Don't know whether to go sleep or binge-read another cow thread? Get milk or tea? Dedicate your remaining life time to Dr*ver or Dano, and don't want to keep any of those important decisions in Sanic-samas capable hands? Fret not–present your dilemma, let farmers burn some sage and have them take that burden off of your exhausted shoulders.
Keep US laws, and more importantly, TPO, in mind and don't ask whether to an hero or which fun method to use, we're not serious like that.

Once again in awe at how amazing and kind my best friends are…. I broke up with a guy but need to get my stuff from the apartment we shared. It’s a bunch of furniture and packing so not just picking up a few boxes it’s really involved.
Both of my best friends are taking off from work and driving 10+ hours to the other side of the country to the apartment to help me pack. They’ve refused me paying for gas or a hotel and just told me it’s what friends do. What did I do to deserve this, I love them so much I’m going to cry…

I've actually sorted a lot of my apartment after saying I would. It's been overwhelming but also good. Anytime I feel bored I do some more. I finished my bedroom though, it's so cohesive and tidy I love it and finally organised everything I own. Literally everything I even went through all my old uni notes and got rid of the fluff and kept everything and put it into order. I have all my personal documents filed and organised. Feels good.

Beware of /tttt/ourists, who have been shitting up the troon threads in /snow/ lately. Report and ignore anything you suspect is written by troons.

ITT: Discuss the controversies and disagreements between fujoshi, yumejoshi, and himejoshi. Note: yumes and self-shipping aren't necessarily the same thing. Slashers and fujos also aren't exactly the same, though they heavily overlap.

Topics include:
>Whether there is a causal relationship between consumption of yaoi/slash and trooning out
>Voyeurism vs. self-insertion
>Yaoi men vs. bara men vs. 3DPD gay moids
>To what degree does the fiction a person consumes need to comport with their real life ideologies and politics
>Female creators' portrayal of male-male sex/romance vs. male creators' portrayal of female/female sex/romance
>Do women read yaoi or slash as an "escape" from misogyny IRL
>Can women be "porn addicts" and/or why are women held to higher standards of moral purity than men
>Whether (or why) lesbians can/cannot be fujoshi
>No True Fujoshi (i.e., does enjoying straight-with-extra steps shit like A/B/O, Mpreg, cuntboy, etc. make someone "less" of a fujoshi)

>Anal leads to prolapse so it's not a very good or natural idea lol.
Anons are going to be pissed off at me for saying this, but there's very little data pertaining specifically to the relationship between anal sex and anal prolapse, so it can't really be proven one way or the other. Most of the research on the risks of anal sex focus on incontinence, which is uncommon (8.3% of women who receive vs. 5.7% of men who receive). Additionally, frequency and "roughness" both played major roles; couples who engaged in otherwise "vanilla" anal at a frequency of once a week or less did not have an elevated risk of injury compared to the general population; the majority of complications were associated with individuals who engaged in "high risk" behavior, like fisting, chemsex, dry anal, and BDSM. Sauce: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-024-02995-2

And more to the point, no one is going to develop a fucking prolapse or rectal incontinence in a yaoi manga, because it's fiction for women and no woman wants to see that (aside from maybe like, three schizos on all of planet Earth).

>Wasn't the prostate orgasm thing debunked?
No? There isn't much clinical research on this topic, but of the few academic and clinical papers I found on Google Scholar, none indicated anything that could remotely be characterized as "debunking." Here's one: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ca.23006

Yeah, I never really understood this point from the few yume antifujos that make it, being one myself. I get that it's fun to self-insert and daydream, but to do it all the time is boring (imo), and to not understand that other people don't self-insert is weird. And it's not even with romance specifically, but stories about anything in general. As much as I enjoy self-insertion, I find as much enjoyment reading about characters who are nothing like me, living very different lives, discovering who they are as people, how they approach conflicts and their relationships with other characters. Those antifujos might say that because self-inserting is their main hobby or they find fujos annoying, but I can only guess.

Continuing this conversation, my interlocutor from gender thread seems to be uninterested in my sources but in a last-ditch attempt to do the argument justice I will reply to her provided sources here (since they have nothing to do with gender ideology). The claim is that these two studies "demonstrate that it is absolutely possible for a therapist to implant a false memory into a patient" and "(t)hey didn't invent memories of abuse because of the ethics issue I touched on before, but they did go for things more traumatic than being lost in a mall."

She provided two sources for the claim traumatic memories like incestuous CSA memory can be induced, the first is: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227614253_False_Memories_of_Childhood_Experiences from 1995. The study asked participants to recall 2-5 true childhood memories provided by their parents, plus one false one that supposedly happened when they were 5 years old. If they were not able to recall the event, the interviewers prompted them with further details and people who supposedly had been at the event with them. They were then encouraged to try to remember the events they had forgotten over the following week, and then had a second interview where the interviewer more aggressively prompted them to remember the event.

First of all, the study was unable to get participants to recall false memories in the first interview. Zero participants recalled a false event during interview 1. However, some participants in interview 1 recalled similar (true) memories to the faked event. During the second interview, 4/20 subjects claimed to recall the false events: 2 recalled a fake birthday party with pizza and a clown, and 2 recalled an overnight hospital trip for an ear infection.

The four subjects who recalled the 'false' memories had described similar real events during their first interview. For instance, one recalled a real birthday party, but in interview 1 they attempted to incorporate the false information given by the interviewer by saying 'oh, maybe a visit from a clown, somePost too long.

The second cited study is this one from 1999: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12813354_The_Nature_of_Real_Implanted_and_Fabricated_Memories_for_Emotional_Childhood_Events_Implications_for_the_Recovered_Memory_Debate
The participants all were interviewed about one real event that had occurred to them, and one false event. They were informed their parents had confirmed the events occurred (again, another key difference between supposedly 'recovered' CSA memories and false memories in these studies, because presumably the 'false CSA memories' were recovered without confirmation from relatives). The interviewer gave 4 details about the event, and if it was not recalled during the first interview, they encouraged the participant to go home and remember it before the 2nd interview.
>Next, some social pressure was applied.
The participants were told most people can retrieve lost memories if they try hard enough. This differs from most of the type of cases (including Jennifer Freyd) that Loftus and the FMSF adjudicated, because most of them were either continuously recalled or 'recovered' without external social pressure to remember anything. More on this later.
>The participant was informed the purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of various memory retrieval techniques. The interviewer slowly repeated the event information to bring the person "mentally back to the scene of the event."
Remember, they were told their parents had confirmed these details, and they were between 4-10 years of age when they happened (so in many cases, well before the 7-year cutoff where autobiographical memory generally becomes reliable). They were also not allowed to discuss these memories with anyone they knew who would share memories with them (unlike Freyd and others, who 'recovered' or recontextualized memories in Post too long.

No. 2569046

>>2568788
The false memory foundation does seem to be a rapist and his wife trying to cover his crimes, yes. Loftus is not a lawyer though, she is a world-famous, extremely influential scientist who has supposedly proven that memory isn't reliable and was very influential in convincing other scientists and judges that sexual abuse survivors should not be believed in most cases. She's written hundreds of papers and several books about how memory can't be 'recovered' and how memories of trauma are often completely false.

Reading about the UK grooming gangs report they just came out has got me thinking about how immigration is used to funnel children into sex rings in different countries. In the UK, the rape gangs were brought in as immigrants and began supplying children they acquired to MPs and elites while the same elites told social services to look the other way. Im pretty sure the same happens in the US, there have been a lot of reports of immigrant children going missing and placed with random unrelated men, and it's all covered up by the media and social services.

It doesn't take much to remind me why we're semi-estranged. You're a condescending, borderline narcissistic, aggro asshole. I feel sorry for your dog. Just screaming at it and yanking its leash isn't going to train it to listen to you. Your dumbass still believes the "alphas and pack mentality" meme. BTW, the neighbor doesn't have grounds to sue you when she was the one who couldn't control her dog when it ran after yours. You were neither a trespasser nor aggressor. But you just roll your eyes, despite being little more than someone who handles clerical tasks, and insist that you "see it all the time and they're totally going to sue me, you don't know anything". Okay you dumb asshole, I was trying to be realistic with you and maybe help soothe your worry, but that wouldn't make a good story to spin for Facebook pity points alongside the "ohhh i've been working myself to death, look how skinny and sad I am" when weeks before that you were bragging about losing weight from being more active outdoors. I wonder how many people see through your shit and roll their eyes too? You always have to find something to milk for pity from your audience when you're not making up outright lies bragging about nonexistent achievements. You've slipped up quite a few times.

The headline means someone played Pokemon games as they got released the past 20 years, transfered pokemon from the GBA games to the DS ones, to the Pokemon Bank and then to Pokemon Home. I did that with my own games and my very old save files and it was super annoying with some mini games, I'd be mad if it happened to me ngl. The 1000 hours of gameplay is a separate data, it's the total amount of time spent on each save file and it's very easy to accumate that much time if you spent 20 years playing video games a little bit on a regular basis.
