I don’t think that at all, I have great friends of both genders. My point is you need to communicate with him, because you came in here thinking it was probably a date and asking us whether he wanted to sleep with you.

There you go, if your reason for going out with him is to be friends, communicate that

Is there any comfortable way to bring up this topic without making me sound like a narcissist who assumed a guy wants to sleep with her just because he asked her out🥲.
I’m less interested in knowing his motivation than I am in your motivation for saying yes and going out with him. Whatever is motivating you to go out with him, that is what you need to communicate, rather than just saying “I’m not going to sleep with you.”

- Comment on Soup of Theseus 2 days ago:
Given that the soup and rainwater would mix together, the question of how long it would take to get that last molecule of soup out is one of probability. I’m not qualified to give you a calculated answer, but I can tell you the most likely outcome is that it’s going to take a lot of spoonfuls. The soup will begin tasting watered down very quickly and will basically be a bowl of >95% water for a long time before you get those last molecules

- Comment on MIT researchers have unveiled a portable, window‑sized device dubbed the atmospheric water harvesting window (AWHW) that can extract clean drinking water directly from air, even in death valley 1 week ago:
You know absolutely nothing about what makes water drinkable or how we as a society have already solved this problem
- Comment on MIT researchers have unveiled a portable, window‑sized device dubbed the atmospheric water harvesting window (AWHW) that can extract clean drinking water directly from air, even in death valley 1 week ago:
Y’all, we’re talking about condensate from a device specifically designed to capture water for drinking. We’re not talking about drinking the water dripping from your AC. Ensuring this water is drinkable is remarkably simple

If you’re concerned with bacterial growth in the condensate of a dehumidifier, all you need to do is boil it

There are plenty ways to purify water once it’s been obtained

He’s saying this is the good guys’ approach, it seems, which I disagree with.

“Oh, you have goal X? Well that’s wrong - you should have goal Y, and here is how I got there” is not an effective way to offer advice to anyone"
Where did you even get this? No one said this

So you had to have a tall, floppy night cap in case you were ever hanged, got it.
- Comment on HOOOOONNNNKK-snewewewewwew 1 week ago:
Does a tall, floppy hat keep your head warmer than something that lays closer to your head?
- Comment on HOOOOONNNNKK-snewewewewwew 1 week ago:
What’s the purpose of a night cap? Like why would anyone want to wear a tall, floppy hat while they sleep?
- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 1 week ago:
Dating someone in their 20s as a 30 year old is not predatory unless you’re preying on them (taking advantage of them by welding power over them or using their inexperience against them). It does not sound like you will be preying on them. Right now, focus on finding someone you like, their exact age doesn’t matter like you think it does.

Not necessary in this situation
- Comment on Replacing Wooden Edges 1 week ago:
I don’t see why you’d have to pull up the turf unless you want to dig underneath it. Assuming the boards come up easily, the concrete edgers you linked look to be about the same thickness, so you could probably just pick up the board and put in the edger.
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 1 week ago:
Where I’m at in Texas, the ice cream truck runs almost year-round. I’m fairly certain they’re selling drugs, because the amount they charge for ice cream is too expensive to be worth it.

This is heavily dependent on the community and what you post. In general, more content is going to be good for all of us, so post away. There are some power posters here with agendas who are annoying AF, but I’ve blocked the ones I’ve noticed and no longer see their content. Some have been banned across instances.

- Comment on the living dead 2 weeks ago:
“The Ants” isn’t casual reading, it’s a dense compendium of everything known about ants, covering every known genus and their morphology and behavior. There’s a key, too, so you can identify ants based on their morphology, assuming you ever feel like counting antennomeres or tarsal segments.

- Comment on China's Robotaxi Companies Are Racing Ahead of Tesla 2 weeks ago:
Waymo is already live in 5 US cities. Waymo has been operating in Austin for over a year city-wide while Tesla kept moving back their rollout and still only operates in a sliver of the city, and only during the day in good weather. Zoox has been heavily testing in Austin and is likely to go live at some point soon.
