I have a female friend who is of the opinion that dick size doesn’t matter because only the first few inches of the vaginal canal has erotic nerve endings. I’ve told her that dick size is like breast size: some people care more about it than others and it is a factor. She continues to deny it matters at all.
I’m a guy of average size. I don’t have any insecurities about my junk. But I have enough experience and watched enough (realistic) porn that I know it matters, it’s just not a game breaker like some insecure men fear it is. That being said, size queens are a thing too.

Seriously. I have zero problem when I see spiders in my house. I’m like, “Oh, good. Keep it up, bro.” Totally happy to have arachnids around.

Waffles. Greater surface area = more butter & syrup = higher cholesterol = greater chance of dying from a heart attack = end of existential life crisis. Existence be bullshit.

No, definitely more stupid than this.

- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 3 weeks ago:
It’s much more likely that it would either fly away at another trajectory or circle back several times before eventually hitting us. In order for it to become another Earth satellite, it would have to miss us at a very precise angle and speed in order to get trapped in a stable orbit around us.

What surprised me most about it was how much it takes from detective noir books from decades prior. It reads a lot like a Raymond Chandler novel.

Okay. I mean, are they like old-timey sexist jokes or something? Because if you’re saying modern humor isn’t sexist/racist/whatever-ist, I’d strongly beg to differ.
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 4 weeks ago:
No, you still don’t get it and I don’t think any further explanation on my part is going to change your mind, but just know this is about mass psychology, not the particulars of any political system or culture. You think you’re protected from this kind of hysteria, but you’re not.
Anyway, best of luck to you and yours.

Took a look at his posts. I mean, yeah, a lot of them are kinda just dad jokes and/or only chuckle-funny, not real funny, but I don’t see the boomerishness. I think that word has kinda just become a slur for people online who one doesn’t like at this point.
- Comment on Not proud of myself. But I do it all the time 4 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, maybe I’m OOTL, but what about this is particularly boomerish? And why all the hate?
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 5 weeks ago:
I’m fully convinced that it won’t happen here, unless we’re directly invaded.
As I said, you’re making the exact same mistake many made in America. Dictators come to power when a population is suffering and their government has profoundly failed them. In such times, they’re so desperate that they’ll vote for a strongman outsider who promises them their wildest dreams. This is not an American error that the Irish are immune to making, and if you think so, you’re just as ignorant as the Americans you think so little of.
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 5 weeks ago:
Oh, yeah, this type of insane bullshittery could never happen in Europe. Except that it already has and continues to. You’re parroting the same, lame “it can’t happen here” crap many of my American friends were in 2016.

Then she too wasn’t using the word correctly. She may have meant the affective portion of it, which she probably didn’t have.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 5 weeks ago:
There’s nothing in the context of this quote or Elon Musk’s that suggests they’re talking about empathy being taught in schools and it making boys weak. In both cases it’s more a response to Democrats using the word a lot in their political speech to try to bring coalitions of people together.
- Comment on No I'm really not sorry. George Floyd was a father too, and before old Charlie had his personal turning point he called him a scumbag. 5 weeks ago:
I would encourage people to read the Wikipedia page on George Floyd. He was a complicated and flawed individual, who definitely did some bad things and didn’t make very good decisions all the time. But he tried to improve later in his life with mixed results (at least with regards to drug addiction), and that counts for something, I think.
Derek Chauvin and Charlie Kirk, by comparison, tended to get worse as their lives went on. Chauvin may well have framed Floyd for a drug crime and Kirk espoused factually false information to millions of people just to gain fame and power in conservative circles.
These people are not the same.

Then please explain the quote above.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 5 weeks ago:
The man simply didn’t understand the word at all. Empathy is our capacity to understand the minds of others. It does not convey approval or agreement, simply understanding. Psychopaths have empathy; it’s how they’re good at manipulating others. You have to understand someone to manipulate them effectively. All humans possess some degree of empathy, as do most animals.
There is an affective (emotional) component to empathy that effectively causes your mind to conjure the same emotion you perceive another person (or animal) to be feeling. This is why you cry when watching an emotional scene in films sometimes. Psychopaths do not have this component, which is why they seem emotionally cold to people sometimes. Psychopaths have to fake this in order to blend into society, and they learn to do so over the course of their lives.
Charlie Kirk simply didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about in this instance, and Elon Musk doesn’t either. As someone on the autism spectrum, I’m not surprised Musk has some difficulty with the concept.

Got it time. Lemmy will become like Reddit given enough use base and time. It’s inevitable.
- Comment on bro who tf invented the SPOON 💀 like u see a puddle and thought “yeah imma scoop that” 1 month ago:
I don’t think this is difficult to understand at all. You want to have a tool to scoop liquid, hold it in your hand, and allow you to pour it into your mouth. So, you invent a cup or a bowl. Then, you want a tool that allows you to do this in mouth-sized bits. So, you invent a spoon. Or, if you’re really smart, a straw.
This really isn’t that hard.
