  • For breast cancer color - did you know pink used to be a boys color and blue girls? I see no reason the color couldn’t stay pink

    I did know that interesting fact. Funny story that’s loosely related is my family talked me out of naming my son Ashley. Ashley is originally a boys name.

    Another fascinating thing is that pink wasn’t the original color for breast cancer charity or spreading information at all. I can’t remember the original color but companies didn’t want to pay to actually help anything at all, they also didn’t want to actually put effort in to explaining anything or educating anyone… so they switched to “awareness” and picked pink because it wasn’t trademarked or owned

    Basically they wanted to look like they cared but wanted to do absolutely nothing. So… Pink ribbon with the tag of “aware” We helped make you aware that this is a thing that happens. That’s free and easy.



  • I can tell you for a fact if men had boobs our bras would have pockets.

    Edit: oh God… I just realized… If men had boobs “dapper Daniel” would use a French cuff bra instead of normal hook kind. It would be secured with a solid gold and pearl bra-cufflink that no one would even notice except he brings it up constantly and scoffs that I’m not taking enough pride in my appearance because I use the hook kind.

    God damnit Daniel, no one cares but you. I’ve never had a date walk away because of my clasp. They walk away from you all the time because when you say “the square alabaster shows loyalty, the round topaz shows I’m driven” all they hear is that you need to control every micro aspect of life and they won’t be allowed to where heals anymore because they might be a 1/17th of an inch taller than you. So keep your opinions to yourself you greasy haired little weasel.


  • Lol yeah I know a few people like that. I’m asexual so I almost never want to discuss boobs. Unless maybe conversations about the concept or idea of boobs. For example:

    If men also grew full on boobs instead of just nipples… Would women be attracted to them? Would look for men with larger boobs? Would they want to motor boat them?

    I know what your first thought is… “Well if you’ve had any lesbian friends”

    I have, but that doesn’t give a meaningful answer. Lesbians like women, boobs are on the physical characteristics of a woman that are different than men’s bodies. What lesbians do or do not find attractive is irrelevant for this hypothetical.

    If both men and women had boobs, how would that affect how sexy the boobs would be? How would that affect society? Would women walking around shirtless be more normal? Would breast cancer ribbons still be pink?

    These are the questions I don’t want to bother my friends and family with at 2 am lol.




  • I guess I should also add for clarity that I’m aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.

    That’s also not really what I’m looking for either. I don’t need “how can I brew my own mead”

    I’m looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we’ve had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.

    I’m not looking to pretend it’s real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.

    Edit: again to clarify. I mentioned my low bar expectation of “wow, that wild”. My high bar, what I really a looking for is an AI that gives responses like “that sounds similar to the problem you mentioned last week, how did you handle that?”

    So I can be like “yeah it is kinda similar, I didn’t think about that”

    That would be the high bar. I’d pay maybe $5 for that experience.

    Final clarifying edit: after reading my own post I’m thinking to myself, if this was posted by someone else I’d answer with something like:

    “Sounds like you’re describing a therapist. AI therapists have a lot of issues but real human ones are getting cheaper with online appointments”

    And that would be a very fair answer. Although I might benefit from a therapist, we all would. I’m talking more about mundane daily thoughts and talking to a therapist daily even online would be expensive.



  • I’m new to this platform and can’t tell if I already replied to this or not.

    I totally understand and agree with your point. In case I already replied to this I’ll just give my short answer.

    If I could snap my finger and magically make a perfect capitalist system (or socialist for that matter) no corruption or greed. Starting absolutely fresh and right with the perfect principles in place for the system… And also all of us people started fresh, well rested, well fed, thinking clearly…

    I think people would still buy the cheapest chocolate and ignore the slaves, they’d still shop at Walmart, and I’d still book the cheap airline ticket and complain I have no leg room, and a handful of super rich elites would quickly regain literally all the power.

    You absolutely nailed it on the head with everything thing you said, that’s exactly why I don’t call out system true capitalism. I also agree the lives we are forced to live prevent us from having time to sort this stuff out.

    I just don’t think we’d be less lazy (myself included) even if we did have the time and energy. I feel the same problem in both systems.

    1)good idea

    1. revaluation

    2. get lazy

    3. back to essentially where we started.


  • I know! I told the Team lead id be in at 2. That’s when I was scheduled and that’s when I’m coming in. It’s not my fault Becky got septic gonorrhea again. I’m going to sell my drones, and then I’ll be there at my SCHEDULED time. Don’t give me any of that “team player” bullshit either. All that “team playin” you managers have been doing is why everyone keeps getting septic gonorrhoea. So maybe focus more on your z-pack and get off of my back. How bout that.

    If you need a drone tho I got you 10 a piece. Price break at 20. Brand new. Predator anti-personal. Can’t resell them to Ukraine tho. I’m not pro Russia I just got beef with Zelensky. Owe him some money, don’t want him to know I’m out here hustlin. Hit me up.

    Edit: if you do want a drone maybe rub some of those z-pack anti bios on the bills tho. Don’t need any of the Becky shit. I just got back with my baby momma you know and all she asked is "no more girls, no more drones, no more polyhedron with a surface areas greater than 30^2 centimeters on the larger faces " so we got keep this real down low, you feel me. You know how hard it was to get my kid back bro, so I got to keep this super light, no joke.


  • Funny side note I think the problem with both systems is lazy people not doing what they should.

    I won’t go over the example for how lazy people could effect socialism because I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times before.

    I skip straight to capitalism.

    People don’t vote with their dollar like they should. Everyone hates Walmart, they still shop at Walmart. Everyone hates child slavery, they still buy chocolate. Women want real pockets in their clothing, they still buy clothing that does not have pockets.

    I’m lazy too in that way. I don’t shop at Walmart, and I don’t really like chocolate… But I hate how shitty airlines are… When I fly tho, I buy the cheapest ticket on the cheapest airline. Every single time.

    That’s the problem with capitalism. I’m lazy, we’re all lazy.


  • Yes someone explain my poor phrasing. They even mentioned the word I mentioned but I forget.

    I’m not the capitalist version of a tanky.

    I believe the concept of capitalism could work, and I believe it would work better than socialism. Another common ground I have with socialist is that I understand the examples of my preferred… Arrangement of society have been corrupted and not run under the ideas they claim.

    That’s what I mean by common ground and that’s where I sympathize. I wouldn’t want someone pointing at trump and saying “that’s capitalism!” And I would never point at Kim jun un and say “that’s socialism”

    I also understand the “ideal, pure, perfect implementation” of either idea probably isn’t possible.

    I lean more to capitalism.

    That’s what I meant when I said “I’m a capitalist” I misspoke.






  • I appreciate your kind words.

    And you pretty much nailed it on both fronts.

    I listened to some shrink talking on the radio probably over a decade ago. She mentioned that it wasn’t abnormal for her patients to say they don’t know what they enjoy.

    I matured late and had kids young. My kids are adults now.

    I don’t have hobbies or interests. I’ve been busy working .

    My boss pissed me off the other day. I could find an easier job. Maybe take a pay cut.

    What else would I do though?

    I don’t have hobbies, I don’t really want one. I don’t have friends, and I never really wanted them. I do have family and people who love me don’t worry.

    I don’t have friends, hangout spots, hobbies, TV shows I binged. I don’t even know what I like. So I guess I work? I should probably find something. Not mineral collecting but maybe trains?


  • I mean yeah but that’s a different kind of unfairness.

    What I’m talking about is one person being hungry while another person is forced to eat food when they aren’t. You’re more talking about someone who doesn’t deserve a multiple course meal.

    Knowing I’m going to mostly throw this shit away and not enjoy it while there are other people who want it sucks.


  • This kind of thing always seems so unfair to me. They were writing a book and meeting new friends. Meanwhile I’m so damn tired and ready to rest. I’d give you’re friend 10 or twenty years off my own life if it were an option.

    I wouldn’t hurt myself, I’m just saying another 30 or forty years seems so daunting…there’s people who want those years and that’s unfair.
