TBH I think TNG did this very well with the Klingons (depending on who was writing the episode, of course). Like, some Klingons were Real Klingons™ but many others only gave lip service to those ideals and were actually as sneaky and cowardly as any other race. I think a lot of Worf’s inner conflict came from realizing and processing that fact.

This one’s a little borderline, but please mark it as NSFW anyway.

You mean condoms? Only sailors use those!

I’m going to add that the content on that comm almost certainly violates the deepfake ban that is going to get passed in the UK very soon, which carries a six month jail sentence. We do not want to mess around with that, so that combined with the general uncertainty over how the consent rule applies to it made it an easy call.

which way, what I posted or without numbers?

also no

So just typing numbers breaks formatting, but I can see what I can do.

They are numbered? Do you not see them like this?

YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME

just generally have a place for any questions

Where do babies come from?

Yup. It fell under rule 5, so we removed it.

Oh, buddy, that’s not something you should be asking an NSFW messageboard about. Porn isn’t going to make that any better if you’re struggling with envy and resentment. Unless you’re a genetic 1%er, it’ll probably make it worse. My advice? Find a good therapist. That’s the most straightforward path to helping yourself.

Yes, that’s called getting older. Happens to most of us that aren’t genetic 1%ers after a certain age. Late 20s sounds about right – maybe even a little late.

source pls?

The Buddha teaches that desire is the root of all suffering. Abandon the desire and you abandon the suffering.

Envy is resenting another person for having what you think you lack, but the resentment comes from you, not from them. They are doing nothing wrong.

You feel resentment because you feel bad about not having something, not them having it. After all, if you both had it then you wouldn’t feel bad, would you? It’s a lack of self-esteem and a glut of self-hatred that you’re really fighting. Resentment is just a projection of that feeling outwards instead of inwards. It’s much easier to dislike them because then you don’t have to confront what it is about yourself that you dislike.

It’s ok to see someone and want what they have, as long as you can let that feeling go. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and then release it. Acknowledge that any negativity comes from how you feel about yourself, not them. Acknowledge this your self-hatred is a problem you can solve, and then do something to solve it.

Thanks for posting! Love this picture. Next time you post, could you make sure to tag it [nude] or [explicit] or whatever’s appropriate?

Here’s a post I got one of these reports on. Can someone from .world check? NSFW, obvi.

It certainly could be a client thing, but I’m betting it’s a federation problem. Some kind of bug that’s hard to trace.

That’s upsettingly plausible. Ugh.
