- Comment on Anon is dense 3 weeks ago:
Yup. I remember one day I got a blunt from a friend that was way above my parade. I’m tripping balls. Friend’s sister start to get into me. I’m barely keeping myself in the chair. She whispers to me “I want to suck your dick.” All I could manage to do was giggle like a retarded.
Sometimes I remember it and I still cringe. It was over 20 years ago.
- Comment on They'd rather die: The lesson that male roundworms refuse to learn 3 weeks ago:
This is a Berry interesting study.
But this caption:
Confocal microscopy images of worms of both sexes show high expression of an immune gene (green) upon exposure to a disease-causing bacterium in females (second from left) and males (far right). Other images show the absence of an immune response following exposure to the other bacterium in females (far left) and males (second from right). The males failed to learn from experience, even though their immune response to the harmful bacterium was identical to that of the females.
Didn’t make any sense at the beginning of the article. That last sentence isn’t connected to the picture at all. You only get that leap in logic much later in the text. It threw me off a lot.

And when he got cast out of Apple, his drive created NeXT, which then became MacOS X. Still, good riddance.

Your male calico is likely intersex XXY. very rare.
Sorry, I had indeed misinterpreted your previous comment. Thanks for clarifying.
- Comment on Evolution without sex: How asexual mites generate genetic diversity and ensure survival 2 months ago:
Nope. The egg starts dividing before the deactivation of the extra X, and that propagates.
For instance: In cats, a big part of their skin pigmentation is controlled by the X chromosome. Which is why you’ll only find female calico cats. Males only carry the one X and can only manifest one color pattern.
- Comment on Evolution without sex: How asexual mites generate genetic diversity and ensure survival 2 months ago:
Usually which X chromosome gets deactivated as a Barr body changes depending on where in the female body you are. Or, as Veritasium put it: women are stripey.

Real story. A friend of mine was working on new year’s, maintenance trailer inside a factory. Suddenly a puff of dust. A new home on the ceiling and and his desk, the line going two feet from his head, and a ~.45 round at the rubberized metal floor.
Bullets go down about as fast as they go up.

- Comment on Traveller / Cepheus Engine? 3 months ago:
I’ll tell you, the RPG groups on lemmy tend to be very fantasy focused. It would be awesome to have a space for sci-fi. I’ll be glad to help you nurture it.
- Comment on Traveller / Cepheus Engine? 3 months ago:
Not sure I’d be able to contribute all that much to Traveller. But perhaps expand your horizons a bit and create a c/SciFiRPG community?
