uppity comebacks to the (also corrupt) committee interviewing him, but he barely defended himself.

He’s been head of the HHS for 8 months now, and there were so many points where he just did not have any numbers for them. Feels like he’s talking out of his ass and turning what could be an opportunity to show his plan working into a shit fight between children.

Yo mama so stupid…

She bought tickets to see XBOX LIVE

Ouch, yeah get that checked out

I got diagnosed when I was 15 and spent years saying, “Obviously I’m not autistic,” instead of learning how to live life autistically.

Surprise, surprise, here we are as an adult now still dealing with autism symptoms and trying to learn to cope while working full-time.

If they ever had a kid he could have cracked the Brooklyn Bridge in two with his jaw

Free gravel is so busted compared to the rest. Gravel’s one of those things that you don’t need often, but someone in any town on any given day will need some.

You could undercut every single other gravel business. Even if the competition lowers their prices dramatically, they can’t go lower than their costs. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no costs on material. Gravel monopoly.

I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Man, those crazy legs kept me up all night.

Uncle Danny!

I know that cat let it go to his head, too

No wait time either. I did it while reading the sentence.

As if. One can imagine…

Get Buddha some heroin, stat. We gotta fix this.

The thumbnail alone just put it in my head for a week. Do it, Rock-A-Pella!

Good-looking water was what people were focusing tech on. Look at Wave Race 64. I still don’t think Mario Sunshine’s water has been topped.
