It’s evenly distributed because it’s all mixed together. Order: 15 buckets of paint in a rainbow of colors. Swirl them all together and you get an increase in entropy, it’s hard to pick out spots with pure color, there are a bunch of weird mixtures where the colors touch, it’s really difficult to paint with. Mix them all up completely and you get a uniform brown sludge. That’s chaos, you can’t separate them back out, all the individual pigments are hopelessly commingled.

But what if they were evil billionaires for everyone else, but financially generous with you specifically? What if you made them lose millions just with your presence, what if they couldn’t control themselves around you? You mention liking Green Day, and the next day your billionaire has hastily reinvested everything in solar energy for you. You’re the only one who can influence him, he NEEDS you. He’s disgusting but your love can tame him.

Feels like an extension of the testosterone worshipping semen retaining nofap types. To quote Dr Strangelove: “Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women,… but I do deny them my essence.”

I may have gotten my terms mixed up, but I think demi is reactive sexuality, someone who gets turned on by their partner getting turned on. Requires a bond / connection. Not really interested without it.
I’m not super familiar with terms on that ace spectrum though. It’s somewhere on there.

Pretty sure that’s demi.

The one that surprises me is TV. It has objectively improved in quality so much, it’s basically on par with movies at this point. Writing, acting, costuming, all of it. I’d never claim that TV from the 90s was superior to now, even though I was a teen back then.

I’m merely intimidated by your superior intellect. I really wish you’d impart more of your wisdom on us. Please, tell us more about how stupid we are for finding things some men do annoying. I’m learning so much from your superior logical brain.

Sorry, I’m incapable of discussing this due to my lack of reasoning. Obviously I’m too emotional because I tried to offer an example of what this might be like to experience that men might find it easier to relate to. What a stupid brainless thing of me to do. Sorry my beliefs (what were they again? That it would be weird if some rando commented on your appearance?) are idiotic and based in pure emotion not rational thought. Gross.

People do talk to individual specific women this way. That’s what we’re talking about.
It’s not that you’re misunderstanding or being uncharitable or there’s a miscommunication, it’s because I’m not thinking, I’m just a dumb woman only feelings no thoughts head empty. Thanks for the valuable discussion, love trying to give perspective and being met with condescension.

You got me being a narcissist from just that?
You wouldn’t find that comment really weird from anyone you’re not sexually involved with? Yeah obviously it’s different when it’s a partner, but that’s not what we’re talking about. Unsolicited advice on how I groom myself is creepy to me. I think you’d find it creepy too, which is why I tried to give a more relatable example. Evidently that makes me a narcissist, jesus. Can’t talk about anything.

Early in my career I did tensile testing on adhesive coupons. I was running an experiment to simulate heating and cooling cycles on a bond. I had a nice big thermal chamber from the 1960’s, lined with heating elements (and undoubtedly asbestos), a big old dewar of liquid nitrogen, some thermocouples, and a PID controller the size of a German Shepherd.
Problem is, cold air sinks. My samples are sitting on the bottom of this huge chamber and their temperature is fluctuating wildly every time a bit of LN2 is added. The PID controller cannot cope with my shitty test setup, it’s trying to turn on the damed heaters to control the temperature and this is a multi-hour test and I just want to go home.
But… I have a cardboard box. Nice, insulative cardboard, just the right height to get my samples off the floor of the chamber and into a zone where the temperature is more stable. I am brilliant! Cardboard box deployed, I can finally begin my thermal cycling.
I learned a few things that day:
- thermal cycles include both hot and cold phases
- the floor of the thermal chamber has much less temperature stability while cooling AND while heating
- specifically the floor contains a heating element and gets ridiculously hot
- cardboard combusts at a temperature much lower than you might expect
- opening the door of a smoking thermal chamber to investigate allows in a rush of oxygen
- rapid introduction of oxygen to a smoldering cardboard box leads to very large exciting pretty flames
- fire extinguishers leave a fine dust of particles all over everything that you will be cleaning up for MONTHS

Pretty rude to use a real picture of a real person as an example of someone you find repulsive. What did she ever do to you? And he wonders why women aren’t into him…

I vote we make “big truck energy” the opposite of “big dick energy”. Like: “you’re giving real big truck energy right now.”

It’s not raising money “for high fashion”, it’s raising money for the art historians at the Metropolitan Museum.
- Comment on Met gala 2 months ago:
Museums and art are important. It’s a big successful fundraiser for art, and in that respect I think it’s great. Vibes-wise it’s fucking rancid though. An indulgent, tone deaf celebration of wealth that ultimately benefits a good cause.
