- Comment on Plummeting interest rate 11 months ago:
There was this mean thing people would say back in like the 90s, that the people complaining online win every argument because everyone who had success was busy being in a relationship.
- Comment on I'll try to follow my very emotionally healthy idols better 11 months ago:
I think that is exactly why that problem persists. Among a certain subset of the population, there is no need to look further. Why assume that there's a deeper message there?
Which is why it's always so frustrating when you see someone arguing that you should only be able to vote if you serve. (Yes, this really happened to me.)

Ah. The Starship Troopers problem.

It has been so, so long since I last saw the Time Cube. Thank you.

Your name implies a bias toward the lack of value with regard to the well-being of the modern anus.
- Comment on It's like everyday 1 year ago:
I just wanted to say these comments are off the chain. This is how the internet used to be- just people chatting, making jokes and telling stories.
I didn't know hoe much I missed it.

I'm not reading your thesis on cave woman gang bangs. Hopefully someone else will engage you on this topic further.

Bro your hypothesis is "I feel like it" and your evidence is "You can't prove it's not true" and that's just not how science works.
What we have is evidence (see your damn link to wikipedia) in non-human primates and the "I'm making a sound now to indicate that you should ejaculated for maximum likelihood of impregnation" is pretty solid stuff. There's talk of encouraging fights for better mate selection. What there isn't is talk of "I am doing a sex, please join the train being run on me" no matter how much you feel like it's a valid theory.

Dude you extrapolated some crazy stuff about cave woman orgies that are in no way supported by this link.

Thank you for posting this. I knew a woman's orgasm had a purpose in insemination but vocalizations indicating the best time for male ejaculation makes sense.
And about a billion times more sense than some of the nonsense posted in thud thread.

Right? What evidence?
"The evidence being that it makes my pants feel funny when I think about it." - Some scientist, probably
- Comment on Have you tried Sea of Stars? 1 year ago:
Loved it. 10/10
I feel like the true ending cheapened a specific plot point but I was happy it happened anyway.

I always thought we really missed out on a chance for there to be a more intense overwriting of Ezra with Jadzia, or one of the other hosts. She seemed so meek! Give me a St. Alia situation, where the current host can't stand against the memories of previous ones, and make it more compelling than taboos and stuff!
- Comment on How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults) 1 year ago:
Sure it does. I've done it!
Code of Conduct and ethical behavior are for everyone, not just people who follow the rules in college. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Now, professionally, I'm under an exceptional amount of scrutiny for ethical behavior and I very much should be! I work with marginalized and underrepresented people! They are easy to exploit and are very protected by the law, as well as our ethics. I've reported others for their unethical behavior (as well as conducted conversations about appropriate interaction with the people we support).
What that means is, my (metaphorical) nuts are at the band saw every minute of every day. I am absolutely fine with that. It needs to be that way. And if I have a reportable offense, if I ever refer to my actual employer by their name online, I hope to God someone reports me. Because I need a reality check, and I need one badly.
Goose, gander. Rules for thee, rules for me. The poster isn't somehow allowed to be abused because they did something in the past (which they paid for!) by someone with a superiority complex. That person isn't somehow immune to the consequences of their actions just because of something OP did in the past.

I second the person who says you need to bring this public behavior to the attention of his employer.
He reported you for misconduct and the sword of damocles swings both ways.

How unlikely! How fortunate I took so long to play Golf Story!
- Comment on The official Lord of the Rings special effects studio is making a cozy hobbit game 1 year ago:
From time to time, I feel bad for all the people who don't enjoy crafting, fishing, or farming elements in their games now that those things are in every game.
Then I remember that I love them so much that I just get back to enjoying them.
- Comment on Howl's Moving Castle - 2004 - by Hayao Miyazaki, based on the 1986 novel by Diana Wynne Jones. 1 year ago:
I love this movie but not for the movie, but doe the best visual adaptation I thought we would ever get from the book.
She has another series that I adore, the Chrestomanci books. What a talented author!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
As a person who has learned 2 languages besides English, let me say the idea that you would go into a place where native speakers are discussing their own language and then tell them why they are wrong because non-native speakers wouldn't see a problem with the usage of the word in their own language...?
Certainly gutsy, I'll give you that. I can't imagine the balls to tell people speaking their native language that I, a student of their language, am learned enough to educate them on the subtle nuance of the use of a word in various contexts, but you do you I guess.
- Comment on First (I repeat, first) test of menstrual products using actual blood published last week (I repeat, last week) 1 year ago:
Anecdotally, when I was a child and an ad for maxi pads came on TV showing that blue liquid, I had to listen to my father bitch about how there shouldn't be ads for menstrual products because they're "disgusting." And he shouldn't "have to think of that."
...so it's anecdotal only but I may have a theory about why...

Honestly, this would've gotten a date from me far better than a random dick pic. Solid advice.
