One factor in the "male loneliness epidemic" is that a lot of these "lonely men" we've heard about until we're sick of it are outright terrible people that no one wants to be around.

Why old-time is better than bluegrass: the fiddle and banjo players play melodies instead of collections of licks

Why bluegrass is better than old-time: the rhythm section actually changes chords when they're supposed to

“There is a tendency to consider mountain banjo music as something pretty quaint and old-fashioned, albeit lively and exciting. It is important to realize that comparatively recently, this was the most far out music in Appalachia.... It took a native of the region, Josiah Combs, to give us the first description of the mountain minstrel. Writing in his doctoral dissertation, Folk-songs du Midi des Etats-Unis, at the Sorbonne in the 1920s, he gave it in the form of this admittedly comic and slanted speech of a highland judge to the grand jury:

‘Gentlemen: whenever you see a great big overgrown buck sitting at the mouth of some holler, or at the forks of some road, with a big slouch hat on, a blue celluloid collar, a celluloid, artificial red rose in his coat lapel, a banjo strung across his breast, and a-pickin’ of Sourwood Mountain, fine that man, gentlemen, fine him! For if he hasn’t already done something, he’s a-goin’ to.’"

I've had serious alcohol cravings lately accompanied by dreams about drinking. It fucking sucks

[curseofmeatthawsmoth]

"if I give up drinking, people won't think I'm cool or funny or sexy anymore"

Nobody thinks a grown man stumbling around with a poorly-concealed bottle of alcohol wearing dirty clothes and covered in vomit is cool. No one thinks having to steal or beg or find something, anything, to pawn because you no longer have money to buy more booze or pay rent is funny. No one thinks passing out and wetting the bed or spilling vodka all over the sheets is sexy.

You can have a nice life. You don't have to piss your money away. You don't have to go back to the hospital with another case of DTs. You don't have to lie to your family and friends or disappoint them when you show up drunk again. Is it easy? No. I've relapsed many times and chances are I will again but one day when I put the bottle down it's going to be for the last time. Recovery is hard. Regret is harder.

thank you for saying the tooth thing. my ex bf was really mean to me abt giving toothy bjs and it's like dude. i have a small mouth there's nothing i can do abt this 😭

Mouths have teeth, nothing we can do about it.

I understand that no one wants a poopy dick but if you are putting your penis in someone's butthole you run that risk. If someone paints you, jump in the shower, clean up, and get back to it. Be men about it. Similarly, mouths have teeth, and if your cock is in someone's mouth, you might feel their teeth. Don't be weird about it

Years of chronic alcoholism have severely compromised my health but I'm lucky in that my doctor told me, "well, what you like to drink is pretty much the best thing you could drink if you're going to drink"

I'm not as allergic to the idea of leadership as many (A)s. Not all leadership is hierarchical and I think that denying leadership exists in our movement is a great way for unaccountable de facto leadership to develop

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

When I wrecked my car I scrambled my brains and ever since I've been the horniest man alive. I used to mostly side but ever since the accident I wanna POUND HOLES

When Wolfi's new translation of Stirner was released it became apparent that many people talking about St Max had never actually read him, as many were scandalized by his apparent racial interpretation of a historical dialectic of progress.

Was Stirner a racist? I'm guessing a 19th century European probably had some racist attitudes. But Stirner did not actually have a philosophy of history and was parodying Hegel's.

I love dirty talk with the boys (especially if I've been drinking). I asked a friend of mine how many women he'd been with and he said, "Two." And I was like, "Yeah, I've only been with four, depending on what we're counting as sex" and he looked up to the sky and groaned and said, "So my gay friend has had sex with more women than I have"
