  • So um … he missed the crucial step of wearing pants. Being pent-up from not even masturbating over whatever time-period explains … that … for him, wasn’t a good idea either.

    I will say, health education needs to teach everyone the concept of kegels, likely even seprately from sex-ed.

    I don’t recal how-exactly I ended-up expirimenting with tantric orgasm(chill, I almost certainly read about it first, maybe after hearing my mom rant about “unholy” yoga practices)almost the moment puberty hit, and I’m not exactly the picture of mental health nor particularly suave, but I’ve also never ended up having basically a seizure while standing, or otherwise outed myself over (clothed)pre-mature ejaculation, if I even noticed it happening.




  • I didn’t say anything about labelling, but facebook does have it in place. Its not just that they can’t reply back; They can’t even see their own comment or the OP any-more, let alone your reply.

    EDIH: I agree with you that labelling is best and getting notified about something you can’t reply to is stupid, but beyond that, I’m in favor of thinking of communities more as private spaces. Whether its right or not, mods, admins, blog authors or peertube videographers can treat those threads as if our comments are un-wanted trespassers and they have no obligation to explain their reasoning.

    There’s no point in getting worked-up about it. 99 times in a hundred, its not hard to anticipate how what we want to say will be recieved in a given space.

    We aren’t prisoners, so we are also free to choose to take our comments elsewhere, or start our own instances or communities to host them. That said, if you anticipate moderating the replies to what you have to say to be too much work, well, that’s often how the mods in other places are looking at it.

    Its often not just “letting you say what you want”, but also, likely putting more effort into moderating the replies on your comment than yourself will have to. Work and effort you mostly won’t see or acknowlege.


  • RE: your question about the deletion of a thread you put to me on a post you’ve since deleted or had taken down by mods or whatever:

    RE: your question about deleting a thread.

    I can’t even see that thread, and as that was done by someone who has an account capable of making that thread-removal happen, likely as a mod or admin, I’mma say its their perogative.

    My facebook wall and posts are mine - there’s plenty of shit comments I’ve had to delete for various reasons, and if you have a problem with it, I would suggest not using facebook. Same goes for comments on Youtube vids. I’m unaware of any reason Mastodon should, or you would expect them to, handle comments on blog-posts or whatever any differently.

    Ownership and curration of one’s space and blocking are inherrent in the idea of voluntary federation/de-federation. I can’t delete replies to my posts on Lemmy in general, but that’s because they aren’t made to a community that I own or moderate, or the same for an instance with admins.









  • It’s always surprising to me to see her depicted as flustered like this. If the snakes aren’t also poisonous then what’s the point? Oh wait, she’s consistently taller and thicker than her guests too?

    … so where’s the part where she legit has no choice but to engage and demand they look at her face? Don’t come back with some “you have to accept being turned to stone to show respect for her as a person not an object” -take either; All I see is a brat in this version.

    I don’t even care about the lack of hospitality. Uninvited guests? That’s where I understand wanting to petrify, hurt, kill, intimidate or run-away from them, but again, that’s not this. This is more like … flirting.








  • . . . are you trying to re-invent the GIF/PNG or video-file?

    Basically, what I’m getting at, is that most social-media(particularly facebook, tumblr, twitter, tiktok) do “slideshows” as video. Web-pages can do whatever-you-want by comparison, but that’s not what you asked about(can we do frames on Lemmy, pretty-please? /s), so: Powerpoint can export directly to video, Google Slides will export to PNG, and LibreOffice … well … you’ll need OBS or some other screen-recorder for video, but also, it’ll export to GIF. Same goes for album software, like Windows Photo or digiKam. Even the Gallery app that came with my phone will do it, although surprisingly, Google Photos on Android either won’t do it or is just too obtuse for me to figure it out just now.

    Also, you seem to be unaware that albums can be accomplished by embedding multiple photos in the post content. You can throw a slideshow video in as your header, then put the pics that made it in the post body

    (^^this part^^).

    Sorry, but I don’t want you or anyone putting an album where I have no choice but to see the whole thing clogging-up my feed - even on tumblr, long posts start collapsed to a small chunk with a “See More” fold. I quite like how its done here, with a tap on a thumbnail, then a tap on the [+] for the rest.

    As for how we got here … blame ActiveX and flash-embedded malware. I’m still salty at the prevalence of JavaScript in their stead.

    IMHO, presentation software should have become little more than a specialized HTML/CSS, Video, or -yes-even-Album-editor long-ago. Its continued existance as-is just leads to idiots who think their presentation skills make them the second-coming, and questions like yours.

    To be clear, I appreciate you asking this. Your question isn’t in any way stupid or bothersome. I had not bothered to spell-out or organize my thoughts on the matter in … maybe ever. Can’t wait to find out I’ve basically plagarized some post or comment I read forever-ago.
