- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 2 weeks ago:
TIL about the Kinsey scale. It would appear that yeah, I’m definitely a 0 by the description.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. I’ve heard people say they “always knew they were gay” and “they were born in the wrong body.” And it was things that were just natural.
That’s the only way I can describe it. I’m attracted to women. I’ve always known that, and no matter how hard I try, it’s impossible to imagine non-women to be sexually (and romantically) attractive.
Like there’s just something there that stops it going any further. Like, hell, a woman that visually has a body that can indisputably only be a woman but then talks with a baritone voice it’s instant off (there’s several comedies where this sort of character is used).
What’s cool though is that if I’m that sure about myself, there is no doubt in my mind that other people know what their attractions are, and there is no reason for anyone to doubt a person’s attractions.

The story of being hit on by a celebrity would be plenty enough for me.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 2 weeks ago:
So interesting thing here: both groups were aroused at heterosexual and lesbian stimuli.
The homophobic ones responded to the homosexual stimuli.
The guys were bi. Sort of explains why they argue “everyone chooses to be gay or straight.” Because they have decided they have to.
This also explains the more-frequent-than-i-enjoy conversation about how “no, there really isn’t a celebrity I’d go gay for.”

The meme is “science guy doing science”
The joke is that the DC in “Washington DC” also stands for “Direct Current.” Direct Current is usually stable in a circuit.
What our Punny scientist did is make Washington “Alternating Current.” By creating an oscillating image of the Washington DC buildings.
It’s a very funny shitpost for electronic nerds.
- Comment on I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings and I still don't understand how this thing works. 2 weeks ago:
I think you might have missed the point of my story.
Farmers were the engineers designing these things. Because that’s all the kind of farmers there was.
Now we have Factory Factory farms, but there are still some small farmers doing this stuff. We don’t have many true farmer/engineers left. And it’s bad for all of us.
- Comment on I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings and I still don't understand how this thing works. 2 weeks ago:
There’s a theory in my family.
You have true farmers, then you have factory farms. Factory Farms are not just for animals. They exclusively produce cash crop, they exclusively optimize profit, they also do hardly any of the work themselves. They’ll be in a combine, sure. But combines are quite literally automatic nowadays, so it becomes a second office where they’re negotiated deals and labor and contracts and taxes.
The true farmers on the other hand? Way back when, before Monsanto and Tyson, farm communities took care of specific jobs for specific farms because one of those farmers found a really good way to do it, or is just much more efficient.
That left a little more time for each of the farmers to work on something they were skilled with, or do a hobby even.
Guess what was a popular hobby amongst farmers? Electric Scale Trains. These farmers also invented and designed and engineered a lot of these tools and equipment, because they had to repair their machines quicker than a service tech could come out.
So you get robust engineering out of a Farmer. Then the Factory Farmer comes in and says “Hey, I got a friend named John Deer who could mass produce these, and the non-presceint Farmer said cool.”
BAM innovations
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 2 weeks ago:
The declaration really can’t be highlighted like that. It undermines the gravity of the letter, but I understand people don’t like to read.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.
Essentially, they say that people are willing to endure suffering for the sake of not having to change their lives. But Then it follows that with
But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism
When all people can no longer ignore that the government is forcing everything to have an absolute ruler, the people will come to the conclusion that the government must end by force.
While a lot of people agree with this, it’s not enough. When I go to work, everyone is still going about their day like nothing has really changed. Too many people still have shelter, food, and medicine. That’s about to change now. And when people experience that, that is the time they will overthrow.
The reason they want revolutionary violence to occur earlier than later is because they still have the opportunity to turn the most brain washed against the rest of us.

Things are going to get real fucky.
Those in power will be unable to trust each other and their employees even less. We may end up living where we work.
Diseases will be widespread, and no care will be offered to anyone but the privileged.
Famine, likely entirely manufactured, will cause massive amounts of starvation.
Modern conveniences will be slowly lost. Cars will be falling apart because no one can afford mechanics, and the lack of vehicle regulations leads to excessive accidents.
Planes will break up midaire. Widespread blackouts when shit goes sideways. Forget about medicine.
Waterways will be polluted beyond what can be boiled. Breathing in big cities will be hazardous. They will say “efficiency” but not one instance of efficiency will be observable.
Kids showing academic excellence will be abducted and sent to special indoctrination schools so that they can only benefit the regime.
Women will have rights removed. All men will have to do a two year duty in war. Church attendance will be reported to the government.
I have more ideas but I’ll stop there
- Comment on Nudify app’s plan to dominate deepfake porn hinges on Reddit, docs show 2 weeks ago:
FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.
And they definitely use it themselves.
- Comment on You got it, buddy 3 weeks ago:
I see all these stupid boyfriend/stupid husband stuff, and I can’t help but think maybe my ex wife was just jealous of her friends that had stupid men in their lives.
And maybe I’m just overqualified for relationships. I mean, shit, that was the advice my brother gave me: “I get along with people because they’re much smarter than me.” One of the first red flags I remembery ex wife telling me was “you know you don’t have to be so smarty all the time.”
Ok, no, I can’t even lie to myself that well, can you imagine? Being overqualified for dating lol

- Comment on Anon finds love 3 weeks ago:
Ok, so, obviously fake, because anyone getting 23andMe probably doesn’t still live at home with their parents. And if they do they’re going to have enough similarities to know they are related somehow. Also why are they fucking when their mom can walk in midorgasm? Parents would know long before a few months pass.

We’re gonna find out.
6 months ago, I’d say yes. No matches at all. But I’ve worked out a lot in those 6 months, and I got better clothes, more comfortable haircuts, new glasses.
Imma have my brother get some photos.
I was recently told by several women that I really shouldn’t have a hard time as long as I don’t take selfies. I make good money, I’m 6’0", I’m white, I got blue eyes, and I have muscle. Im attractive at first glance.
They said I don’t need a perfect anything as long as it looks like I put effort in to appearing good. It’s something about effort and confidence being more attractive than being Henry Cavill. But I also have to learn to stay to my values and not just fall for the first hot woman I get a match with.

Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.
Those who loved it, and those who haven’t watched much or any of it.
My ex got me into it, and she’s kind of… Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn’t take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don’t enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it’s fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being “technically correct.” It’s well written more than anything.

IIRC Orcas are one of the species that does shit that appears to have no biological advantage. Other species of dolphins do too.
Dolphins as a whole have some really creative behaviors, especially in social circles. And it appears that they do these things “for the hell of it.”
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 4 weeks ago:
We got a figure out a way to remove first past the post.
There are really at least 3 groups, not liberals and conservatives.
There are progressives, neoliberals, and fascists.
Progressives believe the government exists to help all people.
Neoliberals say people should not be descriminated against, but wealth segregation is fine
Fascists are, well, fascists.
