I apologize if this isn’t the kind of comment that you’re looking for…but what’s wrong with the colleges local to you? Do you live in an unsafe area? It makes a hell of a lot more sense to go to a school with in state tuition rather than going across the country to a school with needlessly exorbitantly expensive out of state tuition.

Maybe I was just lucky in the state I grew up in.

I thought I read somewhere that your social security card wasn’t initially at all meant for proof of identity and shit that we use it for today, which is why it’s made of fragile paper. But I didn’t actually look that up to verify so idk.

Bro I get company shills exist, but that’s a big level of paranoia right there.

I swear, some people on the internet act as if you even mention a company name, that you’re some sort of paid corporate shill. No, man, sometimes I just talk about every day things in my life lol.

Same! People (especially on Lemmy I’ve noticed) love to rag on folding phones. But I think it’s fantastic companies are trying to innovate and make something more interesting than the same old same old we’ve had for the past 10 years. Phones used to be bizarre and weird and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Folding phones add a little variety back into the mix!

Yeah I agree with the person you’re responding to. For some reason, a lot of companies are really getting into researching the larger folding phones…the ones that unfold from a regular phone into a tablet.

And there is definitely a market for these phones, sure. But they are incredibly expensive and not everyone who is interested in a folding phone really wants a phone-tablet combo.

I’m not sure why more companies aren’t trying to make the “collapsing phone” style of folding phones like Samsung’s Z Flip or the Motorola Razr. There is a big market there and you’re limiting yourself as a company if you only are researching the phone-tablet style folding devices like Google is doing.

Seriously what is this a photo of?

This is so stupid but why do I love it??

How does that work? I feel like I would just end up wanting to vomit. Not that chocolate milk is gross, but it’s a bit heavy for working out.

Jeez…how do you think your dishwasher feels about that? Monster!!

Omg yes exactly! I’ve not heard this comparison before but it is spot on! Like what was even the point??

I have a slight problem when people say stuff like this.

Yes, I agree that sex shouldn’t at all be the most important thing in a relationship. And at some point many people aren’t able to have sex anymore. And sure, some people aren’t able to have sex to begin with.

But for most people on the planet, sex is a huge (although obviously usually not the only) component of a relationship and a basic need. So when you can’t have sex, it very severely and significantly limits your dating pool. Pretending it doesn’t is very unhelpful and just not realistic…at least not in the modern, Western world.

Hmmm…but how can we be sure that you aren’t the dog???

Ah well in that case…for me personally, I’m 30 and I’ve never had sex. Since sexual themes are so pervasive in media, sometimes I do feel like I’m missing out. But at the same time, I don’t personally seem to have the ability to feel sexual pleasure, so it is what it is. Some people are also physically disabled in ways that mean they can’t have sex or can’t feel physical pleasure during sex. Sometimes it stinks to feel like such an outlier with the inability to experience something everyone talks about, but it is what it is. There are a lot of other things in this world that are fun and can occupy one’s time.

It’s also ok to not really like it. Some people just don’t get that much out of it for various reasons and that’s fine too. Most people have an inmate, biological drive to do it, but not everyone does either. If you really are only 14 as some of the comments say, it’s perfectly normal to want it right now and it’s perfectly normal to not want it. Just be safe about it. You don’t need to jump into something right away just because your peers are doing it.

I was only a kid when we still had smoking vs non smoking sections, but I remember how odd I thought it was back then.

The pungent smell of smoke permeated the air throughout the entire restaurant. Usually there was not even a door separating smoking from non smoking. Idk what they were hoping to accomplish.

I am trashy and stereotypical. It’s unironically ranch for me.

I was with most of this until the selective breeding part. Did prehistoric humans have a concept of this? Do we have evidence of that? If so, that sounds rather interesting. I’m just a bit skeptical is all.

What do you mean about the nose feeling funny thing?
