  • 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.

    That’s not reasonable to assume. Let me prove it?

    Are you Food Safety Certified from a credited organization? No?

    Then obviously your cooking must be poisonous.

    I however am food safety certified. I cannot cook at all. Suck at cooking. I do know proper temps, and how to store food. I still cannot cook.

    Having a license only PROVES you know the rules. Having one doesn’t mean your GOOD at thing or even that you will FOLLOW the rules. It just proves you KNOW the rules.

    Likewise not having a license doesn’t mean you DONT know the rules or WONT follow the rules. It only means you haven’t proven to a licensing body that you do.

    I don’t have a medical license, but I know you shouldn’t take opioids every day of your life or you’ll get addicted to them. Clearly many doctors did not know that or did not care.

    Edit: hell one more fun one.

    When I was in school we had a state issued standardized test called the TAAS test. I got a perfect score every single year. Got every single question in the entire test, every category, correct. 100 percent.

    However I was failing most of my classes. Did I know the material or did I not? One certificate said I exceptional and perfect, the other certificate says I was far below my peers.

    Which one was right?

    You’re trolling.

    Basically you’re saying “sometimes cyclist don’t follow traffic rules”

    As you’re justification why OP must’ve been in the road instead of the bike lanes they specifically mentioned. It’s nonsense.

    You have no argument, you just don’t like people riding bikes because you once saw a guy not following rules on a bike. Give me a break. Why are you here if you only want to defend cars even when the evidence clearly shows the car was at fault? Why are you here if you want to exclusively blame cyclist for every bad thing that a driver does?

    You’re trolling. Go home.

    Op said they were on a bike. Op said there were two designated bike lanes. Ok said car nearly hit them.

    One of two things must be true.

    Car entered the bike lane. A thing that happens often.

    Op was riding in the traffic lane instead of the two designated bike lanes, then posted about it, and specifically mentioned the two bike lanes they were not using for no reason other than to make themself look bad. A thing that doesn’t happen often.

    You see how short one explanation is compared to the other? Yeah the short explanation is probably what happened. It’s the most likely explanation.

    Op had an option to not be in danger then. They were in the car lane to feel the drama.

    That’s you making a wild leap to blame the bike.

    I’m using what’s called occums razor. Op mentioned the bike lanes. Op didn’t say anything about being in the main road.

    It’s more reasonable to assume they were using the bike lanes they mentioned. It’s unreasonable to assume they were in the road and only mentioned the bike lanes to us in order to make themselves look bad. That doesn’t make sense.

    Nor did the cyclist. Two wrongs don’t make you right.

    Again there is no reason to assume the cyclist isn’t in the bike lane or is breaking any kind of law. You just decided entirely on your own that they must be in the road.

    I saw a car driving on the bike path just yesterday. Not even a bike lane, I completely separate path on the side of the road separated by a big ditch. They drove on the bike path to avoid traffic lights.

    You’re picking and choosing assumptions that suit your preference.

    That’s pretty rich considering you’re assuming OP (on a bike) specifically mentioned two designated bike lanes, decided to ride in the road instead, then told all of us so we would know he’s a jerk.

    If they were riding in the road they wouldn’t have mentioned the bike lanes at all so they looked like the “good guy”

    “So I was stomping on some kittens right, then this guy cut in line at Walmart right in front of me! What a jerk”

    Why would someone include the part of the story that made them the bad guy?

    You are the one assuming whatever fits you’re narrative the best. You must drive a BMW and are here to troll bike riders.
