Women were under the opposite pressure: to stay a virgin. Also, some people don't want to be in relationships. In middle/high school, a lot of dating was obviously performative and they were only "dating" because of social pressures to do so. I'm no longer a teen, so I have no clue what the pressures are now. It could be the pressures are still there and more people are failing to meet them (hence, the incel community). I know they're not completely gone, because I still sometimes hear about things like people dating because they want to have someone for prom or whatever.

Given how complex mental health is, trying to tie it to just one thing that correlates with it is not very convincing. Likewise, even if incel culture is on the rise, it seems much more reasonable to connect that to the growth of the internet and the niche communities it allows to fester and become visible.

Feel like a higher rate of virgins could be a good sign that people aren't feeling pressured to do things they don't want to.

What are you doing with your phone that speeds up your pooping? O.o

Years ago I realized despite liking shows with lots of fights, often those were the parts I paid the least attention to. Think I like the genre because of the built-in breaks for my attention. But I'm also the type who was annoyed when my roommates paid for ad-free service on our livingroom TV because I preferred having them for the purpose of breaks.

Wonder if this depends on if other people are around.

One difference is normal such scenes are often in the second half of movies or sometimes even seasons into a show. So there's much more emotional connection to the characters and the setting is often much more private. Where with porn, often its quite quick to the sex with little good character development and you know going in that the point is to watch them have sex. Like, going to an orgy could be normal for someone, but like that doesn't mean they'd feel comfortable hiding in their roommate's closet and secretly watching them have sex.

Going to the bathroom and sleeping are also normal human behavior, but I'm still not gonna watch a show or movie that shows someone spending 10 minutes on the toilet. Not because I think its gross , but just boring imo. But given I consider myself aroace-spec, I don't expect my experience to necessarily be representative. And I think those things should be considered more normal in every-day life, rather than something that needs to be hidden, so normalizing it in media is probably a step forward.

Who says Russia can't join in on that goal? /j

This is reddit, right? /s(lowpoke)

Reddit would send notifications to your reddit inbox even on desktop. Don't remember getting any for 1-20 though. If hadn't viewed the old notification, you wouldn't get the notification for the milestone.

The existence of it.

The phone pocket. IME, pant manufactures put it on the right. If I wear pants without a phone pocket, then left pocket because wallet/keys are in my right pocket. When I use to wear pants without a phone pocket, it was inconsistent what went where. Just tried to keep phone and keys in opposites.

Had to look back at the comic to figure out what you were talking about.

Weird there aren't medical exceptions to said law about providing those services...

The last hypothetical isn't about trump. It's a random person using the same defense.

Pwa works just like an app... A bit too well. Would prefer still having some features of web browsers sometimes.

We believe in you!

Eww, allocishets. Don't give us cooties! /s

Not really sure what you expect. Queer people generally are probably going to be more comfortable around similar queer people because they are probably safer around them and don't have to deal with weird tiptoeing around things like:

to her/them although she/they told me she/they partially identified as nonbinary (correct pronoun usage pls .) but I don’t know if all this is the classic “but i have a black friend” argument that racists use.

where they may have good intentions and all, but make things a bit awkward by over-focusing on it (and also may come off as being more worried about how others perceive them than actually caring about the other people sometimes).

By tiptoe, they might mean tiktok?

I'm subbed to 34 community, majority aren't on kbin (they're on various lemmy instances). Think part of the problem is a lot of the communities I regulared on reddit had a lot of people go to raddle instead of fediverse because like 2 mods (on different subreddits) heard lemmy = tankies and pushed people to raddle instead.

Murder implies a moral judgement that its unjustified. Self defense against attempted murder is not murder even when the assailant is killed in the process.
