Interesting. I lean more towards equity rather than equality, and giving options rather than removing them.

Having bowel movements as infrequently as a few times a week is still considered healthy. Perhaps not as healthy as daily, but that isn’t the point of this discussion. Doing the speed limit in most areas of North America means this trip could be done in about 14 hours, plus fueling time (I’ve done a similar trip in 10). If she sped just 10% over the speed limit, which is generally considered little enough to not attract the attention of the police in my area, she could have done it in less than 13. Not only is it conceivable she could have done this without having to poop, if she managed her fluid intake, she quite possibly could have done this without having to pee.

None of this has any bearing on whether she did poop or pee, but she was an astronaut, and astronauts are known for their ability to plan ahead. And I suspect any denial issues she had (what else is going to make you think continuing a relationship with a kidnapping is going to have a happy ending?) didn’t revolve around her waste elimination processes. So she could very well have worn undergarments to deal with those problems as a precautionary measure and just not used them.

I’m not sure I get what you’re saying? You’re a guy and can’t stop yourself from staring at other guys’ chests?

It’s absolutely cultural, like so many sexual taboos, but it is a pretty common cultural norm.

Guys in general like breasts and, until going topless is normalized, those who do will get looks. It’s awkward, I’m sure. Perhaps we need a topless pride parade so no one is singled out and we can jumpstart the change in social norms.

Similar for me. In the moment, talking about dying doesn’t feel like a joke. After you’ve seen enough and come out the other side, death doesn’t feel significant or threatening enough to have to worry about joking about. I feel like those who joke about killing themselves have either never felt like doing it or have confronted it and moved on.

And suicide jokes are probably best kept for groups where you know where people are. A lot of people mask being suicidal by joking around and putting a lot of work into being upbeat, often surprising those who only know them superficially when they commit suicide.

…as long as they aren’t bombing stuff.

Which brings up interesting questions about liberty and if you have a right to help people who can’t ask for help or don’t want it.

I’m not sure how lazy you are, or how much you like to experiment, but someone on Lemmy mentioned Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. While it isn’t hyperbole, it will be a while before you reach this speed.

The big points for me are that most of the steps are, “do something else while stuff happens.” There is no kneading and no need for special tools, although a big container you can mostly seal and something that can withstand having water poured into it while being at oven temperatures are a big help. A mixer with a dough hook is also helpful if you don’t want to put in the effort to mix by hand, but a bowl, plastic wrap, a wooden spoon, and measuring spoons and cups are all you need.

I liked the results enough to buy their book, and everything I’ve made has turned out at worst alright (which isnt a whole lot because…lazy). Depending on the recipe, you can store the dough in the fridge for a couple weeks (do this regularly), or you can parbake and freeze loaves (never done this). Before doing this, I had only made bread in a bread machine, which never worked out too well for me, or helping my mom with kneading decades ago, which I hated.

When a highly educated genius has shower thoughts. Or gets high.

It also goes to any TV or radio they’re using! The fools!

Someday in the distant future, there is going to be a very confused archeologist.

Not to dismiss the very real problem you raise, but that only has to be solved once per hardware configuration. This is why digital piracy is so successful - you only need the efforts of some very talented individuals to solve that particular problem and you’re good. As hard as that may be, it’s still simpler than manufacturing and assembling hardware where accuracy to 1/1000" in a dust-feee environment is a requirement.

The one thing I’m not egalitarian about- straight men need to be taught to pee sitting down, or at least lift the seat, damn. I know it’s not all of you, but there are a couple of animals out there that need help. :p

This isn’t really a gender issue, either, but I acknowledge men tend to be more of a problem here. But the solution is simple and egalitarian (or feminist, if you prefer): If you make a mess, clean it up. It also works in places besides the bathroom.

It’s also worth noting that there’s good evidence that cats self-domesticated, much more than dogs did. This will also have an impact on the relationship, with cats basically doing cat things for us on their terms and dogs doing dog things for us on our terms.

Well, it looks like you’re seeing two side to this topic and I, and possibly the op, see at least 3.

What does antinatalism being a slur have to do with the topic at hand?

Because I’m curious what your opinion is, and you’ve made a point of speaking on a very closely related topic.

So what is calling anyone who has a child a breeder?

It’s absolutely possible, quite likely now. It would probably be too big a project to do anywhere but earth and maybe the moon right now. But the doors it would open if completed…

First, we need an autofactory. This is not a minor step.
