  Same with the AI thing – my poor brain is so primed to see it. The little dude looks so strange here though lmao

  I think there was another image, maybe a political cartoon, where a dude had like six fingers and another had a cut-off leg (misdrawn, not amputated). It even had a color pallate close to the standard AI comic scheme. It came from way before generative AI, though.

  I have had SO many “good” ideas as a kid. I’ll learn a fact and go “wow I cannot believe it is this easy to manipulate the human body” and thank my stars I had enough sense to take "Its more complicated than that, but I can’t explain the very real consequences as an answer. Its always at least something with bodies. Honestly, its nuts that anything makes us better at all

  Yeah, if I noticed that pattern (I only know the one quote and was hoping the dig was just awkward) I’d be put off, too. Eww. I do like most of the quote, though.

  It’s a pretty easy way to respond to being put down for being perceived to be smarter. When I was a middle schooler, I felt that way. I was in the advanced programs (btw. Still riding that high :) and certainly had a very “you’re just too dumb to see it like me” reactionary phase. I did grow up, though, lol. I realized Im also too dumb to see it any particularly special way.

  I took way too many words to say that I think having a better understanding of the world is better and not worse.

  Oh my gosh this is so me! I started by trying to figure out what our lawn was made of and now I’m seeing NPFs (Noxious Plant Fuckers) all over the place! I’ve gone through my states Noxious Plant list and I’m obliterating giant ragweed as we speak.

  I’ve found so many cool facts about the history of plants in my neighbors garden, too! I’m just starting, but plants are so cool! There’s a type of invasive honeysuckle that whitetail deer love, and it tends to choke out all other plant life around it. One day, we might have whole forests of deer and honeysuckle, with not a predator in sight. Whoops, haha!

  Yes (sorta maybe)! They were pillars, no dick topper, and may have been covered in algae. There’re also signs of animals living within them. Truly the trees of their time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An older trucker told me (a man (at the time)) that I’d look better if i did. Not “cuter” or “prettier” but it felt slimy, still. I have one example of that and hecking dozens of examples of these old fucks hitting on female cashiers. Straight up inviting a young woman into the shower with regularity. Anyway,

  yeah, this is why its sexist: Men want women to make their dick hard (in a manner of speaking).

  I think you’re talking about something something on a screen. Try turning off your monitor? Depending on the platform, you might be able to find an alternative frontend. Good “luck”!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was hoping someone else articulated this better than me. When I read OP’s screenshot, I heard “Your dick got hard when we showed you sex. What are you, gay? You’re gay, aren’t you?” Which doesn’t really follow. Thats just bullying, I think. The scientists were bullying the homophobes lmao.

  And, like, they’re probably sometimes correct. I conject homophobia is a mask worn by homos to blend in around homophobes, and then the paper you linked hits me with

  These findings confirm the importance of considering the variability in impulsive processes to understand why some (but not all) men high in homophobia have homosexual interest.

  and wow, this really does confirm my bias! Thank you for sharing

  Can I get a vibe check on “Bug Wound”? Bug wound feels a bit more inclusive.

  I think the last non-mosquito bug wound I got was from a cicada i was moving out of my kitchen. it tried drinking my blood?? like sap?? it hurt but it was cute. it didn’t wanna leave after, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A stupid question, I suppose. Weird. I feel like I’ve seen plenty of movies that convey nicely ideology, but not really any proper recognition of the manosphere in anything I’ve watched.

  Loads of hallmark movies where the incel gets the girl, though.
