I hate to say this but this is part of why Wegovy is working for me. It gave me the sense of being hungry, not hungry, and full. Also no sugar crashes when I go too long without eating.

I'm not pimping for semaglutide but some of us clearly don't have this important switch and I'm happy to get it however I can.

Bro your hypothesis is "I feel like it" and your evidence is "You can't prove it's not true" and that's just not how science works.

What we have is evidence (see your damn link to wikipedia) in non-human primates and the "I'm making a sound now to indicate that you should ejaculated for maximum likelihood of impregnation" is pretty solid stuff. There's talk of encouraging fights for better mate selection. What there isn't is talk of "I am doing a sex, please join the train being run on me" no matter how much you feel like it's a valid theory.

Because this is Lemmy and we like anecdotes here, I have one for ya.

A couple years ago, during one of my many attempts to get fit, I went for a walk. At some point between my venturing forth and returning home, a wild turkey had come between me and my home.

I think it was female but I have no idea. The point here is, they're pretty big in person, and I had to decide as I was walking toward it... if the turkey didn't move? What if it charged me? What if it was aggressive, like a goose? I was stunned how unprepared I was to deal with this wild animal that I had apparently been living near for most of my life.

Anyways, long story short, I decided I could take a turkey in a fight. The turkey seemed to know that I had come to that decision, because as soon as I prepared myself to kick a turkey, it got out of my way.

The lesson here is, turkeys read minds, and as soon as you're sure you can defeat the turkey, it will allow you to proceed unmolested.

Just my opinion. Don't sue me if you lose a fight against a turkey. Also, if you lose a fight against a turkey, that just proves you didn't believe in yourself hard enough.

... is the bread fried or the spaghetti?

Dude you extrapolated some crazy stuff about cave woman orgies that are in no way supported by this link.

Thank you for posting this. I knew a woman's orgasm had a purpose in insemination but vocalizations indicating the best time for male ejaculation makes sense.

And about a billion times more sense than some of the nonsense posted in this thread.

Right? What evidence?

"The evidence being that it makes my pants feel funny when I think about it." - Some scientist, probably

Now, this is a man who knows how to marry his cousin!

...wow. Didn't know how much I would enjoy getting to say that until now. Elroy! I get it now!

Holy shit. It's been so long since I thought of them.

I'm going to be saying samosa under my breath like I'm correcting someone every time they say mimosa now. To notch humor. Made me laugh out loud.

Most of the English-speaking world has come to know the word "chai" as a specific blend of spices, rather than recognize the word "chai" as a translation of the word "tea." Which means now, in several countries, "chai" means a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and allspice. Give or take some other herbs.

So if you go to a restaurant in the US, for example, and you ask for "tea," you'll get plain tea. If you ask for chai, you'll get tea with those spices.

Sort of how "pumpkin spice" is a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.

Big "bUt ThErE aRe ChIlDrEn StArViNg In AfRiCa" energy. How dare someone complain when things could be worse, right? What an ungrateful dick for wanting better just because the previous generation had that, huh?

The thing about this is, you're saying you have a small dick, but this is big dick energy for real.

Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name for it because it's a very real phenomenon and most of us know exactly what it's referring to.

Thank you!

It's a response I developed explaining to people why men aren't allowed to work alone with women in my field. I often throw in, "If you were a predator, what kind of job would you look for?"

People with developmental and intellectual disabilities are five times as likely to face this abuse as their neurologically typical peers, because many of them can't report that abuse as effectively.

It's my experience that the few men of the world who find this stricture upsetting do so because either they are pretending to be one of the "good" ones in order to get close enough to abuse someone, or because they believe themselves incapable of abuse and chafe at being paint with the same brush. To them I always ask; which is more important to you, that you aren't being seen as a potential predator, or that we have a system designed to keep as many people as possible, as safe as possible? Because we can't have both.

It's a numbers game. I have to deal with the same thing in my field- men are not allowed to provide one-on-one hygiene care (bathing, toileting, cleaning waste) for female adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Since we're talking about children instead of my field, 96% of people who sexually abuse children are male. Even factoring in that female perpetrators might be underreported, that is a stark number, so when people say they err on the side of caution, I'm sure you can see why only using female staff for this job would seem safer.

Are there perfectly healthy, nurturing men who pay the price? Of course. But not as many of them as potential sexual predators it seems.

This is it. This is the crossover I didn't know I've been waiting for.

I had to look it up. And yes. It's real.

The actual story is there's a plan to release grizzlies in a Washington forest to restore the population. The Fox News idiots heavily quoted a spokesman from the National Cattleman's Beef Association (and several other obvious corporate stooges) with very little representation of the other side. They're drumming up how the administration is "introducing" an apex predator to the area, carefully neglecting to mention that this was their natural habitat.

I miss the Fairness Doctrine. I miss the time before the 24-hour news cycle. I miss when the person on TV had an obligation to at least pretend to try to give you the news without editorializing the hell put of it.

I always thought this but with the added twist that the Devil didn't actually lose. He chose to "lose" because he didn't want Johnny humbled. He wanted Johnny and all that pride to go across earth challenging anyone to believe they could be so good as to beat the Devil, inspiring more pride.

This is bananas.

Also why did they focus the story on the son-in-law that way, instead of talking about the murder victim? The murder victim whose mother owned that dress? If you're going to force that connection, the verbiage would be much easier to deal with talking about the victim, her mother, and her husband the alleged murderer.

I bake. I'm known for making birthday cakes for people.

I just made one November the 15th, and that night I was bombarded with "how much would you charge to bake one of these for-?"

Absolutely not. People are bastards. The instant my baking turns from "thoughtful gift" to something owed, I will be stuck with all the bullshit that entails. No thanks. Delicious, complex, mesmerizing bakes and absolutely zero strings attached thank you very much.
