Coco Chanel said:That’s basically how people justify getting out of bed—to check sports scores or the weather forecast. It’s all just a different flavor of compulsion. Take my aunt, for example; she’s retired and barely leaves her house, yet she turns on the news or grabs the paper at least seven times a day just to see if it's going to rain tomorrow. Then there’s the 27-year-old neighbor who spends ten hours a day glued to a gaming console. I know someone who buys a hundred pairs of nylon stockings every month. My grandmother spends half her life playing Solitaire. Another neighbor lives in his office, pulling fifteen-hour shifts like it's oxygen. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually lives without being tethered to some obsession.
So, what's your vice? 🙂
placidranger: so everyone has an addiction, which means—it's fine??
Large breasts aren't the issue themselves—they’re just a symptom of a deeper underlying problem, whether that's psychological or relational. Simply cutting out porn won't fix the root cause, and frankly, it won't solve anything.
I think we can all agree there’s nothing inherently wrong with porn or masturbation, but when things reach an extreme level, that’s when you actually have a reason to worry.

cultured guy👍
It doesn't strike me as a sexual dysfunction or anything—what he's doing is perfectly normal—it's just the lack of shame that gets me. He isn't even embarrassed to be doing it in front of people.
Go ahead—keep selling those pixels if that's what you want—but let’s be clear: you understand business and marketing far less than I do (and I know my way around a balance sheet better than most Wall Street sharks).
By the way, creating clones just to back yourself up? That's a real power move right there. 👍 👍

You’re an idiot. People see right through you—they know you ripped off someone else's concept and you're trying to peddle it as some "groundbreaking, must-buy sensation." They also realize nobody is going to visit your site because you're nothing but a cheap knockoff. There's zero point in buying ad space when you have zero traffic.
Maybe a little bit of luck is left in this world for me to find.
Paul Cruz8 said:Look, I’m not trying to be an asshole here... I just couldn't quite find the right words—it happens. Besides, if I actually had anything better to do with my life, I wouldn't be wasting my time building a website and messing around with this stuff. You can judge me all you want; think whatever you like. I know my truth. It's pretty unfair for people to sit there passing judgment when they don't even know who I am. 😢
Let me try this approach instead: playing the pity card is a terrible marketing move—that whole "oh, poor me, please donate to my site because I can't afford groceries" routine. It’s slimy.
Paul Cruz8 said:Maybe I picked that specific angle by accident—it was just what was on my mind at the time. But look, this is a genuine revolution in advertising; you can see it in how fast these types of sites are popping up. These ads aren't even expensive—most people can afford them—but the logic remains the same: they want high traffic to make the investment worthwhile. I truly hope this site takes off, because my only reason for getting involved was to help my parents dig themselves out of debt... Now we’re looking at buying a new house, and honestly, it breaks my heart seeing my parents work themselves to death just to pay off a mortgage. I don't see anything wrong with helping them out. I’ve seen people on this forum tearing apart the guy who first brought this model to the States... It seems a bit pathetic to me. A person has the right to do what they want, even if their approach is slightly different here... but I won't get into that.
Give me a break. So you built a website and you're promoting it—fine, kudos to you, everyone needs to make a living. But stop trying to sell us this sob story about living with a blind grandmother and five spoiled kids, or acting like what you've built is some groundbreaking, revolutionary masterpiece.

Current science says you can't actually "fix" brain damage through sleep, though you can restore chemical equilibrium. That's why, for instance, when dealing with psychosis, the first line of defense is often just getting the patient to sleep.
I have nights where I don't sleep at all—zero. The next day, I'm either dragging my feet or vibrating from caffeine overdose. It’s a disaster. 😬 Some people think they can "make up" for lost sleep by crashing all weekend, but that’s a myth. It doesn't work like that. The healthiest move is a strict routine—hitting the sack and waking up at roughly the same time every single day, even on Saturdays and Sundays. Consistency helps you drift off easier because your body gets used to the rhythm; it sets your biological clock.
Going without sleep for an extended stretch—more than three days—leads to paranoia, hallucinations, and general mental instability. Don't try that at home.
I’m all for legalization. Honestly, I don't think whether we classify cannabis as a "drug" or something else even matters. The whole classification thing is incredibly murky—just look at nitrous oxide. It's a drug, an anesthetic, laughing gas, and they even use it for... what was it... welding and fuel, right?
You can easily categorize cannabis as an industrial crop (paper, rope), a drug (given the THC is psychoactive, no matter how you spin it), an ornamental plant, or just damn weeds. In India, it’s been growing like a weed for centuries, and people smoke it without giving a single damn. Even back in the day here in the States, people were smoking it—indirectly, of course. They grew hemp for rope. You’d have crowds of workers harvesting it, and any parts they couldn't use (like the flowers 😁) would get tossed into the fire, leaving the whole family high as a kite. In some cultures, lighting up a hookah is just part of the social fabric, much like grabbing a beer here in the US. (And in those places, alcohol might be banned). It’s the same deal with coca leaves. I don't see any compelling reason why smoking weed should be treated as a criminal offense. People view weed as a gateway drug solely because of its "drug" label. If coffee were banned, they’d treat it like a gateway too. Aaaah, drugs! Panic, panic! I know plenty of people who act like total addicts but have never touched a "drug" in their lives. "Ugh, gross, it ruins your brain." Suddenly they’re seeing needles everywhere... total Rolls-Royce types... If it were legalized, they’d probably eventually realize that the path to heroin is just as wide open as a drive through downtown Chicago... whatever...

Yeah... Maybe consider why you don't trust her enough to begin with...
If anyone thinks the post above is empty of meaning, they’re mistaken. My suggestion—conveyed through nothing more than a single emoji—serves as a visual representation of that brilliant, truly ingenious, and utterly revolutionary proposal. Because, as we all know—and I'm sure you can see the logic here—a picture is worth a thousand words. 😁
