I had a discussion with a friend recently and during that discussion, one comment was “Fitted sheets are really both the best and the worst”, of course referencing them as awesome when put on a mattress and the worst when you’re trying to fold them.

What else do we have that would qualify for being awesome, but also the worst in a different context?

    Phones.

    Banking apps, podcasts, gps navigation, chatting to friends, listening to music are all awesome.

    But then getting stuck doomscrolling and constantly checking my phone trying to eke out a little more stimulation when literally anything else would be a more productive way to spend my day - that part sucks ass.

    So…sex on an SSRI.

    Pro: I can effortlessly last over an hour. Basically edging without trying.

    Con: It’s simply impossible to finish sometimes and I just have to say it was good enough and stop. Or the mix of chemicals in my brain just don’t let me start for whatever reason. The times I can finish, I have to take over and go extra intense on myself to peak the mountain. If my partner tries, they can’t get me there.

    Pooping: one the one hand it feels pretty great. The sensation itself is nice as well as the relief. On the other hand, now you’ve got poop on your butthole that’s got to go.

      Interesting, would you mind elaborating a bit? What do you see as the good parts? What do you see as the bad parts?

        When you’re hungry food is delicious and if it’s hard to get at your body won’t let up about it.

        But, when you eat ordinary food it complains about a lack of quality or taste.

        And then when you eat great food it stops talking about the sensation after a single dish. (There’s some professional point taste reaches where it’s too long and it just stops being great).

        Heckin long drama story!
