This is just an AI propagandist trying to normalize the idea. It’s entirely hypothetical about how a therapist could use AI, there’s nothing to suggest anyone actually is.

There is nothing they could possibly slap into a ‘smart ring’ that would make it worth wearing a battery around my finger.

Certainly doesn’t help that it’s ugly as hell.

Your comment would make more sense if we weren’t talking about industrial monoculture crop production. Honeybees are certainly important in a broad sense (though not to any ecosystems in the US, they are not a native species after all), but they are not involved in the production of these ingredients, and the original image is wildly misleading (though obviously made with good intentions).

A lot of that is just age too. From my experience, once you get past your mid 20s the constant hornyness dies down. I’m in my late 30s and I still love sex, but it’s not a need in any capacity.

I can understand the aversion, especially when it is so ever present in our society.

The thing is, why shouldn’t it be? Sex is completely normal, natural, and frankly incredibly important to us as a species. It’s only slightly less important than eating and breathing. Not necessarily on an individual level, but as a collective. Sex is the reason every single one of us exists today.

Unfortunately many religions like to use it for control, they connect it to shame, evil, weakness, corruption. They work very hard to make something that is inherently beautiful into something their followers fear and hide from, leading them to engage in deeper cultural taboos. After all, if watching porn is already a sin, and all sins are equal, then there’s no difference in looking at the Venus de Milo or watching graphic rape. This criminalization of normal sexuality is incredibly depressing to me.

Anyway, at this point I’m just rambling about my own issues. I do hope that you come to find peace with it, even if it never appeals to you personally.

I’d have to know what a ‘normal’ person is to recognize one, and it’s a concept that just fundamentally doesn’t make sense to me. What does a ‘normal’ fingerprint look like?

Really? I don’t think I ever have.

It’s not meat.

It’s cars and planes. We know this because we observed a drastic drop in air pollution in both 2008 (following the financial crash) and March 2020 that can be attributed to basically the entire planet no longer commuting and traveling.

It’s both, and a handful of other industries. The tiny blip of dropped emissions during covid did absolutely fucking nothing to help air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s just feel-good bullshit the media spread around. Travel is a significant portion of ghg emissions, very comparable in impact to meat production.

Evolution does not ‘advance’, that’s a very commonly repeated fallacy. Organisms change and adapt to their environment, but what is ‘better’ or ‘worse’ is entirely dependent on that environment, which can easily change. Asperger’s is no more an ‘advancement’ than red hair or sickle-cell anemia.

I agree that classing all forms of Autism as a disability or negative trait is absolutely foolish. But believing it to be superior is equally foolish. People are diverse, and some better adapted to this life, this society. You perhaps see Asperger’s as a better adaptation to how you perceive society ‘should be’, which is relatable to me.

Tomorrow I believe, they’re all being presented this week.

There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.

Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it’s just rage bait…

Don’t give him credit for TFA. That film set the entire trilogy up for failure with its opening crawl. There was no future for the sequels as soon as he decided to make a shitty ANH remake.

It’s both, people don’t draw inspiration from just one thing. It’s also Hidden Fortress, but that doesn’t make the WW2 elements any less relevant. Star Wars is about the fight against fascism and imperialism in many forms.

How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That’s just a wild criticism.

And the game you’re talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it’s entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.

It did hurt Bud Light pretty massively for a while there. They still haven’t recovered their market share.

That’s literally the only example I can come up with.

I mean, Germany is doing alright these days from what I understand.

Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re talking about, did you not read the rest of that post?

It really always has been. I mean The Office itself is a remake already. Everything builds on other works, some more directly than others. I genuinely don’t think it correlates much with quality overall.

Yeah I absolutely do not care about that. I also won’t bother to get a 4k TV until I get some banger clearance deal or something because it does not fucking matter. I grew up on tube tvs dude, anything that isn’t fuzzy is golden. Most of what I’m playing is either indie or ancient, and seeing giant pixels in perfect clarity does nothing to improve the experience.
