    People here don’t know prudence and decorum, probably because they don’t have normal relationships with their families or even people in general. And it’s not social media, it’s the people themselves. I was a (very horny) child when Facebook came out and even I wasn’t doing all of that. 🤷

      To know whether any act of prudence or decorum is a feather in one’s cap is first to answer to what end and on whose behalf.

      Examples:

      Both are often invoked in the context of potential loss to those who have the most to lose.

      Self preservation is prudent. Prudence avoids loss of face …of social standing …of strategic advantage, and so forth.

      Decorum avoids offending traditional sensibilities …protects what is sacred …retains political capital …maintains institutional legitimacy.

      So both tend to be elevated as lofty virtues by those with power and authority to lose.

      Anyway I used to think similarly. What disabused me of my regard for such ideals was living among those who prudence and decorum never served.

    I don’t see the issue. Her grandma is being loving and supportive, and it’s not like grandma doesn’t know what sex is.

    Hot take, Google+ was onto something with their “circles” thing. Basically you could choose the visibility of every post and comment you made to be limited to a subset of your contacts

      The core issue with Google+ wasn’t the platform, it was that Giogle started becoming a spyware comany and rewuired real IDs and forced thst shit on everyone.

        Corporate social media is always destined to enshittification and being a tool of surveillance capitalism, being Google’s just speedran it.

      Facebook also allows this to an extent. Or at least it did 5 years ago when I last used facebook. You did have to manually choose who could see the post everytime though. Not nearly as convenient.

        Yeah It’d take forever to click “All like-minded hoes in the world EXCEPT family members”

      Google+ started well enough, but when only google using nerds were the only ones using it using it( as it was designed by those people), they decided to make it worse and force it on everyone.

      I don’t recall, wasn’t google+ the new product to come out of orkut? Or was orkut bought out by google when google+ didn’t “perform as expected”

    If you’re doing bendy sex positions and your partner farts and you can’t both have a laugh about it and continue with the bendy sex then your relationship needs an upgrade.

      What is the point of this reply? Lol everyone takes shits too but I don’t want my grandma to hear all about a nasty smelling pure liquid shit I took the day before yesterday or something… Just because everyone does something doesn’t mean you want everyone to know all about it…

        I take pictures to send weekly and she comments on how well it looks like I’ve been eating; it’s really helped us stay in touch.

      Sure. But to an extent. I am definitely glad I didn’t grow up in a single room house on the prairie falling asleep with my parents making my younger siblings on the bed next to me.

      Granny just doesn’t approve of farting during sex… cause she’s a puritan prude and never experienced that level of relief
