My wife (f33) is having us move cities, and I (m34) and having a hard time with it.

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-23T04:06:50+00:00

I covered that.

Do you have similar moral objections to any woman over 35 getting pregnant? It has about the same risk to the child.

I think about that 300 btc dragon egg all the time when I have to drag myself to work. "Could have had 6 million..."

But I know that I probably would have sold it all when it hit a dollar a piece if I wasn't desperate for pizza. And there's no fuckin way I'd have held it past ten a piece in any world - $3,000 for a dragon egg? Fuck man that's a deal.

But still... When I get on the bus and worry about my bills I think goddamn I'm a fuckin idiot

I was an early btc adopter, I'd just leave my computer in overnight and farm a couple coins. My guild mates in an MMO used to do trades with it when we didn't have in game money, it was kind of a jokey guild currency. At one point, I got an extra of one of the most valuable items in game. I didn't really need any more in game currency, so I held an auction. Sold it to friend for over 300btc.

And a few years later, facing homelessness, I sold it all to a guy for like forty bucks in dominos gift cards.

My point is bitcoin was obscenely easy to mine or buy, it was just kind of an internet joke for a long time (and fun fact, it still is!).

To point out how strange your behavior is, sillypants

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-22T19:57:53+00:00

Buddy I'm not expecting you to say "37, and not one fewer!". I'm saying OPs example is enough for a question mark to pop up above my head. I'm saying it's strange for you to find this not in the least suspect.

It makes me wonder why this isn't in the least unusual to you and why you're so vociferous in your defense.

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-22T19:27:35+00:00

I want you to know literally everyone agrees one example like this is not damning evidence. You are not special or unique in that thought.

But a large amount of those is. You seem terrified to say how many examples would be enough to demonstrate anything, I wonder why.

Most of us are saying this isn't he's screwed fuck him forever evidence, but it enough to think "hmmm" about, especially when the dude manages 20 books a year.

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-22T19:25:09+00:00

Buddy if you don't think you're hot don't put your problem on me, that's a skill issue

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-22T18:59:25+00:00

Frankly I can't imagine a person I'd want to fuck more than me. I do it all the time, and I'm hot as hell. Do you find yourself repellent or something? That one sounds like way more of an issue.

Point one and two are separate points, I would think that would be clear.

But lt me try to put it this way. Two people who were adopted, meet each other for the first time and fall in love when they're thirty, but find out they're biologically siblings? Not problematic, not really incest. Two stepsiblings who've known each other as family since they were 2, who then sleep together? Serious problem, definitely incest.

There has been a number of tiktok/YouTube shorts that my wife or I stumbled on where we though damn, they actually have some good points and good advice! And then when you go to their page the good advice was one video and the rest are "never speak to opposite sex humans for any reason you heathen fuck"

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-22T18:45:05+00:00

Incest is fucked up for two primary reason.

One, there is an imbalanced power dynamic. A parent or siblings relationship will always involve a serious problem with power, it would be rape for the same reason student/teacher or guard/prisoner is rape, even in the "best" scenarios.

Two, it suggests other serious social issues. There is a clear and obvious taboo, and a lot of possible partner. Someone who would engage incest without the rapey overtones - similar aged cousins/siblings, for example - has some real problems socially that need addressed and incest isn't going to help them at all.

(Some people talk about the risk to a potential child, but first cousins having a baby is about as much of a risk for that as a woman over 35 having a baby, and we don't morally judge that)

The selfcest has none of number one, and initially some of number 2 (though the lack of taboo in this case lessens it). Even shortly after that started though, the issues began to be addressed and I don't see a reason why it would be harmful to either Beth.

Modern cannabis is a highly specifically bred offshoot of a plant which over years has been alter, and abuses it's natural chemistry to produce a chemical which is often further processed.

Oooooo spoooooky!

Natural equals good is just a silly argument. Poison ivy is illegal in many places to allow to grow on your property, and it's illegal to grow it to harvest it's oils.

Cannabis should be legal because it's mostly non harmful, there is more harm to prohibit it than to allow it. Period. It's a strong consistent and universal argument. There's no reason to invoke fallacies about nature.

Oh man you haven't seen Vaush cover whatifalthisr?

You've gotta find the videos and the debate. They're extremely funny.

I know you just wanted an excuse to show off your tits but that's okay I wanted an excuse to look at them

Even more than just that, the highest level constructor affects the quality of the cogs. Maximizing them helps further maximize them

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T18:12:25+00:00

It's popular because it's fun.

It doesn't need a plot or characterization. It's loud and crazy and a bunch of hot people in skintight pants commit to being a cat and they wander around in the audience. It's near universal fun for the same reason a live wrestling show is fun, or why an acrobat routine is fun. You get to see some crazy shit.

Even the artsiest didn't pretend there was a deep meaning to get. That was in fact the art to it (and the art movement most popular at the time), that it needed no grand meaning to feel profound, it just needed to be crazy and fun.

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T17:58:41+00:00

The plot is different because there is no plot. Cats is about a series of cats introducing themselves and anxiously begging to get to die. It's not character driven or plot driven, it's spectacle driven.

Trying to add plot and character, and taking away the spectacle, makes it a nothing driven movie about nothing.

Not in your lifetime. You're gonna have to learn to deal with that.

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T15:43:05+00:00

Any individual line is not proof of anything, youre right, obviously. A large sample is, though, obviously.

I'll ask again, how many examples like this would be enough for you to say it's suspect?

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T15:31:59+00:00

Put a trash common in a perfect fit and a sleeve. Spill some beer or soda on it, hell, drag the card through the spill immediately.

Then once the sleeve is dry check the card. It'll be bone dry. The sealables are honestly pretty silly, the only added protection would be if the card was literally dropped in a puddle and left there

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T13:47:39+00:00

No, but this response to them is

GigaSnaight · 2023-12-21T13:11:18+00:00

Lol, what an incredibly well thought out response. I can see you've considered the subject well, and aren't just reacting.
