She’s a long sandwich???

Colloquially, the word “robot” always implies a certain amount of anthropomorphism. So no, I don’t think a vibrator would count, as basically no vibrators on the market try to look human-like.

But that definitely is a weird difference between male and female sexuality - the sex toys women buy most are the very effective and utilitarian ones: Vibrator wands, Rabbits, Air pulse Vibrators etc.

While the most popular tools for men tend to focus on “realism”(?): Fleshlights, Sex Dolls, things like VR and POV porn. And I guess sex robots would fall into that category too in the future.

I can absolutely see the weirdness-factor of someone who is desperately trying to emulate a partner rather than just accept masturbation as a solo activity and optimize it from there 😬

The forgotten coffee problem was my main reason for switching to oatmilk. If it stands around uncooled with cow milk for too long it grosses me out, but oatmilk isn’t as volatile so I don’t mind drinking yesterday’s coffee.

I almost missed picking up my meds yesterday because I was playing Minecraft VR … took like 2 hours between realizing I need to go pick them up and tearing off the headset and only half-turning everything off, because I got caught in wanting to turn the game off in a state where I’d remember what I was working on, so I had to return home, and then I had to fix a machine I was tinkering with, and then my crops were ready so I had to pick them, and then a trader wandered in and I wanted something before he disappeard so I had to scrape up money…

Sooo… where do we go after stage 3? The meds just make me nap a lot :(

Even better, imagine being a 35-year old streamer with a kid, and other parents at the preschool ask you about your job.

(Spoiler: some really good anecdotes come from that, see Northernlion)

Oh god, mom is one of those project managers that sets up way too many Teams meetings

It’s a great strategy, but exclusively for software engineering. Weird tech bros who want to run the world like a software company inherently don’t understand that fact.

He was pressuring his employees to go faster with testing and development, as their competitor (I believe it was Synchron) got approved for human trials way faster.

Well, “move fast and break things” isn’t really a good mindset while performing animal trials, and after about 1500 deaths, many due to botched and rushed brain surgery, the research facility actually got audited for animal cruelty allegations (which happens SO rarely because the law basically allows anything when you say it’s “research”).

Can’t tell, must be some sort of japanese animal. Tanuki?

I’m only a regular so far, but my theory is that seniors don’t have that much more knowledge or skill - they’re just much more comfortable in putting out fires and don’t get as stressed when they don’t know what to do. I aspire to become as hardened as that some day haha
