Yeah I didn't want to mention that because I don't like to share them nonconsensually. I also mark them as NSFW of course. At the instance I post them they're welcomed. But yes my username checks out. 🤭
I'm in Europe, circumcision is very rare here.
I probably should make a separate account though to post SFW. Thanks for the reminder
Wow you are a girl and you've next got one? All of my female friends get them constantly.
What I get a lot is "young girls" saying they're sooo interested in me. With profiles that were just created. I'm sure they're actually a hairy guy named Pyotr.
Individualism is kinda the opposite of confucianism. Confucianism teaches that an individual is worth nothing and they must give all to family and state. I don't agree with that. I deeply believe in thriving through self-exploration, free from peer pressure and especially religious dogma.
I wasn't directly thinking about work ethic there, I just really hate the basic principles of Confucianism. I feel it's restricting people. In the western world we have the same things, but they come from religions and conservatism instead (see the hate against trans people these days in the US). They're also not as strongly embedded into society as they are in Confucian countries as far as I can tell. We value individualism a lot more, especially on the leftish/progressive side.
The reason I mentioned it is because Confucianism is often idolised in the Western world ("look there in China / Korea they still care about each other!") but it's also a terrible straightjacket for people not able or willing to conform to whatever stuff their society expects. Because people that impose rules upon themselves tend to want to impose those rules upon others even those that don't share their belief.
I don't mind others having belief systems but let me have none. And that's really the part where things tend to not work out.
Also, deliberately ignoring things you're worrying about backfires when they do come to pass, because then you feel guilty for ignoring them and like you're losing control.
At least it's like that for me. Perhaps not for you, I hope so!
I've had much more success with just embracing who I am, flaws included, than with trying to change my nature. I was able to achieve much more by stopping to try to be someone I'm not.
Good point. It's just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes
