People have children for lots of reasons. The "best" usually are somewhere in the neighborhood of "I think I have something to offer a child as a warm and loving parent"

The kind that produce AUG children who grow into AUG adults are often less about the kid and more about the parent or society, eg "I want my partner to love me/at least a child will love me" or "abortions aren't legal"

It's alright, I really don't either. Expensive, painful to have and may possibly kill you in the process, total time sink, sticky 80% of the time (other 20% spent in bath) and has thumbs. My mom warned me to never bring home a thing that has thumbs :colbert:

It does start to seep fluids though. Yes, you read that right. Little liquidy seeping tears in the skin being stretched over immense mounds of fat.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
With sex weirds, I think some of it boils down to bad parenting but not necessarily actively bad parenting. The person doesn't have to have crazy fundie parents to get like this. A lot of times it is kids that are a little bit neglected, with the parents being too passive or too lazy to nudge the kid in a better direction. They spend way too much unsupervised time on the internet, which lets these problems fester and grow. Once the parents get wind of the extent of it, they are often too embarrassed to actually do anything. And some Goony goon that spends 99% of his time alone in his room is a person mom and dad don't really have to confront.

It makes me wonder about how millennials raise their kids in terms of stuff like this. Will they be more proactive about keying in on a child that seems a little isolated and spending too much time on the computer, or will they be so normalized to it they don't interpret it as a problem?

Damnit do they still even make porn magazines? Gonna look into caching “perfect 10” or similar stuff in easily findable containers in my local forests. Gotta set these kids right.

I haven't been there in about 2 years, but the local Hustler store did in fact carry not only a lot of magazines, but DVDs (and a couple blu rays (mostly that Pirates one from years ago)).

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

At that point there’s people bringing her the kind of food and enough of it to keep her there. One of the takeaways I got from shows like 600lb life is the weight is a visible symptom of untreated trauma or a dysfunctional relationshitp. Some sort of codependency, or in one case it was the bedridden guy who was verbally/emotionally/mentally abusive in the ugliest ways to his wife.

Its my party
and I'll die if
I want to
Its amazing how probably kids playing RPGs or Table Top games is probably a much healthier emotionally than most stuff today because its social by its very nature. You need to have a group of people to play Vampire The Masquerade with, and be able to get along with them. Also the existence of clubs in school probably helped today. You could hang out with people and watch Ranma 1/2 after school on thursdays and that would be a social activity and teach you how to interact with others.

Anyways talking about mal adjusted nerds



The message isn't AUG, but its the attitude. They probably do have a problem with people coming in and going "hey can you turn on the game?" and maybe they're getting salty when the staff won't stop playing Ice Pirates. All they'd need to say is "hey there are a ton of other bars playing sports, please don't ask us to switch to the game' or even "this is a nerd bar for nerdy things, if you're looking for a sports bar, look elsewhere" but no, they have to make a stand, they have to shout geek pride and stick it to the dumb jocks who in their mind are coming in just to make fun of them for playing Catan while having a beer.

It makes me think of that dumb "In this house we respect the prime directive, the force, whatever dumb harry potter thing...." plaque I see every so often. You're not special because you like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings! They were some of the most popular things in recent history! You're not unique and special!

The Fplus episode about feeders broke me, I can never listen to that pod ever again, and when I hear about it I get really depressed because it is literally abuse.

I can't remember if it's 600lb Life or another documentary, but I remember this guy going in for stomach stapling surgery being tasked with losing a bit of weight in the hospital and somehow put on weight. Turns out his wife was bringing in Big Gulps and junk food for him. He ends up dying of heart failure or something.

There's a weird category of person who defines themselves through the media that they consume. I went to this bar in Vancouver recently that was "nerd-themed". On one hand, there was some cute stuff, like if you roll a 20 on a die you get a free shot glass or something like that. On the other hand, seeing a golden snitch activates my fight or flight response like crazy.

To put it more clearly, it doesn't matter when people identify with things or even get super into something. That doesn't matter. When people start taking it way too seriously is when it starts veering into this really AUG territory, like you told someone you just don't care for Harry Potter and they stop talking to you or whatever.

I supervise a bunch of undergrads and one of them basically got peer pressured by his friend group to stay on the Quidditch team because he was like their best player. They went to nationals.
