  • The fact you’re using terms like “body count” indicates a little immaturity.

    I’ve only met teens and young adults who care about such things - as you get older, you accrue more and more experiences with other people. It’s unavoidable. People fuck. That’s a wonderful part of life.

    If you’re icked that you’re not the first person to be intimate with someone and have an expectation that they should have fewer or zero experiences before you, you need to ask yourself why the fuck does it matter?

    If it’s because of the risk of STI/STDs then you should both get tested before you engage in any sexual activity. But that has nothing to do with body count, really, does it? You can have one experience and still get an STD.

    If it’s because of something you struggle to articulate, you need to ask yourself if it’s simply an issue with your ego and anxiety that the other person has had more or better experiences before than they have/will have with you.

    And personally, nothing gives me the ick more than someone with a fragile ego.





  • The very definition of enshittification:

    Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two-sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.
