  I think the intention is meant to be that the well endowed woman on the left is his daughter somehow or maybe his sister, but absent any actual information, I am choosing to believe this is a wholesome polyamory joke

  Yeah… I was going to write about how weird it was re: LGBTQ+ but I didn’t have the energy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News: Study Shows That Most Men Are Not Toxic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A thorough enough paper but… An almost wilful misinterpretation of their own data?

  There’s the obvious thing, only ~35% of the sample was defined by the researchers as not toxic.

  Even if we are benevolent and say that the portion who are lgbt-tolerant and moderately toxic aren’t… Toxic… Then that leaves ~40% of the sample falling under toxic masculinity. Which would agree with their headline but is still like. Staggering? Forty Percent? When we are reasonably generous with the definitions in favour of not classifying as toxic, we still get 40? Thats pretty much every other man you meet!

  Even if we do take their findings as they present them, that “only” 11% of men are toxic - that’s 1 in 10? 1 in 10 men being irrefutably “toxic masculinity” examples is a lot still, man! Think about how many men one must interact with to engage in daily life, and 11% of those are irrefutably “toxic men”? And the proposed conclusion is “uh, actually the issue is overblown”

  There’s no such thing as child porn, only child sexual abuse material.

  But yes, its fucked up that nothing is done when chatbots are causes of death. That should absolutely also be a catalyst for change.

  all you have is an name and written text (essentially making the whole idea of players liking some characters nonviable)

  People have favourite characters in books and text-only games all the time - don’t sell yourself short on your ability to write compelling characters before you’ve tried and failed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you just make this easy for everyone, then, and create your own instance (which hosts the account from which all your heavy posting will come), and use your other accounts for whatever else you might want to do.

  This:

  • enables users or instances that may want to not interact with you to enact that effectively

  • allows you to see posts from and post to every instance and community which reciprocates a desire to be connected with you (or at least which doesn’t want to not be connected with you)

  All without putting the burden on others for your excessive account creation and posting.

  Teeeeechnically floating point is still discrete as there is not arbitrary accuracy. Discrete just means not continuous, and floating point has limits of accuracy ie limits of continuity.

  I guess it would have been more correct to write “Like-.” since that would make it clear that it was an unfinished idea. I interpreted it both as being too exasperated to finish the thought, or as leading into the following paragraph.

  For sure, but that’s kinds the point in a way, you identify that communication is an issue and you can work on it :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use this science wisely.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, even if the other person doesn’t communicate their answer verbally, you can ask verbally :) it is the most direct way to establish an open pathway for communication.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use this science wisely.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Communication doesn’t need to be verbal - and I’m more talking about setting the precedent for communicating about pleasure as a practice. Being able to communicate about pleasure takes you a lot further in mutual pleasure than having a “trick”, yknow?
