SA, for better or worse, is a series of communities drawn together by a shared history more than it is a singular culture anymore. There are lots of parts of this website, like Cinema Discusso, where humor is forbidden

I also can't imagine the "never leave the apartment" approach is great for your mental state. Even before the vaccines, the advice here was that you'll be perfectly fine going for a walk outside, even unmasked, as long as you're not in a crowd. Merely passing someone on a trail or sidewalk is an entirely negligible risk - and walking together with someone with distancing but close enough for conversation is also OK. I'm sure the advice around this varies between states in the US - I'm in Norway, so our public health advice is not entirely in sync with yours. Still - if you have been cooped up for almost two years now, going for a walk outside on your own, at a time when there's not too many others, seems like a reasonable place to start readjusting to society. (If you're immunocompromised, then obviously listen to your medical specialists instead of goons.)

In 2020 when people were wearing masks in their cars and using hand sanitizer constantly, I was hanging out with my friend and her dad who is a doctor specializing in infectious diseases and he was like “hey it’s good you’re wearing masks but you know you can take those off when you’re outside unless you’re at a concert or something, you’re not going to get Covid walking down the street”

timp posted:For longer than I'd like to admit I was highly susceptible to letting the goon hivemind steer my own thinking. I mean sure, goons have always had low credibility in some areas (hygiene, social skills, etc), but as a community, SA has always been populated by intelligent and articulate people. On top of that (especially in the 00's) they were also incredibly smug and arrogant about how correct they were, and my respect for their intelligence coupled with how savagely they would tear down someone who disagreed with them made me feel like I had to toe whatever moral, ethical, political, or any other kind of line was drawn in the sand by them.

I live in a state that never shut down for COVID, leans extremely red, and no one believes in masks. I got vaccinated in April, got COVID in August, outdoor transmission. On my rear end for about two weeks, couldn’t breathe or go up the stairs for another week, now I’m back to normal again. COVID is a part of our lives forever now. I understand that the particulars of certain people’s ailments mean that they are at risk for more severe complications, but for a lot of Americans, there will never be a post-COVID life, and we have to adapt, and accept that science can only take us so far if you live in a place surrounded by cave people.

The concept here is that there are many things other than death that are also bad. Not wrong. If your vax/booster was recent, I think it's pretty safe to relax. As winter goes on I'll probably be more conservative until we see how much the booster fades.

Yup. Was reading an old article following up a decade later with people who had been infected with SARS 1. Some were still developing new and terrifying symptoms years after recovery, like full numbness of hands and feet. Describing finding out about broken toes or burnt fingers long after the fact. Many diseases have a later phase that only really shows up years or decades later. We don't really know what this is going to look like long term, whether society eventually will choose to do what it takes to go elimination. I believe polio was another disease that often was "mild" but on the other hand sometimes "recoveries" would take a nosedive a couple years on and end up in an iron lung. So we did what was required to get rid of it. I'm certainly still choosing to be very cautious as we figure out what this disease really does and what society will do long term in response. But I'm also frequently going for walks outside, going to grocery stores masked up, sometimes taking larger risks, too, to maintain relationships.

Is there a way to filter or otherwise search for bookmarked threads on the awful app? because I guess what I'm saying is I wish there were a way to filter or otherwise search for bookmarked threads on the awful app (which is awesome and thanks to whomever is responsible for it!) Have some content: quote:I started cranking my hog on the reg when I was 15 and we got an internet connection, making porn all that more easy to access. This confession isn't about a porn addiction, it's about wanking habits. You see, I would have my right hand on the mouse and go to town on myself with my left hand, like a gentleman. Speaking with male colleagues, I am apparently in the minority and people will go from dick to mouse with the right hand, or otherwise crossover, manipulating the mouse with the left while manipulating themselves with the right. If nobody wants to talk about this there are two more waiting in the wings.

OP should probably invest in a physical therapist but might also look into buying an automatic stroker or something to avoid those issues in the future. I realize there is often a weird stigma around cis men owning "pocket pussies" (jesus christ I hate that term but it's the one everybody knows), but lots of luxury sex toy brands cater to penis-havers now. don't feel like you need to be stuck in the stone ages on this kind of thing, especially if you're literally injuring yourself for lack of a better/easier solution

I have the opposite problem, my right hand and arm are like easily 1.5 if not 2x as strong as my left hand because I’ve been cranking it 1-5 times a day for the last 18 years. I could open up an armored bank car like a sardine can.

Being able to get yourself off with them regardless of whether you have a penis or a vulva is just a pleasant deviation from their original purpose. The OP could hammer on his shoulder with it a couple times a day and then just switch it from his ruined traps and deltoids to his hog.

Knock on wood, I have not even gotten a cold in two years since I started wearing masks and using hand sanitizer constantly. So people really shouldn’t let themselves get turned into hermits because of COVID unless they literally have no immune system at all.

Immunocompressed isn't a boolean value. More importantly though, it's also a question of whether people feel safe. Even under the dubious assumption that a properly worn mask outside makes absolutely no difference (which doesn't seem to follow, given that we know that it's an airborne disease and that mathematical modeling shows that indoors spread is anywhere from 1-3 meters via aerosols/droplets), you can't deny that it's a good thing if it helps people of all ages who otherwise don't feel safe leaving their home - because there's absolutely no down-side to wearing the mask (other than it being marginally uncomfortable, if you have bad asthma like I do). You might not've gotten a cold in that period, but one of the few times I left the house, I ended up getting one - and just like yours, that's just a coincidence, and no data can be extrapolated from it.
