  • Hopefully they will find better jobs with better employers.

    For everyone who uses Windows, try Linux. Don’t be scared to try something new, most things that are worthwhile come with some sacrifice. Sometimes, if we don’t leave our comfort zone, we miss out.

    I will provide a small guide, but there are tons of resources on the internet.

    See the ranking on the right hand side here: https://distrowatch.com/ You can pick something from there on the top of the list.

    Watch YouTube to learn more about each Linux distro that you find interesting.

    I personally would recommend Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros, as they have the widest support.

    You don’t have to wipe your Windows-installation completely, instead you can dual-boot. This allows you to pick Windows or Linux when you start your computer. If you feel comfortable switching entirely, you can wipe out Windows and keep Linux exclusively.

    Just be careful when you partition your drive, don’t accidentally overwrite your Windows installation (if that’s not what you want to do). Make a backup copy of your most important files on a separate external drive before the installation.





  • Look, you are right.

    It is a red flag though. And as I pointed out to him, there are many anecdotes speaking of porn causing harm. He ignored all the red flags and went with the usual line of “it’s perfectly normal in moderation”, which I’m arguing is the wrong attitude to have given the issues that many people have from porn (or in proximity to porn).


  • any legitimate science

    There is literally a big button on the menu called “Research”. Clicking it leads to several scientific articles. One of which is:

    A Meta‐Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies (2015)

    From the abstract:

    Consumption [of pornography] was associated with sexual aggression in the United States and internationally, among males and females, and in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.

    Oh, and here is more.

    So the science that is referenced is illegitimate, because why, it disagrees with your inverted desires?

    Furthermore, in the book, he cites multiple anecdotes from porn consumers. These are valuable in and of themselves.

    according to his bio he refused to allow himself to have an orgasm even when he had sex with his wife lol Gary Wilson was mentally ill and all of his theories seem to be centered around a bizarre delusion he had that men should never experience pleasure

    See, this is how I know you are disingenuous. Not only did you ignore the plentiful resources that the website I linked to had to offer, but you also went straight to attacking the person (originally) behind the site and straw-manning him.

    If anything the link you shared has convinced me even more that pornography is healthy and perfectly normal when used in moderation.

    It’s a drug. The “use in moderation” argument is going out the window.
