Never compare your everyday with someone else's claimed high points. Comparison is the thief of joy.

I mean I find their posts interesting for that same reason, but I don't feel the need to get railed by old japanese men so I don't think much joy is being stolen from me

Never say never!

My high points are when my cat does something particularly cute, when I remember a bash command without needing to look it up, or when some jerk in a book I'm reading finally gets their comeuppance.

I have very little joy for comparison to steal. It's just kind of disorienting to realize that someone can live like that. Like, wanting something that involves human connection (whether sexual or otherwise), and actually getting it. And not being judged for having those needs, let alone announcing them.

Something about it doesn't compute. It just kinda breaks my brain a little. Can't wrap my mind around what that would be like.

My high point was reading this comment. And I used to be the male version of Violet 20 years ago.

It's just a simple compliment to an internet stranger. Their comment made me feel happy for a moment. Take a deep breath and move on if you didn't like mine.

Hey, thanks stranger!

Side note, I've always been curious whether "simping" is short for "simpering" or "sympathizing." I've seen it used either way, I think.

Like, when it's used as an insult to people who are overly obsequious towards another, I could see it meaning "simpering."

But when it's used as a noun to refer to someone who supports something detestable, I could see it meaning "sympathizer," and then subsequently being converted to verb form by nature of internet slang...

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I had to look this up and Wikipedia says two things that I didn't expect. Looks like "sympathizer" wasn't far off:

  • Originally a shortening of "simpleton", the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English traces usage of the noun simp to 1903.
  • Simp began to have the connotation of someone being "soft" and "overly sympathetic" in the 1980s, when it was used by West Coast rappers [...] Simp was referenced by Sir Mix-a-Lot in his 1992 hit "Baby Got Back" in the lyrics, "A lot of simps won't like this song".

I see. I didn't know it's been around that long. The first time I heard it was a few years ago and I assumed it was a Gen Z thing like "rizz" and "no cap"

Even IF you compare, this is probably not someone to envy.

Everybody I know personally who had vibes like that was a mess. Always surrounded by drama, almost up to reality TV levels.

It's fun to enjoy the horny from afar, without any commitment to the rest of the life. But for your own life it's important to realize that even if you have A LOT of sex, >80% of your daily life will be NOT having sex - and that all kinds of people have sex and can be really kinky even... they just don't sit down and write about it.

you should print the last sentence on the door of every gym. And for slightly different reasons, in all male bathrooms/changing rooms 😄

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

You just haven't compared thoroughly enough.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

In the men's room it should read: "Comparison will get you stabbed. Keep your eyes off my junk" -Confucius

So if a guy looks too much it's time for penetration?

Based and dick pilled
