Americans scream that you cannot possibly have a society without high taxes, but why could the USA have a civilization and low taxes in 1920?

Americans say that you cannot have morals without tyranny, but why could the US have morality and freedom in 1950?

When you grow up where I grew up, you learn to defend yourself. It's scary to admit, but yes, I've had to ward off any would be sexual assaulters and it's in the shaky aftermath of times like those where I appreciate all the time and effort I've put into my self-defense preparations.

You see, I have this anti-sodomy device that I "wear" at all times, especially in the city. It's a telescoping steel cylinder with a silicone "faux-sphincter", and an inviting one at that. The idea is simple. When I'm accosted by a particularly ravenous sort, I pre-emptively pull down my trousers (or simply unzip the butt flap as is the case on Saturday nights) and present myself to them. This is to "cut to the chase", so to speak, and avoid any punches or cross chops to my face. In the dim light of the city night, that "faux-sphincter" looks just like a real one, and an inviting one at that.

Here's where my training pays off. There's a brief moment of discomfort as the sexual assaulter, or I guess you can call them a rapist, ram jams their beefy beef into my anti-sodomy device. The telescoping steel cylinder is driven back, forcefully, acting as a firing pin, until it collides with an explosive charge very much like a shotgun shell. That silicone "faux-sphincter" becomes the projectile, and with the amount of zesto peppo I pack in my shotgun ass, that rapist's dick is blown clean off, often resulting in enough blood loss to kill them as a dick wound like that is almost always impossible for even skilled surgeons to close up properly (I've seen them try).

The only penetration I truly suffer is that of a hot, smoking gun barrel, and I rather like that feeling if that's not too deviant to admit.

Me when my steak is too buttery and juicy

have you considered making a youtube channel? ive been kinda lonely and almost never get a reply on my comments, but thought maybe making a channel would be a good way to engage with others or at least get replies. you might be in the same boat.

You need actual friends(female) and hobbies

>>330238
Yeah that's because you're not actually unplugging. Unplugging is shutting down your laptop, leaving your phone at home (or even better, getting a dumb phone) and going outisde. Blocking random sites isn't "unplugging".

The answer to everyone's problems in this thread is literally just to get IRL friends and start doing IRL things.

>>332305
Online friend is an oxymoron. It's like having a long distance relationship.

I have some ideas to reduce doomscrolling
- When you notice you're spending more than 2 hours on your phone consecutively, take an immediate break and go walking around the block
- Use a computer/laptop to browse the net instead of the phone when possible
- Get into exercising a little bit more twice a week, even 20 minutes twice a week is good

discover of the year.
This way of thinking is also how troons think they identify as women
>being a woman is when feminine or bimbo
it's the idealization of an abstract idea

I stayed up till 8 am today rereading the same manga. What is wrong with me? It's been two weeks I need to stop getting obssesed over it so much. I'll probably dig the net to see if I can find some more doujins or even buy one from second hand japanese sites. Anyway the interesting thing is I found similar themes connected to each other in different artworks/mediums which is a good thing I guess.

>>329496
Real bodies have life. You can hold them in your arms and interact with them.

>>329496
Real bodies have pee and poo too.

Oh Im laffin

i'm surprised the suicide rate isn't higher

Cause moids are running everything and they love opression

The anime/videogames to troon pipeline needs a serious academic study. This loser wants turn into his own sexdoll.

>>331665 “all I’ve missed out on” sometimes this shit pisses me off because like. Ah, all you’ve missed out on? You mean being treated like a second class citizen for the way you were born? It always reveals they don’t know anything about what it’s actually like to be born and raised a woman. Obviously it isn’t all doom and gloom (I love being a woman) but they seem so oblivious of the way female socialization hurts women. They just want skirt go spinny.

I'd tell girls I know to check it out but I feel like they would easily recognize my posts

>>31740
I encourage some of my female online friends to post here, I know my posts are easily recognized but I'm pathetic and vent about everything to them anyway, so they already know.

What if these two people know each other irl

We're still figuring this out

I dont trust psychiatrists/therapists at all. Unless someone has schizophrenia or something I feel therapy is largely unnecessary and self indulgent

I have been going for a year but I think I need a break. It feels like another task now and I feel like I say things to get kudos and praise even if it’s not true. I hate being a people pleaser.

I'm going there as a part of "working on myself" to work on my avoidant attachment but I'm not sure I expect progress. anyone have a good experience with it?

Colorado,Washington,Oregon, New Mexico, or Massachussets
California is pretty amazing, its economy is larger than most individual countries, but its too damn expensive to lie there.

Because feral horses are an invasive species that shit up public land but they're also incredibly romanticized. You can even see it in the language used in the article. The horses on public land are feral (just like stray cats and dogs, pigs in the south, etc.) and not wild, and The BLM is not in charge of "protecting wild horses", they're in charge of MANAGING feral horse populations, and that includes removal and culling. The same people who will scream until they're blue in the face about the shitty practices and land management of cattle ranching and who want to get rid of every other invasive species will also scream until they're blue in the face about how the precious wild horsies need to be protected.

This also isn't anything new. The federal government has been capturing, selling and culling them for 55 years now.

>>332653
Why do you hate horses, what's wrong with you

Do you guys believe the theory that her husband pressured her into having kids or raped her and that's why she went insane? I don't really but I know a lot of people who defend her say this

>>332638
I haven’t heard anything that indicates that.
What I did hear is she kept working night shifts while trying to take care of the kids, and if she has bipolar that’s very dangerous and could have potentially provoked an episode. (Or deteriorated her mental health further)

>>332538
She was in the prodromal phase where she started to lose it but wasn't all the way gone. That's when you start to lose your mind so she probably started planning their murders then but still knew better than to go through with it. She basically wasn't in control of her own actions, this is part of why I believe she should be free and at most put in mandatory therapy or given meds. The system failed her

>>332644
The system has failed a lot of us. Most of us have mental health issues at this point. Shockingly most of us do not commit murder.
>>332642
That's even worse. Her moid was well off. I have sympathy for all the mothers stuck with kids who still have to work but when you get the chance to be a stay at home parent and choose not to? You had the choice.

Can people please stop looking for reasons to defend murder. It just makes us all look bad. Not sure if any of you have checked but there's a bunch of conservative moids in charge right now who would really like to throw away our rights.
