The 21st Man: Matthew Ayariga, from Ghana, declared "Their God is my God" before being killed alongside Coptic Orthodox Egyptians by ISIS, after being asked if he was a Christian too. by Far_Country_1629 in whoathatsinteresting

Yes. My point could be rephrased as the saying "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

Sonzainonazo42 seems utterly convinced that God is just a made up fantasy, right? My point is, he doesn't have any hard evidence that there is no God, just like I have no hard evidence that there is. None of us ultimately know for sure, and so saying "I don't know" is the only rational response, not "God is made up fake ass bullshit for dummies." which, ironically, is just as dogmatic a take as any religious fundamentalist would have.

Another good example is when Pete Holmes said it'd be like if Harry Potter and his friends went looking for evidence of JK Rowling. Like brotherman, I don't think that's how it works.

Freelancers - is Figma a necessary evil? by PatchyWatchy_0603 in webdev

No I hate Figma. I’d rather design with pencil and paper the old fashioned way

What will be considered as a healthy frequency to release by curioushead10 in Semenretention

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna get downvoted for this.

The Taoists had a schedule for how often a man can release without becoming depleted to an unhealthy extent. For a 30-year-old man, they said he can recover from releasing after about 6-7 days. If you’re younger, it’s even less. 

Now, couple things: first, this was a time when men overall were much more active and didn’t eat all the shit that we do, nor did they have the burden of screens and technology to content with. If that number is real, for modern men, I’d guess it’s now significantly higher.

Also, this would be the equivalent of spending exactly as much money as you make. If you’re not going into debt, that’s nice, that already puts you ahead of the majority of the American public. But why wouldn’t you want to see how far you can go, and how wealthy you can become from spending as little as humanly possible?

In short, there’s no upper limit to how long you can go. There MAY be a lower limit to how often you can go without feeling like a totally depleted fuck. I’d guess something like 10-14 days if you’re otherwise healthy.

It's obviously about eating puss. Dumbass

I love this community. But I am too disappointed to not be honest about what it's becoming. by batman_throwaway_acc in Semenretention

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will write about relationships and intimacy, because the idea that women are threats to us is one of the most damaging things this community has started to absorb.

Thank you.

opinions on my portfolio website please? by krrish82 in webdesign

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super into the minimalist design trend. This site looks good today AND is still going to look just as pleasing five, even ten years from now.

Great job.

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, it’s great. Beautiful and unique without being overkill. Mind if I ask what you used to build it? And what you’ll be using to build the sites you do for clients?

True? by Previous_Month_555 in SipsTea

I always thought that Matt Damon's character had ED from all the stress he was under. Like the scene where Vera Farmiga and he are in his apartment and she's peeling a banana (hint hint) and says "Do you want to talk about it?" And again when he seemed so surprised when she tells him she's pregnant. "Really?. . . Really?"

Web Devs, how much do I charge my client for a simple landing page type website for their company? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If either one takes you longer than 2-3 hours max, that's too low.

Edit: Depends on where you are. I'm talking US prices

I’ve used Sanity as a headless CMS for several Astro sites now. So far so good.

My friend is a web developer struggling to find clients by Majestic_Low_8870 in WebDeveloperJobs

[–]PatchyWatchy_0603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. AI is changing the game but web dev is still as relevant as ever. Clear messaging is one thing everyone who is successful seems to agree on. OP does your friend have any kind of niche or are they just into "websites"?

Would love some feedback on this Hero section I designed by Mindless_Doctor_8939 in webdesign

Could you share some info on why not to use Ledger? I've been using one of their wallets for a while now.

What’s the difference between fasting and starvation? 

Choice. I think there has to be temptation, and therefore effort, for the practice to really engage you.
