Well they definitely get bigger when the rhythm is right. Do it enough and they can be your weapon of choice.

Straight men don't need to write about sex; a lot of us are terrible at it. Read Dan Savage instead, he'll sort you.

The AITA subs are mostly exercises in short fiction.

Cylusthevirus, to asklemmy in How do I get my sense of taste back after covid?
@Cylusthevirus@kbin.social avatar

I've heard some good things about fluticasone propionate. Normally it's an over the counter allergy med (nasal spray), but I saw a study where a lot of people that used it got their sense of smell (and by extension a lot of taste) back in about 5 days.

Worth a try, at any rate. They sell it at Costco and most drug stores.

How many forks could a forklift lift if a forklift could lift forks.

Okay but Henry Cavill is simply unfair to the rest of humanity.

Dad stop.

Cylusthevirus, to asklemmy in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

I have a theory that moral traits, like many other things in nature, follow a normal distribution. If I'm right, we can make some estimates of who would violate social rules given the chance. The bottom 5% of the distribution are going to do some terrible things. About 45% are going to be kind of shit, maybe not terrible. The remainder will be some level of decent to pretty well behaved, actually. Admittedly, that depends on what we think the mean level of morality really is. Having observed many a group of kids playing, I don't think it's that bad. Honestly that's why so many teenage edgelords and doomers get told to go touch grass; reality will almost never be as bleak as we think it will be. There's a well documented cognitive bias towards negative events, but it IS a bias.

The Boys isn't realistic so much as it's a deliberate deconstruction of the genre and a bit of speculative fiction ("What if Superman was a sociopath" seems to be the question it asks). It has elements of satire too, so it's not really concerned with being fair so much as creating the story conditions that allow it to show us its narrative.

If you want a more "realistic" superhero show I think the 2012 movie Chronicle is more plausible. And yeah it does go badly for some but not for others.

I got to visit Scotland once and was told in no uncertain terms that we were not to refer to the weather as "cold."

It might be brisk. It might even be bracing. But never cold. Has to be something to it.
