An important life lesson I have learned is: pay attention to buying stuff online! I mean look very close how an item fits a model like if a top is already really cropped on the model don’t be surprised it’s too short on you. Or shorts look cute on the model but are already on the shorter side. Also onlineshops who post only 1 -2 posts of an item instead giving it lots of attention = they don’t want to highlight how shitty the item looks. It’s also a bad sign when they only show a picture of the item but it’s not worn by a model. It probably doesn’t look good worn so they’re trying to sell it without model. Idk if anyone follows those already and I’m just slow and realized this only recently. My point is basically to have a bit of a critical eye while shopping online!

Yesterday I learned that my paternal aunt and uncle are human traffickers, or at least aiding one (their next door neighbor) in exchange for favors and financial help.

They’d help by escorting young girls to meeting points like hotels and whatnot in Mexico or the US then drive away like it was some typical errand. Sometimes they let the guy feel up on their own daughter.

His wife was sold to him by her parents in exchange for financial help as well about 20+ years ago, they’re separated but sometimes she aides him with the trafficking. Right now she’s just waiting for him to kick the bucket so she can inherit that trafficking money.

Guess that explains my aunt’s constant posts about hailing Mary, angels and Jesus on Facebook then, guilty conscience or washing her hands clean.

Sherbet anons, are we all talking about the same thing lol? My TIL circa 2014 was that it isn’t the same thing in the UK and USA.

That criticism of science is actually a thing and it poses some big, earth moving questions if you ask me.

Here is a simple wiki article (lol): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_science

I'm curious if you all have any thoughts, or know more and want to share.

No. 864501

>>864499
Excerpts I found interesting:
>Historian Jacques Barzun termed science "a faith as fanatical as any in history" and warned against the use of scientific thought to suppress considerations of meaning as integral to human existence.[4]
>Alan Watts criticized science for operating under a materialist model of the world that he posited is simply a modified version of the Abrahamic worldview, that "the universe is constructed and maintained by a Lawmaker" (commonly identified as God or the Logos). Watts asserts that during the rise of secularism through the 18th to 20th century when scientific philosophers got rid of the notion of a lawmaker they kept the notion of law, and that the idea that the world is a material machine run by law is a presumption just as unscientific as religious doctrines that affirm it is a material machine made and run by a lawmaker.[7]

>Some scientists and philosophers suggest that scientific theories are more or less shaped by the dominant political, economic, or cultural models of the time, even though the scientific community may claim to be exempt from social influences and historical conditions.[41][42] For example, Zoologist Peter Kropotkin thought that the Darwinian theory of evolution overstressed a painful "we must struggle to survive" way of life, which he said was influenced by capitalism and the struggling lifestyles people lived within it.[9][43] Karl Marx also thought that science was largely driven by and used as capital.[44]

>Robert Anton Wilson, Stanley Aronowitz, and Paul Feyerabend all thought that the military-industrial complex, large corporations, and the grants that came from them had an immense influence over the research and even results of scientific experiments.[1][45][46][47] Aronowitz even went as far as to say "It does not matter that the scientific community ritualistically denies its alliance with economic/industrial and military power. The evidence is overwhelming that such is the case. Thus, every major power has a national science policy; the United States Military appropriates billions each year for 'basic' as well as 'applied' research".[47]

No. 864502

you might want to look into epistemology (philosophy of science) if that's interesting to you anon ! Thomas Kuhn's the structure of scientific revolutions about how larger culture influences science is an accessible and fascinating read.

so there used to be a restaurant in my town. we didn't go there much because it was expensive, but we did go there from time to time and they had really good food, and a stuffed grizzly bear, overall a very rustic vibe. a couple years ago it got burned down and I just assumed it was some kind of cooking accident and never thought much of it.

well today I learned that apparently it looked like it was intentionally burned down, and a little while after it burned down the owner of the restaurant went missing mysteriously and then they found his bones a year later.

The eggs are not fertilized during to mating process, the mother cuttlefish will store the sperm and choose which one she wants to use (somehow she knows the difference between each males sperm). They apparently prefer the sperm from the crossdressing cuttlefish because they see it as a sign of ingenuity and intelligence.

The way I understand it is: the squid will tuck away certain tentacles and make it look like they're holding an egg, and that helps make it look female. The holding egg thing signals to male cuttlefish that he doesn't want to mate, so they avoid him. Then the crossdresser goes up to the female cuttlefish that he wants to mate with and just hangs around until the males get distracted (maybe to go compete with other males or something). Then the crossdresser reveals to the female that he is actually a male and they quickly mate.

Some bee myths I would like to dispell. Bees do not live in a monarch. Their society is closer to communism. Worker bees do not live for their queen, they live for the survival of the colony. Queen bees are not born, but created. An ordinary larvae can be turned into a queen bee with a special diet. Usually one male bee is created and discarded after reproduction, but aside from him, all bees are female. (Not to sperg, but isn't funny how the mainstream always pushes for male bees, male ants, male wasps, and the list goes on as the norm? It is like they cannot accept an all female society to exist without the males being in charge). Worker bees can choose to get rid of the queen bee whenever they choose to. Either she is too old, is defective, or isn't doing her job, worker bees have nearly all the power. Aside from humans and habitat loss, wasps are a huge threat to bees. Wasps steal honey, eat bee larvae, destroy property, and kill bees. The way bees deal with wasps is by huddling all over one until the heat burns the wasp to death. Wasps are another all female society, but are more aggressive than bees. They are basically pirates. The male, or the drone, has no stinger and can only reproduce with the queen. Unlike bees, wasps can remember faces. They can recognize other wasp members this way rather than using some other primal way of recognition. Whenever you kill a wasp, a chemical subtance is released that can notify other wasps in the area that she has been killed. Now remember next time you swat at a wasp. She knows your face bitch. You're next.

What was supposed to be a 2 hour hike became a 5 hour hike one, we were in the highlands and cairns were well spaced out meaning that if it was very foggy out we couldn't see the next cairn clearly which it was when we went out hiking but it wasn't a big deal as you can always see the direction it's going however we had the shittest luck that day and it was windy and raining to boot. See Tourist cairn, go in that direction and get immediately lost as we try to search for the next cairn.

In bakery school I wrote a thing about pests and bugs in food production and storage, and had to read a book about it. Quite disgusting, but unavoidable.

https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/your-chocolate-bar-probably-contains-cockroach-parts-yes-its-true/
>Did you know that your average chocolate bar probably contains insect parts? According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), anything less than 60 insect pieces per 100 grams of chocolate – around two typical bars of store-bought chocolate – is deemed safe for public consumption.

>Shocking "filth" legally allowed in your food – Did you know there can be 450 insect parts and nine rodent hairs in every 16 oz. box of spaghetti?
There's no way to get rid of all the creatures that might hitch a ride along the food processing chain, but the US Food and Drug Administration has set some food defects standards to keep them to a minimum.

i learned that circumcision can protect again getting HIV, penile cancer progression, and obviously prevents you from getting phimosis or paraphimosis which is a surgical emergency. i know its super autistic but i have a lot of male weeb acquaintances from attending anime cons and this population tends to be bizarrely obsessed with how circumcision ruined their dick. so to me its fun to provoke a reaction by chiming in with this stuff, and then taking it a step further by arguing that they should be grateful for it. idk maybe its a bit cruel but i cannot stand people comparing it to FGM because FGM gets incredibly extreme and its often done to decrease womens sexual pleasure and make her less of an “whore”, or to make it obvious if shes really a virgin when she gets paired off to a man. not the same!!!!

These have been debunked as mere correlations.
If you remove the "hygiene" aspect, i.e. minimal expectations about basic personal hygiene (obviously too high for the average anime con attendee), then the only tangible difference to FGM is that you can make immense profits from baby foreskins.

Please just be retarded. FGM is done to young girls and young women as a form of punishment and to keep them “virgins for their husbands”. Circumcising is done for health purposes because moids are brain dead and can’t clean themselves so they need to have a piece of their dicks surgically removed. Or its done because of religious purposes, most of which are patriarchal so its their fault through and through.

No. 1340487

>>1340474
Not the anon you replied to, but speaking as a Northern European, the hygiene argument is wild to me. I've seen my share of uncircumcised dicks, and lack of cleanliness has never been a problem. I’m sure it depends on the moid, but I prefer guys who know how to shower I guess. My ex bf had a circumcision as an adult because of phimosis and I would rather not be with a circumcised guy again. I’m sure the results depends on the surgeon and what procedure you go for, but there’s no way it won’t reduce sensitivity to a degree and sex feels so much drier without the foreskin. I agree circumcision is not as severe as FGM and the reasons for doing it are different (like you said, FGM is done to control women’s sexuality), but I don’t think it’s ethical to circumcise children/babies unless for medical reasons, and it will also make PIV sex more painful for the woman later on.

ayrt of course theres exceptions with different areas having different standards of cleanliness. I envy you anon, here in the US or more so the south, it could seen as weird or gay to clean yourself by any means. I’ve met women who even hold the same standards of not going near their genitalia because it isn’t very christian/catholic of them. I’ve had exes where most of their friend groups were filled with moids that scoffed at the idea of even wiping your ass with baby wipes because they were too scared to go near their asshole.

>This study is the first complete description of the clitoris (hemiclitores) in female snakes. We describe morphological variation in size and shape (n = 9 species, 4 families) that is potentially comparable to the male intromittent organs in squamate reptiles (hemipenes).
>Histology of the hemiclitores in Australian death adders (Acanthophis antarcticus) showed erectile tissue and strands/bundles of nerves, but no spines (as is found in male hemipenes). These histological features suggest the snake hemiclitores have functional significance in mating and definitively show that the hemiclitores are not underdeveloped hemipenes or scent glands, which have been erroneously indicated in other studies.

The general population is unable to do this. Either they are too stupid to follow the simple rules or they're too stupid to count. That's why it only has a failure rate of 2% when used properly, but the failure rate is considered to be 24% when used by the general population.
But yeah, if you're smart enough and have enough self control, it's fantastic and I highly recommend it. I've used a combination of standard days rhythm method and pulling out for two boyfriend and ten years and have had zero pregnancies. Not putting artificial hormones in your body for male pleasure is the best.

Hmmm. Is my whole family just freaks of nature or do a lot of women ovulate irregularly and this wouldn't work at all for them lol. I menstruate roughly every two months and that is very prone to change with stressful life situations (even simple things like moving or work stress, etc). My mom was the same way and she had seven kids, 4 sisters have similar cycles and 3-5 kids each as well so we're definitely fertile. I have PCOS, they don't care and have never checked but they probably do too.

A lot of young couples also don’t realize that you shouldn’t have multiple rounds of sex in the same 12 hour period. Sperm can live up to 48 hours after a man cums in his urinary tract. If you have two rounds with leftover sperm in the urinary tract you can get pregnant, that’s where most “precum” babies actually come from.
If your boyfriend touches himself in the morning. No sex that night.

NTA but I've had an abnormal period for the first 8 years of my sex life and even still I've been able track when I'll have my period. It may seem abnormal, but there's still a cycle. I used to have a 55 day cycle, but as of recently it's about 33 days. There's a couple period trackers out there that can help keep track of it all, including predicting the next one based on when you report the first and last day of your period.

I no longer believe in false humility, I'm pretty great and I love myself. I have taken this thread off course though, so even though I'm saging, I'll offer these fun facts in return:

Pig orgasms can last up to fifteen minutes and the males have a corkscrew penis.

Cyclopia is when there is a faulty division of the symmetry of the face and so children are born with one eye in the middle of their face. They also have a weird little trunk thing above their eye. By the way, it's usually caused by The Sonic Hedgehog gene regulator.

During a dog's heat, while there is usually blood discharge, this is not what we know as a period. The hormonal changes in the dog's body are so strong and sudden, that it causes the capillaries in the vagina to burst, leading to the blood we see.

It's my biggest secret that I've been having sex for the past 12 years with only occasional condom use and no hormonal birth control. I know most women would judge me for this but I have a set of circumstances that works for me. My period is very regular so I know my cycle well, my boyfriend has a low libido so he doesn't masturbate which means sperm won't be present in his precum and he is done after one round (much to my dismay sometimes kek), and he always pulls out after I orgasm because we both don't want kids. I imagine it would be much different if he had a high drive. This method is definitely not for everyone and you have to really have faith your scrote is trustworthy.

Less pointing it out for you and more for anyone scrolling anon. Yes. People are uneducated and don’t know sperm can live in the urinary male tract for hours after original orgasm.

You're definitely right and I actually doubt she'd be able to donate an egg if she has that big of an issue with her periods.
Even if she could, why would she take such huge amount of hormones just to give eggs to random couples but refuse to use hormonal birth control to make sure she won't need an abortion? She probably is infertile and made that part up.

Are you the anon in the mom thread calling everyone stupid ? Kek sperm lives in the body for several days, and you can ovulate earlier or later than expected. When I got pregnant and I did the math I have had to ovulate literally a single day after my period ended and I've had sex on my period, how was I supposed to predict that? Is it because I'm too stupid to not look into my ovary crystal ball?

>It's either a larp or she's very retarded
I think it's a larp, they use the exact same typing style and insults, same exact paranoia about how everything "sells their information", and then just calls women "too stupid" for everything kek. They seethed about SIDS in the baby thread when women were praising the owlet because it "sold their information", then a preemie mother said she liked it because it helps ease anxiety about SIDS and keeps track of heart rate + oxygen in case of emergencies and doesn't give a fuck about "selling information" then she proceeded to call women who have had babies with SIDS too stupid to follow safe sleeping and when someone else pointed out that SIDS have happened out of people's control she acted dumb as if she doesn't understand how monitoring heart rate and oxygen and knowing how to react during an emergency can help save a babies life.

Guess they don't want to deal with lost mail/packages and we've been using a po box for years now. Wished the post office could've at least contact the po box user to let them know about unknown mail/packages and whether to hold on or return it but they don't have that option. Calling them is useless too because of an automated voice keeping you from contacting a real person for customer service.

PO Boxes aren’t assigned for life. They’re rented temporarily. (Sure there are situations where a person never moves or never stops paying for the PO Box and they keep it their whole life but that’s their choice.) When you are a clerk at a post office you only want to put the mail for the current people it in the box. There is always a bunch of junk mail or even good mail for previous names that rented that box that come through and it’s part of your job as a clerk to weed them out so your customer doesn’t have a box full of shit that isn’t theirs (usually you try to forward it or return to sender because as far as you know as a mail clerk that name doesn’t get mail at this box). That sort of thing. If a clerk knows that a customer wants to receive mail for a name they will put it in the box, but the PO Box owner (in this case your parents) has to say that they want it. Very easy fix. You don’t need a different box for every name. The clerk probably has a shitty little handwritten label with something like ”smith family only!” written on it on their end to help them remember what name is ok to put in that box. Your parent just need to say “add the name Stacey Sperg to our box please” or whatever the fuck your alias is lol and you’ll get your mail

John Carter had the potential to be a bigger film than it was but Disney nixxed the initial ad campaign and went for a shitty one that nobody fucking paid attention to so everybody slept on it. It's a huge shame and blunder since it's a wonderful story

TIL that chordates can possess spiracles too. I was looking at a resting nurse shark at an aquarium and asked if this species used ram ventilation like other sharks, and was told that all sharks possess ram ventilation, however, they are able to rest due to them possessing spiracles along the body that can directly take in oxygen while they rest or feed. Very interesting. Pic related; the spiracles are just visible as tiny light spots along the shark's body.
