Would I be interested? Also no.

It's still hard to gauge the stereotypical Lemmy user yet
Neurodivergent middle-aged Linux using anti-AI nostalgiagoggle-wearing very online privacy enthusiast with some degree of fixation on tech, be that privately (their hobby) or professionally (their job).
Excuse me, but I am not neurodivergent! At least not to my knowledge.....
Ok, we might have some news for you then…
Are they good news? 😁
Depends entirely on how you take it…
How can I phrase this nicely… I don’t think being on Lemmy, of all services, has a strong correlation with being neurotypical. When it comes to Fediverse users being neurodiverse, the odds are good… and the goods are odd 😆
So I...shouldn't have mentioned Lemmy when that girl asked me to add her on Insta?
Actually, in Denmark iirc you're only diagnosed neurodivergent if you experience your symptoms as issues in day-to-day life, and I don't think I have any problems in my day-to-day. I follow a lot of neurodivergent people on Mastodon and the fediverse in general, and while I can recognize some traits in myself, I don't experience any of the difficulties I can hear they have.
Does that make me neurotypical? Not sure.
3/8 phew
Neurodivergent, anti-AI, and, given the number of times I’ve inadvertently referenced internet culture and had to explain it to people, probably very online.
When does middle age start again?
Hey man, 31 ain't middle aged
i keep assuming they are like 22-26 given how massively immature/insecure most of their takes on the world are.
plus don't forget they are anti-capitalist, or something.
Depends on the instance:
I would characterize us as more critically pro-ai, or maybe even just not-against-ai
I meant more generally speaking rather than in the AI bro sense
Logistically questionable, but if true than who gives a shit?
According to Wikipedia it's true, and as a world record attempt a notary must have been present to count the men. There's another job I don't envy.
I don't get the point of notaries. Anyone could be a notary – you just have to pinky promise that you saw something happen under oath
Yeah I mean you pay money and take a little course to become a notary and you have to reup every year (or three years? I can't remember). The point is you take on legal liability. A notary cannot claim, "i didn't realize, I didn't know, I didn't double check." Most of the money you pay is in liability insurance in case you screw up. Because if a notary stamps their name to something false, they bear the legal liability which is enough for a notary to not take the risk of flippantly stamping things that are untrue.
You can also legally marry people.
There are also legal limits to how much you can charge (like 10 bucks and document or something. It's not much). Since each stamp doesn't earn much, but the liability could cost you a lot, it keeps notaries pretty honest. It's a decent system.
Mostly only nerds are notaries anyway, so the promising and putting your name to something does some of the heavy lifting by itself
Anyone could be a notary – you just have to pinky promise that you saw something happen under oath
The notary has to be approved by the State. Basically, if a notary attests to some fact, it is as if the entire government bore witness to it.
has to be approved by the State.
That's still just a glorified pinky promise... I guess what I'm trying to say is that being notary sounds like a super easy job
being notary sounds like a super easy job
It is, which is why basically nobody is only a notary. It's like being CPR certified. Great, but your day job is gonna be something else.
If you look up where notaries are in your state database, they're in places like law firms or banks or insurance companies, where their day jobs are something different (paralegal, bank teller, locksmith, etc.), and where they can sign a few documents for $20 and record it in their ledger.
You think that someone would break the sacred oath they took to become a notary? What is this world coming to...
1000 in a single day? That's going to be difficult to...

The idea that vaginas stretch out is kinda debunked.
Now assholes on the other hand...
I’m not disagreeing with the point of your statement, but I do want to clarify that vaginas absolutely stretch, just not permanently. You’ll have a very different experience if you work up to fisting over a couple of hours vs. launching right into it, because vaginas loosen with arousal.
The important thing is that they are elastic - they don't stay stretched. They're not like sweaters that stay stretched out forever after someone large wears them, more like rubber bands that stretch temporarily before returning to their typical size. I think that's why OP used the term "stretch out," as too many people seem to think once a vagina stretches, it's a permanent change. It's such a weird misconception.
Giving birth stretches a vagina more than any penis (or fist) ever could. Though birth can make some changes that last, it's more like "Now I need a larger size menstrual cup" than "Now penises just slide back out," as the popular belief would have people believe.
Yeah I was gonna mention the menstrual cup thing. The fact that they perceive the vagina as a purely receptive sleeve also suggests that they've rarely if ever had a woman orgasm on their dick. Hubs reports varying perceptibility between different episodes but that the muscular contraction is often robust.
I don't think people caring about body count has anything to do with physical things other than drastically increased odds of STIs and certain cancers.
I think mature adults realize that sex is never just sex, it forms attachments whether you want it or not. Screwing around forming and cutting off attachments constantly kind of fucks with your capacity to emotionally invest in an actual relationship.
Not everyone does form those attatchemnts. There are plenty of poeole out there who can just have sex and have a good time and move on.
Good point, it also helps filter out people who are innately mental.
If your brain one days goes like 'I should fuck a thousand guys' and you don't immediately shut it down, there's something terribly wrong with you, and that's before accounting for the STI you are absolutely carrying.
Now. Clearly some incels have an irrational low idea of what a 'normal' bodycount should be, but 1000 in one day ain't it either.
people who do professional sex work all have 'terrible wrong' with them?
I've had sex with 3 women and rejected sexual advances from 7, I don't think it's unreasonable to want a woman with similar statistics.
Someone might call me an incel for wanting a women with about three bodies but the truth is I've remained voluntarily celibate for the vast majority of my single life. I view sex as a big deal and something to be enjoyed only with someone you love. It's not crazy to want someone with a similar mindset, and if you have 10 bodies you either have too different of a mindset or you're way way outside my age range.
It's really ridiculous how extensively I need to spell this out to not get called an incel. People have reasons. We don't need to jump to conclusions with the least charitable interpretation all the time. Unfortunately it seems like that's literally the only thing a lot (if not most) people are capable of doing nowadays.
i think the way you're describing the process as "screwing around, forming and cutting off attachments" really shows that you think of it in a very black and white sort of way. one can have casual / fwb sex with their friends, and still have a friend relationship with that person. one can even have one-off sex with an acquaintance or stranger, and even if you never meet again, it doesn't really make it a "cut off" relationship; if you met again, it would be pleasant, circumstances just may not arrange it
just because it's a more emotionally involved process for you or some people you've encountered, doesn't make it a universal truth
Sure, you CAN do these things. That doesn't mean it's not diminishing your capacity to be emotionally invested in your relationships.
We can spend all day blowharding and traversing all the layers of subconscious processes abstracted into social constructs, how we are able to rationalize anything if we want to, and so on. But I think you can only get so far with that, when all I'm trying to describe is something pretty much everyone already understands intuitively.
"You can't turn a hoe into a housewife"
Works with gender/role flipped too, obviously.
i genuinely do not "intuitively understand" this idea. there's nothing contradictory about being a hoe and a housewife
can you like, explain this? i really don't understand how having multiple sexual relationships, specifically, diminishes one's ability to have emotionally fulfilling relationships. if anything, i might be inclined to think they would have more emotionally fulfilling relationships 💀
I'm gonna be dead honest with you. The reason you think that high bodycount means that you're somehow fundamentally different as a person e.g. incapable of being a "housewife" is because you do not have a high bodycount yourself and its incomprehensible for you, when in reality it's really just not that big a deal.
No one with a high bodycount thinks of themselves as having a high bodycount. At one time all those people had a low bodycount and they were the same people then as they were after they had a high bodycount.
At most they're "sexually experienced", in gamer terms they're the people with 500 games in their steam library and to them the average person is kinda like the person who only plays F2P mobile gachas, so yeah they'll have higher standards but they also probably know what's good and what works.
None of this is inherently good or bad, it just is.
Nah. There is a mountain of science related to how sex influences practically every part of your nervous system, affecting brain function and in turn, emotional processing.
But I agree with you, it's not good or bad, cause it's not my life and people are free to do what they want. I just think people ought to be aware that emotional connection is not an infinite resource before they start giving it away willy nilly.
Yeah, it's more about the fact that it's really reckless behavior for tons of reasons for me. I don't need someone like that in my life. Literally every really promiscuous person I know is living a train wreck of a life. Most of them are pretty shitty people otherwise too. Some of them have grown out of it, but with that they became more stable in their relationships and aren't sleeping around like they used to. I'm not saying it's impossible to sleep around and not have tons of issues but I haven't witnessed it so to me it's a red flag.
If they don't stretch out, then why do some doctors offer complimentary tightening surgery on postpartum mothers?
They don't stretch out from having a dick put in them. But giving birth is literally a physically traumatic event. Ligiments get slack so bones can shift around, and it is not uncommon for the flesh around the vagina to experience significant tearing. The whole thing is quite horrifying. Post pregnancy medical procedures may be necessary not just to have a tight pussy, but to be able to not constantly be peeing yourself.
Ouch. That is so fucked up. I am older and have been structurally tight (skin too tight at opening) sex hurts when it goes on too long. The "husband stitch" is abusive. And doctors do it because they do episiotomy, which is also awful because that cut doesn't heal as well as a repaired natural tear and you might not tear at all.
Complimentary tightening surgery my ass. That doesn't help mothers at all.
Rehab with kegels does help and obviously if you tear, a repair. The midwife recommended working up to fisting before having a baby and man I wish I had taken that advice.
But being tight right at the opening of the vagina just hurts, there is no advantage to it.
Weirdly, it's actually the same reason that banks used to refuse to let single women have credit cards
The same reason they try to keep women from getting tubal ligation or having the uterus removed: sexism.
litigation
🤣
What's sexist about perpetuating the idea that vaginas do or don't stretch out? Or what's sexist about doctors offering to tighten up stretched vaginas? Please explain.
It's called "the husband stitch" becase because it was done for the husbands pleasure, not for the wife's medical needs, often without the wife's consent. It also might cause sex to be more painful for the woman, even as it was more pleasurable for the man; which is too bad for the woman, because her husband had a legal right to rape her in the United States until the 1970s.
I don't know, but I read that vinegar not only clears any bad smells but also tightens it up.
I don't think you know what you're talking about or your fellow downvoters. I read that in a reputable publication over well about three decades back and I take their word over some naysayer online with no backup information or sources.
Not only that but I've had women tell me it's true that vinegar cleans smells and tightens the area. You are not a reputable source.
Youre not right about this. Im sorry. Some women do douche, but most doctors will advise against using anything like this. Mild soap externally is all that is recomended by most Obgyns.
This info you have is old wives tales, not modern science.
When it comes to women's health advice, I think modern naysayers are more reputable than any source was in the 1900s
I read this in the late 90s. And I'm still siding with them over some bandwagon jumper on her off the fucking internets. You're not a reliable source. Someone else said something that sounded authoritative so perhaps nevertheless.
Also I don't give a shit. I was just sharing what I read from an authoritative source, you can piss all the way off.
This ..line of thinking is why my step father wouldnt let me or my sister shower while on the rag in our teens. He had some old ass info, ignored doctors, and me and my sister suffered at the hands of his misinformation. He wouldnt even buy us tampons or pads and we used paper towels. I have no idea why he said we couldnt shower while having a period. The man was a fool and now lives in isolation. anyway..
ita okay to be wrong, but its not okay to spread that info. it can harm women.
I shared something I read from a reputable Source at the time that was confirmed by other people that I had talked to, you say it's wrong whatever it's wrong.
There's a nice way to correct somebody if you think they're wrong.
tell me the source!?
Willful ignorance isnt cute
I already went through this with somebody that was not insulting me personally. I don't care what you think.
People just love to be offended by something a random stranger did 10'000 km away.
you're an incentive if you care about bodycount
Maybe, but I do care about orders of magnitude in bodycount. Being in the low single digits myself I definitely prefer partners that do not have a bodycount three orders of magnitude higher.
It's the record attempt that's a red flag for me. Why would anyone do that to themselves?
Naw im down with that. It would have to be actively harmful to others for me to not respect an attempt for the world's somethingest something.
Probably wouldn't want to date her, but I respect the effort.
I mean to me it's no different than someone attempting a record number of kisses, handshakes, high-5s, haircuts, judo throws... or some other physical interaction. It just doesn't really matter and has no big significance.
Yeah, 1000 dudes.
I don't care if shes fucked a lot of dudes. If she's clean, or only has something I'm prep/vax'd against I'd still be down to get with her she's hot as hell.
I only take issue with it being presumably a dumb publicity stunt thing. Like, if she fucked that many guys over the course of a few years it'd just mean she had a really high libido and a desire for variety. But that many in one go? That just sounds unpleasant.
