  Or a pot of water to the bowl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the m-word a slur for people with dwarfism? If so, what are more appropriate terms to use other than dwarf?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always feel weird when fantasy settings have references to things that are very specifically real world. How can you have champagne in a world without France. Lilliputian requires either the island of Lilliput to exist, or Johnathan Swift to have lived and written Gulliver’s Travels. And that would have been very very different because it was satirical commentary on the politics of Britain at the time of writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a name for when you stop preventing a problem thinking it's solved and it comes back?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is closely related to all the people in the hospital who are like “I didn’t need all these meds and supportive oxygen at home. The hospital is making me sick!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if I just started replying to everytthing, even accusations, with "maybe..." like in some old Zen Buddhist koan?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And all of my professors in grad school.

  Wow, social scores are so communist and dystopian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come Pornstars don't teach Master Classes? So the average joe or joness can improve relationships and get better orgasms. Who would be better than pornstars?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I 100% pass that exact video on to people who want to know how to be better at eating pussy with the caveat that most women will go wild for about 1/3 of the demonstrated techniques. Which third seems to be entirely unique woman to woman.

  Your rectum has an internal and external sphincter. When the internal sphincter encounters pressure there’s a whole neural pathway that decides whether to let the external sphincter relax based on if it’s gas or solid.

  Upvote for if massage is regulated in Florida

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people easily find out that I'm an easy to pick up on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But this has created a image of me being a sensitive guy with not so fun personality, a cry baby.

  This sounds like self projection, not necessarily how people actually perceive you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I don’t know where you are or what your healthcare system is like, but I suspect it’s somewhere with a public system. Do you think it’s good for your system to treat depression and suicidal ideation/attempts? Because transition is the best prevention of suicide attempts for people who are transgender. Full stop. If there was any treatment that came close to the improvement for depressed cis people, it would be considered a god damn miracle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How plausible is a medical tricorder?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the way they used it, I always thought the tricorder was just the reading part of other diagnostic implements. Kind of an all in one CGM, implanted pacemaker, etc.

  Historical image of a dog on a table and Pavlov surrounded by several people. Impact font text reads “I bet Pavlov loves that we think of dogs whenever we hear his name”
