Why does this thread keep veering back to creepy reddit porn?

Because it’s a thread about Reddit, that’s why!

I legitimately enjoy r/fountainpens. It's always so helpful and positive. Everyone just giving help and kudos. Posts where someone posts something they've written in a new ink, it looks wonderful, their writing is beautiful, photography shows off the sheen, etc.

And then in the comments there's people talking about how great the ink/pen/paper is, and their experience, even if it's pricey or cheap. Or even better is when they don't like it but acknowledge personal tastes and hope the poster is loving it because it seems lovely but they don't.

It is the best subreddit imo.

The Tinder sub is great, because you get to watch people post themselves being obnoxious and sabotaging a chance of a happy future for a handful of dweebs to press an up arrow on the internet.

r/badmathematics is wonderful as well. I read it and r/MasterHacker every day, even if I don’t get some of the reasoning occasionally in both subjects. Nobody destroys hope for a high school pothead that just solved Reimann like a math professor or grad student in the specific program!

I guess I'm too old to navigate reddit. Last time I went there to just check it out I wanted to browse their forums and couldn't find a way to do that. Like, no categorization or anything.

If I google something random and there is a reddit thread about it I'll look (and I hate the layout/functioning) but I never google things specifically for reddit which is what my friend told me to do to "browse" reddit.

Nah I don't think that means you're old. I've managed to figure out Reddit's layout and search systems and still think they're clunky garbage. You probably just hate bad site design.

Yeah I guess I just didn't want to tolerate it. I'd have to "learn" how to use it since it isn't... I can't think of the word, innovative. It'd take effort and I have less patience now. So it makes me think, "well that's the future since reddit is so popular so I must be the one wrong here."

I'm glad people in here think the same.

It helps (me at least) to only use the old.reddit.com redirect to at least make the layout somewhat more palatable than whatever it looks like now without it

I have a Reddit account that mirrors some of the threads that I follow here. Hobby subreddits are pretty good, too, and tend to draw younger-but-serious or older, established professionals in the field (I got out of school 20 years ago but some of the students’ posts or the occasional professors who post are usually pretty upfront and factual). The r/Malware*** are fascinating personally to me, because seeing how the evolution of malware follows rules in genetics/mol.bio is impossible in most other communities! I only use the app, though…the site layout sucks balls on any desktop

They enjoy browsing the various subreddits related to malware ("r/Malware***", presumably the *** is a wildcard because there's a bunch of them that all start with malware), because they're able to follow the evolution of malware and through it observe that it follows similar evolutionary rules that are present in genetics and molecular biology.

...which is still a tad confusing, as you'd think, y'know, virology would be a much more apt comparison. But I know nothing about computer viruses nor genetics/molecular biology/virology so.

One of the most prolific viruses ever, Stuxnet, would infect a computer and then check whether that computer ran software used by the Iranian government. If not, the virus went dormant. If yes, it would scan for any centrifuges networked to the computer, and make them self-destruct.

I did my undergrad in genetics at Ole Miss and graduated medical school in Memphis in 2001. A long article on Stuxnet reminded me of stuff we were doing with HIV and some bacterial infections that were acting virus-like after small mutations allowed them to change and become resistant to not just antibiotics but bleach as well. The “evasion” and “dormancy” phases of some primo protein-viruses mirror the computer anti-viruses vs. regular computer viruses and worms.
Malware (*** is a wildcard because I follow 3 subreddits with similar themes) follows “real life” evolutionary patterns the same way epidemics happen. I do not follow any CS subs, same as not following some toxic communities’ threads on this forum. I do apologize for not more clearly explaining why some subreddits are fine whereas some are horrible.

Edit: the two preceding posts above are dead-on point.

quote:

For those that aren't aware, at around 64 days retaining seed, sperm undergo "Spermatogenesis", which means sperm you've cultivated reach full maturity and potency, which is nature's intention for creating a child.

No wonder disease and mental health issues are higher than ever, because most of us are born from a week's cultivation (if we're lucky), because our fathers were most likely subject to perennial ejaculation indoctrination, meaning we developed from infantile seed.

What kind of fruit will a tree bear if said fruit is harvested in its infancy? Now, what kind of fruit will become of a seedling who has been allowed the correct conditions, nutrients and time to grow into what it is destined to be? I digress, but you get the sentiment. We were all grown from infantile seedling. Which means we were not given the optimum start in life. We are weaker and less powerful than we could of been, had we of received optimum growing conditions.

Imagine how powerful the human race would be if we all grew from Spermatogenesis seed? That is a nation of warriors, divine beings who are not so easily manipulated and controlled.

Now I understand why we are indoctrinated to perennially spill our seed. To keep us weak. In addition, to ensure that future generations perpetuate the weakness. They don't want an army of fully developed beings in existence, because Spermatogenesis babies are revolution babies.

Cultivate your seed. Give your child the best start in life as nature intended, and let's change the world together.

EDIT: Thank you to those who kindly corrected me; all sperm reach Spermatogenesis state before they are ejaculated, Spermatogenesis is not the result of retaining for 64 days. Apologies for the misinformation.

I have not deleted this article as despite the misinformation on Spermatogenesis which I have addressed, I feel that doesn't negate the weight this post carries and its underlying message; men who excessively ejaculate are weaker and will evidently have weaker seed and therefore weaker offspring.

It’s really stupid because what does it affect if you have a lot of sex instead of whackin’ your junk? It’s more fun but for a male (me) there’s nothing really physically different between the two (not including the intimacy that makes sex emotionally more healthy).

Before my divorce my wife and I had sex at least twice a day, seven days a week (not always PiV, but it slowed some once my son got old enough to get out of bed and open our door!).

I’m not trying to brag, I’m trying to imagine the physical difference (for men) between constantly loving and jerkin’ your business four times a day. Does this turd have a theory addressing this? I would really like to see the “methods” in that paper!

Also, my doctor straight up told me to not gently caress or masturbate for a week before my physical because I always had protein in my urine samples and I was on anti-psychotics that cause weight/metabolism trouble and he thought I was trending toward type 2 diabetes. Guess the protein source :agesilaus: [sub](again, this was twenty five years ago and I’ve not had any type of physical affection in three years so I’m passing the urine tests now)
