If you conducted this same study in ancient Greece, would you expect the same result? If no, then cultural views of beauty play a big role in this. If yes, then why were the ancient Greeks obsessed with male nudity?

Why wouldn't you? I'm not an expert but from skimming through a brief search they seem to adhere more or less to the same standards we do. Yeah, there's more dudes but that can be explained by the fact that they're sculpting heroes from mythology which are mostly men and they want to show off how buff they are. It's like comic books of today, but unrestrained by censorship. The female statues are just as conventionally hot/naked.

Weird, my hallucinations always take the form of spiders.

My problem is when I switch into "doing shit mode" my brain fucking pingpongs between doing all the shit, so I'll work one one thing for like 10 minutes, realize I need to do something else, switch to that, and so on. Which does mean I make progress... but still not a lot gets actually done unless I have some kind of huge breakthrough on something that gives me enough juice to focus on it because I can see the finish line.

No idea. I'm an amateur weightlifter and I do think it helps with getting a decent aesthetic build with less work though. I look pretty muscular even though my lifts aren't that impressive. Not that it's helped much with getting women interested in me. There's other benefits to work out though and dudes appreciate it at least.

There's a 100% chance I'm not picking up a cold call. A preparatory text conversation will guarantee I pick up, after I do what I can to provide whatever they want via text so we can forgo the call if possible.

I'll do a phone call if it's more efficient but video calls are out of the question. I did them for job interviews during covid because it was useful in that context for us to see each other and twice when I was demoing how to reprogram some devices I support at my current job. But for just day to day social communication? Fuck that. We don't need to see each other unless someone is taking their clothes off.

If someone had given Mr. Rogers a trillion dollars we'd be living in that "the future if ****" meme right now.

Was out with a girlfriend's family and one of her mom's friends once and my girlfriend mentioned she had been playing D&D with a group of people from her college. Her mom's friend immediately started cackling and was like "It's just like the big bang theory!". No other context about what happened in her games or who she was playing with or anything. Just the simple fact that she was playing it at all was apparently hilarious.

I doubt there's many people who care about using add block who don't at least know what Firefox is.

Then there's my 5'3 ass.

There's probably something from the 90s/early 00s with her dressed like that. Comics were really ramping it up for a while there. Not that teenager me was complaining.

Mad Men. Everyone on that show is a fucking scumbag and not in a funny or interesting way.

Also Thor Ragnarok. I hate it for the reasons people say they hate the next one but it was the same people that said they liked Ragnarok so Idk what the fuck is going on there. I'm not watching the second one to find out.

Just do literally anything besides be a gigantic asshole with all his wealth. He couldn't even manage to help save those kids in that cave without being a fucking dick about it. Dude needs to stfu and go to therapy.

The first time I saw the first one in the theater I was blown away. Then I went and saw it again with someone else and paid more attention to the plot the second time and ....yeah.

So you do understand.

The first 2 are pretty much the same plot so you're not missing much. Not sure about the 3rd one not interested in it.

I'm from the midwest and it seems to usually be the several child molesters that just .... aren't dealt with.

He's made some movies that I like but his style doesn't fit Thor, especially when they had 2 movies plus the avengers ones already with a totally different vibe. I don't know what they were thinking. It's like Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein but at least with that one you know what you're getting going into it and it's actually funny. Taika's jokes are just shitting on the source material.

I set myself to invisible at all times. My friends can message me if they want to do shit but they don't need to know my status at all times. Too many motherfuckers messaging me the instant I appear online.

I wrap vegetables when I grill them.
