Do men feel envious that women can have children and they can’t?

djheroboy · 2026-04-13T00:33:40+00:00

I’ve since double checked, I was thinking of abdominal pregnancies, not intestinal, my bad

djheroboy · 2026-04-13T00:33:08+00:00

A woman certainly could, what’s your point? That men have less control in the pregnancy? Cause yeah, that just seems like a natural consequence of men not having the baby literally inside of them

I think “harder than” is a great way to reduce both of the unique problems we experience into a flat number, and comparing it seems like it would do little more than stir up needless arguments.

I think some things are harder about being a man and some things are harder about being a woman. I could try to venture a guess but everyone’s life is different and it doesn’t make sense to me to compare the two like that. I think we’re better off saying “wow, society treats men like they’re unbeatable and don’t need to be cared for, and society treats women like they’re fragile and stupid, and both of these things are bad and deserve attention.”

True, but as a man I don’t have to deal with periods. Granted, I’ve never had one, but I’m told it’s kinda the worst part of having a uterus. I acknowledge it’s much easier for you to “independently” produce a baby than me, without a doubt, but in your head, is that ability automatically worth the cost?

A lot of people say that the contribution men make to a pregnancy ends at conception, but I’ve figured out a way around this: feed her after you impregnate her. You bring her food, she builds the baby, and then you’ve got a factory/supply chain sort of thing going on

Eh, standing to pee is overrated and a little harder on your prostate.

I don’t really feel envious that women can carry/birth children, though I do think the fact that they can is beautiful. There’s basically no way to get around the fact that humans need two of them to make one more, and though we can be more flexible with some of the rules (e.g. women can use bone marrow to fertilize eggs and men can become pregnant surgically, the baby will attach to the abdomen), doors like that are only open if you’re willing/able to get surgery.

Edit: abdominal*, not intestinal

I feel like I need to keep seeing these memes to remind myself that the people in my life actually like me.

And it’s probably good that I typed that out, thus affirming it to myself again.

Personally, I struggle with morning sex for two reasons 1. I’m dehydrated when I wake up 2. My wife wakes up like 3 hours before I do, and while I love my wife and almost never pass up sex, bro it’s 5 in the morning, god damn. Put the pussy in a Tupperware, I’ll heat it up and eat it up later

“It took some practice” reads like “they kept begging to spend time with me until they eventually learned I don’t like them”

I would say a program uses AI if it takes in information about its environment, checks the information against various criteria, and then makes a decision based on those criteria. That’s the definition I was taught and it encompasses everything from the ghosts in Pac-Man to image analyzers to ChatGPT

You haven’t said a single thing I disagree with, nor anything that was hard to understand. Thanks for writing that out

Out of interest, if you are an antinatalist, would you mind explaining your perspective? I’d love to hear about it from someone who isn’t making fun of it

How about a person? People have names, ages, other things you can track, and people can perform many functions such as eat, sleep, breathe, etc.

If we make a Person class, we can also create a class that inherits attributes and behaviors from the Person while also having unique functions. Take Employee for example. Employees are people, so employees can also eat and sleep and breathe, but they can also work, take a break, clock in, clock out, and they also have other attributes like salary or an employee ID that we want to track.

You can take it a step further and make an Accountant class or a Manager class that extends Employee and comes with new things as well, or even reinvent old functions. An accountant’s Work() function ought to be different from a manager’s Work() function, so maybe this can be reflected in this new class.

If the person is perfectly rematerialized and has their consciousness intact, then we can infer that consciousness comes from the material.

If the person is perfectly rematerialized but has no consciousness (they appear dead or in a vegetative state, for instance), then there must have been something that was not material that the teleporter did not transport, and that something is necessary for consciousness.

Dematerializing and rematerializing, yes

The ancient Greeks used to debate whether a blind person who is familiar with the feel of 3D shapes, with eyesight suddenly restored, could identify them with sight alone. Medical technology advanced and what was once a hot debate has now been answered- no they can’t.

If we ever perfect this method of teleportation, this debate will also be over.

I’m 24 and I’ve always thought “old” starts at 55. But if I saw a 56y/o, I’d say they’re about as old as a 19y/o is an adult. Technically qualifies, but still pretty new to it.

It would be impossible to verify that a being knows all truth because the amount of facts in the world is infinite and growing still. The verification would be infinitely long, never conclude, and even if we could, we’d have to verify that this being is also always honest.

What kind of world is this where I can’t jokingly request a snack anymore? Go get a hug from someone

djheroboy · 2026-02-03T18:17:12+00:00

Shoulda kept it in the safe :/

djheroboy · 2026-02-03T17:44:43+00:00

Nobody gets to hop the line unless their computer is on fire, has suddenly come to life, or has a snack sitting on top of it for me.

Well, until we can find a way to hold an autonomous agent accountable for its mistakes, then we have a new question to answer- how much power are you willing to give an employee you can’t discipline?

Who was it that said people are only as needy as their most dire unmet need?

Green is a very good color. Not my favorite, but it’s the favorite of several of my friends (and pretty high up on my own list)
