- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 1 week ago:
If you are asking it trying to get a sense of how other people view that age, you might want to assist with who are the people around you that are in the same age bracket and think about each of them when they are with you. How’s do they act, so they do anything childish. Do they seem different from how they were 4 years ago
I think you are a young person at that age. I’m 20 years older than you.
When i was your age, 911 happened. The world did not feel nearly as complex as your first 5 years as an adult have been.
How old you feel can change on a lot of things but man you have had to deal with a lot in those last few years and today is a bigger wtf Than the last 4 years, even before that COVID you had to deal with the first Trump administration (assuming you are in America) so where have you got to live with the I’m a young adult starting out in the world mindset? It has felt like one looming that after another.
Unless you are one of those that have been able to turn your brain off and not pay attention to the world around you, i have great sympathy for young adults like you. I think you are going to be the generation that defines the future, it might take another 30 years but you and others your age are going to have some strong opinions when you get into positions of leadership and i think it will be great for everyone when you get there.
You feel old, but i promise you that you aren’t old, that’s just exhaustion from life and maybe it’s the way generations are getting shorter.
Tech is where the world has been since the dot.com bubble and it reshaped the world. You were born at the beginning of a line of demarcation in history. I was born in in the pocket before that where the people that taught me didn’t grow up in a world that looks like today.
The Internet in your pocket is a new era and you are going to be one of the people that defines what modern humans are.
Products of an environment that changes every 6 months.
You are probably starting to see the world looking at people younger than you in a way you have never felt before, the bandits of DOGE are younger than you.
The highest paid athletes are starting to be younger than you
You are cruising through a threshold that might be hard to grasp.
But you are not old.
Not to me or many other people
If it bothers you know that how old someone comes across as really isn’t related to your physical age.
You can continue to think of yourself as a young woman for a while yet, but you still likely never stop feeling younger than your actual age. I know people 15 years older than me that act younger than i feel.
Not all, but a big enough number of women have told me 26 is when they stopped feeling like a kid, but many people have a concern with not being in their 20s, it really doesn’t mean much i promise you that you can feel great about your age no matter what it is and that the challenges in life that you need to solve for, and the solutions you need to use, are what make us feel younger or older than you are

Sybian doesn’t do everything it could do i didn’t to call it the ultimate. I wanted to show for what comes next. Maybe I’m doing and there isn’t, but a sybian that can view your reactions and learn each users unique preferences would be an improvement
A sybian as the hips of a sex robot maybe? Like its fine, but its just a box , you get on to get off and then it is done with you. Theres no after care or anything else.
I guess a portable discreet version will require entirely new components that we probably cant manufacture yet, or are cost prohibited.
I dunno what the ultimate is, so penultimate seems a good choice to use if i can see improvements to it that dont yet exist
- Comment on What is your favorite retro racing game? 1 week ago:
That’s kid icarus and al uncer jrs racing for me.
I remember my grandmother playing those games with us and she was exactly the person who would gesture with her hands as she was trying to play the game. Why the character turned out jumped, her hands would do the same thing, she fling the controller out of her hands at least once that i remember trying to jump to a new platform in kids Icarus
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
It wasn’t well received because of the changes Spielberg finishing it had on the project.
There’s like 3 or 4 points where the movie should never ended but Spielberg doesn’t do those types of movies
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
Probably a group of engineers so maybe not all men, Sybian is just like the penultimate vibrator, would be a fun engineering challenge, but it’s also a marketable challenge which would be why it exists
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
I’m surprised i haven’t seen anyone talk about another movie, AI
One of the main characters is Gigolo Joe played by judge law
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
That’s exactly the wrong take.
Provide something that isn’t what they need in order to fill a need they have.
That’s like giving someone drugs instead to masque symptoms of working in the problem and addressing it.
But that’s not right either. If providing sexual encounters was real and done appropriately then there this situation might still exists. If it’s the physical space and intimacy that are triggering, then a robot is a very good choice if it provides some of the missing human experiences that missing out on when desired make for more broken people
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
And if that Sybian could pick you up, and stroke your thighs, massage your breasts, have hips and legs to simulate the sexual positions that it can’t provide you, while still being what it is, there is a huge room for improvement on the design of the sybian and what great things it does

You need the right playground, and too many of them are become market places
- Comment on GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale 2 weeks ago:
Clearly there needs to be a market place that works better than filling up other socials. It would take very progressive movement to pull sex work out of dark places where sketchy people go and just give a place that sellers and buyers can find and connect easily, safely and that prevents users and abusers from corrupting it.
that won’t happen as long as it’s seen as something unholy, sinful, bad, shameful.
But that’s a much harder sell in an environment where orange clown has as much support and unbridled hate for humanity itself
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 2 weeks ago:
Well there’s people that followed apple maps into lakes and other things so the precedent is there already(I have no doubt it also existed before that)
You would need to heavily regulate it and thats not happening anytime soon if ever

I did. Though it was a little rushed the last book, i like it when things are drawn out more, I’m used to 800 plus page novels so that’s probably just me

I’m the Dragon Lance novels Kitiara is character that has bonded with an adult blue dragon calles Sky i think.
You two areguing makes me think you are about bond with each other, as kitiara didnt start out as one of rhe bad guys but ended up being a major person in the evil army
Just a coincidence in your names but amusing to me for the coincidence of it

- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 3 weeks ago:
In did keto for a while and also started strength training.
I did really well and went from about 270 to 184. I’ve since gone back up because i stopped everything sure to reasons.
I’m not here to recommend keto though. (Not against it but damn is it expensive!)
Why i bring it up is that i had to look at the nutrition label on everything
Doing that for more than a year really helped me notice how many calories are in things, and that theres can be surprising differences between different brands of the same thing.
Some beef jerky could be 2 or 3 times the calorie counts of others just because of extra ingredients(it’s almost always extra sugar) even when its the same serving size/package
Just start looking at the options you are considering purchasing and you can make better choices without even using a calculator, you learn then which brands of which things are better for you and that will help without even chasing what you are eating.
Kind of a nice nice way to ease into changing your diet if you don’t actually start with changing the things you eat, just the versions of them

Heh. My brother’s and i have beat it.
It wasn’t so much unfinished as they decided the problems with that particular level were worth keeping as it was. Classic it’s not a big it’s a feature. They decided it was acceptable and added to the game even if it was not intended by design

Whoa whoa whoa, i didn’t say no kids just the good ones that can do the work of all the ones not needed. And no we didn’t pay them more, less actually, since we have to re coup the cost of the new hardware. Didn’t talk crazy talk

I dont have an answer other than vet with an authority you trust (be it wikipedia, a teacher a friend, a parent)
But this is not a stupid question. Its probably the most important question when making a decision in this modern techno era to have an answer for yourself
