You could use spherical balloons with really long, but different length, strings for each person. Of course you’d have to avoid tangling your balloons together while walking around like that and given wind can vary with elevation…

Technically all estrogen users are steroid users (and so are people use certain medications for reducing inflammation). But I know what you mean. I know men needed estrogen for certain things like bone health, but that’s cool high T can be balanced by higher E for some of its side effects.

If you use estrogen, it probably won’t help with the type of gains people try to get from lifting, but other gains are possible.

I know someone whose supervisor tells them to drive in circles are the warehouse for the cameras because higher up people also have nothing better to do than watch the cameras and pretend to be busy by complaining about the actual workers not pretending to be busy.

- Comment on Council housing when? 2 weeks ago:
They had already went down by $400 for other units at the same apartment on the same floor. This was 2020, so covid lowered a lot of prices
- Comment on Council housing when? 3 weeks ago:
The only way I got that to happen is by putting in my two-month notice and then signing up for the exact same unit when they listed it. Didn’t even have to moveout and they ended up charging us the lower rate for the two weeks between our current lease ending and the new one starting.

I think pretty much all conservative communities seem like satire much of the time. Hard to believe they’d actually be posting stuff other than to make fun of whoever made it.

Most of the time, leg crams are intentional. Not really worried about the few that are unintentional as long as they go away on their own or can be walked out.

I never used those apps. But generally didn’t like the treatment of the communities by the admins. At least here, I can and do swap around between them to avoid those admin. The mods were rarely an issue on either platform ime. I got a temp ban on one community here and given what people thought I was saying and the purpose of the community, I think it was deserved.
- Comment on How does DNA decide the shape of the body? 10 months ago:
For example, here’s a protein called “myoglobin”, that carries oxygen within your blood:
Myoglobin is in the muscles. Hemogoblin is in the blood and is essentially 4 myoglobin molecules that can combine into one hemoglobin. IIRC, the combination of the 4 makes it easier to switch between accepting and donating oxygen, where myoglobin is better just at the taking oxygen.

Inflation is there to inflate wealth accounts, which includes the same assets as retirement accounts…
- Comment on Poll: 61% of young adults confess they are not saving for retirement 10 months ago:
Unless you think you need $200k/year to survive or you plan to retire in like 90 years, $10million seems like a pretty high estimate. Also, how long you live shouldn’t really be relevant.

- Comment on Anon has an asexual gf 11 months ago:
Demisexuality is under the asexuality umbrella, so it should seem relatable.
If you do experience sexual attraction towards those you are close to then that would be demi. If you want to have sex despite lack of sexual attraction, then that would be black-stripe ace.
The food analogy is the comparison I’ve seen people use to explain what sexual attraction is. Hunger is like libido and has little to nothing to do with sexual attraction. Sexual attraction would be like when someone brings out a fresh cake and you need to have a piece even if you just ate and are not hungry. I guess demi in this analogy would mean you wouldn’t feel that way unless you already knew that specific dessert well. But if you just eat tasty desserts when you are bored, because you like the taste but don’t have the mouthwatering reaction to it being presented, because the person who made it is important to you and you feel eating it’s a way to bond with them, etc, you could still be a black-stripe ace.
That said, what counts as sexual attraction has confused me a lot despite spending a fair bit of time reading people trying to explain it.
Anyways, if demi is a functionally useful label, there no need to change. In-practice real-world usefulness of language is more important than weirdos on the Internet trying to be precise in the meanings of words.

Platonic seems fine with me. If you just see sex as another activity to do, like playing board games or TTRPGs, then it makes sense. As hikaru pointed out, the relationship itself wouldn’t be platonic, but the attraction can be.
Granted, I say this as someone who does not engage in sex.
