I'm down with this.

We could maybe skip the parachute part though.

That you for rising to the bait.

Your implication is that these people haven’t done any of that and you’re better than them because they like to do this stupid silly thing occasionally

That you are some kind of alpha human because you do things the lifestyle writers tell you that you have to do

American communities are isolating. We tend to live in suburbs and we don't have common areas to interact. Traditional forms of community like unions, lodges, and church have been in decline. I support any social activity that brings people together. I used to think Dungeons and Dragons was nerdy, but Dungeons and Dragons gets people to socialize IRL. It's far more social and cool than most video games.

I am, yes.

You having some kind of reaction to all the supplements you’re desperately taking to hold on to whatever self image of youth you fantasize about?

I take fiber cause it helps me poop. Which is weird because I eat a lot of vegetables and I wonder if I just have like a slow colon.

The point I was trying to make (which I didn't really articulate well I guess) is that this SFW ABDL corporate retreat is sad because there are more robust and rewarding experiences of creativity and exploration that are open to adults. This seems boring.

Just like there are better books and media that adults can engage with rather than re-masticating the same (kind of simple) media for teenagers over and over.

Nothing wrong with that in small doses, but it seems like it's a widespread cultural phenomenon and it's kind of sad and gross.

You should write a book describing what forms of leisure activities are acceptable for milquetoast white Americans to do and then tour the conservative talk show circuit ranting about how leftists are destroying American family values, etc etc


Your life must be so boring to start whining about what other people do

The general cultural retreat into infantilism is worth critiquing, I think.

And being a hater is very fun and free, thank you. Why you gotta hate on my hating, SolRo?

honestly less embarassing than posting/commenting on this site for decades on end

You got me there.

The Body Keeps the Score has really done a fucking number on America.

My parents' divorce where they had some terse exchanges is the same kind and degree of Trauma as Marines getting shelled and murking civilians, and I need to spend my whole adult life and enough money to support a working class family on my never ending healing journey.

Fantastic strawman, ash. I truly believe that's what you think is happening.

I am describing several people I know.
