Good point. It’s just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes

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.

Well I’m a guy. Heteroflexible and pretty open though so I don’t mind dick pics.

In fact the instance I’m on is full of them :)

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.

Umm technically by ignoring them she is the opposite of a slut. Just saying.

Not that there’s anything wrong with sluts. I’m very slutty myself.

Who would be a suitable younger Bernie replacement?

But how would they go about it? The system is so entrenched. Anything socialist is considered ‘commie’ and anti-american, a sentiment carefully cultivated since WWII. The two party system that relies on huge donations means the oligarchy has a huge input in politics no matter which party wins. The only thing that’s being decided is which oligarchs will rule.

There’s just no way to turn this around until things get bad enough that they can’t hold the floodgates anymore. America is (fortunately for the little man who would suffer the most) still far from that.

The problem here is having only two choices.

Where I’m from we have coalition governments. It’s very rare for one party to have a majority. So they have to argue for months and come to some kind of agreement with other parties. The good thing is that everyone can vote for what they really want. There’s not really any ‘lost votes’. The bad thing is that the coalition forming process is messy and slow and the result is much watered down. But I’d much rather have this than a two party system.

If I had been a US citizen I’d have voted for Harris though.

I’m against it but I just found that BSD doesn’t have it and I fits me better than Linux in many other ways too.

So there’s just no need left to debate :)

True all I know is the above. But that’s a year ago now…

Yeah she’s ok but I miss her content too 😢

Congratulations!! I hope 100k soon!

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.

It doesn’t sound like the kind of work ethic I want to learn. That’s basically voluntary slavery.

Individualism is great.

Thanks! I can’t unsee it but I like it more now 😆

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.

But your mileage may vary of course.
