  • Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?

  • Got ready to read some bullshit,

    Vitalik Buterin

    nevermind. But damn, what a great read. I haven't given much thought to on-chain ID in years and he lays it out pretty well. Still sounds like encrypted tokens are the way to go, but we all need to have multiple forms for it to protect anonymity.

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

  • Climate change denial is a psy-op by reptilians who want to make the world warmer because they're cold blooded. Anti-vax influencers are there to cull the xenophobes before the reptilians come out of the egg.

    Okay maybe I really want to believe there are cool reptiles who are kinda dumb but ultimately want to be our friends because otherwise we're making ourselves stupider and deader and we don't even get to meet scaley twinks.

  • I'm down with this.

    I'd add ability to perceive bias and credible reporting.

  • Do you sing to your pet or have other silly interactions with them?

    Jump

  • "Viens ici!" or "Viens ici, s'il te plaît!" if you're being proper.

    "Minouminouminou!" if you're being Cajun, where a cat is a minou and "Meow" is also minou.

    If you know a rather simple fundamental flaw in a new trillion dollar technology that everyone missed, what would you do?

  • Thalidomide, the Y2K bug and the Challenger disaster came to mind when I read the question. There's nothing to say the person who found the flaw isn't an expert, themselves.

  • I legit came here to comment about The Gods Themselves. Stellar novel. Everyone should read it.

    Great points about the commercial pressures on science, cults of personality and perceived intelligence of successful people, too. Rumor has it Asimov wrote the book out of spite for another sci-fi writer who willy-nilly used an impossible isotope in his novel and did not care when corrected.

    Not a spoiler: there are trisexual interdimensional trans people.

    Edit: Zodiak by Neal Stephenson has a similar theme.

  • I got my cat during the covid lockdown, around the same time I decided to refresh my French with the downtime. Now I have a french cat.

  • I was trying to make a disgusting joke. I failed.

    But I have a visceral, dreamlike memory of dissecting a sea slug while high on codeine for my intense cramps (it did nothing,) where the image of gelly-like brown flesh and rusty, marbled organs was reinforced immediately after when using the washroom.

    Thank you for sharing your visceral memory, it raises a lot of questions. I'm happy you've embraced peace because slugs are neat.

    Fun facts:

    • A few mollusks do have haemoglobin, so their haemolymph(blood-stuff) is red. The reason most mollusk blood is green/gray/blue is because they have copper while we have iron.
    • Slugs are all creamy because they don't have a circulatory system, they're more of a bag of fluids with some organs sloshing around inside.
    • Banana slugs have the highest penis volume to body-volume ratio of any animal. When they mate, they generate flesh spears to stab into each other, which serve no apparent purpose. Whoever wins the mating (gets pregnant first) gets to eat their partner's penis for nutrients, but it grows back.

  • Used tampons are supposed to be red?

  • You're fine, used tampons look more like filleted slugs.

    To make them more like cigarettes you could use a bit of cocoa or food grade activated charcoal for ash, or just burn the ends with a lighter. Bright yellow or orange sprinkles could be embers. Wrap brown paper around the other end for the filter.

    To make them more like tampons, use them to skewer marshmallows, lightly roast over a flame until marshmallows melt together and turn yellowish with a few bubbles, then slather in cranberry sauce.

    As an asexual girl who still wants a male partner, would “scheduled sex” be a dealbreaker for men?

    Jump

  • I cycle between high and low/no sex drive.

    Open relationships work best for me. I know it's not for everyone, but I support my partners sharing a sexual relationship with someone else while keeping a romantic one going with me, rather than fuck just to keep them happy. Sex without desire rarely makes anyone happy.

  • That sucks and I'm sorry. Did you dm the head mod? She's said her dms are finicky so @ing her would probably get a response.

    They're not supposed to ban by default as far as I know, could have been an overzealous mod or a mistake. I get the same thing online, so I find it fucking infuriating to gender personality traits and tone. As an active poster on that sub I don't want to see things go that way.

  • If your goal is accessibility, you're taking quite a long walk to get there.

  • In trans-inclusive spaces we use "woman," in reference to the gender, as opposed to female, which usually designates sex.

    Like a nature documentary, for example: "The female meetkat seeks out her pack," as opposed to "The woman meetkat hollers at the girls."

  • I can agree everyone should get to enjoy equal access to the web and still believe censoring user names is nice. There's gotta be a balance between accessibility and preventing harassment.

    Have you asked OP to link the comment in the post text?

    How about a transcript for the image? That way user names could stay blocked.
