I'm not gonna pretend like it is, but I think it leads to new people feeling excluded, which leads to situations like these.

the problem is that the group in question has little to do with blockland beyond some of the group having it, a lotta people in the group know each other irl

its just sorta awkward to invite blocklanders who aren't already familiar because they just don't fit in

secretive friend group of popular kids.

You idiots keep saying 'secretive group' like it's a a bad thing when you'd be the first forgeters to complain if we shared inside jokes and memes all the time

Give me a reason why having a group of friends that isn't completely open and public is a bad thing

Because every now and then everyone chimes in with unhealthy advice on a quick fix to your life and people eat it up because they're a bunch of impressionable kids with social issues who Don't Know Better™

No-fap just happens to be the one thing that has common ground among everyone. If somebody was really convincing that wearing white socks was unhealthy, you bet your ass /r/No-Socks will crop up in no time.

Another point. I assume OP still isn't employed, so the thing with procrastination is that it's the ultimate instant gratification action. People tend to masturbate often when they have nothing else to do, so the original 'nofap' point was to get people motivated to spend their time doing healthier, more wholesome activites because it was obvious that people were just doing absolutely nothing.

Now, no-fap has become a sort of cargo cult for dorkazoids who think that not masturbating gives them super social powers because testosterone levels or some bullstuff. This isn't how it works, I'm afraid.

I trust personal anectodes from thousands of people proving that their lives have changed more than someone who would call it a placebo than think about it.

Since I was 9 years old, I spent most of my day masturbating and I’m willing to try anything that will make me be able to get excited over a real naked woman in front of me.

You're trusting personal anecdotes from people like you who are more keen on blaming their issues on things like procrastination because it's easier than facing the music and actually putting the work in to make positive changes in your life. Your life isn't going to get better because you stopped fapping, because the problems with your life that led to you masturbating too much still persist. Focus on what causes you to have too much free time and not enough to keep yourself busy with before you start trying to avoid anything that gives you pleasures because it's making you numb or whatever koolaid stuff reddit is feeding you.

Any positive changes you think are being brought on through not masturbating are a placebo effect, you're not improving your life because you stopped whacking your meat, you're just getting an endorphin high because a bunch of handicaps on the internet that have also deluded themselves into thinking procrastination is ruining their life have convinced you that you're doing yourself a favor.

Take up a hobby, focus on maintaining healthier habits, drink more water and exercise. Don't waste your back-patting on going cold turkey with procrastination. Believe it or not, you whacking off constantly is a symptom of you being bored and having too much time, not because you're addicted to it.

I think you completely misunderstood what I was trying to say: You were basically comparing processed foods and concrete, glass, etc to not being natural, but they came from natural resources and are able to effectively "adapt" to our needs

Literally everything comes from natural resources, unless they're imported from off-world, this point means absolutely nothing. On a fundamental level, everything is just natural elements, but if you used this as a serious debating point, everyone will laugh at you. I'm saying the average western lifestyle is in no way relatable to what human nature is, and that to argue that genital mutilation isn't in our human nature is completely irrelevant to the purpose.

There are many things in our lives more farther removed from what you ideally hold human nature to be that are way more innocent than circumcision, even though by your logic, they aren't good because they're so far removed from human nature. Your point here makes no sense.

but you were born with a richard/vagina and it serves a purpose other than pleasure

We're also born with tonsils and appendixes that until fairly recently in medical history were considered useless organs that could be removed inconsequentially, and the verdict on both were reached not because the removal of said organs wasn't natural, but because it wasn't necessary and sometimes harmful. We're not going to prevent circumcision from being performed by arguing that it isn't natural, and trying to preach this point is going to actively discredit any serious debate on genital mutilation.

concrete, motors, computers, and even processed foods all come from the earth in an original natural form before being "converted" into those things. its like saying "glass isn't natural" even though we use sand to make it. we are born with whatever gentile that our DNA decides matches best with the rest of our geno-structure. This is how nature works, so I find it to be a pretty valid argument. "Survival of the fittest" or also known as darwinism is also a thing. Just look at how fish adapt to an aquarium...."evolution" might not be quite as accurate a term, as "adaptability" though.

This is the most roundabout loving way I've ever seen somebody try their hardest to be right about something. Appealing to nature doesn't win people over unless they already have the same lame train of thought like you.

Technically, vaccinations and inoculations are derived from natural ingredients. The only reason you don't trust them is because of an entirely different fallacy. In a way here, you're being a hypocrite in your beliefs.

Well, the bible also says that you should circumcise your kids (according to the old testament) so I would imagine a lot of supposed "bible thumpers" or "religious freaks" took the old testament more serious than they should have and thought it was necessary because "the bible says so" without actually understanding the specifics of the text which do not apply to the new testament. I never heard about the kelloggs campaign, that is a little bit disturbing though. I agree with your last statement, but wouldn't you consider doing unneeded bodily harm to an infant basically "against nature" anyways? much as you would any matter of an unmoral act like setting fire to a nice forest

my son in not circumcised, I figured when he gets to the age where he wants to start making his own decisions, he can decide for himself whether he wants to have it done or not

The point is that nature is an irrelevant point that means nothing to anyone of authority on the topic of genital mutilation, therefore it's a point that should not need expanded upon since the fundamental reasoning behind the appealing to nature is flawed.

There's better reasons to argue against circumcision and your argument actively discredits them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm completely against genital mutilation, but appealing to nature is honestly the worst argument you could make. We live in concrete cities, wear linens and cloths, eat heavily processed foods, commute in internal combustion machines and communicate over long ranges on interconnected networks through our computers. What's natural isn't a good point anymore.

The very well known reason behind why circumcision is popular in the US is because of Kellogg's anti-procrastination campaign and your leftover puritan ideals from the old world. It ended up catching on because a large majority of people got the idea from hairbrained madmen that circumcision makes the snake 'cleaner' somehow. The best argument against circumcision is that it's an entirely useless operation on a sensitive organ that causes trauma for babies it's performed on, not that it isn't "Human nature"

I think it's against human nature to cut off your richard for ANY reason unless that stuff has the worst form of cancer and it's your only hope of survival

do u think it's human nature to complain on a lego forum?
