That’s because you’re doing it wrong. First, take off all your clothes. Bonus points if you’re in public. Then lie down flat on your stomach side. If necessary, start thrusting your hips up and down to help get contact with the ground. Bonus points if you do dirty talk while doing this, in public, in front of people.

I see we’ve found someone who follows Diogenes of Sinope.

Not intentionally? But the more I read about this guy, the more I like his style. He sounds a little like the character House in his brutal honesty and disdain for etiquette, and potentially autistic.

This has to be my favorite ideal though:

Everyone, he claimed, was trapped in this make-believe world which they insisted was reality and, because of this, people were living in a kind of dream state. Source

I swear I’ve heard this idea elsewhere and more recently. Hmm. 🤔 I can’t quite put my finger on it though. But I am a little hungry for a cookie now.

Edit: I love this man.

When asked what talent he had he replied, “That of governing men” and then demanded to be sold to Xeniades saying, “Sell me to that man; for he wants a master.” Even though he was a slave at this point, and in no position to demand anything, he believed so completely in himself that others felt compelled to listen to him and do what he said.

And they did. And Xeniades loved him. In fact, the whole damn city loved him. That man was the very epitome of rizz.

Read up on what he said to Alexander the Great when they met up. Diogenes was just a fucking badass.

I did. It was in the article I linked above.

Get out of my sunlight.

And my fav…

If I were not Diogenes, I would also wish to be Diogenes.

Yes. Nobody wants to see me naked. I don’t even want to see me naked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I want to see you naked.

Not in a sexual way, but you've got me curious now.
