Vanta black face is only 2d racism.Which is a measurable amount, but incomparable to 3d racism.

I hear genes couldn't have changed as fast as shortsightedness has risen. I've heard bright light like from the sun helps certain systems shape the eyes and as we've rapidly become indoor folks myopia has risen.

Make sure they are a fiduciary

I was referring to the commenter's last sentence

I feel like if you grew enough to have a visible eatable mass it would be pretty goopy.

Though dried would be curious.

That would be a really cool feature

I'd say if anything the AI only suffers during trainig, as I'm pretty sure that's what pain is for: learning what not to do.

This is really dope. I try to do open source music and this is an amazing list of resources.

I use it for my microbe videos. I really just do basic editing and color grading. I like it a lot. You can look at my post history if ya wanna see the videos.

I think we're pretty nice. Though I can get a little hot sometimes I think we all try to keep in mind we are talking to real humans (most of the time lol).

My girlfriends phone was having issues connecting to self hosted servers, so I set her DNS from private to network default. Hope this helps any android users that may have issues.

What does worked mean? Usually gotcha questions don't convice people from my experience.

For sure! Incase ya didn't look too close its a meta study from 2000 and mostly self report data. The study admits it would've been impossible to control for culture.

Given that the data is over a quarter century old or older and culturally influenced there's for sure some wiggle room with how much it applies today.

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't do this earlier. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1207/S15327957PSPR0503_5

I'm convinced. A quick google and a bit of a read and I feel I have a grounded take. Men desire sex more frequently and likely more intensely in western countries.

I thought this was going to be about "the fuck"

Your faith in business is strange to me. Sorry you couldn't convince me. Some things I can be convinced of, but I have a higher bar for my evidence. I'll stick with a confident "I don't know who's hornier."

You can have any bar for your evidence ya want. I just think ya look a little silly being so convinced lol.

See ya around.

For your proposition of equal horniness to be true, one of two must be true: A)women are so repressed they don't even want sexual materials in which case, even if it's cultural and not biological, women are functionally less horny or B) they are so terrified that someone will bust in and search their web history which seems kind of a bizzare amount of repression.

This is an extremely uninspired list. Let me help.

1. Women could be put off from watching porn when first introduced due the male centered industry and generally less acceptance of their sexual expression leading to longer term differences in how they get their fix.
2. The smut industry while not as lucrative could produce more sexual stimulation per dollar. I know there is a lot of pirating in the smut community. And books take a while to get through.
3. Porn sites may not capture gender from their user base perfectly.
4. Again, there are a lot of ways to get off for free. Any women could get on a dating app and get their fix in half a day.
5. Women centered porn sites may not make as much per view.

I could keep going, but its becoming more work. My point is that there is way too much wiggle room in the money argument. You just can't account for how our culture affects their expression unless you've studied it.

Economics is much better for studying how money moves. Idk why we would use it to try and generalize the experiences of a group. It is exceptionally indirect and biased. It is a silly thing to use as a foundation for that kind of belief.

Edit: removed snarky comment, I was feeling a bit hot

Edit: just stumbled on this video, but its whole point is about how the different genders interact with sex differently: https://youtu.be/Qfpj5qQr9KA

I think any large platform will need to moderate, and moderation is gonna be biased and human.

Saying American's on Lemmy hate the vales America stands for is quite an assertion. That means your idea of what 'America sands for' isn't sensetive to everyone in America. I'd think on what that means about how you construct your idea of the nation.

A nations vales are necessarily diverse. Even if founding documents or what not says otherwise. Those documents don't represent everyone and they are not infallible.

I don't think you can hate a countries values because a country doesn't value as one entity. My values are American values even if we disagree.

Maybe try and join things in your local community. They likely think more like ya want, and may have just the mix of opinions you disagree with that ya want.

Maybe you need to make your own community? I'm also pretty sure there are some right leaning Lemmy instances, so I feel like a middle ground may exist for you somewhere.

I agree that it can look like that at a glance, but why would we expect spending to reflect horniness when sexual expression is less accepted for women in many rich countries? Can you say to what degree that affects it? They may feel just as much hornyness and express it more privately. How can you be confident?

I admit, that if you look at the economic you presented, men spend more on sexual stuff. That is a fine conclusion. But it says very little to me about who is more horny.

Homie idk how many times I gotta say it. I'm agnostic to who's more horny. I get why I seem stubborn.

You can believe what you want. Your evidence is too indirect to convince me.

I really think we're arguing slightly different things though. Like it is even important for me say wealth inequality in the world means that sex spending better represents rich countries interests? Therefore has a very very large cultural bias. Not abstact, real cultures are different. Lots of people are unaccounted in your metric, and lots of peope are extremely over counted.

I can be convinced, you just haven't done it. I am not confident the data is out there. Spending definitely has too many flaws to be a good indicator.
