That's a weird way of spelling "I need someone to touch my prostate"

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

... unless it has a flared base.
Wait isn’t that just sex?
🥵
My buttplug begs to differ
alcohol it is then
You're goddamn right.
What is this actually saying? I feel like most of the helpful things I can think of are external.
- medication
- therapy
- healthy relationships
- proper nutrition
- sunlight and/or plants
- hobbies and/or fulfilling work
Is exercise internal??
I can see some kinds of therapy being considered internal because that's where the work is getting done, but the instructions are given to you by an outside source.
medication does work but only when administered. A pill or a shot does nothing until you take it, at which point its no longer external. Same can be said about nutrition.
Perhaps we shouldn't take life advice from screenshots of cowsay on the internet.
It's not just medication. There's internal work to do. Do I really think x? Why or why not?
Also, we have to get over drive through mentality. We're not going to see results on day one. Eye most likely going to feel worse before we feel better. We take a grain of faith because we can see lasting results of the brave souls who came before us who did the work, are still doing the work, often without the luxury of medication or decent therapy, but who searched books, websites, and trialed and errored until something worked because they didn't have money for therapy and medication. I'm not saying this is the way it should be. I am saying that's how it is, and we either work with what we have or can access or you know, expect a fairly godmother to wave a magic wand or something, then continue to rail about how unfair it all is while nothing changes for the better. For me it was a series of frightening, painful ego deaths without benefit of therapy or medication. It worked though, because I had two choices: get better or get worse. It's been slow, messy, and I've backslid and had to recover ground. I'm lucky, but also I've worked my butt off. There will be those who can not do this, despite effort, without medication and therapy. Those of us who have made progress need to work toward conditions that help others access tools to help themselves. Setbacks will happen. We keep going anyway.
Yeah, sounds like some lame new age bullshit.
honestly it feels more insidious than that, it feels like its meant to make people feel bad for not magically curing themselves and to make people not want to offer help to those who most need it.
Like you can easily turn this into transphobia: "oooooo HRT is external, you can't fill an internal void with an external hormone!"
Thus this message is absolute fucking dogshit and should be deposited in the nearest garbage bin where it belongs.
cowsay is still my favourite package
i love how the collective instinctive reaction to this is "dick tho" 🙏
Pfftft, watch me. *continues snacking*
No, I think people are more than just themselves, you need other people, you need community (and dick, dick works too)
My balloon catheter begs to differ.
People ignore/make jokes about this because no one wants to look at the ugliness within ourselves. The only way out is through. It's not fun. It's neverending. It's necessary.
i looked at the ugliness within myself and it said it NEEDS cock
That's why I put the alcohol inside me
just use the yummy external solution of whipped cream from a can
Oatmeal does pretty good, it’s very filling
Cowsay fuck
what if i internalize it tho?
I dunno, I’m willing to try. Please send an exorbitant amount of external goods to me, preferably in a form that my bank can process. After 1 year we will see if my inner voids are healed.
how many dickpics have you recieved by now?
Sounds like someone hasn't seen me eat kimchi.
This is the type of shit I used to see when I set my terminal to pipe fortune to cowsay at the beginning of every session
