A smashed avocado and a tuna packet on a tortilla is a phenomenal hiking lunch when I need a lot of calories without blocking up my mojo with a brick of a protein bar.

But did they pinky promise?

A mentor once gave me an exercise to identify my "core values" or goals or motivators. Out of a list of 60, the task was to narrow down over time and conversation to my top 5.

E.g., I value financial stability. Not to be confused with other values of earning high compensation or achieving lofty corporate positions and recognition.

It helped me frame for myself that I'm going to work to be comfortable and stable and beyond that, my motivations lie elsewhere, like spending time with friends and working on personal projects. There are people who put greater value on achieving a high salary or earning the c-suite title or having their names on patents; that's perfectly valid and great for them, it's not me and that is also ok.

There are tons of similar exercises online. If it sounds like something that might help you define your perspective on work differently, to narrow it down to you instead of getting overwhelmed with the whole world's problems, please look into it and good luck.

Thank jeebus you didn't have to get married to the type of men in the community/cult we grew up in and pop out babies.

Idk, I'm too chilly to think about it. Can you turn up the temp of my brain vat bath?

I think you have a very different perspective from me on what OP was asking and what this thread is. To paraphrase:

OP said "here are these extreme claims that seem strange to me, is this really what most people believe?"

To which I said, "wtf, no, those are way out there. You're in a YouTube bubble that doesn't reflect the mainstream nor anyone with a data-based position".

And you... seem to want to argue about the actual effects of porn. This is not a conversation about the effects of porn, this is a thread about how the yt video OP saw is propaganda. You don't need to expend effort to pick out the small bits of truth within misinformation and propaganda. If you want to discuss the effects of porn, post a thread and find someone who wants to have that discussion. Good luck.

I can't even tell if you're a human or a chat bot.

Vertical live streams? As in camera orientation? Vert videos will have this feature and horizontal won't? Not knowing the intricacies of the content creator world, I don't get why vertical vs horizontal should make any difference.

I didn't pull those phrases out of thin air, they're from OP.

Hmm, not familiar with the connection. I stumbled across it while roaming Wikipedia. Origins are unknown possible from "Samiel", the name of the Devil in some opera. Or Sam Hill, a man in the 1800s known for using such foul language that his own name became a swear. Imagine that. While most strive to leave their mark on the world by leaving something good behind or raising good kids or helping someone in a life-changing way or whatever, he left behind his own name as a swear.

Please don't put some ridiculous binary statement in my mouth. There's miles of distance between "porn wrecks your mind" and "excessive porn use can contribute to mental health and relationship issues".

What do you mean "going too far"? What are you planning to do?
