Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction, You Should, Too
Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.

The Nerdskull@nerdskull.bsky.social · 17h agoDaily reminder that “porn addiction” is not a real thing, and is an invention of the far-right, which they use to demonize both the healthy usage of porn, and to call for censorship of LGBTQ speech. Anyone who supports the idea of “porn addiction” is legitimizing that and all it entiails.
interested to know if the NZ left is capable of a coherent stance on the genocidal Iran sanctions announced by the US today, given the "having it both ways" stances of "both are bad" in support of sanctions previously - including from the Greens This SHOULD be a line in the sand for everyone
GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
there’s no algorithm or engagement boosting on bluesky. the reason transphobes, racists, and other various assorted bigots find it so hard to get a foothold here is simply bcos their views are unpopular and nobody actually likes them. without billionaires boosting them they’re nothing.

If there's one thing I've learned on this SCH power-leveling journey for relic purposes, it's this: Healers, we need to talk. You have spoiled Duty Roulette tanks by working too hard. Too many of these people never press a single mitigation ability during trash pulls. They lean on you to not die.
It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.
Amanda Mull@amandamull.bsky.social · 4d agoTech execs do not have, like, a theory of mind for people who aren’t tech execs. If they did, they wouldn’t be so frequently baffled by how repulsive normal people think their whole deal is right now
