The code switching between "faggy little queer with the hand" when I'm talking to queers and women and "straight cishet linkedinsona" when talking to straight cishet men is melting my brain now that I'm having conversations with the new intern (woman) and my other coworkers (middle aged conservative straight men)

its always the tiny gay cowboy and his tiny gay roman boyfriend, never the bi cowboy and his bi cowboy/martial artist boyfriend. owen wilson didn’t play a fruity western boy TWICE to be disrespected like that

I do think it's really funny that Sam has this reputation for being a madman who tortures and humiliates his friends for fun and profit but then when you look deeper and remember that these are all comedians it becomes abundantly clear that every single person on that stage is a massive masochistic freak and the dynamic is more that post about BDSM that's like

Sub: Can you drug me and then tie me up naked and throw me in the back of your truck and drive me to an abandoned warehouse where you do fucked up science experiments on me?

Dom, notebook in hand: I don't know, that's scary.

Like that's the real Game Changer cast vs host energy it's not Sam being an insane god of chaos and pain torturing his friends who are semi-unwilling and scared it's Sam offering his comedian friends a space of unlimited possibility and watching them immediately go off the deep end and suggest making an episode based on Slender where they have one hour in a park at night to find 6 pages while Brennan—who is high on shrooms, blindfolded, and holding a broadsword—hunts them for sport. It's not Sam's fault all of his friends are dangerously insane, he's just trying to offer them enough enrichment that they don't start trying to eat each other. In one of the latest episodes the contestants essentially torture themselves for fun and one tries to give a kid a beer while the others cheer him on, trust me the contestants are SCPs and Sam is their handler. This is containment, not torture.

You won’t find this pigeon on the streets of New York City. Meet the Pink-necked Green Pigeon (Treron vernans)! This colorful bird can be found throughout Southeast Asia, where it inhabits forests. It hangs out in small flocks in the treetops, foraging mainly for fruit. Distinguishing males from females isn’t too difficult: Females lack pink necks and are mostly olive-green in color!

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question. So, I've had my (hormonal) IUD in for a couple years now, hoping for it to stop my periods. And it mostly has, besides a little bit of spotting here and there, and that's been my new normal. However more recently I've been masturbating more frequently, and I tend to do mostly vaginal penetration as my default. My toy is rather large and hits kind of deep, there have been times when I hit what I believe to be my cervix, as I'm left sore and immobile for a while after (not worried about that, I'm a masochist + the pain doesn't last more than an hour or two). But around the same time, my periods have been coming back heavier, more than just spotting. Not as bad as they were pre-IUD, but it's noticeable.

My question is: is it possible that I knocked my IUD around during deep penetration and shifted it's position, and for that to have affected the heaviness of my periods?

hi anon,

I am not in any position to speculate about what's going on in your cervix. if you're experienced abnormal bleeding and worried that you've displaced your IUD then you need to check in with your healthcare provider about it ASAP.

I don't think I reported this @bobacupcake "h-hello?" from 2023

What do you mean you applied a content label

[bobacupcake]

something weird is going on with the reporting system. T&S is now officially aware of it, but nobody knows what exactly is going on yet so i have no further information sorry. someone said a user received an email like this about pjackk? if you know who it was, link me

the mantra for pilots is "aviate, navigate, communicate" in that order, meaning "fly the damn plane" first (don't enter an unrecoverable state) and then make sure you're going in the right direction and then talk to air traffic control, basically pay attention to the three things that can get you into trouble in the order of how fast that trouble can arrive.

temporal priority aside though, actually carrying out these objectives requires understanding, the most important currency of any complex activity: flying the plane is largely a mechanical procedure if you understand which angle it's pointing and how fast it's going and what autopilot mode it's in but a hellish nightmare if you don't, navigation and communication are also straightforward if you're keeping track of what's going on, but accidents usually result from the kind of confusion where people don't realise they are confused and are too busy or distracted to stop and notice they've lost touch with reality.

I think about that while driving but also these days while carrying out AI assisted software engineering, which has made understanding what's going on even more important than it used to be; the connection with flight is that it's easy to slip into the mode of developing while distracted and not realise you're doing so, and failures of understanding can take some time to manifest as critical problems.

This reminds me of how calculators can become a problem for some people: you need to know enough math to understand what you’re doing with the calculator, and enough math to understand what it spits out.

Applying the wrong formula won’t magically result in the calculator giving you the right answer.

garbage in, garbage out, or in the words of Charles Babbage:

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

hi, sex witch, i've been experiencing vaginal bleeding after masturbation (no penetration, just clitoral stimulation) and sometimes even after hard exertion, like just regular exercise. idk if this is normal, it doesn't feel normal, but i have nobody in my life i can ask about this. is this something i should be concerned about?

hi anon,

doctor.
