I think it's just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it's intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).

While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It's just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won't happen), they'll find new ways, and they'll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit

Ask me this a couple months ago and I'd have opted for freezing me, no question. But I lost my person, and I've realized it's not that I was afraid to die or that I wanted life to go on forever. I wanted the life I had to go on forever. That's gone now. I'll opt for the end date on the tin.

Whenever I'm talking to someone in person or over voice chat/on the phone that I know has a strong opinion on the pronunciation of GNOME or GIF, I pronounce it with an initial glottal stop or a sort of "zh" sound (like Zsa Zsa Gabor's name) and insist that's how I always pronounce it and it's the natural pronunciation of it.

Oh my God I completely forgot about those cam house videos I used to download from limewire

Iirc, they address both the knee thing and the clothes in the books. Skin tight clothing morphs with you, and I distinctly remember one conversation about the knees thing, but I couldn't tell you which book it was (though, my buddy Goom probably can)

If Mario ever drops into the public domain, you could make a fortune on this.

Write the movie now and wait. The day it hits public domain you'll be ready.

"being aware of, and able to accurately diagnose the type of mental illness you're dealing with is not the same thing as actually working to fix it"

And

"That's bullshit. Honestly. That's bullshit. Just because you can articulately attempt to justify it doesn't mean it's justified"

Also

"Sometimes things just suck and you have to deal with that for a long time"

Once told a boss "with all due respect, and I do mean all the respect you're actually due in this moment, I won't be doing that"

My first instinct was to hate you for this.

Then I realized I could send it to so many people, and I became the monster I feared most.
