  • Eh, culture bleeds. It mixes at the edges.

    Since lemmy in specific was meant to be reddit with less overt rejection of left wing subject matter, there’s so many similarities that they’re going to have a lot of overlap in the kinds of people that want to use them.

    Then, since lemmy was initially populated by ex reddit users, you run into the foundational culture being essentially the same. Each wave of r/efugees after that causes a fresh mixing, followed by some of those leaving and the rest adapting more towards lemmy culture norms.

    The lack of ability to just r/ random words helps weed out low effort shit like woosh and thathappned. So you already have a discernable decrease in empty headed snark. There’s still plenty of it, and lemmy has its own population of assholes that snark in a different way.



  • Well, it isn’t that punitive measures serve no purpose. They do. But that purpose doesn’t decrease the chances of a given crime occurring by other people, nor does it prevent the same people repeating a crime. To the contrary, the way most prisons work, chances are that anyone going on comes out with less options, and more knowledge of crime, so even if they don’t repeat the same offenses, they’re put in position to do others out of necessity.

    But it does seem to make people feel better when someone else gets punished for doing something wrong. Which, in theory, is going to reduce vigilantism and mob justice. In practice? I dunno, I haven’t seen enough data to form an opinion about that specific matter.

    Generally, the reason it shouldn’t be the main goal of a justice system is lack of efficacy. It just doesn’t do what people want it to do. So, what’s the point of that?

    If your goal is to reduce crime, and reduce recidivism, rehabilitation has shown to do a better job. Prisons should be the last resort for non violent crimes, not the first. Even then if prisons hope to do more than isolate repeat offenders, they would need to have more intensive measures to help people change.





  • Well, not all pies are desserts for sure, but a tomato pie is, unless you deviate from the usual recipes.

    Besides, you didn’t say that a dessert has to be a cake.

    There’s also tomato jams, compote, and you can do a tomato cake mind you, a tomato cake is really more like banana bread, where it’s a flavoring more than the star of the show.

    Point is that tomatoes can definitely serve in the same role as “fruit”, just like some things that are sweeter can be used in savory dishes.

    It’s about the preparation, not the ingredient. I mean, look at bacon jam. Not a dessert, but it’s a savory and sweet spread that’s used in the same was as fruit based jams. Onion jam is in the same range (and, as a side note, there’s also onion and tomato pie which is more of a savory dish than a dessert, despite being fairly sweet anyway).

    From a culinary standpoint, there are few ingredients that are fully excluded from dessert territory by virtue of having strong savory taste. There’s also not many excluded from entrees purely because they’re sweet. It’s all a wonderful spectrum of sweet and savory


  • Yup. It can exhibit anywhere. In general, you’ll see people having a “preference” for specific spots, but it’s fairly rare for it to be exclusive to only one.

    After head hair, eyebrows tend to be the most common, followed by arms.

    Those that grow facial hair would likely be higher in the list except that not everyone grows enough of it to be able to pull it at all. But you’ll often see folks dealing with the issue try to pull at the sideburn area even if they don’t grow anywhere else, and even if it isn’t long enough.

    I’ve heard that it’s largely based on ease of reach rather than anything else. Otherwise you’d see it on the lower extremities more often.

    But it is an unconscious thing, so that makes sense. If they could consciously choose where to pluck, everyone dealing with trichotillomania would just hit the easier to hide spots first.





  • Well, this one is difficult to answer without going into details about past partners that are beyond what I’m willing to disclose. There’s specific stories involved, including personal details about their bodies and lives; those aren’t mine to give away.

    That being said, I’m not a fan of anal. In my youth, I tried it a good bit because there was this idea that anal didn’t count as losing virginity. Then, years later, it would be the occasional thing where a new-ish partner would offer out in a way I wasn’t willing to decline. This was before I learned that it was okay to turn down offers like that.

    Some women will indicate that anal can/should happen because they think that every man wants to do it, and either want to meet that standard, or want to give their partner something special. That second one is where I initially felt conflicted about turning it down.

    So, back then, I would usually just not orgasm/ejaculate. I almost always used condoms anyway, so it wasn’t like it was obvious if I did or not.

    It wasn’t until much later that I ran into someone that genuinely enjoyed anal for their own sake. And that makes a difference in how it feels, as well as the overall experience. When the woman is eager for it, enjoys the entire process, and wants another go at it after you recover, it becomes much more enjoyable. A partner that orgasms from anal is just different than someone that’s just taking it in the ass because they think they should.

    Everything changes. Their movements, the sounds they make, how they approach leading into anal. If someone is into it, even the sensations of that first thrust change compared to someone that’s okay with it, but not into it for its own sake.

    Now, I can’t say I’ve grown to love it. It’s still at the bottom (heh) of my list of places to put my penis. But when a partner is into it, I enjoy it and can reach orgasm as well. Which, enjoyment and reaching orgasm aren’t inherently tied together, as a tangent.






  • Well, that’s not really my thing, the whole servant thing, but I like thought experiments, so ima pretend.

    Truth is, the way I’m feeling today, I’m going to have them give me a massage. I don’t even care if they’re naked, and the happy ending isn’t necessary. I just want a back rub lol.

    However, since we’re having fun here, having them naked and using their entire body as part of the massage, that is a very fun thing that I experienced in the past, and would absolutely have my little sex monkey do again.

    One of the benefits of being a big dude is that I can have even really big women use a lot of their mass behind a massage. Smaller women, I can handle walking on me. While that isn’t arousing for me, the whole submissive side of it, it feels fucking awesome. Even really strong guys can’t get as much pressure onto your back with their as someone walking on it.

    So, a nice naked rub down that’s primarily focused on the actual message part, with a little extra fun involved? That would be lovely indeed.
