Yknow, I actually apologize for being reductive in my response to another reductive thing. Gambling addiction doesn't have the same mechanisms as substance abuse, but it ruins lives nonetheless.

"Porn addiction," however, still has no credible scientific basis and doesn't ruin your life

"It provides dopamine and therefore can be addictive"

Ok we really need to get one thing straight. An addiction based on a chemical dependency is not the same as an addiction based on behavior, habit, and lifestyle.

"Anything can be addictive" is the second most shallow and dangerous take on addiction, just behind telling addicts to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It's a take that betrays zero interest in exploring the causes and treatments for addiction

Look, I know I have a vested interest in people not thinking porn addiction is real but I gotta tell you: porn addiction isn't real.

I will start calling their behavior "puritany addiction"
because it seems like they are always tempted to give their fucking conservative opinion on any issue 😭

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I'm glad people have largely rejected the idea that Hana is bad trans rep. If being clocky and flamboyant is all it takes for a character to be bad trans rep in someone's eyes, then I'd be afraid to know what they think of the trans people that describes

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

1st panel: Enki's cock more than halfway into Gilly as Gilly screams with hearts in his eyes.

2nd panel: extreme close-up on Enki as she drools and her eyes roll back into her head with a "HWAAAAH!"

3rd panel: Enki looks down at Gilly, who's hands reach up from out of frame, grasping at the air as he struggles, "Hnngh! Eweh! Fffngh!"

Enki grins, "NNNGH...How does it feel to be mine-all-mine again? Can't find the words?"

Siduri glowers in the background with her arms folded and steam coming out of her ears

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

It's been crazy watching the straw hats jolly roger pop up in photos of, like, real actual revolutions and uprisings but it makes perfect sense why you'd see that and not, say, the resistance symbol from star wars or something

The thing that makes One Piece so compelling is that Luffy isn't the guy who single handedly saves you. Not really. He's the guy that tips the scales in your favor, but you and yours still have to fight like crazy. He's just the ally that makes the difference

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.
