  • I'll have you know I can feel, and move, my nuts; they are perfectly healthy and functional as far I can tell. The left one hangs lower than the right, but that's very normal, otherwise they're smashing against each other all the time. I'm pretty sure Jordan Peterson has that, that's why he always sounds like he's about to cry.

    As far as the sniffs go, even if I could avoid it, I don't know that I would choose to do so. The gut biome, as we've all learned, is so so important and we need to use all the information we have to ensure its health. An off-smelling fart can often be the first warning sign of oncoming digestive issues.

  • I'm sure there are places on the Internet where you could sell that "ghost" story, but Lemmy during the runup to the election was like 45%+ people arguing for protest votes and vote abstaining as a means of "punishing" Democrats for a millenia-old religious feud on the other side of the world. Obviously this isn't physical, definitive proof that protest voters and abstainers actually moved the electoral needle for Trump, I'm just letting you know why no one's really buying it here.

  • Ok, if you won't do it, I will: The US has 1,889,780 researchers, with old data and rough math, we'll just round that to 2M. We'll rough-in 30 for "a few dozen", giving us a ratio of 3/200,000 or 0.000015 or 0.0015%. I'll be generous and round up to 0.002%. Far less than one one-hundredth of a percent of researchers is worth establishing an official, named, racist government program? And what did we gain? The knowledge that poor Chinese people will stay poor and undoubtedly get poorer? The ire and distrust of an entire demigraphic of citizens and residents in our own country? More opportunities for white men? A few extra pennies in the pockets of billionaires? Yay, yippee, woohoo, another wonderfully beneficial use of taxpayer dollars from the party of small government. 🙄🙄🙄

    And given what we're seeing with the current federal haterace-based law enforcement programs, we have absolutely no reason to believe those few dozen convicted researchers were actually even guilty of anything. I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if they're not all Chinese. But I'm sure the bigots met their quota, so that's really all that matters. 🙏

  • Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.

  • I metaphorically devour the memory for power. I'm still alive and it's highly likely that I'm the only person on the entire planet thinking about it. Obviously these memories are extremely powerful, but it's not doing me any good if I just feel embarrassed again every time I think about them. Harness that crazy shame energy and try to put it to actual productive use somehow. Just knowing that I can be that embarrassed and be absolutely fine actually gives me more confidence. Simply wallowing in the embarrassment only takes confidence away.

    Edit: Sorry I didn't see you described the whole situation, I was writing very generally. Overall, it still applies. Except that maybe the moment is also replaying in your gf's head for her own embarrassment at unintentionally embarrassing you. It's honestly probably worse for her, at least you're safe in the knowledge that you were misrepresented due to shrinkage lol

  • Idk, he's a Brazilian roller-blading sports-loving DJ...

    I think most likely scenario is he was green and yellow based on the Brazilian flag, green means "go", and there was only one other color left for "heal", so it's yellow.
