Boo. The idea is it wouldn't be permanent.

A better example is doctors who deal with the amputations or the paralyzed should have their legs or arms bound for a day to experience the struggle.

When it's a fair comparison it also sounds like a damn good idea.

The surgeon might try harder to save that leg, the physical therapist (? Is that the right doctor) might better understand the small everyday issues their patients deal with.

For breast cancer color - did you know pink used to be a boys color and blue girls? I see no reason the color couldn’t stay pink

I did know that interesting fact. Funny story that's loosely related is my family talked me out of naming my son Ashley. Ashley is originally a boys name.

Another fascinating thing is that pink wasn't the original color for breast cancer charity or spreading information at all. I can't remember the original color but companies didn't want to pay to actually help anything at all, they also didn't want to actually put effort in to explaining anything or educating anyone... so they switched to "awareness" and picked pink because it wasn't trademarked or owned

Basically they wanted to look like they cared but wanted to do absolutely nothing. So... Pink ribbon with the tag of "aware" We helped make you aware that this is a thing that happens. That's free and easy.

Losing what?

I can tell you for a fact if men had boobs our bras would have pockets.

Edit: oh God... I just realized... If men had boobs "dapper Daniel" would use a French cuff bra instead of normal hook kind. It would be secured with a solid gold and pearl bra-cufflink that no one would even notice except he brings it up constantly and scoffs that I'm not taking enough pride in my appearance because I use the hook kind.

God damnit Daniel, no one cares but you. I've never had a date walk away because of my clasp. They walk away from you all the time because when you say "the square alabaster shows loyalty, the round topaz shows I'm driven" all they hear is that you need to control every micro aspect of life and they won't be allowed to where heals anymore because they might be a 1/17th of an inch taller than you. So keep your opinions to yourself you greasy haired little weasel.

Lol yeah I know a few people like that. I'm asexual so I almost never want to discuss boobs. Unless maybe conversations about the concept or idea of boobs. For example:

If men also grew full on boobs instead of just nipples.... Would women be attracted to them? Would look for men with larger boobs? Would they want to motor boat them?

I know what your first thought is... "Well if you've had any lesbian friends"

I have, but that doesn't give a meaningful answer. Lesbians like women, boobs are on the physical characteristics of a woman that are different than men's bodies. What lesbians do or do not find attractive is irrelevant for this hypothetical.

If both men and women had boobs, how would that affect how sexy the boobs would be? How would that affect society? Would women walking around shirtless be more normal? Would breast cancer ribbons still be pink?

These are the questions I don't want to bother my friends and family with at 2 am lol.

I'll try that one too. Thank you.

Ive been out of the loop with AI stuff, I never thought much about them until I saw the AI girlfriend ads on you tube. Then I started thinking that might be perfect for thinking out loud and figuring stuff out.

It very quickly became clear the girlfriend aps are programmed exclusively (and lazily ) for lonely horny people. I probably should have expected that from the ads but I figured if it's AI it could learn commands like "stop trying to change the subject to boobs"... Nope...

I will check that one out when I have a moment. I bookmarked it. Thank you.

I guess I should also add for clarity that I'm aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.

That's also not really what I'm looking for either. I don't need "how can I brew my own mead"

I'm looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we've had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.

I'm not looking to pretend it's real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.

Edit: again to clarify. I mentioned my low bar expectation of "wow, that wild". My high bar, what I really a looking for is an AI that gives responses like "that sounds similar to the problem you mentioned last week, how did you handle that?"

So I can be like "yeah it is kinda similar, I didn't think about that"

That would be the high bar. I'd pay maybe $5 for that experience.

Final clarifying edit: after reading my own post I'm thinking to myself, if this was posted by someone else I'd answer with something like:

"Sounds like you're describing a therapist. AI therapists have a lot of issues but real human ones are getting cheaper with online appointments"

And that would be a very fair answer. Although I might benefit from a therapist, we all would. I'm talking more about mundane daily thoughts and talking to a therapist daily even online would be expensive.

I'm familiar with the history of Hawaii and how we subjugated the island. I'm familiar with how we forced the queen into resignation to further business interests.

But let's not bullshit each other here. If someone says "I hate Hawaii" they aren't making a statement of colonialism. They just don't like Hawaii.

Right or wrong, Hawaii isn't a homogeneous population in so much much that saying "I hate Hawaii" can be assumed to be a commentary on a specific peoples.

I've never gotten a single ticket in 20 years of driving. Maybe try telling that to a mirror instead.

"can we make this fast five a bit faster please"

It's actually pretty normal to talk shit about various states and cities. Sometimes for no reason at all.

If he had made that same joke about Hawaii I'd probably laugh. It's context of racism that makes it awful.

Is that you Stephen? I don't think it's going to impact your sales. You could take a shit on the side walk and it would make it to the top 20, and get it's own movie.

You are such a foolish child.

You once saw a person run a stop sign in a bike, right? They put their own life in danger .

A car runs a stop and they put other people's lives in danger.

It's not equal at all. The car is worse, it's a lot worse.

I've got no advice but as a manager that is crazy and even more crazy that it's also come up for me today.

One of my employees told me one of my managers put her on the top of the list for bad employees. A literal list.

That's obviously inappropriate and I'll be talking with my manager about why there is a physical list and why they are sharing it.

On a personal level... Wtf.... There are like 4 people below you... You need a physical list to keep track? I obviously recognize who is a hard worker and who isn't, but there isn't a paper list. Wtf?

I'm new to this platform and can't tell if I already replied to this or not.

I totally understand and agree with your point. In case I already replied to this I'll just give my short answer.

If I could snap my finger and magically make a perfect capitalist system (or socialist for that matter) no corruption or greed. Starting absolutely fresh and right with the perfect principles in place for the system... And also all of us people started fresh, well rested, well fed, thinking clearly...

I think people would still buy the cheapest chocolate and ignore the slaves, they'd still shop at Walmart, and I'd still book the cheap airline ticket and complain I have no leg room, and a handful of super rich elites would quickly regain literally all the power.

You absolutely nailed it on the head with everything thing you said, that's exactly why I don't call out system true capitalism. I also agree the lives we are forced to live prevent us from having time to sort this stuff out.

I just don't think we'd be less lazy (myself included) even if we did have the time and energy. I feel the same problem in both systems.

1)good idea

2. revaluation

3. get lazy

4. back to essentially where we started.

Infrastructure doesn't necessarily mean roads. Although I haven't heard of anyone using this money to make public transportation better I have heard stories of cities using this money to improve pedestrian and bike infrastructure.

That's not reasonable to assume. Let me prove it?

Are you Food Safety Certified from a credited organization? No?

Then obviously your cooking must be poisonous.

I however am food safety certified. I cannot cook at all. Suck at cooking. I do know proper temps, and how to store food. I still cannot cook.

Having a license only PROVES you know the rules. Having one doesn't mean your GOOD at thing or even that you will FOLLOW the rules. It just proves you KNOW the rules.

Likewise not having a license doesn't mean you DONT know the rules or WONT follow the rules. It only means you haven't proven to a licensing body that you do.

I don't have a medical license, but I know you shouldn't take opioids every day of your life or you'll get addicted to them. Clearly many doctors did not know that or did not care.

Edit: hell one more fun one.

When I was in school we had a state issued standardized test called the TAAS test. I got a perfect score every single year. Got every single question in the entire test, every category, correct. 100 percent.

However I was failing most of my classes. Did I know the material or did I not? One certificate said I exceptional and perfect, the other certificate says I was far below my peers.

Which one was right?

I don't own a bike. I walk and drive.
