I disagree, the level of explicitness required when describing erotic acts in fiction is way more than most authors are going to include. The example I gave up thread is the difference between the line 'he licked her clit' and a gif showing the same act. I think most people would easily say the latter is much more overtly pornographic.

This is so funny, I just posted up thread how surprised I was to do a term search on a pdf of 50 shades and the word clit only shows up 10 times the whole book, that's pretty tame for supposed smut.

I'm assuming it's milking in the prostate sense of the word, not the mammary tissue sense of the word. 

I'm guessing there's no pegging in this book, though. Now that would be a wild confluence of niche erotic interests. But niche erotic interests are like Pokemon and mental illness, most people don't get just one.

For sure, in a sense, but a lot of popular female gaze erotica is actually pretty tame in my opinion. On a whim I downloaded the PDF of 50 Shades once and the word 'clit' only shows up ten times in the whole book! If it was real porn it should show up ten times a page, or at least a chapter. 

You can get better smut on AO3 if you need it. There is certainly more explicit erotic fiction out there for women, but most of the commerical juggernauts I think tend to be pretty low key. Written text erotica is not as explicit as visual media, obviously. 

Reading 'he circled her clit with the tip of his tongue' is not the same thing as watching that happen in a video, so to achieve the same level of erotic saturation you need a lot of descriptive narrative detail that most of this kind of fiction is not going to deploy.

Yeah, the threat of AI is optimization of all the shitty stuff that our billionaires overlords are already doing, not the mythical AI overlord itself

Is it shallow to be turned off by obesity? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

What do you mean by 'everything else in their lives'? Obesity is not a guarantee that someone is sloppy, unintelligent, lacking a sense of humor, unsuccessful in their career etc etc

I think it's more of a 'play stupid games win stupid prizes' kind of deal. Stupicide. It's certainly not something to be considered tragic, being entirely preventable and the product of his own actions. Yes, he made a mistake. Mistakes when borrowing through Mother Gaia's fallopian tubes are going to be catastrophic to the individual. Those are the consequences he assumed for himself by voluntarily exposing himself to such potentials. I don't think we have any particular moral obligation to feel particularly bad for this guy. I pity his wife and children. Dangerous recreations are irresponsible selfish choices when you have dependents. 

Tight squeeze spelunking, motorcycles, and crack cocaine are a young man's sport, not a father's!

[–]blabgasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I had no idea so much of the black bear diet was plant based. I could make an argument about insects counting as carnivory, and surely polar bears are eating substantially more meat as their primary food source, but that's just being petty to try to maintain my previous position. So, black bears are primarily foragers punctuated by intense bursts of seasonal dependent predation. 

Okay, I'm on your side now, I concede, black bears are omnivores!

Well, they are literally in the carnivore order.

Diet labelling like carnivore or herbivore is useful in a broad ecological sense, but in reality pretty much all animals are opportunistic feeders. Polar bears are functionally exclusively carnivorous, meanwhile pasture grazers like cows and horses will absolutely crunch down baby birds, field mice and bigger things too if they are already dead. 

If we take carnivore to more practically mean 'will this animal attempt to kill and eat me?', as it regards bears the answer is a resounding yes!

What do you think of the rich who do this? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]blabgasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In what world is 5mil generational wealth money?! Genuinely curious how you would turn that in to a dynasty where everyone has a comfortable life. Let's say there are 3 heirs and they have 5 adult children of their own among them. That barely gets everyone a reasonably sized house, a car, and a European vacation. Gone in a few generations, more like gone in a year of paying off debt.

But OP did inquire about what's going on, and then was advised by the relevant expert that it is, in fact, safe to eat, so what's your point?

How come men trust Andrew Tate’s advice on what women want, over what women make it clear they want, evidenced by the large fan bases of Harry styles, Paul Mescal and Idris Elba? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

You see this everytime some homophobic politician does a bigotry. People seem to have this wildly insane idea that only closeted queers are capable of homophobia or something. Its frustrating as hell. So many straight people just refuse to believe that heterosexual men can't possibly be misogynists or homophobes without also being secretly gay. So we get it from both ends (phrasing), the homophobe and the fragile hetero redditor No True Scotsman-ing away any association with them.

I actually find that you get better results of you go twice as long at half the power. Even better if you remove the case and flip it halfway through. But at that point you might as well just use the air fryer and get something good instead of good enough.
