I couldn't bring myself to watch these videos but I asked a friend who's more resilient to cringe to watch for me and here is what she reported back:

• In the first video he covers his marriage and then halfway through begins talking about why women and men lie about their age, then complains about Chinese people being in Japan, talks about going to a university, then cooks some pasta.
• In the second video he complains about missing a package delivery and walks to the post office, gets his divorce papers, and vents about stuff he left in Japan. Discusses the contents of a letter his ex-wife sent him, and then his personal feelings about the divorce. Ends with cooking.
• In the third video he talks about the financial benefits of purchasing a "rubberized girlfriend", which cost him $328, how there's no risk of pregnancy, STIs, bleeding, rejection ("she can't say no”), or crying. Ends with cooking and doxes himself.
• In the fourth video he talks about why he doesn't wash his rubberized girlfriend because of how difficult it is to clean it. "It feels like washing a baby in the sink or a raw chicken." He also states he likes the smell of himself. Currently lives with his parents. Ends with cooking.

The transparency and clear communication really make this place feel like a community. Especially when we can directly see the impact we have on this instance.

I support these new rules.

Please give Gizmo a slice for me.

This is the perfect Christmas gift and the new upgrade looks great! Excited to see Lemmy continue growing. It’s really helped improve my relationship with social media and cut back on my doomscrolling while encouraging me to participate and break out of my lurker shell.

Plate on pillow. Eat directly over plate. Shake out blanket off bed if necessary.

I wish I could scrub my eyes from this pain.

I just subscribed today but I think these rules feel very solid, along with the intent behind them. I especially like the rule about reposts as I don't like seeing repeated content over and over, regardless how much time has passed in between said posts.

Oh, for sure. That’s what I keep telling him.

Show me a billionaire that’s never broken a law.

Mine are the same way but with lunch meat. I will never be able to make a sandwich in peace. Trying to be inconspicuous is impossible when they have noses that can smell my every action.

I wish.

It’s been debunked as an inaccurate measurement of intelligence so it feels more like a Buzzfeed quiz result nowadays.

I apologize. This morning, whatever search terms I used, brought back many articles stating they were debunked. This afternoon with different search terms, I am seeing more back and forth on the validity of these tests. It’s also not something I have heard psychologists use in regards to mental health.

Apparently his name is Amarant Coral. I can never remember his name either.

Also recommend checking out Ghost Story Games' announced title Judas if you haven't already.

I remember when Stray was first revealed. I was confused because it reminded me of a Tumblr art post of a cat in an alleyway with a similar game concept that I saw in the early 2010's. Lo and behold, it was early concept art for Stray, waaaaay before it was a legitimate project. This may have been one of the pictures they shared.

What did I just stumble across.
