    I have a friend who has quit porn entirely because he has felt addicted to it in the past and the only way he feels he can quit is to quit cold-turkey. I think it’s possible to have an unhealthy relationship to porn and to develop a more healthy relationship to it without quitting entirely; he feels like that’s not possible for him. Do you feel like it’s possible for you to have a healthy relationship to porn at all?

    I also wonder if pornography use is something you talk to your friends about at all. It’s something that for many years was almost impossible for me to talk about because I felt so much shame around it. Do you relate to that?

    shit - adjective, bad

    the shit - noun, good

    .

    you are shit - shit is an adjective, you are bad

    you ain’t shit - shit still functions as an adjective, in some contexts this might be a good thing, but the phrase “you ain’t ____” most often is used to say the person doesn’t reach the level of the blank. For example “you ain’t all that” means you think/act like you are “all that” but you’re not at the level of “all that” you’re less than all that. If you “ain’t shit” it means you’re so bad that you’re less than shit, you dont even reach the level of shit with how bad you are. This is a devestating insult.

    you are not the shit - the shit is a noun, its good, so not being the shit is insulting

    you are the shit - the shit is a noun meaning good so this is a complement
