I think it's more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that's hurtful. I've seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like "discipline".
You're either with us or against us.
Us vs. the system/females/people in power.
You're better than others. Or, if you trip up, you're garbage.
There's no in-between and no room for mistakes.
That's not good for you in the long run and it'll hurt more than it helps.
Hindsight is 20/20, after all.
Exactly. I have a friend who was going through it, even considered offing herself, but in the end she kept going and came out on the other side better and more mature than ever.
It took years, but she's now in a much better position, stable, and learned valuable life lessons.
She would say she was just surviving, but the desire to keep enduring takes strength, and to those of us who have never been tested like that, it is absolutely, 100% strength of character and will.
You don't eat your toothbrush or floss right? I think that's what the above poster was getting at.
You shouldn't eat a toothpick, either.
This swings both ways. Public information such as voting records, for example, were used to coerce, intimidate, and physically hurt innocent people in the past. I think it takes a mature culture/society to use public information responsibly and I don't think we are there yet.
Then again, a ton of awful stuff happens in private already, so there needs to be a balance of some kind.
No canned onion rings on top?
It's the same thing every season. Cold, flu, RSV, mycoplasma, hundreds of other viruses and bacteria, now COVID all go up when people congregate. We've known this since grade school.
Why the news is being sensationalist, who really knows? /s
Elon and Tesla are damn near perfect.
My two year old loves Sesame Street. Having grown up with it myself, I can say it's perfectly acceptable l and is in tune with this generations needs.
Is it my kind of perfect? No. But then again nothing is.
You know, I can't think of anybody that might deserve it. Makes me think of that duck's in heaven joke.
Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!" So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he has ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to the ugly woman!"
The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extemely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy.
The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, VERY careful where he steps. He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid eyes on: a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blonde. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The guy remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" She says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"
It's been years since it was released. If you haven't seen it at this point then saying *spoilers! * can only be seen as sarcastic.
