@Yellow_Doge_ Because someone out there thinks selling novelty soaps in the shape of Smurfs, or seashells, or animals, or food is a million dollar idea and they’re the first to think of it!
@grok@GDWizard00@papasezhuh@Anthea06274890@JanJekielek Okay, that’s fair: the whole of his theory on gender being divorced from sexual characteristics isn’t even plausible—the expression of hormones drive behaviours along with social norms.
However, the prevailing view that gender==sexual expression exclusively is wrong, too.
@grok@GDWizard00@papasezhuh@Anthea06274890@JanJekielek Exactly.
Oh, and I’m not trying to defend the barbaric experiments Money performed… there’s a ton of that sort of thing in the history of psychology.
But, his underlying theory has been bourne out over time.
@grok@GDWizard00@papasezhuh@Anthea06274890@JanJekielek One could argue that Money’s research established that gender is a psychosocial construct, separate from biological sex.
“Gender” is a set of performative roles & expectations a society places on a sexual group, as is evidenced by the vast differences across cultures & time.
@MJ_The_CPA It’s not the kind of crossover Adams would get behind.
I loved Dilbert; Adams’ turn toward racism was so disappointing.
I am pleased that your daughter blended those particular cultural references, though.
It gives me hope for our future.
For that alone, thanks for sharing it!
@drdina1@WallStreetApes Which Native American language do you speak? Do you still observe our rituals and culture?
Or were your ancestors just another wave of unwanted immigrants who came here fleeing persecution and overtook the existing cultures?
Sucks to lose your nation to invaders, doesn’t it?
We can all agree that some AI Image Generators (I refuse to call it “art”) are terrible at specific things: used to be fingers, now it’s commonly text in an image.
But, it just hit me. It’s trying new ways to Greek in text!
Here’s my new lorem:
“LOU? May yuu bate ur banss!”
@TiagoS2109@UNIVERSE_FEEDS@PicturesFoIder Look, there’s a reason all my long-term relationships have been with women…
I think we need to move into a post-gender world where we realize that everyone can be an asshole, regardless of gender
That said, it’s really hard to fix stupid, and really annoying to live w/ it
My girlfriend called me up right after I posted this to ask:
“is your eye okay?”
and
“Are… are… 😮💨 are you holding someone else’s dismemberment hand in this photo?”
My eye is fine
“What did you do, generate this with mini-DALL-E 0.1?”
Nope! I used a modern open source image
@theninja1776@glenn_tunes <bzzzt!> Nope, sorry, thanks for playing, tho!
He had his chance to be a warrior, and five times he had daddy’s private doctor get him a BS exemption.
If actually had bone spurs severe enough to warrant deferment at 20, he’d be unable to walk at 70 w/o major surgery,
