I mean, yes there are other ways to be intimate with each other than penetration. However as far as I can tell a lot of men are very attached to the idea of penetration when it comes to sex. I would assume it would feel quite debilitating not to have the option when you really want to have the option. Then again what do I know. I am missing the necessary parts to know what any of that feels like from the male side.

Yeah, I might have seen the same interview. I just didn’t want to put the relevant words into a search engine to figure out specifically what I was vaguely remembering.

I did a quick calculation and got to around 500 queries per quarter pounder. Lot of guesstimation and rounding though, but I’m pretty sure I got close enough to know that you’re off by quite a lot.

Edit to add: I used 21.9kg CO2 per 1kg of beef and 4.32 grams per ChatGPT query for my rough estimate.

However that 4.32 number is already over a year old. Chances are it’s way outdated but everyone still keeps on quoting it. It definitely does not take into account that ChatGPT often “thinks” now, because chain of thought is likely as expensive as multiple queries by itself. Additionally the models are more advanced than a year ago, but also more costly and that CO2 amount everyone keeps quoting doesn’t even mention which model they used. If anyone can find the original source of this number I’d be very curious.

So when people tell you about the positive changes they’ve made you in return like to point out that they still aren’t living up to your standards? I’m not sure that’s the way to go to motivate and inspire people to do better. But you do you I guess.

Whataboutism isn’t useful. Nobody is living the perfect life. Every improvement we can make towards a more sustainable way of living is good. Everyone needs to start somewhere and even if they never move to make more changes at least they made the one.

I mean, to be fair… it must be pretty annoying. Chances are he’s not compatible size wise with 99.99% of women. Probably even jerking off is a massive workout. Probably gets lightheaded each time it fills with blood. Seriously… when you’re this far out of the normal range I recon attention is the main positive thing that comes out of the situation (at least for people who like attention). Everything else just seems needlessly difficult.

Ah, yes. UPS. In the Netherlands they suck too. We had something delivered from the US 3 or so years ago. It was quite expensive and we knew import tax would be required. Though we weren’t sure if it had been pre-paid by the seller or not. When we heard that the delivery was on its way to our door we thought all was good. Nope. Dude showed up and before we even got a word in he announced in the most snobbish “I’m not paid enough to deal with your bullshit” way that we better pay up in cash on the spot right then, or he’d send the package back. The amount had to be exact as he had no change. We didn’t have cash on hand and supposedly there was no other way to pay.

Called customer service after the guy left. They agreed that there was no other way to pay. They did agree to send the guy back later that day. It was a weird amount that neither the seller nor UPS had communicated with us. So not only did we have to head to an ATM but then had to go to a shop to split things out into specific coins.

When we paid the UPS guy with too many coins he cursed us out loudly and kept on cursing all the way to his delivery truck where he got in, slammed the door and then sped down the road, cutting another car off in the process.

Complained to customer service again. They basically said they would ignore my complaint.

So… how do other delivery companies tackle the same taxes? They send you an email with a payment link. If you don’t pay within x time they send you a letter with a request to pay. With some of them you can even pay using your card at the door. Never have I ever before or since encountered the way UPS dealt with this. When I see that UPS is the only delivery option a store has I won’t order from them.

I was literally about to respond that my husband and our two kitties are pretty awesome

I would try to walk. That would instantly make our one cat sprint to my feet to get directly under and infront of them.

For the other cat saying “soft food” would work. She’ll come screaming and expect to be served. Lord help me if I don’t have food on me though.

I just don’t drink alcohol in the first place (and also don’t get the hype, lol), but I can see how it makes more sense at a friends house.

Sounds awesome!

Yeah, that I understand more. At least for people who are more extroverted than I am, lol. But being in a setting in which you can see and hear people while not needing to pay insane prices sounds way more reasonable.
