What the actual fuck.

CNC as a kink is fine, but to be done healthily requires really solid negotiation skills by all parties. Ain't no way in hell you can implicitly consent just by going to a party. Even the most edgey edge-player (someone who does risky bdsm play) I know would nope the fuck out of that.

Fucking awful.

I really hate the things that human beings are capable of.

We can be so much better.... but instead we get depraved, morally bankrupt, power hungry pieces of literal trash doing this sort of shit in what seems like every industry.

Yeah me too. But how do I get an invite?

Nice try my friend. You have a good day now.

I was going to make a "Disgusting! Where?" joke, but then I read the article... That's heinous

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago

CNC can be done ethically, but it requires very careful negotiations and setup. I've heard of CNC orgies with mandatory classes for everyone. If I had a partner who wanted it, that level of setup is about the only way I'd agree.

Doesn't sound like they're doing anything close to that.

Yeah I was about to make a joke but then I saw the byline and... :/. This is fucked up.

I've been wanting to do LSD again and now I at least know who to ask where to get some: tech bros.

Alternatively, grow your own shrooms

Shrooms just make me feel super drunk. 😟

Shambala is best place to trip 😜

I do my trips at shankara festival.

I don't know what's more fucked up. The fact that this kinda stuff is happening or the fact that I wasn't really surprised at all.
