I don’t think much of it unless it’s an unsolicited opinion.

Some guys do it to signal they’re not down with unfair beauty standards for women. Misguided, but their heart’s in the right place.

Otherwise it’s not much different from how I always say “I like a man in sweatervest.”

Me and my gay/trans gang were driving out for a gay hike when one of us saw two women holding hands and was so delighted, shouted LESBIANS! so loud the lesbians spooked and stopped holding hands.

I had to amend my will because of this.

If my corpse doesn’t get shoved into the crematorium slathered in dorito juice I’m gonna screech cosmic truths in the nightmares of my loved ones.

:(

I’m talking (mostly) out of my ass here, but it’s probably because calling them “child sex dolls” might be seen to normalize the concept of sex with children. Since AI child porn is illegal, makes sense that a child sex doll is, too.

edit: Looks like there’s a thing in Australian law where they are legally considered sexual abuse material.

I don’t think either of us are saying it should happen. It was more of a tongue in cheek joke about how paedophiles are being used to justify censorship, identity politics and restrict freedoms.

I’m too lazy to look it up at the moment but some governments were looking into ways to tag everything made on a 3D printer so it could be traced back to an owner, but that was because of ghost guns. I don’t agree with that, either.

Downvoting doesn’t bother me. Feels like you took a hard left with this whole “If you’re thin-skinned, then leave” thing.

I like to see downvotes, they show me if people hate something versus not being interested. If someone is downvoting everything, the community isn’t for them. Opinions and disagreement are good, trolling is not.

I’m definitely not going out of my way to conduct unpaid market research about it.

This is a good point. I used to share a studio with an entrepreneur who 3D scanned people’s parts to make home printed molds for custom candles.

With manufacturing becoming more decentralized it’s only a matter of time before people can print their own.

It’ll probably be used as a reason to license and monitor 3D printers.

Don’t get me started on paedo bait anime.

I used to help moderate a porn app, had to leave for my own sanity. Got hard to tell if I was blocking legit perverts or people so isolated and brain rotted they forgot what an adult woman was supposed to look like. Too much darkness either way.

More information from Australia, if anyone’s as morbidly curious as I was. Do not click unless you crave depression.

He looks really happy. I wish him well.

The cheat is oatmeal and coffee for breakfast.

Fast-Poop Oatmeal

In a pot or microwaveable bowl mix:

1/2 cup large flake oats

1 tbsp flax seed meal

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup milk

pinch of salt

Boil and serve with fruit, cinnamon and nuts.

Yes, I know, which is why I brought up the idea of inconsistent physics between universes.

I’m not questioning whether the paper’s math is accurate. We both seem to agree the hypothesis can’t be proven in the first place.

I am treating it as a thought experiment, which is why I’m questioning how math can prove a negative to a fairly ambiguous question in the first place.

It’s in the realm of disproving determinism and flying spaghetti monsters.

What is the main point of the thought experiment?

If we consider a possibility from all sides, then whether or not we could similate a universe that follows different physics is one of those sides. We don’t have the power to do that, but we can create programs that simulate different physics. Stands to reason that not every universe may follow the same fundamental laws.

I don’t agree that it’s equally unlikely to be the first as the last, either, if the universes branch off. A tree has thousands of leaves and only one trunk.

Doesn’t this assume all universes follow the same physical rules?

I can poop in under a minute and it only takes one wipe.

Yes! This is called 5BX if anyone wants to look for books and modern resources. There are apps for it, too.

Those are very small condoms. Are we sure they’re not for the pokemon?
