Deep Dive Into "Hurt" With Trent Reznor

"The vast majority of men’s leisure time is screen time, including video games and pornography. […] There is no risk involved, no exposure to hardship or danger in the least. It is, as Regnerus calls it, cheap sex. And it cheapens everyone involved." — Josh Hawley, Manhood (2023)

beating myself up over this til I get to my appointment

'resistance or obstacles in the path of your intentions or desires' seem necessary

Hi! So basically, the matches that i was using to light the candle for my altar kept braking, like the thing on the top that caught fire would fall off, or the match would break in half. I've been using this box of matches for a while now, and i clense them regularly (i even lit up my altar with them yesterday). I don't really know what it means, but i feel kind of like a sign, but i would appreciate a second opinion.

I think the matches breaking could signify resistance or obstacles in the path of your intentions or desires.

It's possible that there are external factors at play that are hindering your progress or causing challenges in your spiritual practice.

— so with sadness in my heart 

             i feel the best thing i could do 

                           is end it all and leave forever.

Irrational Man.

enjoyable colors to me. Do not know the show/character

Spedran this for the anniversary! Can't believe Danny Phantom is 20 years old.

It's been very cathartic to me to be honest to see a show about a character who can't keep up with everything in his life, but he keeps trying anyway. It helps with that neat autistic burnout.

Happy anniversary Danny. You did good. I hope you got to visit the moon.

Here is some Charli XCX for you because I love Charli XCX. It's really that simple. This was probably spurred on by @kat-eleven and I talking about the Lorde Remix of Girl, So Confusing which is really an absolute triumph. Sort of a fascinating look at a lot of things including how you can just squash drama if you want to. It's a good song. Anyway, here are some pics of Charli out and about promoting her stuff, she's having a moment and thank god, it's overdue. Today I want to fuck Charli XCX.

Much of the troubling content that comes to mind—especially when I am ejaculating—during a fap session falls into this category of human dignity violations

i hate that the word “goon” is associated with guys that jerk off to porn all day now. to me “goon” will always mean burly guys with a thick boston/new york/jersey accent that jump out of bed in black tracksuits and beanies , pick up their favorite crowbar , and carpool with the other goons to work to get their ass beat by batman

"The story of Pemberton and Coca-Cola is widely known, the stuff of urban legend. Back then, carbonation was a big deal, requiring special high-pressure jets to force enough carbon dioxide into a solution. There was no method for reinforcing standard glass bottles, so carbonation had to be done in pharmacies with special equipment and drunk on-site. This became known as the soda fountain. Thus, Coca-Cola was originally sold only in pharmacies. But there was another reason as well.

What is not widely known is that Pemberton was a morphine addict, after being wounded in the Civil War. The reason he developed his sacred formula was a long-standing attempt to wean himself off his addiction."
