self-experimentation

So that's what the youngsters are calling it these days, eh? Hrmph!

[wierd]

LOLOL

You are not the first one to make this connection Kagus.  When I mentioned it to one of my co-workers, she immediately thought I meant auto-erotic things too. 

LOL.  No, I dont mean the release of oxytocin from self-induced orgasm. But thanks for playing.

This is more... I dunno...

 I know what it FEELS like when I have a rush of endorphins, as I have actually taken the time to appreciate that moment and sensation under more controlled conditions-- (say, with a really good bit of food or drink that is very satisfying), and I have since learned how to just... induce it... with relaxation and directed will techniques lifted from mindfulness meditation training.

Over-indulgence dulls the effectiveness I have found though; which is why I dont do it regularly.

I learned how to do it when doing telephone technical support.

Who'd have thought that the secret to happiness lie at the helpdesk?

[TD1]

The self-helpdesk.

I guess one has to experience hell, to truly appreciate heaven...

Eh, that sounds familiar. Don't remember how or why I learned it, but I can do something similar. Takes a second to get the meditative state going but once you're there it doesn't seem so hard to give yourself a little arbitrary dopamine boost.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be able to jack off and still remain in the meditative state

[wierd]

Clearly, you havent read ANY of the tantric stuff...

GF's little sister came over with a bunch of packs of Korean instant noodles for us to try out, on account the sister being... What's the Korean version of a weeaboo?

These noodles were apparently somewhat well-known for actually having a little spice to them, which she figured we would appreciate. The one version, a "2xSpicy" flavor, is also supposedly part of some YouTube challenge? I dunno, as a millenial I try to avoid anything involving challenge. You know how it is.


I got to eat the 2xSpicy one because I complain about things not being spicy enough. I'm a bit out of practice, so it was actually noticeably spicy! The bag said it's only around 8,800 Scoville, but I guess that's enough to turn on my mouth's automated sprinkler system these days. Winter's ice and snows kinda blocked us off from the one nearby eatery that can actually do spicy food, so this was a nice change of pace.

Koreeaboo?

I dunno, I don't understand the meaning of weeaboo to begin with

[wierd]

Weeaboos are white people who try (and fail miserably) at emulating Japanese culture.

[scriver]

Yes, that I know. I mean the meaning of the word itself. Why it's "weeaboo" and not "frankenfurther".

[Kagus]

It's because somebody said weeaboo.

EXCUSE ME SIR we do not exclude non-white people from weeaboo-hood. Anyone can be a weeaboo, if their heart is pure and true and full of western ignorance.
