  • It’s like cloud strike again

    When The Cloud goes on Strike. Damn it they're just asking for more power, Scotty! Don't let those scabs cross the picket line!

  • I think what a lot of people are missing here it's that it's a dialectic. It can be true that reading is important and it can also be true that reading isn't always the best medium for understanding certain concepts. It's not an either-or situation, rather it's both, at the same time. I'm glad someone else recognizes that as well.

  • McCarthyism is back baybee.

    Or maybe the more accurate reality is that it never left, it was just hibernating.

  • I daresay that's the point. The GOP is finally finishing it's decades-long project to suffocate democracy. They finally now have weakened it enough that it's on it's deathbed, and they're going to smother it with a pillow like Chief Bromden did to Randle McMurphy.

  • Jesus Christ, fuck science and evidence, I guess. There's a reason I included that. But sure, let's go off one assholes anecdote that "ADHD people are the best at multitasking, we thrive at it" and everyone else is just making an excuse for their shortcoming of not having ADHD. Give me a break dude.

    And for another anecdote, literally nobody I know who has ADHD is loved at their job for having it. They all struggle to hold jobs.

  • Re-reading my original comment, I can see how you got that implication. I guess the point is that these men aren't actually compensating for anything, that's potentially a misreading of why they do what they do. Also only men seem to be concerned with the size of their member, in relation to equating it to partners pleasure. It also seems to be mostly other men who want to ascribe the idea that these men are compensating for something, which returns to the idea that mostly only men seem concerned with this issue because men equate "bigger dick" to "women like this." There's a lot of assumptions being played around among the varied groups of men that are all tied to this perception of the size of their penis impacting the pleasure of their lover, and it basically has fuck-all to do with women's opinions on the matter. The men who are seen as "compensating for something" may actually be the men least impacted by these perceptions, ironically enough, because they simply don't care.

  • to multitask with.

    Rule 2 of adulting: Stop trying to multitask. Multitasking is a myth and impossible for humans to actually successfully do. The more things you try to do at once, the less effective and capable you are at each individual task. Literally not a single human alive is actually good at multitasking. I understand you have issues, but whether you like it or not, you're reducing your effective capacity to "get shit done" by choosing to try to do this impossible thing called multitasking.

  • You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole.

  • Have you set up certificates with LetsEncrypt or something similar?

    Since you're running it on your own hardware and obviously have admin privileges, you could try out Certbot:

    https://certbot.eff.org/

    HTTPS requires signed certificates to be able to connect, that's part of the trust provided in the security. Also, HTTPS is port 443 while HTTP is port 80.

  • Also, letting them put incompetent people in charge will make the entire house of cards collapse more quickly, which in turn will help spur change when people get sick of their shit, which will inevitably happen.

  • Actually it doesn't. The point is that their partners pleasure is irrelevant to them. The comment literally says nothing about whether their partner enjoys a big or a small dick, rather that the men's dick size has nothing to do with how the men feel about themsleves and their penis size, because they are self-assured either way.

    To my knowledge, most women don't actually love large dicks at all because they hurt.

  • Honestly, kind of shocked that something like this happened in a right wing shithole like Spokane. Honestly didn't think there were enough decent citizens out there to manage such a large protest. I'll admit, it makes me happy and I look down on Spokane just a little less now. Because usually I just think of it as probably-should-be-in-Idaho.

  • Like someone buying expensive cars to compensate for their smaller dick.

    Just so you know, there's some evidence this isn't actually a thing and that the people who do that kind of thing are actually very self-assured in their penis size. Now, that doesn't mean they have a large penis, it just means they are happy with it and unconcerned with how others feel about it. Which, if you think about it, tracks. Because the guys who drive wanker sports cars or giant fucking trucks usually don't give a shit if their partner feels good, only if they do. So the size of their dick is kind of irrelevant to the whole equation. They could have a tiny dick, they could have a giant dick, either way, they're perfectly fine with it because it's not about how anyone else feels, it's about them getting off and being in control.

    Might take me a while but I'll try to dig up the old /r/science reddit thread about it.

  • endo and pcos are such horrible maladies... I wanted to laugh at this but it just made me wince.

  • Let me let you in on a little secret: television isn't real.

    Only rich asshats get to pretend Portland is still like that.

    A bohemian artist hasn't been able to make solid living and afford rent in Portland since probably a few years before the show even started.

    Anyone else remember the video of Fred Armisen going through downtown Portland surrounded by corporate culture and being like "this is the real Portland"?

    Fucking New Yorkers man.
