  Just FYI after the 5th one I’m just cumming air at that point, but if there are 2,430 women out there who want to give it a try anyway be my guest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restroom Location⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never had any encounters with shit on the streets of SF. Now granted, I haven’t worked in the city in almost a decade, but this reputation it seems to have is nothing new.

  I think if SF business owners weren’t so fuckin’ stingy about people using their restrooms then the people who can’t afford to buy something at the grossly inflated SF prices just for the privilege of accessing a sanitary place to relieve themselves in privacy that the rest of us take for granted each day would be a lot less likely to shit or piss on the streets.

  I remember waiting for the train after a night of particularly heavy drinking, and it was a 20+ minute wait for the next BART train, and I was already doing the pee dance on the platform. I knew I wasn’t going to make it to the south bay before my bladder exploded. Station restrooms were already locked (even though trains were still running), so I went out to Market street and entered a nearby McDonalds. Asked to use their restroom, said I would buy something from their menu if necessary. Nope, they refused. I wasn’t about to pee my pants, so you know what I did? I went and I pissed on the street right in front of their front doors. Problem solved.

  If you leave people no possible way to do something “correctly”, don’t be surprised if they start doing it incorrectly on purpose.

  This is maybe getting a bit off topic, but I would actually love to read a book about how these various pro wrestling moves were developed over time. If you were to ask me to choreograph a new signature move for a wrestler, I probably wouldn’t be able to come up with anything that isn’t already a variation of a move that already exists in some form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, you could, absolutely. There are times when it is convenient to have one. For example, most fast food establishments will provide you a drink cup with a lid and straw. You could just rip the lid off and drink it normally, but if you are driving (which you probably are if you are getting fast food) and want a sip of your drink, it’s a lot easier to just grab the cup and take a sip through a straw than it is to grab the open container and tilt it. Not to mention the chance you might hit a bump or brake hard and have it spill, either while you are trying to drink from it or even just when it’s sitting in the cupholder if partially full.

  I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.

  I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Built to last⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sega Dreamcast is not an example of a console that inbound describe as “built to last”. I had two and both of them died in the same way - the optical lens cracked from heat stress and stopped reading disks. There was never any warning it was about to happen, and no way to prevent it as far as I knew.

  As unlucky as I was with the Dreamcast, I made up for is by only ever having to buy one Xbox 360. I still own my original console which was never refurbished and never red ringed on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Coming up with a stage name is usually something that agents will tell their clients to do if their name sounds “too ethnic”. Happens when they are auditioning for roles, not when they get famous.

  Random fact I heard the other day: Leonardo DiCaprio almost sent out headshots with a stage name at the advice of his agent, but his dad talked him out of it and told him to be proud of his name. I forget what they told him his stage name should be, but it was way more generic and forgettable than his real name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Date pays for their stuff, you pay for your own. Basically, separate tabs.

  To be clear, I would have paid if she had asked me to at the time. When the bill came for the food, I asked if she wanted separate or together, but my phrasing made it sound like I wanted to split it and she said that was fine. Whoops.

  Don’t worry, she’s making up for lost time. I pay for almost everything when we go out now 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unified Theory of American Reality⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Second term has been so much worse than the first in that regard. I was just telling my co worker the other day that it’s funny how Trump’s first term, and especially his first year, was just him firing tons of people that he appointed, and in his second term he’s hardly fired anybody. It really sends the signal just how much Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants, yes-men, and puffers this time around.

  I think that’s part of the reason why the moron feels emboldened to say and do some truthfully horrifying shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My current fiance said she almost didn’t want to go on a second date with me because I wanted to go Dutch on our first date. She still tells me to this day that I’m lucky I was cute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My fear is that the US and Chinese governments will be propping up AI long after it’s shelf life because we’re in a mini economic cold war with them and nobody wants to get “left behind” in this ridiculous AI race to the bottom.

  Literal trillions of dollars are going into AI related initiatives. But the bubble can’t burst unless the money dries up and I don’t see that happening with the current regimes.

  I just realized that the GenAI craze is like the modern version of Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars project, but somehow both countries got fooled into pouring money into a colossal folly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep forgetting to comment this, but does anyone else remember RFK jr setting a September deadline for “curing Autism”? Like, I remember it being a big deal at the time because that’s not really how science works. Right wingers tried to contrast it with Biden claiming he would find a cure for cancer, but he didn’t set himself an arbitrary deadline to make that happen.

  How suspicious is it that he nailed his deadline window for discovering the “cause” and now has a bogus cure in the chamber as well? Nevermind the fact that they don’t provide any actual evidence of any of these claims.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Early access to porn is nowhere near a new thing. As a millennial, I was exposed to sexual content at a very young age thanks to the internet being largely unregulated. I turned out fine. GenZ and Gen Alpha will be fine too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that will kill this is forcing users to migrate to a new app. Removing the largest friction barrier that prevents people from leaving your app by forcing them to cross it is a great way to scatter the TikTok userbase to the four winds.

  I hope this kills TikTok, and that the people who enjoyed using it remember who was responsible for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New article says #StarCitizen will release in 2027-2028, we contacted the author to ask for clarification on the source and he quoted Chris Roberts himself as saying "1 or 2 Y probably after S42"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of wish that Chris Roberts would just take the hint and STFU about release dates for SQ42/SC. There were so many broken promises that any trust that they will hit targets is gone.

  I can at least say that, based purely off of what I’ve seen of their gameplay trailers, 2026 is a more realistic release date for Squadron 42 that any of the previous target dates were. The question isn’t if it’s going to be finished by then, it will be if they are going to release it in a playable state at that time.

  2027-2028 for Star Citizen is completely unrealistic. The game is nowhere near finished enough to consider that a date that will stick, even if you get all the people working on SQ42 to move over to SC after it eventually releases, the extra manpower can’t make up for the huge hole they’ve dug themselves into. They still have a years-long backlog of content to produce and show no sign of slowing down on offering new pledges. When they catch up with releasing all of the ships that people have paid money for and 10 years later still have nothing to show for it, then we can talk about release dates - ones that give enough time for proper bug fixing, polish, and gameplay balance. 2 or 3 years from now ain’t it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨monthly challenge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first two seem too loosely defined. Does it count if I just log on to e621.net, select latest/popular and then close the window down? Or do I actually have to watch porn and masturbate to completion? Does daily alcohol count if I drink a Bud Light, or make myself a fancy cocktail? Or do I need to get blackout drunk?

  Toughest for me would probably be 5-8 hours of uninterrupted gaming (I don’t have the attention span for it anymore) and running on 5 hours or less of sleep.

  Yeah, I was gonna say… there are definitely way to push anything AI related into an unrelated existing outgroup. Just say the liberals are using AI to steal elections and BAM, just like that you’ve got all the MAGA zombies hating AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did cavepeople have domestic pets, like wolves or cats?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Humans had probably moved to being nomadic rather than living in caves by the time wolves had been domesticated into dogs, but there might have been some overlap between the two groups.

  I don’t really give a shit about the AI race and I genuinely hope that we lose it, because I feel like being a winner in that “industry” is inherently unsustainable.

  The AI hype is so infuriatingly frustrating.
