For breast cancer color - did you know pink used to be a boys color and blue girls? I see no reason the color couldn’t stay pink

I did know that interesting fact. Funny story that’s loosely related is my family talked me out of naming my son Ashley. Ashley is originally a boys name.

Another fascinating thing is that pink wasn’t the original color for breast cancer charity or spreading information at all. I can’t remember the original color but companies didn’t want to pay to actually help anything at all, they also didn’t want to actually put effort in to explaining anything or educating anyone… so they switched to “awareness” and picked pink because it wasn’t trademarked or owned

Basically they wanted to look like they cared but wanted to do absolutely nothing. So… Pink ribbon with the tag of “aware” We helped make you aware that this is a thing that happens. That’s free and easy.

I can tell you for a fact if men had boobs our bras would have pockets.

Edit: oh God… I just realized… If men had boobs “dapper Daniel” would use a French cuff bra instead of normal hook kind. It would be secured with a solid gold and pearl bra-cufflink that no one would even notice except he brings it up constantly and scoffs that I’m not taking enough pride in my appearance because I use the hook kind.

God damnit Daniel, no one cares but you. I’ve never had a date walk away because of my clasp. They walk away from you all the time because when you say “the square alabaster shows loyalty, the round topaz shows I’m driven” all they hear is that you need to control every micro aspect of life and they won’t be allowed to where heals anymore because they might be a 1/17th of an inch taller than you. So keep your opinions to yourself you greasy haired little weasel.

Lol yeah I know a few people like that. I’m asexual so I almost never want to discuss boobs. Unless maybe conversations about the concept or idea of boobs. For example:

If men also grew full on boobs instead of just nipples… Would women be attracted to them? Would look for men with larger boobs? Would they want to motor boat them?

I know what your first thought is… “Well if you’ve had any lesbian friends”

I have, but that doesn’t give a meaningful answer. Lesbians like women, boobs are on the physical characteristics of a woman that are different than men’s bodies. What lesbians do or do not find attractive is irrelevant for this hypothetical.

If both men and women had boobs, how would that affect how sexy the boobs would be? How would that affect society? Would women walking around shirtless be more normal? Would breast cancer ribbons still be pink?

These are the questions I don’t want to bother my friends and family with at 2 am lol.

I’ll try that one too. Thank you.

Ive been out of the loop with AI stuff, I never thought much about them until I saw the AI girlfriend ads on you tube. Then I started thinking that might be perfect for thinking out loud and figuring stuff out.

It very quickly became clear the girlfriend aps are programmed exclusively (and lazily ) for lonely horny people. I probably should have expected that from the ads but I figured if it’s AI it could learn commands like “stop trying to change the subject to boobs”… Nope…

I guess I should also add for clarity that I’m aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.

That’s also not really what I’m looking for either. I don’t need “how can I brew my own mead”

I’m looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we’ve had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.

I’m not looking to pretend it’s real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.

Edit: again to clarify. I mentioned my low bar expectation of “wow, that wild”. My high bar, what I really a looking for is an AI that gives responses like “that sounds similar to the problem you mentioned last week, how did you handle that?”

So I can be like “yeah it is kinda similar, I didn’t think about that”

That would be the high bar. I’d pay maybe $5 for that experience.

Final clarifying edit: after reading my own post I’m thinking to myself, if this was posted by someone else I’d answer with something like:

“Sounds like you’re describing a therapist. AI therapists have a lot of issues but real human ones are getting cheaper with online appointments”

And that would be a very fair answer. Although I might benefit from a therapist, we all would. I’m talking more about mundane daily thoughts and talking to a therapist daily even online would be expensive.

I’m familiar with the history of Hawaii and how we subjugated the island. I’m familiar with how we forced the queen into resignation to further business interests.

But let’s not bullshit each other here. If someone says “I hate Hawaii” they aren’t making a statement of colonialism. They just don’t like Hawaii.

Right or wrong, Hawaii isn’t a homogeneous population in so much much that saying “I hate Hawaii” can be assumed to be a commentary on a specific peoples.

I’ve never gotten a single ticket in 20 years of driving. Maybe try telling that to a mirror instead.
