Then it sounds like you just need to figure out which one of your current pool of potential partners that you want to have address your wants/needs and figure out which of his wants/needs that you are going to need to address.

Or you can search for different pools of potential partners and see if that better meets your criteria.

But if you don’t love yourself, it is very unlikely that any potential partner can figure out how to properly love you.

    Well for 1) that would be a serious medical malpractice lawsuit

    and 2) assuming that you are attracted to men, over 3/4 of straight men are willing to perform oral sex on women and over 1/6 of them are really into it.

    So if that were your actual goal, it would take less than 3 minutes on any dating app to arrange that.

    But sex is not going to fix any underlying psychological issues and the varieties of sex that would be healthy would focus more on mutual goals and shared caring for each other.

    Which again is readily available to all genders if one is willing to actually pursue it.

    Well there could be universal ethics but the set would be tiny. You can only expand the ethical standard by expanding the shared assumptions.

    For example, if your assumptions are DNA based life that survives in an oxygen rich environment with low carbon dioxide that are not powered by sunlight and have to consume other life forms to survive.

    Depends on the file system. If you are using FAT-8; it is 256:1 if you are on ZFS it is as low as 1:4.

    It also depends on composition of the data stored. If it is Linux ISOs; it is 4GB:64KB. If it is old C source code; it is 512B:4KB on ext4

    Because back in the 1980s RAM chips were individually sold and the number of address pins exactly matched the 2^(# of pins) amount of memory addresses contained in the chip (for cost savings purposes) and only with the later column strobe addressing DRAM did that change but at that point they couldn’t deviate from the 1024 standard without getting sued (a couple did and went out of business).

    And since the RAM chips themselves are stuck using 1024 and the RAM sticks are made of matching RAM chips (for cost and performance reasons); it will remain that way until people start buying systems on a chip with embedded RAM.

    The OS uses 1024 and the drive manufacturers are using 1000.

    Which is why a 1TB drive shows 931GiB of capacity. (1024 GiB =1 TiB, 1024MiB =1 GiB, 1024KiB =1MiB, 1024 Bytes =1KiB) but the drive manufacturers using SI prefixes doing 1000 Bytes =1 KB, 1000 KB = 1MB, 1000MB = 1GB, 1000GB = 1TB.

    Thus the discrepancy.

    If someone tells you to live up to a standard that they themselves do not live up to; they are an asshole and their opinion should be disregarded.

    If someone tells you a standard of which they do actively live up to; only then are they qualified to discuss the benefits and costs involved. Then make up your own damn mind if you think it is reasonable for you.

    So by default, any man who didn’t transition from being a woman, gets zero say in what I or you as a woman should do with our bodies or our lives.

    (To be fair, it goes both ways)
