A good read

The fruit classification seems insane to me. Maybe I’m unfamiliar with dishes that use it as a sweet?

I want to know about this shared soapy ass bar and also I don’t.

Ah ok! I initially read that as Biowife, so I assumed there was a real pregnancy scare. And you know, Biowife as opposed to digital waifu or whatever.

Yes but to be clear, I was joking.

They should control video games like they control guns.

Btw is $80 actually up from the oughts and 10s? I’ve had $80 as the price for the latest AAA game in my head forever and am continually surprised it hasn’t changed.

I don’t see why it would be like that. Even if the chemical these were detecting was sky rocketing during miscarriage, the test should only have two lines worth of reagent (test and control) built into it. You don’t get more lines from high concentration. This looks like a misprint.

I read through that literacy link a bit. Very interesting. I was assuming at least a majority of the adult illiteracy was from people born outside the country, but that’s only 34% of them! Do you know how California has the lowest rate by state? Are those 34% concentrated there, or is public school particularly bad there? I’m not American.

I have this formative moment from my teenage years where I finished something in the fridge and asked my parents if I should leave the packaging in there. My dad, obviously frustrated with the question, snapped back asking if I saw an accumulation of empty packaging in the fridge.
My kids are starting to do this now. I’m still perplexed why this is the default our brains take.

Now that you spell it out, Absedee (or maybe Abesede?) is actually kind of cute and not too hard to read. The parents could have spelled it phonetically and then later explained it comes from abcde.

- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 months ago:
This is an over generalization. How can you support that this is true other than for yourself alone?
Sometimes the unfiltered things I discuss in private are for the purpose of getting feedback. A brainstorming space without any of the regular inhibitions censoring free thought. I’m not looking for affirmation, but genuinely want to see what the unfiltered feedback would be, and am ready to change my option on a dime.
Take this to the next level: you do this in your own mind / imagination before you speak. You think things that you don’t say. So is everything in your mind, even things you think are wrong and choose not to express, your true self? And you should be ashamed of shameful thoughts?
Also what do you even mean by “true” self? If I act differently around different groups of people, which one is true?

Wow base building and the bubble expanding? That’s decent. All part of odyssey I imagine? I’m still on horizons.

This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.

I often think about this too, though a quick search about house spiders did suggest to me they have a decent chance of survival through winter. I don’t think human structures have been around long enough for species to have adapted to be dependent on them.

I hated it for being a clip show.
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 6 months ago:
It sounds like you know what I was getting at. I recognize the danger women are up against and ultimately, even for trivial things, dating is a “free market” where everyone is allowed to ditch on a dime. I’ll defend that more strongly than my point above.
I do object to the accusation I’m advocating for men making decisions on behalf of women. I meant my comment to apply for any combination of sexes/genders.
The armchair theory I’m working from here is that the quantity of potential dates provided by online dating has changed the landscape in a way where people are less incentivized to give second chances. That helps some in some situations, hurts others in others. I just wanted to put a thought out there to not stray too far to one extreme of “anything that might correlate with them being a bad date is an immediate dealbreaker, because there are ten thousand other swipes waiting for me”.
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 6 months ago:
It’s not necessarily an easy problem to solve. I think the woman should have given him a chance and generally everyone should avoid reacting so strongly to “dealbreakers” on a first date.
That being said, Anon can also consider not bringing up anime and video games right off the bat. It doesn’t mean you can never share this. It may be just fine given more context (you are moderate about it, still open to other things, etc.). We all make snap judgments that we regret later. It’s ok for you to help your dates avoid these (barring serious things like hiding if you have a kid).
