same. i've been aware of the whole "helping yourself before you help others" thing forever because that's a pretty commonly-known thing but i was today years old when i learned there is an idiom associated with it.

To be fair, "physician, heal thyself" isn't quite analogous to "put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others." Their denotative meanings are very similar, but the connotation of "physician, heal thyself" is more along the lines of "get your own shit handled before you think you can go telling others what they should do," or, more broadly, "mind your own business." It's not supportive advice about the importance of self-care.

i still dont really see how "this wank is boring and the subject probably doesnt deserve to be wanked on so fuck off" is not minding your own business when someone else is trying to loop you into boring gossip and making it your business

The fact that anybody thinks "small dick" is an insult is hilarious to me. I fuck. That's all that matters. I'm smart enough to get a woman to take me home. I don't accept blowjobs. I don't give head. We get right down to it. Having a small dick and finishing fast hasn't held me back whatsoever. The goal isn't to her a good time. The goal is to get my nut. So go ahead, and make fun of my "small dick". I guarantee I fuck more than some guys with "big dicks" I fucked twice this month already. Busted within a minute both times. Haven't spoken to either woman since. If I can manage to get hard, I'll fuck. If I can't, I'll find a way to make the girl feel like it's her fault. I'm good at this shit I like my life the way it is. I don't need a big penis to satisfy me. I'm already satisfied.

I wonder if that anon misread "whatever nobody they're wanking on probably doesn't deserve it" to mean "whatever; anybody they're wanking on probably deserves it"

in that instance I'm pretty sure they were calling anon out for getting angry about people getting angry
