i feel the best thing i could do

hmm is complaining about media something women like to do? Would it be good for me if I did it more? I honestly am unable to tell
the lotr trilogy are the best movies on earth but one thing i’ll never forgive them is the complete lack of aragorn and éomer friendship. i know i already made a post abt it but i honestly cannot believe these two talked One time in the movies while in the books they became literal besties. what do you mean they promised they’ll fight together, draw swords together, upon literally their first meeting, then repeated the same promise later again and again. what do you mean “Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail.” what do you mean “And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the Sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of the South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard, and the White Horse upon Green flew in many winds until Éomer grew old.” LIKE HELLO?????
sounds true

Charles Windsor gathered in a park princes & ministers of many nations together with their wives, and there he preached to them, with decreasing confidence, of his wish that, to raise the birth rate, they all breed there. Once it was clear that this fertile fecundity would not occur, not the least because these were all as elderly as he, he began to stop expecting they would do so in the open in front of him, and said things like "Well, I hope we'll all do what's best, so let's get to it!" before retreating from the podium.
After this, I spoke to George W. Bush, one of the guests, and he agreed with me that Charles' idea was dangerous and that we would have to oppose him. We also ridiculed how he constantly referred to his realm by the awkwardly lengthy City of [City-wherein-I-live].

"Now, the pentacle carries a great many significances. If you stand with your feet apart and your arms out you will see that the pentacle symbolizes the human body. The right way up the head is uppermost and when we reverse the pentacle the genitals are above the head. In traditional Christian teaching the power of reason, the ability to tell right from wrong, rules the desires. Therefore, the reversed pentacle indicates letting your desires overpower your judgement." — Rachel Pollack, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom (1980/2019)

"The ways in which she is cynical and the things that she's scared of are really relatable, you know. And life is scary at times, life hurts, things can be painful, and everyone has moments of like, "Ugh, it's too much. I'd rather opt out." I like the phrase JOMO, which is the opposite of FOMO. The Joy Of Missing Out. That's kind of where 22 is residing at the beginning. Lot of JOMO."

Jaron Lanier's advice for remaining a person on the internet
Don’t post anonymously unless you really might be in danger.
If you put effort into Wikipedia articles, put even more effort into using your personal voice and expression outside of the wiki to attract people who don’t yet realize that they are interested in the topics you contributed to.
Create a website that expresses something about who you are that won’t fit into the template available to you on a social networking site.
Post a video once in a while that took you one hundred times more time to create than it takes to view.
Write a blog post that took weeks of reflection before you heard the inner voice that needed to come out.
If you are twittering, innovate in order to find a way to describe your internal state instead of trivial external events, to avoid the creeping danger of believing that objectively described events define you, as they would define a machine.
These are some of the things you can do to be a person instead of a source of fragments to be exploited by others.

I need a stylist or w/e 😓 …It would be embarassing if I described how I usually dress when I go out.. Hazukashii...
“Clothes are our initial and most basic tool of communication. They convey our social and economic status, our occupation, our ambition, our self-worth. They can empower us, imbue us with sensuality.They can reveal our respect, or our disregard, for convention.”
Someone asked me a question about my opinion on something on a forum I joined this morning and now I dunno what to do 🤣
edit: I said the something pleased me
'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.
"go read King Lear to see the anarchy and wolfishness, the primitive regression that result from a sentimental deconstruction of social institutions. Stormy nature, in our hearts and beyond the gates, is ready to consume us all. Next read the Oresteia to reflect on the evolution of law and order out of barbarism and vengeful privatism. The egalitarian fantasy is an Arcadian myth revived and propagated in the past twenty years by feminist politicos. This is the kind of nonsense you get when you spend more time reading fifth-rate contemporary women writers than you do dead white males like Aeschylus and Shakespeare. […] I am saying that many of the problems between the sexes are coming from something prior to socialization, a turbulence that has to do with every boy’s origin in a woman’s body, a mother’s body, and the way he is overwhelmed by this huge, matriarchal shadow of a goddess figure in his childhood. And I feel, after so many decades of studying this, that men are suffering from their sense of dependency on women, their sense that at any moment they could be returned to that slavery and servitude they experienced under a woman’s thumb, when they were a boy in the shadow of the mother. I got this from studying all world culture, and comparing and noticing how often there were these patterns in many different cultures. Many things that erupt in rape or violence, battery and so on, are happening when a woman is pushing that button of fear and dependency."

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.
great googly moogly
The Amazon grocery stores which touted an AI system that tracked what you put in your cart so you didn't have to go through checkout were actually powered by underpaid workers in India.
Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped. According to The Information, 700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022. This widely missed Amazon’s internal goals of reaching less than 50 reviews per 1,000 sales
A great many AI products are just schemes to shift labor costs to more exploitable workers. There may indeed be a neural net involved in the data processing pipeline, but most products need a vast and underpaid labor force to handle its nearly innumerable errors.
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
Love and Leashes Review
This may end up being less of a review and more of a rave. The plot was interesting though a little thin. However, I can easily over look that in a romcom with characters this charming and with BDSM this accurate.
For those that aren't familiar with this movie, let me update you. It's an office romance featuring a baby sub who mistakenly thinks his co-worker is a Dom and asks her to be his Master (master isn't really accurate but we'll let it slide as likely a cultural difference?). She is not but she is intrigued and willing to give it a try. So enters baby Dom!
Going into this movie I naturally had some concerns. While at the same time excited because I’d heard such good things. I knew from the trailer it was a male submissive and a female Dom, which as most of you know, is my favorite combination. It’s rarely portrayed. Which leads me to my fear, because BDSM is already inaccurately portrayed in mainstream with a male being a Dom, how was this going to go? Were they going to make a joke out of BDSM or portray the male submissive as weak as they generally do with female submissives? I had trepidations but was still hopeful and then they blew my expectations out of the water. I have not seen a more accurate portrayal. I honestly haven’t. This was funny, real, sensual, and raw all at the same time.
They did an incredible job of portraying Ji Hoo's submissiveness as something that is simply his preference and there's nothing wrong with it, even when others may judge him. I loved that they show cased the judgment that male submissives are often subjected to. I appreciated that they covered this not only from the aspect of how he is judged by other men but also an ex. We then get to see him blossom and truly enjoy being himself because of the acceptance of his Dom. He doesn’t suddenly realize he is actually a “Dom” which you sometimes see happen in movies. No, he thrives under the attention of his Dom and their open communication. That while he might listen to commands, he’s free to verbalize his likes and dislikes all while maintain a sub status.
Ji Woo… My gosh. I adored her character so much. She is the inexperienced Dom who didn’t realize she was missing something until she started reading what a Dom was and became intrigued. Her quick ease into the Dom role, even if she is unsure about it, clearly shows the fact that this has always been who she is. She had just never been exposed to it to have a chance to explore it. Her willingness to dive in and read, to make mistakes, added a realistic touch while also giving her persona added charm. She made mistakes but the were ones that I've personally made myself, like don't use duck tape and picking the wrong location to try new things. She practiced roping on a stuffy!! Which yes, we do!! They made her real and relatable instead of some bad-ass who makes men cry.
I would recommend this movie to anyone wanting an introduction to the BDSM world. This was a very accurate depiction of an established contracted D/s relationship. I loved that you can clearly see that couples are not "on" all the time like people fantasize and yet it can still be apart of every day life. That people really do live these lives, where we work and then come home to a imbalanced power relationship.
i am fucking crazy but I am free. [yes I know quoting a LDR line is a lame cliche]
This is why you take your meds
Would you download a friend?
i have a lot more to say but you can rest assured that Love and Leashes was good
Pluto in Fourth House
You may have a good imagination and intuitive ability. There is a desire for a loving home atmosphere, yet power struggles and a desire to wear the pants in the family may cause problems. The influence of one or both parents is strong for good or ill. Perhaps one or both are manipulative or controlling. You may possess an explosive temper due to the inner tension at home. You may feel restless in the place of your birth. The home may be your place for regeneration.
