I work in railways, and one of the main certifications everyone who's actually doing real work has to get is "Don't Touch", which is literally a course in not touching anything you weren't specifically instructed to touch.

I work in infosec and would presumably fail very hard. I want to give it a try some day though.

The Cosby countdown was fun because of the mystery and pointlessness. The Star Trek meme is fun in itself, especially when posted excessively.

The countdown did age horribly because of the rape unfortunately.

I assume that it's an excuse to demand gifts from your guests as well. I also suspect that it's a pushback by scared sheltered white people to the growing acceptance of gender fluidity.

How do you buy baby gifts without knowing the genitalia of the baby? If there's one thing that becoming a parent had taught me, it's that every baby related thing must be pink or light blue depending on the genitalia.

Equating genitalia with gender identity reinforces the idea that gender must always follow sex. In that way, it is anti-trans. It also reinforces rigid gender expectations, which is generally bad. Neither is usually intentional, but that doesn't make it less real.

Isn't foot fetish super common actually? Like 10-20% of the population? Also it's harmless as gently caress obviously.

I don't have a bone in the fight though, I'm mostly aesthetically agnostic, whatever adult lets me gently caress it and/wants to gently caress me is cool.

My understanding is that when you chart the trend over time, mens stated interest in sex looks basically like a chart of testosterone levels, peaking at 19 and slowly but steadily dropping from there, whereas womens trend peaks at 16, goes into a trough in the mid 20's, and then peaks again, but higher, in the early-mid 30's.

I think 2 things about this:

1) Lots of folks view of the world kinda crystallizes in their mid 20's which would get a lot of hetero dudes stuck in a "girls aren't as horny as dudes" mindset.

2) The lowered interest in sex across the population of women in their mid 20's is probably due to being drowned in overt male sexual interest since puberty.

Being around men who are horny for me for 5-10 years would take the horniness or of me, gotta be honest. Best case because I'm bored being hosed, but realistically because men are horrible.

Also, the whole thing about even being labelled as sluts and the negative social implications thereof probably has some relation to overt expressions of horniness.

That's actually how a good (data) scientist should write. Unless they have conclusive, irrefutable proof, you should couch your findings in that type of language.

Also, it's not a hard scientific article. Just some freelance article for a popsci website.

This. Proof only exists in two sciences (one of which is arguably a subfield of the other): mathematics and formal logic. In any other field, and very explicitly those with large amounts of data, you can only say that there is a correlation that is super unlikely to be random. And then you can suggest an explanation of why that might be.

Is there no point where sufficiently universal correlation is considered proof? Is there still technically some doubt that dogs are mammals?

Technically, yes. But in the same way that there's a chance that my penis if currently inside you according to quantum mechanics. For all practical purposes, we are sure that dogs are mammals.

It's an important, but often overlooked, part of the scientific method.

Just gonna point out that giving free samples of a highly addictive substance is a good way of getting more people addicted to your product. The trick is that they have know the connection between the sample and the effect, so drug laced Halloween candy is dumb.

Roughly 20 years ago a friend of mine stole some weed from his dad's stash and smoked it with me. It tasted awful, smelled awful, burnt oddly, and I spent a few hours after very very worried that the snake like creature that lived inside me was trying to come up out of my throat and then I would die. My friend had a similarly odd and awful experience. To this day it's the only laced weed I've ever seen or smoked that I hadn't laced myself.

That sounds a lot like a dad that wants to keep the kids out of his stash, either for selfish or self-righteous reasons.

We know that humans pee for 21 seconds, and we can probably find out the average volume. What we need now is the speed water needs to penetrate skin and/or break bone, and we can go backwards and calculate how small the urethra must be to unload the volume at the given speed within the 21 seconds.
