lemmyNSFW account; I post to the celeb communities and “asklemmy” communities.
I honestly NEVER had ‘a talk’ with my parents, they just let me get it all from school sex-ed and the internet. Tbf, probably less awkward hearing it from our wacky PSHE teacher rather than from my parents. I think treating these things like an event makes them uncomfortable, and mentioning things in passing (should any topic arise) is better.
No need 😅
The reason I posted this is because it’s a topic that always interests me - I’m surprised that such a simple thing (how naked is it okay to be around your family and friends) seems to have no consensus.
I find it weird that the majority of society is in the “no nudity” camp but hollywood movies and television suggests women walk around in their panties all the time at home - are they just doing that for fanservice?
And I fundamentally quite agree with the philosophy that being more relaxed around nudity is helpful for cultivating an attitude of less shame. So I’m always interested to hear what people have to say about this.
Either they value your privacy because they care about you to some degree (I get the feeling this is common)
OR they spy on you constantly and you turn into a psychopath (many cases of the children of spies and security agents being completel psychos)
Just curious… cuz maybe I have an idea for storywriting… maybe…
I guess the most interesting storytelling device here would be to make the kid a young tech genius so they can evade the scrutiny of their parents
Totally. If they’ve already seen it all, i say fuck it.
I’m not a nudist but I’m fine being naked around immediate family, and cousins when going swimming. A lot of people seem surprised by this if it comes up in conversation. The bottom line is that nudity doesn’t have to be a sexual thing, and with family it never is.
Do you think all monopolies should be split into different companies, and then given to the workers who would collectivize them?
Some areas should just be nationalised, so if a water company, train line, airline, network provider, energy provider, car manufacturer becomes big enough then the government should aim to own their monopoly.
I like worker owned things as well, but there’s no use introducing it unless the situation demands it. If we take amazon as an example, i would have to see it reach that point only after failing to comply to demands like paying taxes and treating workers with respect. We should legislate these things into being better rather than taking over.
Because the economy should generally aim to be as simple and efficient in organisation as possible.
I’m not a reddit fan or hater, there’s just niche communities I like being apart of on reddit that I can’t communicate with anymore.
Same man, same…
Here are some more facts about reddit IP bans:
You should also avoid quickly joining all your favourite subreddits, because it flags accounts for that. Basically move like a tortoise when you rejoin, and then after a while you can use reddit normally.
You can get banned from any community if the mods decide to - the good news is a communty called “ye power tripping bastards” which serves as the court to get an appeal, if that’s important to you
I can completely understand wanting to use reddit again (hope you stick with us too, if you do) but you should know it’s super hard to get past any kind of permanent ban.
Did you use multiple reddit accounts or just one? the problem for me is that i got IP banned because they detected me logging in to a banned one on the same browser. It is borderline impossible for me to use reddit for commenting & posting again.
most of the people on it seem to be crazy or racist
Yeah I would credit that to twitter, which is how it spreads.
I’m not deep into the world of online blog congregators but I think medium is the clean alternative to Substack.
It’s a place for twitter users to roleplay as intellectual essayists (okay some of them are totally worthwhile tbf) because twitter itself is designed for sharing brainfarts rather than cognizant thoughts
I know that feeling. “Am I hungry or is my mouth just under-stimulated?”
even if it’s quite small by cis guy standards.
What makes you say that? Our dicks come in all shapes and sizes.
You can refer to “unravelling size” or CalcSD to get a better understanding of member proportions if you haven’t already seen those sites
Dick size isn’t really as big an issue as people make it out to be - it’s genuinely how you use it.
You just left a digital slap mark on their ass
That’s cute! And very restrained on the smuttiness, SmuttyLad
Yeah. Although, every baby boomer who’s talked to me about catholic school seems really traumatised by it
I’ve taught him about “low quality” content and we’ve watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say “no, that’s going to be low quality,” he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.
Honestly never thought about how I would teach my (hypothetical, future) kid this stuff. I have the benefit of a decade of experience learning how youtube works and living through the clickbait endemic.
I guess that’s why it’s so important for parents to navigate YouTube together with them. My first experience of YT was also watching cool stuff like VSauce and Lego animations with my family.
That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn’t disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child
Sometimes you see toddlers who are just playing blaring loud noises from tablets at restaurants. You also see adults&teenagers doing that on trains… I guess I would point them out to my kid afterwards and say “that’s what happens when you watch too mcuh brainrot!”
“Incest: it’s hot as long as it’s someone else’s family doing it”
It is bizarre how prevalent the tangentially incestuous stuff is (‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’), and also how much people joke about it. I guess humans can follow herd behaviour even when it comes to sex
Sure
If i remember correctly they let us write questions on paper and hand it over anonymously. That way you could ask questions regarding the opposite sex without seeming so weird to them.
