From the Escalator:

#2 -Au revoir le grenouille

I had a lot of frogs and toads growing up in my area when I was a kid. I might have been about 8-12, I don't really remember the exact age. What I do remember however is the offerings I made, I tossed a couple of frogs in different anthills to study their reactions. Don't really know what what outcome I expected but it surprised me that the frogs didn't jump away. They just stayed there, in the middle of the pile till they eased moving..

Dude, that's fucked up. This sounds borderline psychotic.
 
I can understand what this man was going through.

I can also confidently say I'd never fall to such depths.

About a year and a half ago i had just broken up with my first "serious" girlfriend of about 8 months. it was a traumatic very sad experience for me, we both met at college the first day and were both young and hopeful. It didn't work for a few reasons and at the time i was very sad, much like the usual gaf person who breaks up and has to post a thread about how they don't how they can deal. I wasn't that bad but i was quite emotional admittedly.

We were both Christians and we had talked about saving sex for marriage yadayada. Towards the end she had been saying she wanted it. I wanted it too but i didn't want her to do anything she would regret later. That being said this girl was and still is one of the hottest women i've seen. Originally from africa with smooth black skin, beautiful dreads, and an infectious smile with a french accent that would make your knees weak. When we broke up i immediately regretted not doing it with her.

Anyways after breaking up i was naturally on the prowl for some sex. So i got on the usual location based services and found a decent girl. Now first warning sign, she lived across the river in the incredibly redneck/ghetto part of town. Like their's no street lights on this side of the tracks and dudes will straight jack your shit. Second warning sign, she said she had a kid that her parents didn't want to keep. Alright whatever, i just want some honestly. Whatever the cost.

It's about a good 30 minutes of a drive to her place from mine. At this point I'm driving over there, mad about not doing it with my gf and just wanting to feel alive basically. Nothing can stop me. Except just as I'm cresting the hill my freaking car breaks down. Literally about 5 minutes away from this girls house. I'm able to coast the car into a drug store parking lot that says they tow after an hour. I call and ask if she can pick me up but her brothers out. At this point i feel like God's trying to stop me from doing this, and save me from myself a bit.

Fuck that. I start walking/running the last 3-5 miles across a bridge into dark territory for my prize. As i'm running I'm cursing God under my breath for breaking my car. I'm panting and trucking it until i come to the most ghetto apartment complex, where her building is at the very back. As i'm coming up the stairs i text her I'm here and she has one of those shitty gas station big gulp cups filled with water.

Immediately i see she's much heavier and unattractive in person, but whatever i can deal. I walk into the apartment and the stench of cigarettes hit me immediately. I look down and around and all i see is cigarette butts and dark stains on the carpet, where their isn't massive clumps of dog hair. Empty whiskey bottles and pizza boxes are thoughtfully piled in a corner where the smells have blended together into a sweet stench. There's a haze of cigarette smoke, and to my horror baby toys and the crappiest fisher price play pen on the ground. I look into her zit lined face and at her rotting, brown teeth and basically this is hell for me. Not wanting to be impolite we go back to her room where a single twin mattress, stained to hell lies. Her dog follows us into her room and keeps trying to lick my face as she helps herself to a smoke.

"Do you want one too? Dip? E-cig?" I'm shocked at this point and just mutter something about maybe leaving soon. She then explains how we can hang out in her room but her mom and dad are coming over for God knows why. I can stay, but her dad tends to get drunk and physical with her family. But they won't mind us doing things once he gets a drink. Having learned my lesson at this point i simply say i left something in my car. "You left your car back across the river!" she yells as i burst out her room and out the door full speed, trying to escape my worst nightmare, not knowing if the redneck stick up squad is on their way to get the glorious prize of 10 dollars from my middle class wallet.

With the stress of everything i break out crying and while sobbing call my friend to come pick me up. He's from Vietnam, doesn't know much English and not the most social kid, so my secret is safe with him. That was probably the lowest point in my life however, and i hated that i didn't just get drunk in my room like a normal person.

I later did get with my ex-gf. It was nice, but not the same as if we would have been together. To those who would shit on the premise that God would set me up to this that's not exactly what I'm saying. What i will say is you should take precautions meeting people online. It was a low point but I'm glad I'm here now and have better ways to deal with my pain instead of just trying to get some.

To all virgins and men waiting until marriage out there, let this be a lesson:

Never. Settle.
 
Bruh, like, why would you do that to frogs? Straight up serial killer shit.

I mean.... Did you find her hot before she was legal? Context matters bro.

That is.... Pretty rough. Meeting people online can be rough. Believe it or not, my first sexual experience was with somebody I met online and she wasn't ugly! Maybe I just got lucky, who knows lol. I haven't tried online dating since then shrugs

I'll submit an alternate theory for confessor – as you've been watching porn the entire time you've been with your girlfriend and have no frame of reference for how you'd be with her without the porn, it might not be the porn. It might just be that she just doesn't do it for you sexually, or you don't have that emotional connection to feel comfortable with her. I'm not saying you aren't overindulging with your porn viewing – it's obvious it's affecting your life and is probably affecting several facets of your relationship with your girlfriend – but why you aren't getting hard with the girlfriend may be a mostly separate issue.

How would he know unless he stops watching porn? He should definitely stop watching porn. If he can't, then seek help. It's very possible that the gf doesn't do it for him, but could also be PIED. Only one way to find out, stop watching porn.

Also, I'm not against porn, but it should be consumed in moderation.
 
I asked out one of my closest friends and she said no ;~;

I am highly concerned that I will not find anyone who likes me until I switch to a larger University and have more people my age around, which will not be until nearly a year from now. The loneliness of being single over the course of this whole year has been driving me insane.
 
Frogman, you're weird and cruel. But to be fair when I was a kid I did the same with worms so I must be a bit weird too. (My argument would be that worms are insects not animals so I don't feel as bad)

Tinder religious guy, that was some dedication to go for your first lay, but you'd have regretted it more if you'd gone through with it.

Insects are animals. Being cruel to one is no different from being cruel to a dog, in theory.

Depends on whether they feel pain. Dogs obviously feel pain, bacteria don't. There's a line somewhere, though where isn't clear. Earthworms exhibit some properties that would indicate feeling pain, but "thereof argue the scholars" as we say in Swedish.

As for sociopathic tendencies, I would argue what matters is the perpetrator's perception of whether the animal feels pain.

But they are the lowest class of animals. There's a hierarchy, and insects are on the bottom. So being cruel to a dog is different then being cruel to an insect.

Hence why said in theory, I knew others wouldn't agree with that point of view.

Well, I don't like/agree with this point of view at all.

At any rate, my initial point was that insects, arachnids and other groups of living beings are, well, animals.
 
I'm not saying it's right, but there is a line somewhere, you'd swat a fly or stamp on an ant, but a frog is just kind of "more cruel" for whatever reason.

...what? Is there some kind of objective scientific/philosophical explanation of this hierarchy available somewhere or are you just making stuff up?
 
F insects. I know they're useful for the ecosystem, but I have no qualms with insect genocide. Especially %*&/ cockroaches #(@3*GP?{]&!!!!!

I'd still find it weird/bothersome if someone was trying to torture them, but wouldn't bat an eyelid at someone outright killing them

Arguably, insects are some of the most important creatures on the planet lol

But bugs are gross and icky, so obviously they're the lowest life forms on the planet. Except crustaceans, because they're tasty. /s

I mean in terms of neural complexity insects are clearly a less sophisticated form of life, so I guess you could argue from that point of view.
 
Torturing an insect is absolutely not the same thing as torturing a dog, insects don't even have a brain as you would typically think of it (they have two pair of neural ganglia above and below their esophagus. You can decapitate many insects and they'll continue to truck along until they die of starvation of dehydration). There's no hierarchy ranking forms of life, but there are definitely different ethical guidelines. No one's going to come to your lab running experiments on D. melanogaster and C. elegans, the Animal Welfare Act doesn't cover birds or rodents (but they're moving towards adding it), and experimentation on chimpanzees is incredibly limited.

But even if there was such a hierarchy, insects still wouldn't be the "lowest form of life." There are plenty of animals with even less complex neurological systems.

As a collective, insects are amazing architects and farmers.

I think it's hard to really compare insect intelligence to other creatures because insect's brains just work so differently. An individual member of a hive is meaningless, but as a massive swarm, their true intelligence becomes apparent.

As a bird lover, this is a tragedy. Birds are the smartest pets you can own
 
The entire concept of an animal hierarchy is literally just "more like people = less okay to hurt" and "less like people = more okay to hurt." A chimp? Oh man, he looks like a person, better not hurt him. A bird? Eh, kinda like a person, it's a little okay if you need to. Ants? Nah, not like people at all, do whatever the fuck you want to 'em.

SUCH an antiquated, anthropocentric point of view. I'm happy with how far we've developed objectivity on the subject over the past ~200 odd years, though. In the 1800s "human, but kinda different looking" was okay to buy and sell and torture. Now we're at the point where all mammals are unacceptable, birds and reptiles and amphibians are mostly off the table. I'd bet by 2200 swatting a fly will be considered just as heinous as frog-torturer up there.

I mean, in 1915 no one would have batted an eyelash at him. Frogs were mindless pests, like cockroaches, until fairly recently.

The way it was worded is weird, but there is a substantial difference between torturing a dog and torturing an insect. I would happily stamp on an ant to kill it if it was bugging me, but there is no way I could harm, let alone kill, an animal such as a dog or cat. To think otherwise is barbaric.

I guess he feels guilty about being attracted to his friend's niece and/or maybe there is a big age gap, dunno.

Yeah, cut that out. You have a girlfriend, you don't need porn. Try limiting yourself to watch and masturbate less and less everyday in a gradual way. If you aren't able to do so, then talk with your girlfriend and look for a therapist.

Does not seem to be all that many confessions this year. How many left under 30?

Nah, I think it's because NTGYK (geez, even the acronym is long as fuck XD) is spreading them more this time. I'm sure he still has a lot in his mailbox. I hope he is saving the juicy ones for the last days, though, or this year is going to be a bit disappointing compared with last year.

Hell yeah! Bugs rock! They keep the planet running and are a logical source of protein but people can't get over the ick factor.

That's an interesting way of looking at it; but the stuff other people were saying about swarms and hives makes it more complicated. Also, who's top of the nural complexity chart? Is it us?

I always think it's really mean to step on ants just cus they're annoying, though. I just leave em be. Sometimes I squish them by mistake cus they're so little but I never mean to.
 
I actually prefer the horrifying ordeals, petty teenage crap and scumbag confessions to sex stories. You can find lurid sex stories everywhere and they don't really make you feel anything. Sex is something that most of us have in common; throwing your friend under the bus to save your job is not. I want to be disgusted!

Embarrassing stories of sexual encounters gone wrong are fine though
