I don’t think people are eating at McDs bendy they want it.

We’re eating it because we have no time, and little money. We’re running behind and trying to get somewhere. If we had the time we would be eating at home.

Well, as a human I’ve got plenty of biases, some of them petty I suppose.

Maybe it’s a the curtains are blue situation? Like we attribute all this meaning to art, and we get to guess at whether we’re right, or whether the artist wanted us to be drawn to specific components. We understand that art often has symbolism and that it’s meant to be evocative.

But with AI art, there’s none of that. Whatever meaning I attribute is purely projection - which is often true in regular art too, except that I have a social contract with the artist that we both agree we want me to look at this art and have feelings, whatever they may be. A social contact with a computer isn’t real and feels disingenuous.

Physically unattractive, but a good wink would still pique my interest, but it’s never happened to me. Winking is kind of rare. It’s like proof that they’re fast, clever, and confident, and that they desire a rapport with me.

Yes, the wink has to be paired with something clever, or wise, or nice. Some kind of friendly banter. You’d have to be already attractive to wink out of the blue, but if you’re already attractive and you wink, I’d probably like that too. It’s conveying interest. It’s conspiratorial and playful.

Pizza tastes better, even retroactively, if you find out someone you love made it for you.

A good wink. A guy can be medium attractive or not my type, but if they make a little joke and then give me individually a subtle wink, I’m smitten.

Not talking about a compliment followed by a wink. A joke, and then they let me in on it with them with a wink.

From the APA* “Transgender is an umbrella terms for persons whose gender identity, gender expression or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth.”

Does he think you talked to him on day one of these thoughts? Pretty sure you have a lot if not all of those ten years already logged

This is why people who choose to wear glasses also shouldn’t believe in God. God does not make mistakes! He wanted you to see very blurry! Also people who take vaccines or even just Tylenol. God wanted you to have that pain!

Pretty sure you’re a troll but it’s short for transgender.

Me staring at this for three minutes trying to figure out how this is possibly loss.

I feel happy for your child that they were able to begin adult life so incredibly supported. I wish I could do the same for my kids, and I wish the same had been done for me.

I think one big problem with this is some people end up very entitled. They think it’s easy to “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” when in reality it’s not even possible for most unsupported folks. As long as your kid knows to be humble, that they only got to where they are by the welfare of inheritance, I think what you’re doing is great. They shouldn’t feel bad or guilty about your help, they just shouldn’t judge any choices made by anyone who didn’t have the luxury of all that wonderful support.

I worked three jobs in college, and big surprise I burned out and dropped out with big mental health issues. I earned a full ride, but my jobs didn’t fully cover my food and rent, so I ended up with loans just to get my AA. No bachelor’s degree, and definitely no medical degree. I’m not complaining, just pointing out it’s not that I didn’t work as hard as your kid, or that I wasn’t as smart. I just didn’t have the freedom of choice your child was afforded. I congratulate you for offering that to them.

You can be on lemmy without knowing anything about Linux, open source, federation or defederation. For example, me. A not tech savvy home maker. I ended up here just fine a year or two ago. Lots of people end up here, and if a quarter of the memes are to be believed, plenty of us are broke.

If you can’t taste the flavor of mayonnaise you might be the one with the unsophisticated palate. You’re welcome to say you don’t like it, or that it doesn’t have a good or intense enough flavor, but not being able to discern its flavor at all is a you thing.

Oof it’s been a long time but I thought a lot of the OPA had tattoos on their necks to obscure their surgery scars, I thought it was common. Though maybe it’s different between the book and the show?

And is Tom Jane a typo? I don’t remember that character. Omg just googled it. I was like, I think that happened to Miller? But how could Tom Jane be an autocorrect for Miller?? And it’s his actors name lmao

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but you have to. The doctor prescribes it, and it cleans everything out of your system. By the end, you’re just crapping out the lemon drink itself and you’re squeaky clean for the camera

I’m actually a woman who has been with both circumcised and uncircumcised men.

So when I say it isn’t better looking one way or the other, my opinion may be more objective than yours, seeing as you have a circumcised penis.

Also, for what it’s worth, the best sex had been with an uncircumcised guy, and it’s not even close. Of course that could just be him, we’d need more data to say it definitively.

And once again, I’m very confident that genital mutilation for zero medical reason is not what’s best for any child.

Maybe that’s location dependent? I went to high school in the South and our whole school was outdoors. Like the classrooms were a building, a bunch of rooms in a row, but all the doors opened to outside, and all the hallways were outdoors. Between the cafeteria, the auditorium, and the band room was a big grassy area for people to hang out, and also between each row of classrooms were long lawns. The administration was housed in a regular building, and one set of classrooms had indoor hallways.

That said, the amount of free time shown in shows at school always feels exaggerated. We had a lunch period but no “free period” or “study hall periods.” We also had no indoor seating for hanging out or student lounges. Did your school have those?

I think all the belters had health issues due to their height

You meant to put subjective.

First off, not better looking to me!

Second off, you think we should just cut off every part of our kids that isn’t aesthetically pleasing?

Not all women prefer it! I think that may be a kind of childish thing women say because they don’t know any better! Any time I’ve ever heard a woman say that and asked, they’d never been with an uncircumcised man, so they didn’t really know and were talking out of their ass.

Having been with both types of penis: I don’t care at all, and if I have a son he will not be circumcised.
