Idk i think some people miss the point of someone who's around my age lamenting that they've never dated or done anything or been in love, but really want to be. I saw someone who was 24 ask whether there was still hope for them (which I know is kinda dramatic), and the person who responded was like "do you have friends and family who love you and whom you love? Have you ever read a good book or eaten fruit or sat in the sunlight. Love is everyhwere 🥺❤️🥺❤️" and like yeah yeah I get that little love and platonic love is just as important as romantic and sexual love but really none of that changes the fact that that person and many others like them are desiring a specific kind of love under very specific circumstances and conditions. Loving your parents isn't the same as loving a significant other lol. And idk it feels patronizing or infantilizing I think, to see someone who's never been in a relationship and would like to experience that kind of bond with someone only to tell them "no actually you should love your friends and family and eat some good food ❤️" idk idk I understand the intentions but. People desire to be desired in specific ways. People want to feel desired sexually and Romantically and to know that they're wanted in those capacities. Yes it's not the only metric by which to measure one's value, but we're not being unrealistic or naive by desiring this. Yes all the other stuff is important but you would not tell someone who doesn't have friends not to worry about platonic love bc maybe they have an SO already and also the sun is shining and their parents love them and people are being kind for no reason. it's starting to get annoying

yeah fr like it gets old REAL quick this line in particular HITS People desire to be desired in specific ways

We need to make it clear early on that anyone spouting this drivel is either a domestic abuse apologist or an abuser themselves. Because let us be extremely clear here: what these men miss is literal ownership of their wives. That is what they want, that is what they are aiming for. That is its own form of domestic violence, and it encourages other forms of domestic violence.

Edit: Since multiple radfems have reblogged this addition, I feel like it is fucking essential to point out that while this push is clearly and obviously coming from misogynistic cis men and primarily directed at cis women married to cis men, that domestic abusers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, assigned sexes, genders, and backgrounds. If this bullshit were to pass, it would 110% be utilized by abusive cis women to prevent their husbands from escaping them and these male survivors would have even less recourse because of how unlikely it is that they will be believed about the domestic violence they've endured. Domestic violence is an LGBTQ+ issue also, but I seriously doubt that if society has regressed to the point where no fault divorce has been rescinded, that same sex or perceived same sex marriages would be legal, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Any ideology that promotes the idea that men are always abusers or are the only abusers, and/or that women cannot be abusers of other humans regardless of assigned sex or gender, are ALSO abuse apologists or abusers themselves.

Anyway, I wrote this in a very truncated way that can apparently be misread by bigots and other fools, so I thought it was critical to clarify what I'm saying here.

Reblogging this for my necessary correction. Do not reblog the prior version if you happen to see it, and maybe check up on who you saw it from to make sure they're not a terf or similar bigot that you're inadvertently following.

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

do you know that i think of this post every time i can’t sleep op. what mythbusters did for you, you have done for a great many others.

Hey with all the piracy going on, be careful

the-fancy-cookie

you don’t know what could have a virus, don’t blindly trust random people on tumblr/twitter offering free cartoons!

I’ve been pirating stuff a couple years and I want to give some advice in case someone hasn’t done it before

-The piracy subreddit (reddit.com/r/piracy) is a great place to start, there’s a guide there that can give you links to everything you would want (streaming sites,torrenting sites,where to get roms,what torrenting programs to use ect.)

- if your streaming ALWAYS USE A AD BLOCKER (and cookie clearer if you want extra protection) piracy sites 99% of the time are full of ads and pop-ups. If you don’t want to a bunch of local milfs in your area ads covering your screen use a ad blocker. Any ad blocker will work but I’m currently using ublock origin + privacy badger

-if your torrenting ALWAYS USE A VPN,even if it’s a free shitty one. If you don’t use a VPN your isp could try to shut off your internet if you get caught pirating or you could be fined if you live in certain countries, also its generally safer. If you don’t have the money to pay for a VPN I would recommend proton vpn, it’s free and it doesn’t keep logs (which means you data isn’t being kept and sold like most free vpns)

- this is mentioned in the megathread on r/piracy but I’ll mention it here just to make sure. try to avoid using pirate bay,it’s full of malware and viruses. Also don’t use utorrent (when you install it it also installs a bitcoin miner), I would recommend using qbittorrent instead.
