Some evolutionary biologist can probably correct me on this and provide a much better explanation, but apparently in the early days of life protobacteria were all about that sweet sweet cyanide and released oxygen as a waste product. They were so successful that they ate up all the cyanide in the atmosphere and gave themselves O2 poisoning. Some of them evolved to use oxygen instead and the rest is prehistory.

E: what a shameful snipe.

After much experimenting and many deaths, early man came to the conclusion that oxygen was the best reagent to use. Unfortunately they had no written language and we're still trying to reverse engineer their machine to this day.

You're thinking of cyanobacteria, which are called cyanobacteria because they're blueish-green, not because they breathe cyanide. They photosynthesize like regular plants and are responsible for the initial production of atmospheric oxygen, which killed off most of the anaerobic bacteria present on earth at the time.

maybe our global warming disasters will kill all the people on the earth, and in our anthropocentric view that would be really bad, and maybe a bunch of other animal species will go extinct too, but they certainly won't all die off and in as little as a few hundred years some sort of new ecosystems will form and a million years from now the planet will be running just fine with some new kind of balance.

another one of these, sorry folks

quote:

I had multiple accounts on SA over the years, and most of them got banned for reasons of anti-feminist/incel trolling.

I always felt I was ahead of the curve, trying to find some space for huge incels like me -- not "incels in denial" like many an SA poster -- but true, self-acknowledged incels who are resentful and want to bond over that resentment. Now I have incels.co and r/braincels.

I'm curious. I remember there was a thread dedicated to incels on the main GBS page, but the topic of incels was then banned in GBS. Was this because there were too many SA incels who kept turning those threads into a space in which to make incel arguments which couldn't be refuted by the SA community so better to "shut it down"?

yeah, you got it, people just couldn't stand up to the indefatigable logic of guys who can't get laid, it's not at all that an identity based 100% around resentment of all women everywhere is just really loving obnoxious to have to deal with

Then, on the other end of the horny spectrum, is this guy

quote:

I confessed around a month or so ago about wanting my libido to disappear. Sadly, it has not, but I am happy to report I have worked out a solution to my dilemma. I have realized that I needed to treat my sexuality as a part of life requiring menial labor, akin to brushing my teeth or exercising. To this end, I jerk off in as detached of a way as possible, and immediately move on to another personal upkeep task (generally brushing my teeth) right afterwards. I am no longer polluted by bothersome sexual thoughts throughout the day, and my general mood and outlook on life has significantly improved. I am thankful the advice the thread has given me, as I am doing far better than I had imagined when I wrote the previous confession.

I'm glad you're not really mad at your dick anymore

The inventor of the term "incel" is a woman, although she disavows the "movement" now because what she meant was just "lonely", not "utterly convinced that feminism has made them unfuckable".

Of course it does. They even have the double standard of being picky about partners while absolutely lambasting others for being picky about them.

It's like the incel movement (it's society's fault that I'm so lonely!) and the anti-vax movement (all medical science is lying because it makes me feel bad!) melded together into one super-movement.

I think there’s something to be said for “you’re actively harming yourself” being a line in the sand. It’s one thing to be comfortable in your own skin, accept your spare tire or chicken wings or w/e, but when you’re body is strained to the point of breaking under its own weight and you promote this as “normal and healthy and beautiful” aren’t you just really hurting yourself and the people you promote this idea too?

Incels are causing themselves lasting psychological and social damage that can manifest as violent outbursts, the FIB movement feels way more physically self destructive.

Besides that, I’ve never known fat ladies who couldn’t get the D if they wanted it. You don’t need a national moment of acceptance, you just need to realize that they’re is a very specific subset of people who want to worship your big gross body. I don’t think such a thing exists for incels. There aren’t really sex-starved porno-goddess virgins waiting to smash the Omni-cock of the chosen one, as foretold in the stars and Xbox-live.

Exploration is ill-advised.
In both cases they just need to A: lower their standards and B: actually talk to people like fellow human beings.

A bit ironic given the language of incels and getting into increasingly obtuse body parts to lament make them permanently unfuckable starts to sound a bit like body dysmorphic/anorexic groups.

I’m not trying to be crass, but the elapsed turn around time for Tindr vs Grindr isn’t even in the same ballpark. I could easily go weeks without finding someone on Tindr (extremely small geographic location plus I look like the dude from Korn if he worked out less) but Grindr would have my DMs blowing up by the end of the day, virtually guaranteed.

That said Tindr has a full court spread of 3-8s with an occasional 9-10, Grindr is like 99% 3-4s.

But this is in regards to casual, semi-anonymous hook ups. I literally don’t know anyone who uses Grindr to meet and date people. It’s just a “please touch my penis” app.

Considering how a lot of men would gently caress any women regardless of what she looks like just to "get it wet", it's easy to think that 2 gay men with the same hormone level would be loving.

There's probably a lot of discussion to be had about that. I wonder how much is that while men have it hammered into them what kind of women they're 'supposed' to like and pretty much vice versa for women, no one's telling men what kind of men they're supposed to like. Maybe people are less fussy about being attracted to the same sex because they know what a male/female body is like all too well and can't idealise it as much? I dunno, I'm sure there's essays on it.
