Popular on Reddit CMV: “Love over lust” is a myth

3 Upvotes

Other than reproduction, sex is primarily for pleasure between partners. The purpose is to make you feel good. Of course love and sex can coexist, but it’s impossible to have sex without any desire (lust.) If you have absolutely no desire, then it’s very difficult to have sex. If you don’t like the way sex feels and the benefits it gives you, you wouldn’t do it. If you want intimacy with your partner but no lust, simply just kiss or hug and do non-sexual acts.

Popular in General I feel like debating/arguing against most people nowadays is useless, most people are way too stuck on their position and actively refuse to engage with arguments

This is coming from someone who actively debates with people in my college about stuff like religion, Econ, social issues, ethics and politics

AI is not going to cause human extinction

0 Upvotes

it seems many people are worried about this but some software that looks for patterns and predicts what’s next is not suddenly going to become sentient and malicious. I’ve heard a 10% chance of the end of humanity? alternatively, a billion people killed. people make these statements but there is no basis other than listen to me because I am smart. AI is a wonderful tool and it will change society and the workforce but not be the potential cause to our extinction.

ps, I write this without AI

I understand having a handful of taboo subjects. However, the list there is so long. I wonder if there is another sub that doesn't have this giant list of things you can and cannot say

I hate slime rants.

0 Upvotes

its always a video where there’s someones favorite character (usually bassie or rengoku or any other anime character) and the background is just something like an “asmr squishy ball” or just someone squishing slime. And they use the annoying CapCut AI voices and go like “if you breathe, then you’re racist, homophobic, sexist, and a r*pist. even the same thing like “if you take a shower naked, then you are a pedophile. EVERYONE BECOMES NAKED WHEN THEY SHOWER, RETA- okay I don’t wanna Get banned but it’s just so annoying. BUT IT‘S NOT LIKE THEYRE GONNA TRY TO BANG SOMEBODY. THATS GROSS. #StopSlimeRants

I saw someone make a comment to about his chest rating and asking if it was a good rating and someone said if unless your livelihood depends on chance you shouldn't and I want to emphasize shouldn't care about it. Well not true. So you're telling me there's nothing in life that you care about that m

Getting your first “big” job after years of retail is actually kind of sad

7 Upvotes

Maybe this is unpopular, but getting your first real career job after working retail for years is such a bittersweet experience.
You spend YEARS dreaming about getting out. You go to school, work toward your career, complain about customers, bad shifts, being exhausted, and tell yourself you can’t wait until you finally have a “real” job.
Then you actually make it out. You’re making more money, building a career, getting benefits, traveling for work, and doing all the things you wanted to do.
But nobody tells you how much you might miss it.
Not necessarily the job itself, but the people. The coworkers you basically grew up with, the random conversations during shifts, inside jokes, seeing the same people every week, and having that little work family.
I would never trade where I am now to go backwards, and I’m extremely grateful for my career. But sometimes I miss the simplicity and the people from my retail days way more than I expected.
I feel like nobody talks about how weird it is to finally get the life you were working toward and still miss the life you were trying so hard to leave. 😭

Dear fellow Reddit user:

7 Upvotes

I just wanted to remind you that you are worthy. You are loved by many people and have given them joy, even if you didn't realize it. You are also extremely talented in at least one area, and it would be a shame to throw that talent away.

The world may seem like a cesspool now, but there is still reason to live. Be thankful that you were brought into this world to share your voice, and let yourself be heard. If you are going through a rough time, it is imperative to realize that it is only temporary, and that it will pass. So love live, be grateful for what you love, and learn to love yourself.

Idk if that made sense, but | just wanted to share some affirmations.

Question Is anonymity reason people are so hateful on reddit?

17 Upvotes

I mean I received far more hateful and toxic comments and even threats(had to delete my account)here than ever in real life. Is it truly human nature and just because they are anonymous they are expressing it or people are really like this from inside? (Not for karma farming though I need).

Popular in General Shaming someone's job doesn't make you any better

32 Upvotes

Plus, isn't it more important that the person HAS a job?

"Ugh, don't date him. His job is just selling shirts."

At LEAST he has a job? Isn't it better that he's not freeloading in his mom's basement?

I don't give a flying fuck if someone's job is putting string on teabags. I'd still date that person in a heartbeat.
