- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 2 days ago:
I think a more useful way to go about this, is to suggest to OP is to connect specifics to how you can perceive of anything in the post as described being sexist.
The goal being to show just how much of a stretch it takes for anyone responding to be able to view it that way.
So how can “I’ve never worn a wet dress before” possibly be considered, by adding context before someone would respond with that.

Telling someone exactly “I’ve never given a woman an orgasm, likely due to my shockingly small penis” is a perfectly fine thing to say if that’s being honest, even if it’s not accurate. However when you choose to say it matters, there’s context for something like that to come up, anytime sex is injected into a conversation needs some kind of context before it’s acceptable, unless you are comfortable with just blind luck to provide a positive reaction.
Which can happen, but it’s rather poor chances
- Comment on How does a guy become his most confident around women? 2 days ago:
shut up and listen.
That’s pretty shitty advice honestly. Confidence in speaking to other people is vastly different to different people but know a subject or are passionate enough about it to geek out about it, confidence is manifested often inspite of other insecurities.
Fear and insecurity aren’t always the same thing, but they both seem to be at the top of situations that people lack confidence in.
Arrogance and ego often cause an over abundance of confidence.
It’s also a phrase that is a really lazy parroting of a modernist virtue signaling because it doesnt provide any real understanding of what real issue it solves or attempts to navigate.

That’s a really lousy excuse in support of enshittification.
How do you know most of users want that?
Even if most of them do, that still negatively impacts literally millions of users who don’t want that.
Most is anywhere from 50.1% to 99.9%
So what are you actually saying? Because you aren’t being very precise.
Most people want to engage in hetero sexuality, so everyone who didn’t shouldn’t get to?
That’s the same logic you are using, I highly doubt you would agree that all non hetero relations should be discarded and given a giant middle finger. If you do feel that way JFC go touch grass or whatever

Also about my own experience. Poor people pay the difference in time. Did you wait more than 20 minutes for you 20 minute ride to become palatable to pay for?

Alternately why bother leaving a message when they just ask you why you called when they do call back?
Then again I’m old enough to have had to use a rotary phone so that could be a factor in my personal experience
- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 1 week ago:
I can see that.
I did mean someone not already, not someone that doesn’t care but I will concede the point now that you pointed out the flaws
if you have more opportunities to troll, then that’s also more room for disappointment as well, I guess I was thinking in terms of intensity more than opportunities. Thanks
- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 1 week ago:
Imagine a top that isn’t math brained, giving you so much more opportunities to troll before they find out…and then when they do learn something you have been trolling them…

I clicked your link, I barely made it out of highschool so I have no idea what any of it means, but I like reading things I shouldn’t understand anyway, sometines it’s so interesting even without understanding.
So I thank you!

Should we start rewriting the comment to inform but not interfere? With a FTFY and strike through?
At least would be a fun trend to see I think
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
That’s not exclusive to redmeat though. All meat has that same basic concern, as does fruit, veggies, dairy and even herbs and spices.
Doesn’t explain the specificity of it but okay if that’s all this is it’s even weirder to me

Why beef + eyes? It’s a very specific concern so was curious what is the danger
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 weeks ago:
So only eat beef from dairy herds? And you will half your footprint? Anyone know the rough specifics (Eli5 style) of why that is?
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 weeks ago:
Seems an odd concern so I’m wondering if there’s something in unaware of?

- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 3 weeks ago:
My old FM BT transmitter that let me connect to my car had a surprising range, bout about a 100ft in every direction which as I understand it they aren’t supposed to be that strong. (Scosche brand from Best Buy)
Used to tune it to the popular country station and jam everyone around me from listening to that station, which made me happy. Couple times when there was a particularly loud or obnoxious driver…I definately didn’t blast porn hub with my stereo off in my car…
Tangent.
One of my last concerts I went to was Meshuggah
Had a great time.

I’m trying to find any kind of statistics on the number of unicorporated towns, i cant find any, can you point me in a direction? Wiki article? Texas gov site? Federal gov site?
I’m not doubting your 4k number. It got me curious as to how many unincorporated towns there are.
Since texas is approx 30mil people and largest state land wise (unless alaska is bigger?)
I dont think your 60k number holds up. I think your rough math was completely off, but you could be right. Having a hard time getting anywhere finding out those numbers.
I’m not asking you to go look, I’m just asking for a place I can start looking.
