I own 3 vehicles right now and all are manuals, so I don't think we have anything to disagree on.

My bigger issue with the "cars bad" position is that so many people don't understand the staggering infrastructure and population localization changes that would need to be made to make the US a functional place without near ubiquitous car ownership.

Is it conservative? I've met way too many people who only think of sex as porn adjacent. It's loving weird.

Like there's virgin naivety and then there's people who do have sex but expect it to be like porn. And are shocked. Every time. And they hold that expectation against every person.

i dunno if i'd blame just porn for that. i watched porn for years before i lost my v card and i wound up being good in the sack. i think upbringing also has a lot to do with it, you raise your kid to be selfish and that will reflect in the bedroom as well

guess it also depends on what kind of porn we're talking about here

Video game addiction is a very real thing. I work with addicts and it's actually both fascinating and frightening to see some gamers act like drug addicts. I see the same life-or-death rage when they are denied their fix like getting between an addict and their pills. It's eye-opening for me because when I was younger I hated any and all criticism of video games from politicians and the like but there is a sliver of truth for me now.

Edit: Mark my words, it's going to appear in a DSM one day.

Sorry but porn is a literal, infinitesimal drop in the bucket compared to abstinence only sex-ed, toxic masculinity, lack of education about consent, fascistic and puriticanical brainwashing regarding women's reproductive rights and sexuality, and a myriad of other types of bigotry ranging from fetishizing trans women and lesbians, and racism in fetishistic contexts.

Porn is a societal expression of these concepts, it's not the cause of them, and in certain ways porn is one of the few ways certain people can find sexual release or representation when their real-life circumstances make it difficult, ie gay people or trans people living in extremely hyper-conservative areas, and it is also an indispensable avenue of financial support for people when it's controlled and regulated by them, versus when it was far more taboo and as such was significantly more prone to exploitation and harboring predators, which is what the demonization of porn - something that will always exist - inevitably leads to.

Also conservatives and fundamentalists have convinced you that somehow sex is innately some kind of transcendental experience of romance that is sacred and when it's "reduced" or "socially degenerates" that it's somehow devalued or creates alienation, which is absolutely ridiculous in the face of what the former attitude has collectively done to utterly destroy people's ability to have healthy sex lives or not be worthless rapists and bigots.

The more sex is demystified and turned into a common fact of life instead of some insanely religious experience that defines the sanctity of a person's virtue, the better, because in the modern world that is one of the #1 causes of all the poo poo you probably blame porn for.

Also rough sex can be just as romantic as tender sex and the fact that people seem to believe high energy, ferocious sex is by definition more animalistic or something is utterly bogus. If both people are in control and respecting each other's boundaries then there's literally nothing that separates the two bar glamorized social depictions of what "making love" is, which ironically is something you can blame on films that attempt to mystify and sanitize sex. It's probably likely that non-hardcore and fictionalized depictions of sex have a greater negative effect because they also tend to visualize and depict the circumstances surrounding sex in an interpersonal sense and movies don't have a great track record with showing proper consent in those contexts (like the trope of the woman not being into a man forcefully kissing her at first but then acquiesces and consents, that's far more problematic than rough rutting).

I love you but I think you misunderstand me

My main objection to porn is the smacking around and choking and objectifying of women that is pretty common. I object to porn from the point of view of feminism, genuine feminism before they ruined the word. I was very fortunate and was able to pick my partners and live a pretty free sex life.

I briefly watched a straight porn video a few years back and I was baffled as to how anyone would find that erotic. "smacking around and choking and objectifying" is spot on. The woman in the video was basically a rag doll to be abused and the man was just a prop to facilitate that abuse. This wasn't any sort of niche porn or anything just a run of the mill video. Obviously there are plenty of gay videos like that too and genres built around it. But I think that generally when it comes to mainstream (for lack of a better term) straight vs gay porn the latter is considerably less likely to be like this, at least if conversations I'd had with straights/bi folk are any indication. I've had more than one straight guy express surprise when I told him that gay porn videos usually have a lot of kissing and foreplay in them.

I know this is gonna suck but I'm in the UK and I really dislike gypsys/travellers. I know this is because they're displaced people that we steamrolled in our traditional British imperialism but every time I've dealt with them they've been violent, abusive and destructive. I hate the way men treat their wives and children and the way they use kids to scam people.

I don't want to tar a whole peoples with one brush but man do they make it hard not to. I know this is just full out racism and is indefensible but I'd be lying if it wasn't an opinion I held.

There isn't any zero sum thing here. There isn't any way you could cheapen sex with genuine human connection. Casual sex, porn or whatever existing doesn't somehow make it less.

Way back in the trump lol trump's hosed days I suspected that there was a coordinated effort to drive SA politics rightward from an off-site source and I voiced this suspicion. Perminator e.g. et al called me insane but years later, almost fully 4 years later, we'd find out admin PartyPlaneJones was in fact coordinating with an offsite far right group who'd been working diligently to quell leftist thought on the forums.

there was a period where "political posts" were banned from GBS, but wouldn't you know it, certain political posts didn't seem to get moderated.

anyway, I don't know what my most conservative opinion is, but I strongly believe that I deserve to be recognized for being correct about the deep politics underlying the administration staff during the early trump era all those years ago
