Is my porn viewing problematic?
  • The image only contains consenting adults who look very happy to be with each other (the perspective on the muzzles could use a little work though), so no, not very problematic. It is problematic if you're making an active effort to stop browsing porn and you still got far enough for your web browser to load that text.

  • People who are 1s and 2s on this scale, do you watch adult video?
  • It's meant to roughly gauge how clearly you picture things in your mind's eye by asking you which apple you see when prompted to imagine one. #5 references the lack of a mind's eye in people with Aphantasia (coincidentally this Wikipedia article has this same chart as a header image)

    I'm imagining a Radiohead cover band

    What is some of your favorite background or thinking music?
  • Whatever comes up from the search term "lofi house". Long compilations of good, uncomplicated, ethereal-sounding music that let me go on for hours without having to interact with the player. EATEOT is surprisingly good for this too, especially if you need your mood to do a 180° really fast.

  • Did the year zero never exist ?
  • Years are ordinal numbers, the kind of number that tells you which place you finished in a race, and as such cannot have zeroes or negatives. You're living in the 2,024th year since the instant that began the Common Era. "0th" and "-1st" are not valid expressions for years for the same reason that you can't place 0th in the Olympics

  • How many accounts do you have?
  • Just this one. I don't want to juggle more passwords than are really necessary, and I'm not too worried at the idea of others scrolling down my profile and seeing that I'm a furry, a TF fan, and sometimes an outwardly sexual person when the situation allows it.

  • Imagine being afraid of immodest women in the gym
  • The "before I cave in" remark is probably just about failing the "avert my eyes" thing and looking at the women in the Mat 5:28, committing adultery in your heart kind of way. From a Catholic perspective OOP's concerns are completely reasonable as even thinking about sex too hard is supposed to send you to the forever torture zone. I doubt this guy is a hair trigger away from committing SA but the situation is disturbing in a few other ways

  • How might a public flogging of an authoritarian ruler in 2024 impact the world?
  • Besides the immediate threat of mass rioting and an armed resistance no matter who you're flogging, public torture as entertainment is a very, very bad precedent to set, and only serves to build up a culture of antipathy. Imagine how the wider justice system would change once that's normalized.

  • How did you get your username?
  • Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

  • My friend is in-denial about being transgender, what can I do to help break her egg
  • Ex-conservative here, this reeks of an extremely angry person hoping to prove something about social contagion and "trans people want to bring femaleness back to 50's stereotypes", and minus the comedy at the end of the first paragraph this is roughly how I would have written it about 10 years ago if I'd had the guts to lie to hundreds of people. Read their post and comment history (before they delete their account) for other signs like "I experienced misogyny and it gave me awesome gender euphoria"

  • What are some of the changes you would expect in a furry reality?
  • A struggle against prejudice and xenophobia on a much greater level than humans have with only one species, debates on whether it's ethical for a couple to produce an anthro mule or other infertile hybrid, any modern mixed-species regions would need a very complex design to accommodate everyone's different biological needs even if all the anthros are nearly the same size, the study of evolution would be a lot of fun because a diverse anthro world requires many distinct intelligent species to emerge very close in time to one another, endless other worldbuilding opportunities

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

    • Gen 1-2 definitely didn't happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
    • Noah's Ark definitely didn't happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist's and Elohist's writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
    • New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

    That's about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things

  • I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy?
  • Congratulations, you've invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist

    The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely
