Angela M. Schöpke Gonzalez is a dance theater artist, writer, computational scientist, and curator. Her work draws inspiration from deep investigations of history, body, and infrastructural systems like policy and algorithms. Her current projects investigate how to address traumatization associated with the emotional labor of digital content moderation work, the consequences of technologized international borders on migrating human bodies, how to make space for the body’s knowledge in academic and economic spaces which tend to value text, and emotional uncertainty with her forthcoming dance film Skeleton and Me. She is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Michigan School of Information.

Why do you have to include the part where you think you own the vaginas of the women of your country
It makes your post sound more like you're mad some other guys have a rape pass, rather than mad about the illegal immigrants taking jobs and taxes and houses.

We used to sing "Stacy's Mom" but replace Stacy with the name of the kid we were picking on. Stacy never rhymes with anything in the song and so long as you can make the name two syllables it works.

This is like actually so embarrassing to post but I genuinely have no clue what to do LOL, thanks internet for the anonymity you bless me with.

I (20M) have been in a relationship with my very wonderful girlfriend Nana (21F) for a couple years, we were really close as kids and started dating around freshman year of highschool. If you asked either of us about any aspect of our relationship, we'd tell you how it's all absolutely perfect.

That is, except for our intimate life. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but dear god it feels absolutely frustrating sometimes, Nana keeps wanting to experiment but it gets really annoying on my end at times.

Recently, she decided she wanted for us to try and switch roles, or in simpler terms, straight up peg me (Oh god I hate admitting this.), usually I'd give and she'd receive, but she wanted to experiment differently. We did the deed and I personally enjoyed myself a lot, and I thought she did too.

A few days pass and she gradually distances herself and doesn't even kiss or hug me, so I decided to sit her down and talk. It was going well until she said "Are you gay?? You shouldn't have enjoyed our intimacy that much." Safe to say I was absolutely baffled, I tried to elaborate the fact that I'm attracted to her and only her. And don't get me wrong, I'm not homophobic, but WHAT?

She immediately told me to hush and that we need a break so she can rethink some stuff, I tried to again explain myself, but she just totally broke down and I just decided to leave it at that. It's been a week now and I'm worried about her and worried I fucked up.

So, reddit! I've come forward with my deepest darkest secrets and want to know, am I an asshole for literally just enjoying what my own girlfriend suggested?

Edit: To all the morons telling me I was emasculated for letting her peg me, I think you really just need to be focusing on whether or not you'll actually have hair in your early 30s, lol. You would HATE me in person.

Secondly, we are not westerners or in the west. She especially comes from a pretty religious family though.

As for a slight update, which I might make an entirely different post explaining details I can't fit here, she already told my friend. My friend said something along the lines of Nana wanting to test and see if I was the right one, and.. confirm if I was gay or trans? And that his solidified it? I'd be damned if I said I genuinely understood the logic behind this. We've literally been dating since I was 14 and she was 15. Our relationship has been a bit rocky but she never explained why, and I'm an extremely cautious person. There goes any thoughts of marrying her I guess.. Damn.
Just a small taste to entice you:

Hair plugs, transplants, cope-hats and just shaving that shit off are options. All of those sound preferable to anal reconstructive surgery.

Yeah, closeted nu-male faggots are pretty obnoxious in person so this is something the OP is right about.

The single best thing about Reddit is to imagine that every single OP is a troll and every single reply is genuine. Makes the website even funnier.

The Korean is apparently a body positivity model (aka FAT) and was on the cover of Vogue once.

I'm pretty sure he's a internet janny as he present a paper about how to "Inducing Friction to reduce moderator workload of handling user appeals"

Screenshot_20241204_210226-1.jpeg

Abstract​


As content moderation becomes a central aspect of all social media platforms and online communities, interest has grown in how to make moderation decisions contestable. On social media platforms where individual communities moderate their own activities, the responsibility to address user appeals falls on volunteers from within the community. While there is a growing body of work devoted to understanding and supporting the volunteer moderators' workload, little is known about their practice of handling user appeals. Through a collaborative and iterative design process with Reddit moderators, we found that moderators spend considerable effort investigating user ban appeals and desire to directly engage with users and retain their agency over each decision. To fulfill their needs, we designed and built AppealMod, a system that induces friction in the appeals process by asking users to provide additional information before their appeals are reviewed by human moderators. In addition to giving moderators more information, we expected the friction in the appeal process would lead to a selection effect among users, with many insincere and toxic appeals being abandoned before getting any attention from human moderators. To evaluate our system, we conducted a randomized field experiment in a Reddit community of over 29 million users that lasted for four months. As a result of the selection effect, moderators viewed only 30% of initial appeals and less than 10% of the toxically worded appeals; yet they granted roughly the same number of appeals when compared with the control group. Overall, our system is effective at reducing moderator workload and minimizing their exposure to toxic content while honoring their preference for direct engagement and agency in appeals.

All of this no doubt government funded. I hope the next administration has them all destitute and deported.
