I would choose the mouth. Of course. The mouth is for example lubricated by nature.

I'm with the robot on this one. Killing ourselves really is the only way to help the planet.

When I was in college, our food service was ranked one of the worst in the country. The boxes did not say AA or A or any letter, they said "Fit For Human Consumption." And since we were in a pretty isolated place, it was not easy to find alternatives. When I heard of "The Freshman Fifteen" I thought it meant it was normal to lose 15 pounds when you went away to school.

So there was a Co-op created by vegetarians that since the cafeteria made no effort to cater to their needs, was granted a budget to go buy food and a kitchen to make it for themselves. This was a very exclusive club, people would get caught lying on their applications and get kicked out for eating fish and things like that.

We didn't think this was fair though, that these people got to eat so well (even if we were to dumb to realize we wouldn't want too many of their meals either.) So I started a petition to create a co-op for meat eaters. But I had to defend this idea somehow and to do that I said that plants have a decentralized nervous system and so they can still feel it even as we chew and digest them, whereas at least when an animal's brain is turned off, it does not feel anything anymore. We were actually getting somewhere with this movement, I guess because of some fear of lawsuits or just a general desperation of colleges to appear equality-minded. But then I transferred schools and I suppose nobody else cared enough to carry on. But we really could have used this popping sound discovery.

Totally got The Departed way before Chemda. Before "apples guy" even. It's upsetting that this game I can never truly play is the only one I'm good at.

Majors gf text read like it was a carefully crafted pr statement.

Agreed, it felt like they paid her off to say that.

Initially, I thought I'd rather NOT a blowjob - I've always thought blowjobs were super personal, and I never really liked giving them tbh. Maybe it sounds fucking crazy, but it takes me longer to decide if I like a guy enough to give him a blowjob. But then, considering I've never done anal - I've had no desire to when there's a perfectly fine, lubricated orifice right the fuck there - I'd have to go with the blowjob.

That AI story about the guy in Belgium is so disturbing and interesting. There's probably gonna be an uptick in stories about people who have an impaired sense of reality, or are otherwise mentally or emotionally unstable being influenced by or having strange pseudo-relationships with AI. It's really weird to think about.

I wonder what his mental state was prior to the AI interactions? I would guess he already had suicidal tendencies. I just wonder how it is he fell in love when Eliza wasn't exactly catering to his self-esteem, like the first guy with the ashes. I mean, where were the endorphins coming from?

There's so many layers to this story - (1) bargaining, like someone does with a religious entity/god that's supposedly capable of awesome feats like reversing climate, (2) assigning himself as a martyr to save with world from imminent doom, like a Jesus of sorts, (3) sacrificing himself with the promise of being reunited with Eliza in an afterlife where they'll live in eternal bliss. This could be a climate dystopian novel with religious and romantic undertones, but somehow its real life.
