  • Oh, that's interesting. It never occurred to me to think the sound might vary. Does ici mean anything, or is it just a noise?

  • Never understood the dumbass pspsps thing. It's annoying and I've pretty much never seen it work. What always has worked for me is to chill just a little ways away and completely ignore them. Just as non-threatening as you can make yourself if you were a piece of furniture left out on the sidewalk.

    From personal experience, cats hate being made to do things and don't come when called unless they already know you and like you a lot. But they also loathe being ignored and will snoof right over shortly to the one person being completely indifferent to them.

    This would be the same reason they seem to mercilessly hunt anyone with a cat allergy. Your perceived dislike of them shall not stand!

  • On the other hand, among women with five years or longer of follow-up, those with a high carbohydrate intake of more than 65% had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. No clear association was observed between refined or minimally processed carbohydrate intake and the risk of mortality in women.

    For fats, men with a high fat intake of more than 35% of their total energy from fats had a higher risk of cancer-related mortality. They also found that a low intake of unsaturated fat in men was associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality.

    In contrast, total fat intake and saturated fat intake in women showed an inverse association with the risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality. They concluded that this finding does not support the idea that high fat intake is detrimental to longevity in women.

    So, hesitantly, keto is terrible for men but fine enough for women? Like we weren't already outliving them in general. I'd just be dying to know why, though. You don't just casually tell me dietary requirements noticeably differ by sex and then never elaborate

  • That was one of the things I miss most about Boost. The ability to tag users was so nice both as a way to keep track of and remember nice facts about users I routinely interacted with in private subs, and to stop myself from bothering to argue with someone I've previously titled "depressing incel" or "autism vaccines."

    Made reading what they said easier to bear, even, with the constant reminder that it's being typed by someone who drinks piss or whatever

  • Hey, now. If not the capabilities of the soviets, at least they're still using the same tech.

  • If we wanna get pedantic, everyone in that version of the afterlife goes to the same place anyway. Different areas, definitely different experiences, but Elysium is very much still a circle of Hades.

    Which is a much more...depressing if realistic interpretation, since it basically means "all dogs die."

  • How are they so docile, though? I'm not familiar with the course of action for sedating wild bats and it would be hard to believe you could just reach up and grab one

  • Because this is the internet and one can never be certain of anything, I need to know that you have some idea of the severe emotional isolation that creates dysfunctional abusers and that people who have only ever socialized with (and even prefer) something that physically can't reject them are not wonderful dating partners. Please say psych.

    There is no problem we are going to fix by distancing ourselves even further from each other, especially not a social one. It is insane. It won't end well.

  • Just the nine, though? That's only like 1.8 stabbings per day for me, tops. I could take being stabbed a little under twice for the whole day, and then the stabbing part's over til tomorrow.

  • Ok, explain. Link me. I've been turning this over in my head. I cannot fathom what "fabric artist trading card" could possibly be

  • The last relationship I had was 1,185.9km (1,171mi) away and we were together for four and a half years. I mean, yeah, the commute at the start was a day's endeavor and had to be a whole weekend trip or nada, but you make it work or you don't.

    You're really gonna pass up quite possibly your whole future like that based on a ride that wouldn't even take me out of my state? That used to just be my standard drive to college, one-way? For less than the distance it would take me, living in a coastal area, to reach the ocean, you will die alone

  • This is acceptable. I love chicken and hate Ted Cruz

  • Oh, that's what that was about? I honestly just assumed Starry was some crap knock-off that the restaurant just happened to have that day. Not really sure what the motive would be or why they'd expect the reaction to rebranding a nearly 20yr old product would be any other assumption. I'm going to disagree with them. They should be glad I'm not calling them Sprite.

  • I did absolutely call it. I still don't understand why he surrendered, any more than I understood it then. Even a normal leader isn't going to take kindly to that shit, let alone Putin? You win or no one ever finds what's left of you, and there is no other option. He was far too smart not to see that was the bet he was making, but he just...turned around and went home anyway? It was bizarre.

  • Even if they weren't wrongly convicted. Murderer happens to follow any one of the religions that forbid pork? What's feeding them bacon going to accomplish, exactly? It's purely out of spite when the object is supposed to be to discourage reoffending. Treating people humanely makes them act human. Call them a dog and they'll act like a dog.

    Even the more progressive can be like this. People have weird ideas about human worth being something measurable and thus rescindable.

  • Impacting the plebeian workforce in a way that's felt even harder than today's inability to afford kids? Yeah, this is gonna be mocked and regulated out of existence for sure.

    It'll look like moral reasoning, but the fewer workers exist, the more bargaining power all of them have against the rich. See the scarcity of laborers during the black plague triggering the end of feudalism.

  • Without question. The ability to have sex with something isn't going to prevent them from being socially dysfunctional and would, if anything, make it noticeably worse. You're getting off, but you still have issues talking to the other sex. They're just easier to avoid addressing now and your dolls don't demand basic respect.

    I don't think I'd come out too much against it, personally. People got biological imperatives, I'm not gonna protest against dildos. But the financial and mental health crises both remain and can't be circumvented like that.

  • You missed the heel she has on the top of the four-toed one, around where her ankle meets. Foot's reversible.
