I don’t know you or how you’re feeling, but do you feel like you deserve the same consideration you give your cat when it comes to yourself?
I’ve been depressed so I know there’s a solid chance that answer is no and you probably feel pretty settled about why, but ask yourself if you were judging someone you love (maybe your cat) by the same metric would your answer for them be the same?
Depression is a real rough process, we’re rooting for you.

Your cat would want you to be happy. As long as you don’t forget to fill up the food bowl.

Yeah, or even the other way around. It’s kind of generic, but we feel pretty good about one of the better ways of reducing your risk of cancer being to exercise and eat healthy and that will also get your libido going.

With the quantity of ejaculations being self controlled, this feels like we could just be looking at a marker of general health.

Even just maybe… gaseous oxygen could be interesting.
How big would the drop in atmospheric pressure actually be at ground level? I don’t know how to calculate that beyond… feels like lower than 20%, but could whatever number still be enough to induce barotrauma? How do we apply that potential change in atmospheric pressure to the ocean and tides, and how bad is that sudden shift, massive tsunamis or just slightly higher tides? I feel like a lot of measuring equipment would be fucked for a bit, how bad could it be if every altimeter/barometer/etc was unreliable for 5 seconds? Effect on contained systems feels more predictable, I know nitrogen inflation is a thing you can get in some places, but most are just air, feels like a 20% drop in tire pressure worldwide for 5 seconds is going to have to cause a spike in road accidents.
Would the increased radiation be enough to create a global sterilizing affect for important bacteria/etc and what’s the worst that could happen there?
What happens if every combustion engine in use stops working for 5 seconds? How much does that affect power plants/our energy infrastructure?
There’s lot of industrial applications, I know that welding and steel production can require pure oxygen. Medical and research applications too. How bad is it if the oxygen supply on all of those worldwide fails suddenly?

You were right, the style change is very noticeable, but id still say it’s a worthwhile read.

Ancient meme, but that’s why you have to keep a small version of this in your wallet:

The guy who put this together ended up writing a full book based on the concept.

I think that’s just kinda it.

Wow, kinda same, I had the full image for a minute, but it cropped when I tried to zoom in and now even if I zoom back out its still cropped.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 3 weeks ago:
Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 4 weeks ago:
I’m just a bit older, but been there.
I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and… yeah, I don’t think I can do this y’all.
- Comment on Youtube Has A Big Issue Right Now 4 weeks ago:
Do any of those have any kind of monetization? I legitimately don’t know, feel like Dailymotion might have something? Would be great if we just didn’t need to do that, but I don’t think people concerned about their views/earnings on one platform are going to move to one where it’s worse or non existent.

I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.

In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it’s catching on in the UK too.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 month ago:
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.

Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.
- Comment on A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template 2 months ago:
This interpretation of the meme doesn’t exactly predate genAI, but it does predate genAI becoming good enough to do this. We did have some weird stuff that google was messing with back then that was vaguely similar, but I don’t think we even called it AI at the time. It mostly made things that looked like LSD hallucinations.
I bought a copy on etsy for someone shortly after pandemic lockdown back in 2020. It’s been awhile, but seem to remember the artist having several more meme interpretations in a similar style.

- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 months ago:
Mastercard is living the corporate dream. They’ve colluded their way to a near monopoly and don’t have to care about the value of their brand. They just have to be invisible enough that they don’t pull heat for something or other from various governments.
- Comment on It would get old fast 2 months ago:
In a neighborhood like that, you’d probably end up with a fine and they’d charge you to ‘fix’ it for you.

Fuck, yeah, I mean 7 friends seems like a lot to manage.
- Comment on hygiene 2 months ago:
Could be just poop, but combining old man smell, body odor and mold will make some gnarly stench. Still someone needs to get out the cleaning supplies.
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash 2 months ago:
If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.
Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 2 months ago:
People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.

Good is relative, you forget all coffee you’ve had previously and keep access to your current coffee. All other coffee is permanently worse than this one going forward.

If it lets me breathe properly and consistently living in the south, I don’t even care, throw another one on the other side of my face too as a backup just in case.
