  • The #1 thing Ive used AI for is commenting my code. It is pretty good at following my format and generating code documentation, based on my existing code.

    It’s also really good at helping me think of a good name for something, if there’s a specific word on the tip of my tongue. “Whats the word for when you do the thing with the thingy?” “It sounds like you are looking for (word)”

    Also its really good for helping me find the name of specific algorithms for use cases.

    “Is there a known algorithm I can look up that can fenangle a dinger?”

    “You might be looking for the Ferg Dergeson Flemming algorithm, which is a popular way to fenangle dingers”

    Then Ill look it up and it is, indeed, like the best way to fenangle a dinger and I’m like “well holy shit, this is a solved problem turns out, I shoulda known”

    I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

    You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

    You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

    That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

    Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.




  • All the electronics inside are very much capable of combustion.

    Your power supply inside the printer body for example can very much fail and burst into flames.

    And tbh it’s not that uncommon for that to happen with 3d printers. They’re often made with very cheap parts and prone to cheap work on the inside bits.

    Add on how much of a high wattage load they meed to handle for extended periods of time and yeah, sometimes the inner wiring bursts into flames and the whole thing goes up.

    I always recommend keeping a cheap lil smoke alarm directly overhead any 3d printer, seriously. Those fuckers can very much spontaneously burst into flames lol




  • This is already to some degree an existing dilemma. There are already individuals out there who, due to genetic lottery, happen to have an adult body that through some efforts of clothing, makeup, hairstyle, etc, can very much present themselves as substantially younger looking than their actual age.

    Lord knows certain popular niches in the porn industry make this apparant… >_>;

    And from what I have heard on social media, sometimes these individuals couple up with another person who… doesnt look substantially younger.

    And often, these couples face quite a bit of controversy and social stigma, despite everything they are doing and into being 100% legal and, from am objective standpoint, ethically fine (they are two consenting adults after all)

    But I agree that future tech with things like gene editing and whatnot this dilemma will certainly become substantially more pronounced and I think it will likely be yet another group being attacked for daring to live their lives.




  • This one is really interesting. Primarily speaking ants a good example of where this type of genetic expression is taken to its logical extreme.

    It’s basically the “aunt” and “uncle” survival trait that shows up in communal creatures. Homosexuality shows up in creatures that both need to raise their young and stay together in herds. So humans of course very much satisfy this condition.

    So how’s this relate to ants (and bees and termites too)?

    In a colony, technically speaking everyone is the queens offspring, so everyone are siblings.

    The queens aletes (prince and princess ants if you will) are only the queens offspring, all the drones dont sexually reproduce.

    Yet, the drones all care for the offspring as if they are their own, that’s kinda weird from a survival standpoint right?

    Well it’s simple, the drones are clones of the queen, so they also heavily share genetics with the offspring. From a genetic standpoint there’s no difference.

    So if the drones take care of the offspring like their own, and the offspring go on to mate, then the drones genetics also propagate. They have a evolutionary pressure to raise the babies despite not having any of their own.

    The same occurs for homosexuality. Human babies are a lot of work to take care of, and if you have a sibling you share a lot of genetics, then you have an evolutionary pressure to take care of your nephews and neices. It’s the “next best” option to propagating your own children. The genetic difference isn’t much worse.

    So what ends up happening is you have an evolutionary benefit if a percent of your population is born homosexual, as they will help with raising their nieces and nephews, and it turns out this combo has a net higher survival rate than just everyone being hetero.

    So over thousands of years we get this gradual pressure to settle on a sweet spot of some % of us being gay.

    This is also a solid explanation for the “fifth brother” thing, where every son a mother has is exponentially more likely to be gay. We haven’t fully isolated what causes it (its prolly hormones) but it’s a well known occurring phenomina that the more older brothers you have, the more likely you are to be gay.

    Based on the above supposition, it’d 100% make sense from an evolution standpoint for mothers to produce homosexual offspring if they have multiple healthy children, as after a certain point it makes sense strategy wise to have a couple gay uncles/aunts that naturally help their older siblings with childcare.

    It’s just way way better for survival in nature if not everyone is pumping out babies, and a handful just aren’t into that but still take care of their family.

    Basically it’s quality over quantity!


  • Mature women is straightforward, older = more knowledge and capable.

    Pretty much everything else you listed is about trust, so I’d say that trust is a very big thing you value in a partner, and due to humans very long time they spend dependant on parents and our community survival strategy, trust is very much a trait that is selected for.

    People that are untrustworthy are unattractive, a lot of kinks primarily build on top of publicly shameful acts in private, which is effectively the ultimate trust fall exercise.

    Feeling like you can trust a partner with such acts is very very positively reinforced genetically, so it becomes sexually attractive.

    In short: because humans live together and make complex communities, trust is important, which means getting kinky is very sexy as it signals deep rooted trust.


  • “Small” breasts typically are still large compared to a man’s chest.

    There are other factors than size anyways, for any feature. For breasts as an example, symmetry, skin clarity, and firmness will also signal a healthy prospective mate.

    “Small” breasts usually actually means “not sagging due to age”, as naturally speaking breasts, cheeks, and the neck of humans are common areas where sagging due to collagen levels can be witnessed in older age, so these are common cited areas of sexyal attraction.

    So “small” breasts really just means “not old”, which is fairly normal to signal the health of a potentional sexual partner.


  • To activate monkey neurons, it has to be an indicator of health.

    As an example, large breasts indicate health, as malnourishment during adolescence tends to result in smaller breasts later on.

    Muscles indicate health as well, so they tend to be considered attractive.

    For non health related features, like a symmetrical face, those ones are the non sexual dimorphic characteristics, as those ones you care about transferring regardless of sex. Both men and women want a symmetrical face, basically.

    So a large Adam’s apple is both a dimorphic feature and a non indicator of health, so its ignored.



  • You will need to open some ports, but ideally you just open up 1 port for a VPN and call it a day.

    If you want a really easy solution you can buy one of the mid to high end routers that comes with a built in OpenVPN you can enable, and you just do the process to have it be the router for your network (usually by setting your modem to pass through mode and then have your personal router immediately next in line, and it becomes the actual router of the network)

    If you do a search you should find a few decent models out there with OpenVPN support, and then its just a matter of enabling the feature in the router’s interface and following its guide and then installing OpenVPN on your mobile phone(s)
