Something that might help you be a little more lax when it comes to individuals on YouTube, is a lot (if not most) of YouTube traffic actually comes from phones, so there's probably a large number of comments made using a mobile phone. I don't know about you, but I have a very difficult time typing anything actually meaningful on a phone. The keyboard is so small and my fingers are fairly big, plus I have to deal with the imperfections of the touchscreen sometimes pressing buttons I don't mean to. Add autocorrect, trying it's best to totally ruin everything you are trying to say by automatically replacing words with other words that make no sense if given the smallest amount of context. Anyway, phones are frustrating, and I seldom use my phone except for calling. I even use my computer for texting/calling most of the time, because it's just so much easier for me to navigate. This is starting to go on a bit of a tangent about how I hate phones, so I'll stop there, lol.

Mostly just a personal preference, I like that it's open source and I like supporting open-source projects. It being open-source means there are more eyes on the code and it's less likely for it to have security vulnerabilities, since multiple people can contribute to help fix bugs. Also, it helps ensure that the software isn't doing anything shady in the background, since people can audit the code to see exactly what it's doing. This isn't a sure fire guarantee, but it does hold the company more accountable, since if they were hiding something malicious in their code and someone found it, it could ruin their reputation. Whereas companies with non-open-sourced code can do whatever they want. It's also significantly cheaper than Grammarly, which is a reason in of itself. Grammarly costs $12/mo $144/year, LanguageTool is $60/year, which is less than half of Grammarly. I also find LanguageTool's privacy policy to be a bit more readable and easy to understand, whereas Grammarly's is significantly longer with a lot more variables to consider. I prefer to use products with easier to understand Privacy Policies, so I know what I'm signing up for. It's all a matter of personal choice. I use what works for me and others should use what works for them!

So, I was just writing something and my grammar correcting program "LanguageTool" basically the open source alternative to "Grammarly" told me that "Thanks in advance" can come off as demanding. This is especially odd to me as I always thought of "Thanks in advance" to be a polite way of ending a letter/message. Mind you, this isn't meant to be some super serious post, simply me asking your thoughts on this as I find it fairly interesting.

My room has to be cold and the fans need to be on all at full blast. I can't sleep without the fans on. I was having trouble sleeping awhile ago and looked something up and found a trick they do in the military to fall to sleep quickly. Try your best to think about something easy to think about, something that rests your mind. Next lay flat on your back with your limbs stretched out (or put in a relaxing position that's comfortable to you.) and just lay. Personally My limbs are almost never fully stretched as that's not comfortable for me, but once I find a good position for my limbs that usually works pretty well for me.

We have to pay to use out laundry machine, it's about $4 to do a load of laundry, this includes washer & dryer, If we need to use multiple washers or dryers that's another $4, I usually try to minimize trips, just because it's inconvenient, and I'd rather get my money's worth and fill up a whole machine. Plus it's a hassle cause I need to walk out to the laundry room 3 times, one to put in the laundry, put the laundry into the dryer and take the laundry back into our apartment. Each machine takes up 45 minutes to finish. So, I usually do it right around when our dirty clothes hamper is full, which is usually about 1 washing machine/dryer worth of clothes. I'm not opposed to doing it more, say if we need a specific set of clothes for an event/outing, but usually, it's just when the hamper is full.

There were Multiple "Top Or Bottom?" posts that both did not go in the way my mind went, when I think top or bottom I consider them to be interchangeable with sub or dom. Anyway, I decided to post this because I wanted to see the results. Also, because I think it's amusing to have multiple posts slightly relating to "top or bottom" but referring to them in different ways. Are you more Submissive or Dominant? If you're a switch, but prefer one side let me know what side you prefer. If you genuinely don't mind either, let me know. Be as specific/brief as you like. I'm personally very much so a submissive.

I know, it's not that I feel bad doing the laundry, I happily do it. I just worry because I don't look like I'd be married, if that makes sense. Lots of people mistake me for being younger than I am. I'm not in some delusion where men have to do "men work" and women do "women's work", my wife and I help each other out on whatever we need to do. (usually we do whatever chores the other one hates to do the most.) I think you may have taken the post a little more seriously than I meant it. I don't have crippling anxiety over it, but It's just something I think about passively while doing the laundry.

Edge is based on Chromium. So it just gets added to the chrome statistic. This would be the same with all Chromium-based browsers, such as Brave. I'm personally proud to be part of that Firefox statistic.

Lol, I could do that, but I prefer the mullet. I like it, nomatter how unpopular it is! lol

I like having long hair, but I don't like it in my eyes, so a mullet just kind of happens when I trim it to keep it out of my eyes.

That is quite a story, I don't know how I would have reacted in a situation like that. I think you probably did a better job keeping your cool than I would have.

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever post my face online. I try my best to keep my personal life and online life separate, I don't always do the best job at it, but I try. I can tell you that I'm nothing special to look at, lol. I look like a hippie. I have a goatee and a mullet with a small bit of hair that makes up my mustache (probably doesn't even classify it's so piddly, lol.) and my eyes are always squinted and look like they are closed basically at all times (due to severe light sensitivity) I'm sure your mental image will be significantly more fun than an actual picture, lol.

I have a tigger onesie that is especially embarrassing to wash. My wife uses it more than me though, since I don't get cold very often, lol. That's about the only ABDL related thing I have that would need to be washed. My wife's bras are the worst of it because she's fairly well-endowed in the chest area, so it can be pretty hard to hide them in a pile of clothing. I've gotten a few looks, mostly from women, when I transport those from one machine to another or from a dryer to our hamper.

Okay, so this requires a bit of context. I live in an apartment complex, our washer/dryer units are in a shared laundry facility and not inside the apartment itself. I do all the laundry in the house, simply because my wife doesn't like doing it and I don't actually mind. It's also good to split the chores up as evenly as possible. Anyway because the laundry facility is shared with other tenants (there's a few scattered around the complex, so it's usually not very crowded) I feel very nervous when doing the laundry, specifically because I handle my wife's laundry as well, this includes her delicates (bras, panties, etc..) I always worry, specifically when I'm moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer or taking it from the dryer into our hamper, that people will think I'm just stealing a women's clothes. I often do probably silly things like try to get a pile of clothes and place her delicates in between (I generally try to grab a pile of clothes in general, so I'd do a version of this anyway) I wouldn't worry so much if I looked more masculine, like I could feasibly be married, but my wife and I are usually confused for being siblings, one time when I was going to a lab to get blood work done (not my regular doctors obviously) they thought my wife was my mother (even though she's shorter than me. I'm 5'6'' she's 5'2''). I just worry some dude or woman is going to see me doing our laundry and think I'm just trying to steal some stranger's clothing. Just thought I'd share, more of a silly post and not something I'm actively struggling with, but I do worry a confrontation is going to happen, and I'm going to have an awkward time explaining if/when it does.

While the image amused me, I think you're replying to the wrong post. They're clearly advocating that the people who caused the problem be properly dealt with, not to police people for their thoughts (which was the message I got from the post they made before the one you are quoting) And I agree, people who actively were responsible for causing this problem and breaking this (already existing) rule should be dealt with beyond just a slap on the wrist and a "don't do it again."

My mom hasn't talked to me since before the court case, but I still got her a $25 amazon giftcard for her birthday and another for mother's day $50 in total. She texted me to thank me, but that's pretty much it.

I 100% agree with this. If this rule was never in place and was just now being addressed, I might think differently as those people who spoke might not have seen a problem doing so, however this rule is not new and is visible in the already fairly hidden site rules section "-Do not use hate speech. This includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism and sexism." "-Do not harass other users." I was not there, so I do not know what happened, but it seems like at least one of these preestablished rules were broken. A simple slap on the wrist is not valid. I've been a huge advocate for a more extensive, easier to find set of rules for a long time now. Once again, I don't know what happened exactly, cause I wasn't there to witness. However, I have seen people be banned for very silly things, for "rules" that are not anywhere on the site. This rule exists, it can be found, those who broke it should face some sort of consequences, beyond a simple warning. Something similar that happened semi-recently is that the R-word was used a lot on this site, if you look it up, I'm sure you can still find them. Mikey made a post saying that the R word should not be used for obvious reasons (however that post was not pinned) Anyway, it would be silly to go and retroactively remove the R-word from the site, since it was not a "rule" until that post was made. Which is how I would feel about this, if the rule was nor already established, which it was.

I'm in favor of this wholeheartedly; however, I hope that the individuals who caused this whole commotion were dealt with. As that's not policing people for thoughts, that's policing people for actions.

Have the users responsible for this whole thing not been banned? If that's what you're saying, then I agree with you, those users should be dealt with. But we should not convict users just for their thoughts/views/opinions if they have not actively caused any problems.

What you are advocating for is literal thought crime, and is thankfully impossible to enforce with current day technology. Like Mikey mentioned above, it is impossible for someone to make trans-individuals or other LGBTQ+ people uncomfortable if they keep it to themselves. Since you'd literally never know they had such views.

Oh, I thought Riley was the Admin. I really like @Protectionwe had a chat before and she's a very nice individual. I hope whatever admin chased her away was properly dealt with.

one of the admins was really transphobic? Which one? Who's Riley?
