this doesn't demonstrate anything about any particular underlying phenomenon but if you're just gonna be like, "no nothing like that is real because i am a big strong man who can make myself do whatever i want", sorry, my anecdote > your ego defense

i remember reading a study once that observed that people were less capable of resisting having a slice a cake after they finished a series of complex calculus, suggested there was indeed a limited, shared pool of resources for these things

iirc that's what the ego depletion studies were trying to show – but they haven't done too well in the replication crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion#Reproducibility_controversy_and_conflicting_meta_analyses … it's something that feels like it should be intuitively true, though, so maybe we just haven't figured out how to measure it well

Someone should do a study of what a shitty annoying date does to one's executive function. I want to know if it explains a lot of bad sex.

Replying to @jenphalian @chaosprime and
ok I had never considered the possibility of deliberately sabotaging a date to make it more likely that their will to live will be so depleted that they'll want to sleep with me, but it's just crazy enough to work

Is this like negging but causing suicidal ideation instead

it's a solid argument for affirmative consent, because it's hardly going to make you want to say yes, but it could definitely make it seem like too much work to say no

Replying to @chaosprime @sm0b0t and
no is going to be an hour long discussion but "okay fine I guess" means escaping the date in like, 10 minutes. Affirmative consent is so great.
