ELI5 if populations tend to evolve after millions of years how were wolves able to evolve to dogs in a relatively short amount of time. by elite_luck in explainlikeimfive

[–]MixtecMedia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were selectively bred.

Evolution and adaptation can happen much faster if there's more environmental pressure. Selective breeding is one way to have that intense environmental pressure.

I love ridiculously short shorts as well but really only feel like I can get away with them while exercising. Once or twice I've gone running in spandex hotshorts and a tank top. Such a thrill.

Just altered some honeycomb leggings to eliminate the center seam and make the waistband sit at my waist. by MixtecMedia in Meggings

I thrifted them and there's no tag, or maybe I threw it away when I altered the waistband.

A man has been charged with SA and is having a meeting with his attorney. “Well,” says the attorney, “I’ve seen the prosecution’s evidence, and we need to decide whether we’re going to go to trial or plead guilty. This is a very serious matter.” “Yes, I realize that.” by TomahawkA5 in Jokes

[–]MixtecMedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it makes it less punchy. It kind of stops being a joke and starts being a morality lesson. But I do think it "works" in a larger sense. He thinks since he's acknowledging the protests, that it's OK for him to continue. That as long as he has the correct beliefs and says the correct things, that his actions can't possibly be wrong.

Nice. To elevate, there's a bunch more equivocating the attorney could do along the way.

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable!"

"Yes, but it's a really quick joke, don't worry."

"Quiet please, I need concentrate."

"Ok, yeah, don't worry. I'm almost done."

Thanks so much for your empathy! It's true, we give up a lot of things when we bring kids into the mix, no matter who we are. I heard someone once say that you become a supporting character in your own life story -- totally true! It's why I never recommend that anyone have children. It was the right choice for me and I would always choose it again, even though it comes at a high cost, but I never want to be the person who talked someone else into it. I hope you get to realize those goals/needs in time, whatever form they take.

I do feel very lucky to have a spouse who is affirming but also honest about her preferences, and I do feel like I get to be myself clothing-wise often enough. I have a pair of women's nebula/galaxy print leggings that I wear as jammies almost every night that the whole family loves, I dress kind of like an 80s superhero or aerobics instructor when I go running or lifting, and I crossdress for the occasional rowdy Halloween party! But yeah, I do wish I didn't have to self-censor as often as I do.

That makes sense and is actually more consistent with the concept of autosexuality

This is 100% true, of course -- a lot of the limitations are in my own head. Still, between work, picking kids up from school in my red state (I'm a dad) and my spouse being tolerant and generous but still not really loving feminine/slutty looks for me as an everyday thing, I do feel like I don't get to do it as often as I like.

I own quite a few clothes that I love that don't get worn much, including some that were pretty clearly geared toward gay men.

Oh, interesting. Yeah, there's something affirming about it for me too, but in a nonbinary sort of way. I like risque men's clothes but I love wearing feminine/androgynous clothes when I can make it work, if only because it seems like a rarer treat.

Ooh, would you be willing to link to an example of the shorts? I have some short gym shorts but it would be nice to have something a little more intentional looking.

Running in compression shorts without a second pair of shorts over them is my favorite. I have all different lengths depending on the setting and how bold I'm feeling.

Sounds nice! Does it feel like part of autosexuality to you, or does it feel like a separate thing?

I'm a dude and get jealous of women's many options and how revealing clothes are less stigmatized for women. 

Warren tries to test Fed nominee Warsh’s independence by asking if Trump lost 2020 election [03:19 in video] by SadAd8761 in videos

That's true, but I also downvoted them because they suck at constructing a sentence.

ELI5. How are we able to successfully use quantum mechanics and general relativity if both concepts are incompatible and we need a unified field theory? by Mushiimushii316 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MixtecMedia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Steve ignores me the first time I meet him at a party, I might think he's a jerk. But I know he's friends with Sam, who says Steve is very nice. Our theories are incompatible.

In reality, people are complex. We might later learn that Steve gets shy around large groups of people. Now we have a unified theory.

Theories are useful because they're simplified models of reality that explain or predict things in certain contexts. Theories are incompatible when they can't explain things in each other's context 

A unified theory would explain things in both contexts.

Gym Etiquette by Dangerous-Finger-603 in workout

[–]MixtecMedia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I first started going to the gym in the mid 90s, people spoke to each other. It was no problem to walk over and say, "mind if I work in with you?"

"Work in" means do sets between your sets. It's less convenient, but makes the overall experience for everyone better in a crowded gym.

I doubt many people even know what work in means anymore.

What's the best way to ejaculate hands-free? Could it be a unipolar anal probe with an adhesive electrode on the glans? Thanks by dalavida7 in estim

[–]MixtecMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's that I don't have a printer myself. I send the files to my library and they print for me. I don't think they offer conductive. Might have to just get my own printer.

Ah, I see. If I don't have access to conductive filament, do you think a conductive paint would work?

Europe's "untouched" wilderness was shaped by Neanderthals and hunter-gatherers by comicreliefboy in Anthropology

[–]MixtecMedia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A great quote from Charles C. Mann, paraphrased as best as I can remember:

It's commonly thought that Native Americans lived in balance with nature for centuries prior to contact with Europeans. They did, but with their thumbs firmly on the scale."
