  Except it’s not just some guy vandalizing a car, or else you wouldn’t be making memes about it.

  I’m picturing it jump up rapids like a salmon.

  Floating upstream - what a coconut!

  A great game if you like gritty fantasy, turn based tactics, and losing.

  Would you like to be a moderate? I’ll propose giving the hogs the assault rifles and you’ll instantly become a moderate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World travelers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Coconuts have evolved to spread from island to island by floating, but it’s still weird that one happened to float to the other side of the world in historic times. I would have guessed that either the currents could never take a coconut there or that the currents would have taken a coconut there long ago.

  I say we cede the country to the pigs. They might do a better job.

  You’re one of several people mentioning shared cultural references, but if you’re male and your partner is female then I’m surprised that she has any interest in things like Thundercats or He-Man regardless of her age. I’m a nerdy heterosexual man, and in my experience practically no women share my interests or hobbies. Therefore my relationships have been built around doing the things that pretty much everyone enjoys - eating a nice meal, going for a walk, talking about current events, playing with pets, etc. A good partner is someone who enjoys doing these ordinary things with me. Maybe someone who does share my interests would be even better but I don’t think finding a person like that is likely enough to be worth trying.

  I wonder why your experience is apparently so different from mine. Am I unusual or are you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard that statistic but it doesn’t match what I’ve seen in my own family. My grandparents weren’t physically intimate with each other even when I was a kid and they were relatively young. (I lived with them so I would have noticed if they ever wanted private time together, and they never did.) This, combined with the fact that many people in nursing homes are in no condition to actually have (consensual) sex, makes me wonder if the explanation for that statistic is not as straightforward as it seems.

  Just fill your living room with radioactive waste and they’ll come put this sign up for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But are you saying that there can be romantic attraction without physical aspects, or are you talking about romantic attraction with fewer physical aspects but more emotional ones?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon touches grass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some day that he’s still happily high to this day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean by “emotional attraction”? I enjoy spending time with my good friends, and I would even say that I love them in the way that friends love each other, but I am not attracted to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how I could want to date someone who I wouldn’t want to have sex with. The man I mentioned who is no longer attracted to women his age has a person in his life who was his girlfriend when they met 25 years ago and the two of them still enjoy spending time together but they no longer have a physical relationship.

  I can understand how you don’t want to date someone a lot younger than you, although I don’t have any personal experience with that - I’ve never had a partner more than a couple of years younger than I am. However, I’m a man who has had little in common with most of the women I’ve dated, simply because I have little in common with most women. (My hobbies might be crudely called “autistic”.) Thus, for me dating has involved finding women I get along with surprisingly well despite having so little in common.

  Maybe I really wouldn’t enjoy the company of someone a lot younger than me, but the main problems I foresee are that (1) no one like that would want to date me and (2) even if I found someone like that who wanted to date me now then I doubt she would still want to date me when I was old as opposed to just middle-aged.

  Am I so old? It was 65 million back when I was a kid.

  Well, the question was probably disingenuous. There may not be any stupid questions but there are questions intended to start arguments about politics.

  It’s ok, the atoms in the tax forms were also forged in ancient stars.

  I accidentally downvoted myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tig ol bitties⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was either that or a name based on weird details of skull morphology.

  synapsids have a single temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye socket, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for the name “synapsid”

  I’ll take the boobs.

  I’m single, and I eat while playing. The funny thing is that I’m not actually super interested in video games these days but I don’t have much else going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  5.5 hours a day is easy when you have a job if you don’t have anything else going on. I have much more time for games as an adult than I did when I was a kid.

  I think that after Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard a strong argument can be made that the law should not distinguish between a policy designed to favor a minority group and a policy designed to favor the majority group, even if that policy does not take race into account directly.
