Guys will literally learn how to develop trustworthy, mutually emotionally intimate relationships with friends, family, their community, and themselves instead of going to therapy.
@ThanksThoth@TylerAlterman I think it CAN just be a fun activity for fun. But I think it's also hard to say for certain that that's what someone will feel it was beforehand. It's such an intensely intimate act that I can't imagine doing it without a sense of surrender for how it would make me feel.
@snowboardcouple @ThanksThoth@TylerAlterman There's nothing wrong with it if everyone is on the same page. I just think predestinately placing a cap on what is possible between you and a partner is dehumanizing. After the novelty runs out there is infinite nuance to explore. Why close off the possibility of going deeper?
Personally, I'm leaving the man hanging like a pendulum til the end of time.
I recognize I have that privilege, and am not interested in trying to diminish or distance myself from the fact that I benefit from it. I wouldn't judge or take it to mean much if anyone did slap 5 tho.
It's far too easy in the messy, and oftentimes intellectually far removed discourse surrounding police abolition to forget or overlook the practical realities faced by those at the forefront of a carceral state... (0/x)
Say you're at the bball court and cops roll up to play. One winds up on your team and ends up hitting a NASTY fadeaway jump shot. Can you honestly say you KNOW you'd stick to your principles, leaving them hanging when they go for what would be an otherwise well deserved high 5?
one of my coworkers low key didn't really like me because I thought he was weird and avoided him mostly but then I somehow squashed the whole beef by convincing him we should ALWAYS greet one another like Arnold and Danny Glover in Predator
@SeanMombo Germans copied this and it really fucking confused me at first that they could borrow from my language and I wouldn't understand what they meant 😅
@05lifecut When people are bombarded with gratuitous tutorials they get repeatedly knocked out of whatever flow state they're in or trying to enter. Instead of learning the intuitive logic of the game they're given the answers.
Do you understand how this makes them feel like idiots? y/n
