I learned something today... and I'm not better off for having learned it. What a dumb ass virtue signal to use on something.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for your feedback. On the website I just added clarification of the purpose of promoting it so it's less likely to seem like virtue signaling.

Honestly, it should be more freedom from addiction. Porn isn't harmful until it becomes addicting. Drugs can boost creativity until you become dependent (although admittedly these can have a greater chance of harm, caffiene included). TV binging, scrolling the internet, all these can result in inspiration until it becomes a required habit

Maybe rework the message so Freedom From Porn is symbolic of Freedom From Addiction, and the ability to generate ideas without needing to nut first, or take drugs, or scroll endlessly through videos and stories, or playing non stop games, etc.

Yeah, I never understood the point of these nofap movements if you just substitute it with some other addiction like binge watching or doomscrolling social media. It seems like treating a symptom instead of a disease. If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won't even have the time for harmful addictions.

If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won’t even have the time for harmful addictions.

Those things would be part of a positive feedback loop, and it might not be able to be the first part. The ability to enjoy them is reduced until the brain is fully healed from the addiction.

Aaand you killed this meme for me.

BTW, I like porn, not quitting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this meme is now very dead for me as well. xD

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, apparently freeing yourself from porn enables you to make even more silly memes. Probably better to keep doing porn then.

If you think this meme is bad then this will torture you

I desperately want my freedom and peace to also be yours

Please keep your freedom out of our memes, i am a big fan of penis and vagene

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's cool and all but have you ever had your prostate caved in by a 9 in monster cock

I joke but legit most cumsoomers don't experience addiction, guy

Seriously tho you won't even want porn after squeezing out the ol jizz bag from the inside

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you considered that other people might not want that, though?

Do you feel judged by the Made With Freedom From Porn campaign?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You sound like a JW

The prose is weird, but the premise is kind of interesting

USA: The government is the corporations.

Skynet: The government is an AI filled 4chan board.

Borg: The government is the collective.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You make the Borg sound appealing and reasonable.

Imagine having the tech to just go to ~~sleep~~ charge and afterwards feel rested & full of energy.

Also best wifi.

I don't know this particular project but honestly having your government documents and policies made available on Codeberg/GitLab/Github and available for PRs is actually an interesting idea. The government would still need to be the owners and ultimately decide on what gets merged, but the transparency and opportunity for accessible civic engagement would be kinda sweet.

Huh. I'd never heard of The Venus Project, but it's giving Freedom by Daniel Suarez or Walkaway by Cory Doctorow vibes, except (aspirationally at least) in the real world.
