    Is it possible to be a flaming hetero?

    • ...without being homophobic in any way?jagara

    • Only closet gays are homophobicdrgs
    • @drgs I think that's a gross oversimplification (albeit containing truth).jagara
    • Aren't closeted gays heterophobic?
      (I'm not saying they're not justified.)

    • Hmm... maybe? Closeted gays are usually acting homophobic, to insure the world that they're not gay?jagara

    So, we can all agree that bitcoin was bad for the environment.

    So many wasted computational cycles.

    We've not seen anything yet. This world will burn as we consume its worth generating absolute bullshit, via complex ML / pseudo-AI constructs.

    Disreality will become; Swamped awash with high carbon cost fuckallitudes of every and any utterly nonsensical type.

    • I think there are worse things that bitcoin for the environment, bitcoin is an easy target "ponzi, tulips, bad for environment"shapesalad
    • Bitcoin by it's nature, encourages sustainable sources of energy, wasted energy etc, as that's economically encouraged.shapesalad
    • If you can capture wasted energy, or free eco source energy, capture into a form of value - you'd seek it out.shapesalad

    • love that "Bitcoin by it's nature" which just means "Bitcoin uses lots of energy, all the time" :Dkingsteven
    • the fanciful definition 'wasted energy' - which usually means dissipation. here somewhere between 'excess' and ' yet to be harnessed'... wildkingsteven
    • over 60% of generated energy dissipates in to heat through the grid and power transformers before it reaches a mining rig (that turns the rest in to heat)kingsteven
    • believing in bitcoin is a prerequisite to the very belief renewable energy can be wasted (in the way shape portrays). gateway drug indeedkingsteven

    I should've tried, at least once, to get a voice acting gig.

    I think I'd love a job like that.

    I am constantly getting weird incel vibes from omahadesigns and NBQOO. They are so similar in their ignorant treatment / questioning of women's behaviour and posting of videos regarding "Chads" that I can't help both of them represent this meme to a T.

    I want an RTS game based on Lego, with tech trees that sort of follow Lego's evolution, with an aesthetic emphasis primarily concerned with 70s/80s space lego, but ultimately anything goes. You want to mix duplo red block with some ninjago (?) and some 80s lego flowers as a radar jammer? go right ahead!

    You build new units in game as you would normal lego and 'somehow magically' various bits turn into guns or scanners or eyes or whsatever.

    Something like this could be a low-mid level hover tank unit, for instance

    • And obviously when they're attacked they fall apart into their respective lego components, which could be harvested for re-use.Nairn
    • this is more of a million dollar idea. special parts could be included in builds to give them their "powers" or characteristic. combine for fun². inspiringimbecile
    • bridge building would be key. but just custom units but custom structures that could be blown upcannonball1978
    • They tried to make a Lego open world Minecraft rip and it failed once. Maybe again.monospaced
    • This isn't that, but this is at least partly inspired by what Minecraft promises, still, after all these years.. https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn
    • @c1978 - you're quite right, the entire environment should be lego... although small tanks would judder like a mf'er over all those bumps :)Nairn
    • Yeah I know this isn’t that. This would be better than the Lego game they tried rolling out that failed.monospaced

    Whenever some chart or graph comes up that results in a comparison of nations, I'm basically always "Ok, whatever this is – are we better than France?".

    • Germany second, and context-depending, US after. US always beats us, so it's mostly a pointless comparison.Nairn
    • Same for Germany, sorry. Unless it's something I'd rather it wasn't, you guys always tend be ahead. Fuck you too. xNairn

    Just got back from H&M to get some underwear, and — as I was unpacking them to get them into the wash — I happened to glance at one of the packages, where the features of said pants was laid out:

    • Durable fit (Okay, cool, I don't want them to lose their shape, I suppose)
    • Breathable (Excellent, though assumed. If you're selling pants made of non-breathable fabric, maybe you should get out of the underwear business, because you clearly don't know what you're doing)
    • Support (Err ... eh?)

    Why lay this out? Support? Okay, some guys want their package held in place, but I wouldn't call that 'support', as such.

    Testicles are not breasts. They're tiny wee things by comparison, and weigh nothing. They don't necessarily need 'support'.

    I mean, come on. It's a slippery slope from 'support' to 'push-up', and then where will we be?

    'PUSH-UP PANTS, FOR MAXIMUM BALL CLEAVAGE.'

    • On the other hand, since people are tanning their arseholes, I suppose all bets are off, at this point.Continuity
    • Maybe an underwire for the ballsack? Or maybe two little underwires, one for each of the boys?

      This is how you Idle Thoughts, people.

    • And actually, if you're not buying boxer shorts, isn't 'support' assumed anyway? Like, that's the whole point of buying not-boxers, right? Why point it out?Continuity

    • Bro have you even seen an old man’s ballsnb
    • I submit to you, sir, that that's irrelevant. Not-boxers would hold his geriatric scrot in place, as they would a young man's (like me).Continuity
    • We're not trying to lift our 'nads in a show-off position with our undies, you know.Continuity
    • That’s “support”nb
    • Eh. To me, 'suppose' means more 'lift' rather than 'hold in place'.Continuity

    Sigh.

    I wonder how badly us psoriasis suffers will get the evil eye in public, with this whole monkeypox business.

    It's all over my hands.

    • Hadn't thought of that.. will be keeping my psoriasis ridden hands firmly in my pockets for a while!!dee-dubs
    • It's really, really shit, trying to explain psoriasis to people. Tell them it's not contagious until you're blue in the face, and they still won't believe you.Continuity

    I figured that I'd do nairn a solid, and try to find *something* Brits could beat the French at.

    The news is grim, I'm afraid.

    France (erect size): 15.74 cm
    UK (erect size): 13.13 cm

    Sorry. I tried.

    • The Yanks beat you there, too. They have 13.58 cm willies.Continuity
    • Germans, too. They've got 14.52 cm dongs. Sorry again.Continuity
    • Hmm, like anyone would believe a Frenchman's report of the size of his petit saucisson.Nairn
    • And India is infamous for having ickle willies, so I suspect there's some mis-reporting going on over there too.Nairn

    i'm curious as to how this study of penis sizes came to be done.

    i mean, assuming you decide that this is a thing worth doing (really? i mean, really really?), then presumably you have to lay out some ground rules.

    for instance how do you ensure the measurements are taken consistently? was it one person travelling the world with their tape measure, or did they recruit a whole team of measurers. and if so, how was that advert worded? "wanted: penile proportion professionals"? and what sort of person would take on such a job? how were they sure their subject was fully erect each time?

    and once you have assemble your team, if your study is going to be meaningful, then the team all have to be consistent in their method of measuring. were they equipped with a special measuring device - and if so, what does this device look like? (how many were made?) or just given a ruler and a set of instructions as to where to measure from (side, bottom, top, etc etc)?

    and how did this team go about recruiting people to be measured? facebook ads? were the samples large enough to be meaningful statistically?

    etc etc....

    • I imagine there's been workshops for medical staff on the subject. You know, extra training.

    I think Sex and the City did some good making sex more open to talk about, but also put a lot of unrealistic expectations out there. Maybe it was already like this, but the show perpetuated the problem.

    Four young extremely successful women living in New York, dating and dumping guys for often very little reason, while chasing the "perfect guy". They even mention how few eligible single guys there are, and at a few points that they themself may be the problem for not finding mr perfect, they quickly carry on.

    Carrie Bradshaw is obsessed with Mr. Big. But when he doesn't live up to her expectations, by not reacting or saying something other than she expect, she flips out and have a near mental breakdown. She acknowledges this behaviour, but never once seeks to solve it or talk to him about it.

    The amount of times I've meet girls here in Denmark who reefer to someone as "the Miranda" or "Charlotte" of their group just means the show has stayed with a lot of women as something to identify with... which is a problem when its a show about fiction.
