It’s a Canadian national super market chain/brand that owns a ton of supermarkets here.

It happens.

Its like can you join the threads somehow? Probably not, and it just kinda goes on.

Definitely not. I’m describing a situation where someone you know is sending you nudes.

I also am definitely as enticed by people irl or porn as any other person. I just don’t find nudes all that great. Like, I’d probably enjoy taking the nudes with someone over seeing them, or better yet, just doing things.

I feel like a lot of people who say this don’t realize how difficult this actually is for many people who live in different circumstances to them.

If you, like many, live in some urban sprawl ass area, Amazon has become the “weird part/replacement/too unique for physical stores but costs 5 times the amount shipping it in from somewhere else” central.

It’s also often more convenient than some other options while being ethically just about on par.

Its like, I can buy this thing from the walmart family, the loblaws family or jeff bezos.

They all have their evil, and it rotates from time to time who is taking the cake.

Like it’s certainly a consideration, like I’ll sometimes pick a slower option just to not buy from amazon, but then its like… its from Bestbuy. How much better is Bestbuy to Amazon? or Newegg?

I mean, tbh the whole inauguration has certainly knocked Amazon down a few pegs for sure, so I guess this is sort of a pre that bias.

My point is, there is a shit ton of things any one person can be doing, and different things are more or less important to different people, so do what you can, and don’t expect perfection of yourself, because there will be things you do (if you’re a person that tries) that the person barking at you for not being perfect in some other aspect will be doing and won’t even be aware of what else you do.

Honestly, no doubt there’s truth there, as I think a lot of guys focus on making their dicks look big because from a typical straight(… actually gay too) guys perspective on sex, like thinking about sex from a mans perspective as if you were a woman, its like, you gotta make the lightning rod spark. Like the weight of the dick is elevated much more than the types of shit women want to see more of, like a lot of veiny-ness (which I think I can speak for the average man in saying, we generally don’t like on women (I think gay men differ from men here)), that brooding batman style of posing, the arms, forearms, and some chest hair, a confident and slightly domineering position, etc. Heck, I’m probably even somewhat wrong there.

I do think women tend to do this quite a bit as well, with all that weird duck lip, hand under chin, Victorian era poses, theatre kid coy, kinda “Sappho and her friend” leaning photos where to a lot of guys its like, Eyyy, show off all of that thing (where that thing is honestly a lot of things), or give me some “Ill be like this for you [sir/daddy/baby/pet/insert favourite pet name]”.

I dunno. It just all feels like I think people find it hard to conceptualize what the other person is truly looking for out of a photo because despite being into each other, people don’t really share their photo preferences in particular, and you can’t even necessarily transfer what you know about the other person in bed to what they’ll think looks good in a photo because the scenario is so different.

That being said, I really do think most pictures from both, dare I say all (to be more inclusive), tend to still ultimately, on average, be just mid.

Like no one is opening up their curtains, buying diffuse lighting, taking a hundred different shots, story boarding their angles, making sure all the money showpieces are hairless, or appropriately and perfectly haired or whatever it is for whoever it’s intended for, dehydrating to lean up, etc.

Like, to get nice photos, you basically have to become a NSFW content creator without the monetary incentive, and that’s a lot of work when the other person probably appreciate that time a lot more in person.

Look at you with some more “I exist outside of politics” child like thinking.

By not participating, you fuel the worst, and don’t make the least bad any better.

You have no arguments for this, you only have your fall back rhetoric, with no plans, no work, no substance.

What you’re saying is that you’re a defeatist, because I’ve seen not one of you scoping up our boy big brood bonker. Just tough words towards the people closest to you on the spectrum online, and so it continues to look like reform will be the only option.

As long as you continue not to put up, maybe its time to shut up while the people looking for practical solutions actually discuss and act on them.

Keep dreaming about this magic future the people you’d like to pretend are all neoliberals are doing their best to make it for you.

Even in this nonsensical half truth filled comment, you can’t help but point out that there is a clear difference between the 2 parties, yet, in a political system where they are the options, you pretend you can’t see jack shit.

As expected.

It’s actually ok!

In reality, there wouldn’t be a void, but instead, simply a severe obstruction of flow!

Instead, both sides would be filled with decreasingly oxygenated blood as your heart continues to be less and less capable of oxygenating itself, eventually succumbing after a spat of looking like this robotic art piece.

You fucking wish.

In reality nudes from women look shit too.

People just generally give women a pass/see women as more attractive for the same equivalent level of attractiveness or effort for the photo. They also feel much more pressured by society to be all "WOW! I’ve never seen tits in my life!!! Magnifico! ✨✨🍆*

Nudes suck.

Thats my hot take.

The fucking suck, the person sending them expects you to receive them like they’re gods gift to green earth and they’re (the photos, not the person) just mid, so you have to act like you’re a pavloved chimpanzee in full caveman mode so excited by this barely lit could be big foot sighting.

At best nudes are an indication the person sending you them wants to fuck.

They’re not jerk off material. They’re barely semi chub material.

They’re just… mid.

Could be the hottest person imaginable and they’d still be mid.

Its ultimately just a poorly taken picture with poor lighting, with someone who (reasonably) won’t be bending over backwards to send you page 34 of the Kama Sutra.

It would be so fucking nice if it was deemed socially appropriate to say “Look lady, I don’t need to see a 15th picture of your gooch from the same fucking angle” (but you know, with tact), but instead if you ever were to do that, they’d misinterpret your message as “I’m not all that sexually interested in you” rather than “I’m not all that sexually interested in every piece of evidence there is for extraterrestrial UFOs existing, but in a vaguely human shape”.

Just a bit of a rant I hope was humorous but like seriously, I thought a few years back… probably like 15-20 years back, we all kinda agreed that nudes were stupid for security and revenge porn reasons, but now it seems the world is back at it again, for seemingly no reason, because next to no one is actually masturbating to these, and its like, just some fun chatting would get across the same effect or more, because it could display more personal knowledge of the other persons preferences and your desire for them.

Bah.

This is just foolishness.

Its completely childish to pretend that if you ignore the current system, it will ignore you.

That is what you are saying they should do, rather than realize a magic uprising will not come, and change is slow and laborious as opposed to fashionable, pithy, snarky phrasing.

Thats the reality the other person understands and you fail to.

You literally cannot reform the system if you hand republicans wins like you have.

Reform is a very very long ways away, and is slowed down every time the democrats lose, and therefore shift even further right.

You have it all backwards.

Its interesting all of the so called “socialists” when their faux beliefs are called out in detail, just bark the same thing that has just been disproven, and pretend that if only exactly the platform of their dreams were run, in a sperical cow friction-less universe that doesnt exist, everything would be hunky dory.

Unfortunately we live in a real world with real constraints. The real world had what it had, and you chose to not participate, or even worse, support the bad guys because you didn’t get your way.

You’re attempted gotchas continue to be a way from you diverting from the fact you have absolutely no rebuttals for any of the many reasons that your core arguments don’t work or criticisms of your rhetoric.

I can’t even begin to think about the contortion needed to come up with that logic.

There is a reason its not backed up with anything.

Im guessing the best youll be able to string together will be so contrived itll be some nonsense like “Biden had ICE too, so that means he did the same thing as the Gestapo” or some equally insane nonsense.

Ugh.

That is fucking absurd.

How the fuck even.

When it comes down to the brass tacks???

Who the hell do you think is supporting marginalized people having the voter protections that everyone else gets?

Who do you think supports them not being discriminated against or even bothering to run studies on this information?

Who do you think are the people working to improve programs that often are mostly aimed at them, through a federal government that currently is basically gridlocked and only allows the controlling parties control over the purse in essence?

Your statement is baseless bothsiderism.

Once again, the republicans are literally actively discriminating against them, disappearing them off the street, doing forced sterilizations, and more.

Dafuq you mean they don’t support them more?

Back up that statement, because I’m not seeing it.

If Democrats cared about Latinos they would have pushed back against their party when Biden pushed for the largest expansion of detention centers and the highest increase of federal funding they’ve ever received. Biden laid the ground work for what Trump is currently doing.

Do you know what nuance is?

Do you know why democrats were doing that? Because people such as yourself seemed even less reachable to them than the morons and bigots that voted trump in. That was an attempt to compromise. A misguided attempt thinking that they would respond to facts and numbers.

Biden laid the ground work for what Trump is currently doing.

No he fucking didn’t. ICE is raiding primary schools and hiring like a silicon valley blitz scaling startup.

You only look for attempts at gotchas because you don’t actually give a fuck about other people. You just want to feel right when making the world worse, pretending there is somehow any practical plan for the democrats to go from zero to hero in a day.

You ignore the real steps to achieving your goals, because it doesnt allow you to gloat while hurting other people, and its slow, unfun, and involves supporting people you feel are mid; you know, the things the actual leftists do gritting their teeth because they look up facts and don’t say absurd shit like

When it comes down to brass tacks Democrats don’t support those marginalized communities anymore than Republicans. They use them as human shields to defend their shitty policies and use it to silence dissent that’s harming everyone

You are so fucking far from your goal its a farce that you keep acting like there are direct steps towards it.

I want to live in Startrek as much as the next person, but that is not happening within my lifetime, or the lifetime of anyone born right now.

It is an illness to be so far up ones own ass that people can be extra-judicially killed, kidnapped, sterilized, arrested for their free speech and more, and then you turn around and pretend a mid center to center right party is the same thing as the fascists.

I guess its easy for you to say when your ass isn’t the first on the chopping block.

God damn champagne socialists.

Liberals in general don’t give a fuck about who’s getting hurt, their concern lies in who’s doing the hurting.

Heres the thing about the chronically online “leftist” viewpoints.

They all seem to come from a place of feeling superior while doing nothing or worse.

What are the actions of these people you hate, Im assuming to mean pragmatical leftists and liberals both of whom don’t want hitler 2.0: Electric Bugaloo?

They tried to support it not happening and are now the ones actually doing anything whatsoever. They are the senators, mayors, running obstruction and to a lesser extent people out protesting.

Instead, you’re there focusing on criticizing, not the people doing the harm, but the people trying to stop it, for not perfectly aligning with you policy wise before in the election where you tacitly voted for the horrendous shit happening right now.

Marginalized communities remain marginalized regardless of who’s in office

Guess what? You can’t get your magic one day revolution. Changing the status of people takes a really long fucking time in such a system. Those are the facts of the system. You can sit it out and pout that it magically doesnt happen, or realize the system is what it is, and then do something within it or about it, rather than waxing lyrical about it online, dumping on the people who do.

The fact is, when the democrats, a center to center right party do not have a senate majority, there is very little they can do that isnt purse control, but you know what happens when they’re in power? Marginalized people do better, and see better outcomes and lives.

Expecting a whole new world is just naivety

Your party supports marginalized communities as far as using them as background filler while the old white people speak for them

Ah yes, all the outspoken POC people in the democrat party are secretly white people, and the 85% or higher number of black people voting for them have no voices.

Your entire attitude is just one that does not care about marginalized people past using them as ammunition for the people closest in political goals to you.

Some people have the same political goals to you and you still rant about them because they aren’t being idealistic do nothings.

Why is no one with this information making a top comment about it?

All the top comments seem totally unreasonable at first glance.

Truly, I am so thankful these people are on the fringe.

They somehow think they are better than the only people actually trying to put out the fire because firefighting is dirty work and their hands aren’t dirty.

This is some truly insane reasoning where your house is on fire, but you’re like “let’s worry about flood season in a few months.”

You don’t stop the fire, it won’t be around for the flood.
