Back in my day when you pulled out your phone in a gay space you kept your finger over the camera or you stepped into a corner. Not everyone there was necessarily out back in those days.
Ok but for real, it was definitely the encouraged etiquette but it didnt have enough adherence to be what you did

I always heard it was wheat that domesticated us

You ever just boil some wheat then leave your leftovers in a jar too long?

Oh jeez I thought the whole calling Thatcher girl power thing was just a meme

Some polycules are a delightful collection of nice people, some are as dysfunctional as you might expect a bad relationship to get when you keep adding people, others are barely distinguishable from a cult. This seems to be that last kind

It’s also that you’re fueling their cultural influence. Cultural influence does a lot of sanitization. Look at how japanophiles often fetishize Japan rather than seeing it as a country with good and bad elements. America was particularly good at this conversion.

In both cases I think its also just that some people arent comfortable topping
- Comment on Pretty woman stepping on you 22 hours ago:
I think it’s much more that people sexually like exaggerations of what theyre into and sexual power play is a fairly common fantasy. There’s little difference between Masoch’s Venus in Furs and James’s 50 Shades series

Little other support as in it’s common to take on more phd candidates than there are resources for leading to issues like needing to fight to get lab time. At least according to some people I know who’ve been in phd programs here.

Oh it’s more dystopian than that. You can’t make rent off it. Just groceries or liquor really
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 day ago:
As an American I respect why thats the case, but when I was dead broke fuck I needed that money.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 day ago:
I used to sell plasma. I was already left wing and aware of American desperation, but that was about the bleakest shit I’ve seen. Ive been to chemo wards that are upbeat compared to it.

Oh no PhDs here are like the worst financial choice.
- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 1 day ago:
American public universities used to be free. But a lot of students protested things like racism and the Vietnam War so Ronald Reagan as governor of California and later as president worked hard to ensure that American students had to pay lest they have the time and financial freedom to exercise their rights
- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 1 day ago:
In America you usually do get paid for the PhD, you however get little other support snd the pay is bad

Makes sense. Individuals regularly get patents in America and individuals regularly get cancer in America. It’s just an asset albeit one that may have emotional value. But cancer will cost you your heirlooms here too

Yeah a 3.5m cube is 3.5^3 cubic meters. You gotta change the number the same as the unit. Honestly KL might be better than m^3 for intuitiveness
- Comment on Musk's AI firm deletes posts after chatbot praises Hitler 2 days ago:
I’ve got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.
He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.
- Comment on I can fix her 2 days ago:
Let him go. Folks all the way on bpd bullshit just leave you wrecked until you decide to stay away. Maybe he’ll get better, I’ve had respected friends and partners who did, but it ain’t worth waiting for.
- Comment on FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour 2 days ago:
Well it’s good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can’t do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 3 days ago:
I prefer AA for controllers actually. Rechargeable AAs are good these days and you can just swap them out. I actually really hate this trend of integrated batteries in things where it isnt necessary. Yeah we need new form factors of replaceable batteries, but the switch from replaceable and standardized to neither is definitely causing problems and costing us money.

I was taught that in the mid 00s. My father somehow was confused that I supported snowden

Wait there’s deaf pop culture shit on YouTube? I may need to check that out.
Also Strange has become one of my favorite youtubers highly recommended

That’s fair lol, it’s a great time but there’s a reason there’s emphasis on how you can’t un-take it. You buy the ticket you take the fucking ride lol.
- Comment on shrooms 1 week ago:
That’s fair. My experience is with lsd, where finding out is closely tied to fucking around.

For the kids looking for a good use of psychedelics, the golden rule is to start low, increase potency slowly, and if you’re ever thinking you might have a dud, give it about 1.5 the amount of time it takes to really kick in before trying a second. If the second is a dud too, enjoy a nice day of sober relaxation in the environment you’d planned on being high in, the third try may very well be what gets you. Remember, once you take it, you can’t go back and take less and time to kick in isn’t always going to be the same.

Wait, I always thought the name was mocking. Heroic as in “you think you’re superman over here”
