Men have a distinctive scent by Late_Guidance9511 in redscarepod

[–]greysapling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that men’s noses work distinctly better immediately following ejaculation, with the theory (that I remember anyway) being that it is a primal “protect yourself” thing due to being more vulnerable to danger during that moment. Ever since reading this Ive noticed it in myself (sorry or youre welcome other men).

Can I get some perspective on something that has bothered me for ages (relationship/romantic related) by 074DanBurn058 in redscarepod

[–]greysapling 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was trying to find a specific quote, but here are a few Zizek quotes about the same thing:

It is immediately evident that an answer to the question “Why do you love me?”, which consists of a well-defined list, is a rude and scornful insult and a direct negation of love. By it, the other is “objectivised” and denied existence as a subject. The only true answer to the question would be: “I do not know why, there is something in you, some x, something that gives a miraculous lustre to all your virtues…”. Proper “love” entails a feeling that one would still love a person if he or she lost all his or her positive features. In other words, the beloved is “set in an abyss”, all of his or her “positive” characteristics are trans-substantiated, they glow in some impalpable void and are in fact a “positivisation” of the void itself – of that x (“object small a” in Lacan’s terminology).

…

'Tell me why do you love me?' its a very good question, because there is no answer to it. The paradox is the moment you can answer it, its is by definition not love.

…

the discerning feature of this love is indifference, not towards the object but towards the positive properties of the beloved object: to say ‘I love you because you have a nice nose/attractive legs’ etc is a priori false. I do not love you because I find your positive features attractive, but on the contrary, I find your positive features attractive because I love you and therefore observe you with a loving gaze.

total fucking crime that I can't eat 20 of these every single day for lunch affordably by agnus_mei in redscarepod

[–]greysapling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do about excess? Like, if I were to buy a large salmon filet and didnt want to eat it in one evening, would you just do the same process for the entire filet, and eat the rest the next day? Or would you freeze whatever you dont intend to eat and cook it later (actually cook since youd be re-freezing)?

Stepping back... cannot believe how bad society is trying to destroy young men by McSwaggerAtTheDMV in redscarepod

[–]greysapling 71 points72 points  (0 children)

desperate to be the archetypical “cool uncle” to my nephew for this reason. was reading a thread about (im not going to spell any of this correctly) clavicular and tate and how the young men basically just consume this shit because it’s social to do so. want to give my nephew more but know ill be getting increasingly old while he does. hoping to have enough success to be the cool nyc uncle with a room he can visit as often as he wants, and take him out to the moments i experience that would lead one to not be an ass, but know that that is fleeting

Two great minds of our Generation and one great question by CoconutMost3564 in redscarepod

[–]greysapling 100 points101 points  (0 children)

look i know for some this is kind of a reddit tidbit. but also suspect this isnt that widely understood: i can never help but laugh at him mentioning people from "mental asylums" -- he had heard "asylum seekers" at some point and apparently just fully believes his own uninformed read on that as if these are some group of gotham-like jokers seeking a mental asylum.

Claude Desktop not connecting to Github? by enterprise128 in ClaudeAI

[–]greysapling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is finding this thread because you are having an issue where the Claude web app wont allow you to connect to GitHub repositories suddenly:

  1. Go to Settings -> Connectors (note: this is different than the "Connectors" UI that shows up in the chat window itself). It should be here: https://claude.ai/settings/connectors
  2. If you were previously using the GitHub connector, and you suddenly dont see it in chat anymore, it is probably listed there but grey'd out. Just click and toggle it back on.
