>>240127 I am not doing anything. Are you enjoying that article?
Maria
>>240130 it's interesting. Except I read half of it last night before falling asleep and now that I've woken up and started reading it again I forgot what was happening in it. It's for my public policy class in school.
20 minutes is enough time to get out of a blast radius unless you're in the center. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if there was incredible traffic so it'll end up being the opposite. A well timed train however would. >Trains running through a blast radius I guess I'll just call my ex on Discord and talk until I die.
Maria
>>240149 do you live in an area without a lot of traffic? Oh okay you probably wouldn't have enough time then. Maybe you could run very fast and hope it's just a small nuke.
Though if funland was nuked, I'd oh wait I live next to an army base... but whoäd drop 2 nukes here they'd just nuke the capital and I coudl enjoy the show
>>240157 Yeah if ou lvie in the blast radius you are dead, but outside of that most likely the radiation or the afterffects are what kill you so bracing for the impact is the wise choise.
Anno
Well if you have a basement and there's no chance of your house being outside the blast radius, I'd probably get in the basement. Not that basements are smart to get in, really, but if I'm certainly dead above ground I'd rather take my odds with the basement.
If this place was nuked, I'd go to the bomb shelter it is falloutproof and every place has one I wonder where it even is
bang and the life
we're about to get very drunk over here
Anno
id go to the fallout shelter keeps me safe from shit video games
Maria
I might stand a chance if the nuke's small enough and I can run to the hills. But if it's super big then there'll be nowhere for me to go because I'll be blocked off by the ocean.
>>240162 Does every Finnish place actually have a bomb shelter?
>>240169 That's what everyone else will do and I only have twenty minutes
bang and the life
>>240161 you wouldn't be offended if you had big bobbers
>>240158 wow rude thanks >>240161 The question was whether or not it would cause discomfort to make heart hands and put them against your boob to the point where the boob (or at least that part of the breast) is shaped like a heart. There's this heartboob thing that I've been seeing on twitter and kirara thinks it looks uncomfortable and I just didn't see how that would hurt. It's not like you're trying to leave a whole imprint
bang and the life
>>240162 i'm drinking polish vodka that i bought INSTEAD OF FINNISH VODKA FOR THE SAME PRICE HAHAHAHAH
>>240168 your loss >>240165 every housing complex has to maintain one shelter well atleast used to I am not 100% sure about modern buildings but there is a shelter somewhere in this building, while not bomb proof, it is fallout proof
Anno
>>240165 yeah but im sure most of those "everyone else" eople would have a successful commute out of the radius
>>240176 Wow, look at this pretentious loser, who only takes his walls with all natural ingredients. Some of us don't have the budget to afford thoes kinds of luxuries!
>>240167 I mean, pressing your hand against your boob a little won't hurt but if you put pressure on it of course it will hurt. Isn't that like common sense?
You can't call it common sense when you don't have the boobs to attempt the science. Sure I can ASSUME that breasts may or may not feel discomfort. But what would I know about holding breasts
bang and the life
does he not?
Anno
of course i should have known concert pianists always sit sideways with the big opening of the piano facing the audience so that the sound travels towards the audience it was right there all along
i feel like older women should just get massectomies so they dont have to deal with the hassle of their (now pointless) breasts
Anno
pls reply
Maria
>>240187 I dunno I feel like that's just missing part of you then Like they've been with you thick and thin you can't just abandon them
Anno
>>240189 well you wouldnt be ablr to know for sure until after you get them removed so you might as well go ahead and chop them off now and if you end up missing them just put them back on
Maria
>>240190 yeah but if you don't know for sure then you shouldn't do it because you might miss them You can't just stick em back on like a pair of trousers
I am 2 for 2. Now I just need Dash. >>240195 I said that Kannagi would call me a pervert, you'd deflect, and Dash would laugh at me. I won't show it to you. It's okay. but "it depends" is the common answer.
Which side did you put me on? My answer was pretty much "it depends". I haven't seen the meme though. Don't take this as an invitation to show me, though.
>>240196 My prediction was just that. An answer that would be neither "yes" nor "no". My stance is simply that I don't see it being uncomfortable. But I can't know.
That wasn't the aim! I just commented on the latest twitter art meme and Kirara said it looked uncomfortable and I couldn't see how. Then he told me that I should probably ask the girls of moe At which point I doubted I'd get any straight answers because >Rika would deflect >Kannagi would call me blewd >Dash would laugh
Anyhow, I was satisfied after Kannagi told me that it probably depends on size or sensitivity of said breast on said person. I didn't think I needed much more than that. >>240198 I've tried it. It doesn't hurt me. But my chest is generally flat.
Anno
>>240204 Could you have Googled it? >>240204 Yes. I would be surprised if you were able to do it.
>>240205 I wouldn't know what to Google. Just "how much pain does molding a breast into a heart cause" which isn't really giving me a good visual of what I'm really trying to ask. It's the sort of thing where if I showed an image, it would make sense. But I'd rather not.
Anno
>>240206 I looked at pictures of what you are talking about. I think it would cause me discomfort.
http://www.news.com.au/technology/online/social/bizarre-heartshaped-boob-challenge-sees-women-moulding-their-breasts-into-hearts/news-story/0087a31765f51653b9125e7edab543fd I found this. I think it looks uncomfortable
I mean, in the strictest sense of feeling something, yes. But it's hardly something I can call discomfort. If anything, the discomfort is in my shoulders because having to raise my arms and make a heart requires me to shrug and hold that position
oh no it was breaking out i have ruined the lyrics
Anno
>>240230 They've all been places I haven't been before! Except for my imouto but she doesn't want to go anywhere. She has yet to awaken her adventuresome spirit.
Anno
>>240231 I think many men like to have their nipples played with.
>>240252 IS THE PAIN COMING FROM YOUR NIPPLE OR AROUND THE BREAST OR IS IT JUST THE POSE WHERE YOUR SHOULDERS HAVE TO BE UP AND AWKWARD AND YOUR ELBOWS POINTED OUT AREN'T YOU AN IDOL? IS THIS NOT A CLASSIC IDOL POSE?
I mean, it's got to the the nipple righT? Male nipples still have some of the internal structure that a normal nipple has.
Anno
>>240254 It's more I can't do it "right". There isn't the matter there to make the shape with enough force. I hit bone before any pressure really gets applied.
And just pressing down is the same there as anywhere else on the breast.
Anno
>>240255 He said the discomfort comes from the nipple.
>>240254 If there is a way to do it that doesn't cause pain, then that would be the correct way. As opposed to the way that causes discomfort. So either I'm special or you're all problematic.
Anno
>>240260 My boyfriend is suggesting that you test that with clamps.
Anno
Why this
Koi
Pinching and twisting the nipple causes mild discomfort Putting my hands against it while in a special pose does not even register as an inconvenience. I think I'm done with nipple science tonight.
>>240264 Rika told you to compress your nipple. That means pinching it.
Koi
>>240265 Yeah. >>240266 But I'm not pinching it in this pose which was the point of the experiment. Pushing it inward and pinching it are two different experiences
Well, doing that heart thing is definitely pinching it. It pinches the nipah directly from what I saw in that news article!
Koi
That is definitely not pinching the nipple >>240271 If you're going to call pressing the nipple down "pinching", then I'm going to have to revise my previous statement. Pinching the nipple does not cause me discomfort.
Anno
Yes. Those images showed the nipple and areola being compressed.
When I said "pinch", I meant squeeze between my fingers. In that pose, it's not being done. You're just pressing it down closer towards your body. And that's not causing me any problems.
>>240275 The harder I press down the more discomfort I'm getting in my arms. Not my chest. It's an awkward position >>240277 This is like... the greatest reach for the word pinch that I have ever experienced. I guess I just don't have enough boob fat for this. There's no discomfort there.
FormerRei@mobile
>>240278 I can't believe you're still talking about this.
bang and the life
>>240277 don't worry you're the last person i'd blame when it comes to breasts
Anno
>>240278 Maybe you need to play with your nipples more often.
>>240278 Also I forgot to mention this, but breast tissue and fat are different types of tissue so you won't really be able to test it unless you have gynomastica or whatever its called. Err, test it on yourself
This is why I decided to ask other people. Because I already disqualified myself from the idea of feeling discomfort. It is too foreign to me. >>240287 I know But I don't want to get into another battle of L A N G U A G E right now. Today I have confirmed that my nipples are battle tested. Hardened soldiers of war who know little pain.
No, it's too late. I'm done shaping things. I'm going to have fun not shaping things. Once again, I am reminded that my body is strange. >>240295 You're not -
Anno
dont forget to stay hydrated and get 8 hours of sleep tonight
So it seems that despite your super long discussion on this No one brought up the fact that whether or not it would hurt depends on the size and sensitivity of the breasts
Anno
>>240300 He wanted to make us play with ours but will not do the same.
bang and the life
>>240285 what!? i was just saying you're not a lewdie
>>240307 The joke is that it was the answer I received hours ago and what brought me to not wanting to ask the question a second time. The current discussion was had because of Kirara's suggestiong, Yuu's curiosity, and ToN's meddling.
>>240326 There's enough bad anatomy there that that's probably what the artist intended it to depict.
Anno
One of the girls has a blindfold on. Maybe she is lost and accidentally fell down.

>>240335 That is brilliant. You would make an excellent writer of super interesting manga.
Anno
>>240334 I don't think so at all. That sort of stylized anatomy is particular of a certain fascination but it doesn't strike me that any sort of lewd activities are underway.
>>240344 I do not think anything I write would be interesting.
FormerRei@mobile
Does anyone want to play /cards/? I'm really bored right now
Anno
>>240343 It was just a playful jest! Don't worry about taking it to heart. But a certain series is well-known for using entertaining matters of happenstance and clumsiness for comedic value. Your scenario was sort of a reminder of it.
>>240358 It's been airing this season and last. Fresh in the memory. There's an off-chance it might even be intentional too. The author seems versed in some more obscure western culture stuff. You might find it interesting but it might also feel kind of boring.
>>240491 There's a certain breed of dog that has ears that resemble the flaps of hair she has. Within the culture of Japanes anime, manga, and games, flaps of hair like that have a certain memetic nature of being attributed with dog-like characters. So it's not too unsurprising that it might seem a bit different for you.
>>240639 It's just the way it is. Though height doesn't bother me much. It's awkward when the girl can't wear heels because the guy is short though, isn't it?
>>240642 Oh well women would never lie to you so I guess I'm wrong.
Maria
is it embarrassing to date a guy who's way shorter than you
bang and the life
>>240643 NO I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I MEAN AT SOME POINT THE GUY IS TOO TALL AND HAS TO BEND OVER REALLY LOW TO KISS HER CAPSLOCK SORRY
>>240657 you can have five things out at a time, creature or not spells dont stick around so they dont count but creatures and "permanents" by mtg terms i think do

i knew a guy who was 6'5" and never wore shoes
what a terrible fucking shitter he was
FormerRei@mobile
>>240659 Hrrrm That's actually kind of interesting
>never wore shoes like he had to wear shoes sometimes didn't he?
>>240648 It's just not the way things should be! Would you date a girl more manly than you?
Anno
>>240664 i mean im sure his work made him wear shoes but he lit showed up to class and went shopping barefoot
FormerRei@mobile
>>240664 I got kicked out of aotdog place for not wearing shoes My fucking dumbass friend got soda all over my shoes so I had to take them off
ToN
please wear shors shoes
Maria
>>240664 >>240658 it goes against the natural order of things >would you date a girl more manly than you define manly I'd date a girl taller than me if I really liked her But I'm already 6'1 so she'd have to be very tall
my friend has a new boyfriend that i havent met yet but ive seen pictures of him and i have spent literal years studying height so im pretty sure hes tall but shes having the audacity to refute my claim and say that we're about the same height im gonna meet him soon and im planning on standing next to him
anyways the main thing is that we have a bet on if hes the same height as me or not, and im very excited to put my height identification skills to good use to shit on my female friend and help her realize that ive been right about everything ive ever said about male aesthetics
i would date a short guy probably i don't see an issue
Anno
you see where im coming from though, right? im not a cripplingly short loser, but my competition are the most attractive guys in the world 55 year old hippies, for example
Anno
>>240753 I'm not intimidating though! And I am as perfectly normal as it gets!
FormerRei@mobile
>>240757 You are borderline delusional Height isn't always the deciding factor when it comes to why girls choose to date someone
Anno
>>240754 I do not think the surgery is that expensive. I am sure you can do it. >>240758 Are you a normie?
Maria
>>240754 yeah but then you win out over the low quality tall guys
Anno
>>240760 No way, I'm not anything like that. I'm just perfectly normal. As far as anything goes, I'm as normal as it gets. Normal height, normal weight, normal habits, normal living style; normal everything.
>>240770 I'm sure that's not true. You're much more likely to be able to improve your personality than you are to become tall.
FormerRei@mobile
>>240779 In this context the fag in normalfag means person It's used as a suffix to form words that describe classes of people There are a lot of terms in that form that are used in "nearby" parts of the internet.
Anno
>>240780 OH ALRIGHT LET ME JUST BE MORE CHARISMATIC RQ
oh you have a reasonable existence and try to be a good person and you're interested in stuff i'm not interested in REEEEE
Maria
>>240821 that just makes me want to be a normie that sounds great
Anno
I thought a normie was someone that does not watch a lot of anime.
Anno
>>240828 There isn't any real "what one is" for it. The word is perpetuated in Internet culture as an insult or derrogatory term. I really don't like the word because of that really. It serves no purpose in dialogue but as something to negatively categorize people who do things you don't like or want to do.
FormerRei@mobile
>>240828 Most "normie" don't watch a lot of anime. But that doesn't mean that's the defining characteristic of a "normie".

Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i would hope one would only use the term ironically but you can never be sure
>>240838 I dunno, I'm pretty sure it does. The entire concept of using "normal" as the base is to "Other" a majority rather than a minority. What you end up with in some cases are people seeing "the most" as lesser, and your subsection as superior.
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
>>240842 but equating "normal" with "human" is a stretch human is more like... personhood. rights. empathy
FormerRei@mobile
>>240842 That's because nerds were ostracized for a very long time by many "normal" people Well, it's descended from that in the sort of cultural memory of some parts of the internet
Maria
do normal people even exist past surface level details
>>240843 Yes. But "Human" is also used to describe flaws and failures. "She's only human" "To err is human" etc When held to the negative connotation, you can exemplify "humanity" as a negative trait. And from there, you can take "normal", as something negative. Something that has to be overcome by "not being normal".
>>240852 This is the kind of thing that gets Yuu mad about words. It's not as completely flipped as the usage of literal, but the usage of "human" referring to similar qualities can either be positive or negative. It's just not used that way as much because, of course, humans would much rather see "humanness" in a positive light.
Which is normal.

>>240891 Shouldn't it be "Throbbing"? ""Throbbin" Fucking autocorrect
Anno
>>240893 I might not quite have it right but there's a statistic tendency towards people of that classification to carry blood-borne diseases. So them donating blood can be a little more dangerous than just taking blood from those that don't have that classification. There might currently be methods of purging the diseases from the blood, but it costs money to install those devices. So for blood donation services, it's less effort and cheaper to just refuse blood from people of that classification.

>>241063 Oh okay, so it ain't specialised. Did you ever learn any really interesting stuff? I find prosthetics to be interesting. I can't wait until we hit the point where they're better than the real thing.

>>241062 usually just electronics engineers i knew an electronics engineer who worked on MRI machines for general electric that's up to the company that's making the medical equipment which would depend on what the equipment is that might be mechanical, electronics, who knows

>>241062 i learned a lot of interesting stuff about epilepsy in sheep brains there's no interesting factoids i can say that are interesting or anything like that but the greater understanding of the uninteresting thigns // things i learned formed trend recognition and analysis that i found interesting
Maria
>>241064 Is that how you got into data stuff? Like recognising patterns. Did you ever keep any photos from when you made dolls clothes?
月
i wouldn't say that's how i got into it i think i have an affinity to that stuff just generally. something in my development pattern probably just formed a habit of trying to process the world in that way that's probably why i was always interested in math and biophysics and stuff and what i do now is just a different manifestation of that it's probably the only reason i can handle transcription too is because i studied claude shannon's mathematical models of language a lot so i'm able to soak things in from that perspective while i work otherwise it'd be dull
yeah i have photos of doll stuff that i did but it's on an old drive full of old things that i'm not particularly eager to go digging through i'll feel up to it sometime but just not now
Maria
>>241066 Shame, dolls are nice. Except maybe the faces. The idea of dressing one up is fun but doll eyes look dead to me. So when you're doing transcription work, is it like recognising and predicting certain patterns a conversation will tend to follow? If you've heard hundereds of conversations and use a little cause and effect, could you autopilot a little? Like predicting its structure.

no, i'm more interested in thinking about how the language objects function like, the entropy of the conversation if you were to model it as a two-participant dynamic system with a two-way channel proper language, very formal, is easy enough to interpret but what's happening when people are doing false starts or using lots of filler -- it's to maintain the channel capacity but why what pressures are acting that makes it want to close lots of really roundabout shit that makes me sound crazy if i don't preface it with a link to some info theory and shannon's linguistic entropy
>>241069 there's a video on youtube of someone using armor march and guidance with a dancer and pivot on hector to move 12 tiles in one phase
Maria
>>241068 what's a false start. Is it like the ums and uhs? >>241074 Oh I getcha. It's like, actually never mind :^) >>241073 nothing I'm in bed
Kirara☆
>>241071 yeah man i knew it'd happen im not surprised >>241070 nothin what's up with you
月
>>241072 A false start is like, say if you were going to.... If you wanted to say something, but then you... Well, you get the idea
月
>>241072 yeah, but in spoken conversation they're used functionally we use language clunkily it makes me think about how the dynamics of the system are changing when those things occur, or language in general as there's obfuscation between the sender and receiver there's probably a strong link between my interest in this and signals communications from physics but iunno it's whatever man
