I mean, some people enjoy going out into energetic crowds.

Yes, I’m pretty sure this is a fake gift box that The Onion used to sell.

Eh I wouldn’t count on that. It’s not like assholes all get along with one another.

Hm, I can’t remember the name of it, but I do recall some discussion about why smiles look fake with regard to “hide the pain harold”. The conclusion seemed to be that it’s just how his face is.

If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.

LOL. I mainly got the idea of using genetic modification to increase diversity of a small population from the book Seveneves.

It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You’d probably want to hedge your bets in case there’s a low survival rate. There’s a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

Compared to wild animals that are in pain and hunger most of the time? Nature doesn’t optimize for happiness. Unhappy creatures are more likely to seek out the things they need to survive and propogate.

Still, I understand the line of thought. My cat sometimes acts very upset when I’m not giving him enough attention or when I make him get off my lap when he’s comfy. I think this is probably just learned behavior (he acts emotionally manipulative because it triggers a reaction from me), but sometimes I worry that because his realm of experience is so limited, that minor inconveniences are literally the worst things he experiences and therefore seem quite terrible to him. I don’t really know which is true.

Oh no, boobs.

And by inverted you mean inverted from their proper inverted position. So uninverted. Which is the inverse of correct.

I think life situation is probably more important than strictly age. If you’re an independent 30 year old working a full time job you probably don’t want to date a college student that lives with their parents.

I thought this was going to be an ICE joke. Mario definitely overstayed his mushroom kingdom visa.

The fact that I get this makes me think I’ve wasted too much of my life on the internet

Perhaps, but in my mind a haircut is a service you pay for. You go somewhere for a haircut, you cut your hair at home.

Makes sense. Outside of people who get unibrows, it really would not have been typical for guys to do eyebrow maintenance when I was growing up. Not sure if that’s changed now…younger guys seem more into fashion and grooming these days in general.

I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.

Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

CatGPT is it your dinner time?

You’d think Coloradoans would get tired of looking at mountains, but you would be mistaken.

“Link aggregator” is more appropriate than news aggregator.
