Like, are you ever about in public, hear that ding and think “ah yes, homosexuality.”

I think most humans are at least somewhat bisexual. I think for some homophobes (and transphobes), it’s “I have these feelings too, I’m just superior because I’m suppressing it” - at least internally.

“Spiritual warfare” is “I thought about what sucking that guy’s dick would be like for a few seconds, and was able to ‘win’ by not submitting.”

In the US, women couldn’t get credit cards without a co-signer until 1974.

Historically, women had to have a man support them if they wanted options other than poverty. Your grandma probably didn’t have many other options - it might have worked well for her, but that wasn’t a choice made freely.

I think a lot of this is that relationships are a choice now. You have to be someone that someone wants to be with. This is a good thing, but it’s also a hard thing.

It sucks to be lonely and not get laid, but at the same time no one owes you sex or attention.

“Boomer” “Sooner” is an acceptable form of greeting in many parts of the state.

Now, the best tradition is the flag run. I got to be on the side that ran at OU Texas one year. Imagine - 80 thousand people watching while you have a big blue Oklahoma flag draped around you like a cape - knowing that in just a second you are going to haul ass like a madman, have to quickly turn around, pivot and then make her wave.

I hate both Oklahoma and football, but that was fun.

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food. Realistically, there’s going to be some no matter what food producers do.

Here’s some of the rules for basically everything but dairy. Although you might not want to read them.

Dairy is so complicated that they have a searchable database. I found a couple of numbers for bacteria counts, but it seems to be an “it varies.”

First photographs of humpback sex was gay sex.

By Darwinism, homosexual behavior makes sense. Competition for resources (both reproductive access and food) leads to aggression, but a species where all the males kill each other will lack biodiversity. Physically weak male cuttlefish will camouflage as female to allow stronger get males to release on them, and then go take a female after. Things like this don’t happen unless they are beneficial. Bisexuality just makes sense, animals don’t give a shit about religions or morals and sex feeling good is going to be heavily selected for in most sexual species (notable exceptions being feline and ducks - the penis like thing that comes out of a cloaca is fucked up.)

Territory of the UK… so presumably same rate?

Paul Goldstein, the photographer who captured the images in Kenya's Maasai Mara reserve in August, said many other species are known to engage in such behavior and that, for example, he had seen giraffes doing it.

"It was just a dramatic thing to see," Goldstein said of the male lions. He was astonished by Mutua's remarks, declaring it "not normal" and attributing the behavior to demonic possession, or copying what he clearly believes is amoral human behavior.

"These animals need counselling, because probably they have been influenced by gays who have gone to the national parks and behaved badly," said Mutua. "I don't know, they must have copied it somewhere or it is demonic. Because these animals do not watch movies."

"The demonic spirits inflicting in humans seems to have now caught up with the animals," the film classification board director said. "That is why I will say isolate the crazy gay animals."

He’s already on an island in the middle of the ocean that’s so remote it wasn’t even occupied when the Europeans took it. St. Helena is where they sent Napoleon to try to keep him away.

No fault divorce doesn’t mean “instant and easy.” It just means you don’t have to give a reason. My divorce took about a year - although I guess that’s because after he kicked me out he refused to file and took my money lol.

What I don’t understand is why you would marry someone you hate. He had ‘No Children’ played at our wedding, despite me asking him not to.

 

This was a 90’s Japan only console that only saw 11 games released. (Main claim to fame is that a FF developer worked on a game that was kinda sorta Animal Crossing-like)

It was targeted and marketed to girls specifically. It had features to print stickers and make stills from videos, with a video capture accessory - which does seem pretty cool.

 

I’m drawn to places like Minnesota and Chicago, but lower cost of living might be my only realistic options with the economy and the helldebt my ex saddled me with.

I’m just looking to teach like high school math in a place where I can afford a one bedroom without roommates. Somewhere I could hop on public transport to pick up my T prescription, or even have it delivered. Where I can be stealth but also it not really matter whether I am or not.

Where should I go?

 

Spent 15 minutes making an Upwork account, but in order to apply for any of the jobs I have to pay money up front? What the fuck?

 

It is roughly three feet away from me.

Complications: if I scoot or stand in most of the ways that I can conceive of accessing it, this hastens the heat death of the universe by increasing my metabolic rate and consumption of energy, I think.

As a negative utilitarian, I feel my best moral decision in this moment is to go back to sleep. However, the television is off and I cannot sleep without a twelve hour video on banned Yugi-oh cards. (Pot of Greed assuages my concerns about thermodynamics some, I think.)

How do I turn my tv on?

 

Anyone got a super short and easy project to learn how to do cables on?

 

tfw old enough to remember the time Duke was the joke instead of Half Life 3

 
 

Several boards down as of today.

 

This is a short little video game about three aliens on a dying world. It’s creepy and surreal in some ways, but it works as a metaphor for hope - it is something that I keep returning to with anxieties related to climate change.

Our three different aliens’ lives are dedicated to caring for children, learning new things, and personal expression through a game. Our scientist character accidentally triggers an apocalypse, and the world starts falling apart.

The beauty of the game is that the characters keep going. The last little “obstacle” course you do in the game has world bending black holes in it - you’re even told it’s dangerous but your little bug insists on playing anyway. What does it mean to “win” when the world is ending?

Like - there is no happy ending. The world will end, everyone dies. But while everyone is alive, there are things to do, thing to enjoy, things to celebrate.
