I am so tired of hearing the "mouse utopia".
It was one experiment with so many variables, that we have no fucking idea what happened to the mouse culture.

Even the fact, that it was a freaking mouse culture means we cannot just extrapolate it to our way of life.

People are taking this single case example, and treating it like a fucking law for some fucking reason. That is insanity.

Holy shit I love capitalism more now, I want capitalism in my mouth right now

One idea that's been stuck in my head recently is about committed decisions and the point of no return.

Basically that after making one decision it "locks you into a path" and forces you to act differently based on that afterwards.
To one extent this is about living with your choices. If you choose to buy a house or a car, you have to deal with it. However it also causes you to "buy in" to a certain lifestyle. If you buy a pickup truck you might look for excuses to use it to carry things. If you buy an expensive car you might want to show it off to raise your status. Even if those were not your intentions in the first place, that decision affects your "path" forwards in life to some degree that otherwise would not have happened.

At some point people may buy into something so heavily that it becomes a cornerstone of their mental identity. You can see this a lot with political ideologies, sexual and "gender" identity, fandoms, etc. Where to the point that if you removed that, the person would not be the same. Basically creating a traumatic shock.

The point I think I'm trying to make is that small decisions add up significantly over time. Especially when it comes to the overall trajectory and momentum of a persons life.

@Giganova8 @LukeAlmighty @JedKron1248 @Shadowman311 @WashedOutGundamPilot @Zealist @grey @sargoysmuck It does if you understand compounding interest, years and years of boys being introduced to pornography at younger and younger ages let’s that poison grow in their minds and souls. There is never an instantaneous change in human behavior, it’s a gradual compounding shift of perception.

By the time you are in your teens, the most moldable time in your youth, boys and girls are bombarded with sexual imagery and porn acceptance. Overtime, they will only see relationships as something that has to be just as good or better than what they see on screen.

@Saber @WashedOutGundamPilot @LukeAlmighty @JedKron1248 @Shadowman311 @Twoinchdestroya @grey @sargoysmuck @Giganova8 this is something that's not talked about enough, birth control actually is a big issue, i'v eheard plenty of stories second and thirdhand about how women come off the pill to actually have a baby with their husbands, and suddenly find they're not even attracted to them anymore, and vice versa.

@RupertvonRipp @Zealist @JedKron1248 @sargoysmuck @LukeAlmighty @grey @Shadowman311 @Twoinchdestroya Talk to anyone in the ED and they’ll give you insane horror stories about the kids today. Pornos never talk about the necessary preparation and enemas, so you have a whole lot of sphincter trauma and shitting.

Imagine being a teenager and trying to hide a high pressure spray of projectile diarrhea when you hear the garage door open, only for your gf to be taken to the hospital and screamed at that she may need a colostomy bag
