I’m not a bee, you’re not a bee, so it sounds like a them problem.

(On the internet, nobody knows you’re a bee.)

I think that is the most based I have ever seen a machine be. Soon AI will be more based than any human.

The programmer’s answer?

We don’t support that use case.

You’re doing exactly what he is asking you not to.

Except it’s not just some guy vandalizing a car, or else you wouldn’t be making memes about it.

A great game if you like gritty fantasy, turn based tactics, and losing.

Would you like to be a moderate? I’ll propose giving the hogs the assault rifles and you’ll instantly become a moderate.

humans have assault rifles <— no one has assault rifles —> hogs have assault rifles

Edit: would arming both humans and hogs also be a good compromise?

I say we cede the country to the pigs. They might do a better job.

You’re one of several people mentioning shared cultural references, but if you’re male and your partner is female then I’m surprised that she has any interest in things like Thundercats or He-Man regardless of her age. I’m more of a Transformers fan myself and I’ve never even met a woman who would respond to anything Transformers-related with more than just polite disinterest.

I’m a nerdy heterosexual man, and in my experience practically no women share my interests or hobbies. Therefore my relationships have been built around doing the things that pretty much everyone enjoys - eating a nice meal, going for a walk, talking about current events, playing with pets, etc. A good partner is someone who enjoys doing these ordinary things with me. Maybe someone who does share my interests would be even better but I don’t think finding a person like that is likely enough to be worth passing up other opportunities.

I wonder why your experience is apparently so different from mine. Am I unusual or are you?

I’ve heard that statistic but it doesn’t match what I’ve seen in my own family. My grandparents weren’t physically intimate with each other even when I was a kid and they were relatively young. (I lived with them so I would have noticed if they ever wanted private time together, and they never did.) This, combined with the fact that many people in nursing homes are in no condition to actually have (consensual) sex, makes me wonder if the explanation for that statistic is not as straightforward as it seems.

Just fill your living room with radioactive waste and they’ll come put this sign up for free.

But are you saying that there can be romantic attraction without significant physical aspects, or are you talking about romantic attraction with fewer (but still some) physical aspects but more emotional ones?

What do you mean by “emotional attraction”? I enjoy spending time with my good friends, and I would even say that I love them in the way that friends love each other, but I am not attracted to them.

I don’t see how I could have a romantic relationship with someone I didn’t want to have sex with. The man I mentioned who is no longer attracted to women his age does have a woman his age in his life who was his girlfriend when they met 25 years ago and the two of them still enjoy spending time together, but they no longer have a physical relationship although he does still have a sex drive. He’s sad about this but accepts it as the way things are for older people. I don’t know how she feels.

I can understand how you don’t want to date someone a lot younger than you, although I don’t have any personal experience with that - I’ve never had a partner more than a couple of years younger than I am. However, I’m a man who has had little in common with most of the women I’ve dated, simply because I have little in common with most women. (My hobbies might be crudely called “autistic”.) Thus, for me dating has involved finding women I get along with surprisingly well despite having so little in common.

Maybe I also wouldn’t enjoy the company of someone a lot younger than me, but the main problems I foresee are that (1) no one like that would want to date me and (2) even if I found someone like that who wanted to date me now then I doubt she would still want to date me when I was old as opposed to just middle-aged.

A fireable offense.

Well, the question was probably disingenuous. There may not be any stupid questions but there are questions intended to start arguments about politics.

If I wanted to be constrained by flesh and bone then I’d be looking at 3D porn.

I think even this sort of compliment will be creepy to many (perhaps most) women. Am I wrong?

Nah he ran off with mine and the two of them are happy together.
