In a puritanical society, vice by nature is a counter-cultural act. Especially when in one of the most hegemonic societies on earth consider sex to be the greatest taboo. This coun…

Honestly, I very much relate to how you've described yourself. And honestly I feel like this correlates to how a lot of relationships work within queer communities as well (which i…

Could also be a consequence of just not having much desire to "mate". It's not unheard of for people to not want to "mate"; there's a reason why asexual is a term that people use t…

The OP reminds me of some of the aromantic and asexual folk I've known. Not necessarily prescribing any label on his account. Just merely a thought based on a particular line is on…

I believe I've seen some comments that may have been LLM-generated. Typically they're top-level, short (1-3 sentences), somewhat on topic, but barely relevant to the conversations …

I'm going to use this comment as a good suggestion for folks reading this thread to look at Jim Lill's youtube channel. He is a down-to-earth gigging musician who goes through the …

There are two phrases I hate to use. Due to their overuse to the point of becoming meaningless. The first is pretentious. Which the OP massively is, they seek to impose the impress…

Personally, I suspect it's autism rather than ADHD (and Inattentive-type ADHD, AKA: ADD). In my experience the people I've known who have just ADHD tend to be better at filtering o…

> Lastly, and perhaps the most disappointing, is I sort of forged myself into this narrow channel of thinking that had me under this spell of distaste for creative pursuits and sur…

Agreeing with this, and likewise I wanna suggest for some coffee drinkers who are skeptical on "coffee nerds" to try a coffee cupping (basically a form of coffee tasting, like wine…

Teen Vogue has actually been something of a respectable journalism outlet for some time. It's not the Post, but it's one of the few outlets I've found respectable journalism when I…

The point is that it is providing an unexpected and novel behavior in spite of having zero programming to produce this kind of output. It's odd and almost implies a kind of self-aw…

I keep hearing about COBOL and how there is demand for it. But I'm wondering if there are any avenues to learning how to write COBOL and get experience writing the kind of code tha…

While I don't disagree with the basic premise ("AI" as a specific falsifiable term is hard to pin down due to the ubiquity associated with the term); I do think there are specific …

The ethical concerns were not just the parental waiver; but rather a number of issues. Such as implicit coercion (i.e. forcing subjects to pay exorbitant fines for backing out of t…

I know that this is not quite what Web 3.0 envisioned (specifically the original ideal of what Web 3.0 proposed; not the Web 3 that was proposed by blockchain proponents) but AI pr…

It seems that the issue is that `January === 1`; so when you get to December (i.e. `12`) it rolls over to 0 rather than remaining as 12.

I mean, from what I know about the gay communists, they love to complain about the misuse of trains. Thanks for the highlight on the man though, he seems like somebody to read up o…

Because since the 1980's, the US government (as well as other western governments) have been dismantling the ability and protections for worker unionization. Thatcher, Reagan, and …

This is a mischaracterization. 4chan was founded as a new place for Something Awful anime fans to post hentai and "loli" content after SA banned such things. It was always about co…

One of the best insights I ever received as to the popularity of Freudian and Jungian psychology in spite of discrediting is how well Psychoanalysis analogues commercial storytelli…

Honestly, I'm genuinely impressed. I even searched something that I would think would trip it up, "transgirl puppycore", and it managed to not only give several songs that are extr…

I would say that Canada managed to stay loyal to the crown because for two major reasons. The first being the founding "myth" of Canada being the British loyalist colonists of the …

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that 88x31 was done because Netscape distributed similar buttons for webmasters to include on their webpages if it was optimized for t…

I believe I have been to the same restaurant you're referring to, and honestly I believe that the WNFA chicken is likely to be a psychoactive substance. I've only had the barest bi…
