Lootequiette: Pmann's Totally Original/Unaffiliated Thread

[Orchidea73]

Lol. Anybody who reaches that status with you has to really be damn awesome. Cause you’re damed awesome.

Awwww shucks.
Thank you.

It's interesting though how we see some people. How they affect or don't affect us at all. But those same people would be perceived in a complete opposite way by other people. Not discovering hot water here, for sure. The attraction, or lack-thereof, and what causes it is a fascinating thing.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I also hate that it gives me pause to think of my daughters being taught by a guy who likes to play "Daddy".

Ugh.

I think I’d be a little more worried if it didn’t give you pause. I don’t think most “Daddies” are pervs. But the idea of it does play on some issues that would be of concern to most parents. I’d say even the littles might agree there. Maybe I’m wrong.

But I think everyone should be able to let their freak flags fly high. Nurses. Teachers. Nurses. Doctors. Nurses. Housewives. And even Australian nurses.

However, I presume the most common issue companies would have is posting during work hours.

We know each other, silly man. lol

It is. it’s been one of the most curious things to observe since I’ve been here. Fascinating is the best word.

I wonder how indicative of that this place is though. I mean, it is like a big market with plenty of "offers" and "options". But kinda is not? More of an illusion.

 

[Orchidea73]

And often the illusion is what draws us until is is revealed for the mirage that it is. Though, I know enough people who have found something real, so I can’t make an over generalization. It’s a crap shoot.

Of course there are. When I speak about illusion I don't necessarily mean to give it a negative connotation either. It's still not very clear to me how I see and what I want, or would like to have, from these kind of environment, communication and experience.

It has been a minute. Between the dead Listers and catfishy Listers, I’ve been busy (investigating, not operating).

So, with all these revelations, it makes me think… how comfortable are you with your interactions here? How quickly do you let someone into your circle of trust, heart, vagina, etc? Do you have natural walls or are you pretty open?

For me, I’m usually a pretty good judge of people. If I have hesitancy, you’re likely never getting into my vagina. But if I do trust you, I try to be pretty open. However, there are different levels. Then sometimes, I’m just dead fucking wrong.

How do you navigate your trusty little circle of friends? Do you trust first? Or do you have walls and then let people in?

My experience here shows that I either let someone in quickly or not at all. I have walls up and confidence in my first impression and rarely second guess myself.

Beyond letting someone in, I’ve fully trusted 4 Litsters. In the last year or so, that has dropped to 3. With this trusty circle of friends, I was as open as could be and trusted each unequivocally. After losing faith in one of these friends last year, I find myself pulling back - even with those I trusted the most.

I would normally blame myself for having poor judgement in getting close to this person, but it truly took me by surprise and damn near shocked me. Not that all surprises are bad but this one was and changed how I interacted going forward.

I know not on topic...but great music history here

Leave it to Pmann to desecrate one of the most cutest date scenes. lol

To be fair, if I'd seen that I would've reposted it, too

I didn’t desecrate it! He’s about to eat her ass, which is the most romantic thing a guy (or dog) can do to a girl (or bitch).

AGG was the one who mentioned tapeworms, like a deviant.

I'm pretty open on the boards, though only if the subject interests me.

It wouldn't affect me much to be outed, which is no doubt a factor. I do try to be reasonably careful for safety considerations. That subject probably deserves more worry than it gets. Living in Texas (meaning I have a gun and know how to use it) might make one a little lax.

PM? Idk. If I get to know you well, I can be forthcoming.

However, I don't PM much. And am crazy slow to warm up.

This, to me, is a little reminiscent of people being afraid of having homosexual men in teaching or coaching positions.

Because, you know, they must be pervs.

Of course, I can speak from a little perspective which not doubt colors my attitude, but, really, is it any different?

It has been a minute since I’ve posted anything here.

Today’s topic is going to make me sound like a crabby old bastard. But, I’m not old. So the topic is choice.

Today I was trying to find something to watch. I flipped through all my streaming services to find a movie… Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Peacock, Apple TV and Vivid… nothing. There was nothing I wanted to watch. Not one movie caught my eye.

My music streaming streaming services… I have access to thousands of albums. Yet, I stream the same stuff I always do.

I’ve come to realize that choice is not always the best thing. New content is created all the time. But it’s like content overload. And it’s not necessarily good. I’d rather have one good album than 10 albums with a few good songs. I’d rather see one new movie than 20 shitty remakes of movies that were already made.

How do you deal with choice? Are you a consumer of new content? Or do you go back to your favourites over and over? What makes you adopt something new? Or what makes you reject it?

 

[rubydlite]

I simply don't deal with choice. I reach for the creature comforts unless some extrovert acts like a maniac and dangles something new in front of my face.
The exception is if manage to watch something new with a cool soundtrack...then it's rabbit hole city.

 

[Mr_bogey]

I believe in both. When it comes to movies, music or TV, I'll watch or listen to something I enjoy multiple times. That said, I'm constantly seeking out new music and try watching/listening to what others like/recommend. I've learned to be skeptical of some people's recs because we clearly have different taste.
I love that streaming services have algorithms that try to pick music similar to the music you've picked. It's sent me down some rabbitholes. Sometimes, it's disappointing as the band had 1 good song or the TV show went off the rails after the first season or the movie couldn't figure out how to end but I regret none of the exploration.
There is a TV show called Rake. It's Australian and based on their culture. I laughed my ass off. I can't remember who recommended it but I'm glad I watched.

 

[Dribble]

There was a time when decisions were difficult. I would just get high and the music I needed to hear...always came to me. Now...I tend to be less explorative. But weird...what I need still comes to me even though I no longer get high.

When it comes to making choices about new content, I rely heavily on what's trending. I notice when I hear a bunch of people talking about this new show on Netflix, see a new author has several books on the New York Times Best Sellers list, or when my kids keep playing the same new song on Spotify. I don't actively seek new content, but it usually doesn't disappoint me when I find it.

See, I actively avoid anything that trends. If it is popular on social media, or with a certain kind of highly socially visable person, I tend to greatly dislike it. I am the same with critics, if they hate something, I usually love it. I admit to being pathologically contrarian, however, I just want to make up my own mind and explore my own interests, rather than follow the herd.

Possibly one of the reasons I am so 'popular'.

But if you dislike something just because it's popular, and not because you genuinely dislike it, are you really making up your own mind about it?

To clarify, I don't like things because they're popular, either. But being that I don't actively seek out new content, paying attention to what's trending is my lazy way of seeing what's new and then deciding for myself if I like it.

I have given things a try before that were well received by the public and generally tend to not like them. I never liked Sabrina on Netflix, despite it's huge popularity. I just did not enjoy the show. Same with many others. My experience has taught me that most times, my tastes will differ.

That’s because it was awful, my teen daughter enjoyed it though

maybe you’re just not a teen girl Nev?

Look at some of the best selling albums of all time.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller
The Eagles Greatest Hits
Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours

Those are popular. And they don’t get much better than that.
