Delphia , to asklemmy in Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

If you want to avoid squishing your junk, I recommend buying some elasticated boxers that are just a LITTLE bit tighter than you would buy for every day wear. Keep your business pulled in close and tight.

As for avoiding workouts… theres a lot to unpack there. The short version is “You have the DNA you have” no amount of a “Bikini body” workout is going to give you tits or a BBL booty and any workout that mentions “Targeted fat loss” is bullshit. Situps do not burn belly fat. Workouts for bodybuilding and workouts for functional strength are different. Workouts for cardio and workouts for conditioning are different.

But what might build a bunch of muscle and functional strength for a 60kg woman might only qualify as a warmup for me, programs written for women will likely be different because (THIS IS NOT SEXISM) men on average carry more muscle as a percentage and less fat. Workouts programmed for women tend to have more cardio and lower weight. Not to say that you couldnt do that workout and hit it with intensity and get results, but its likely to be suboptimal.

If you’re interested in learning more about exercise science Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization on YT has some fantastic and easy to digest videos (not exactly geared for beginners but theres some very quality insights if you find the right videos.) As well as James Smith, Dr Pak, Jeff Nippard and their associated friends.

gpstarman OP ,

Thank you for the valuable insight.

(THIS IS NOT SEXISM)

It’s sad that you got to mention this specifically. I almost got called sexist in this same comment section for asking this question. 😮‍💨

InputZero , (edited )

I think the term you’re looking for is called Sexual Dimorphism, and I have only ever heard edge-lord-feminists call it sexism. Most feminists that I have met acknowledge it.

Edit: to be clear while the conversation of gender equity is in part concerned about sexual dimorphism, the human species as a whole is sexually polymorphic. However the discussion of Turner’s syndrome, Klinefelter’s syndrome, ect is tangentially related.

Professional Kingdom of Loathing player, I guess! I may spend more time on other things, but other than biological necessities, KoL is the only thing I do every day no matter where I am 😁

verity_kindle ,

I gave up in my second month of grinding for rare vertebrae for the Bone Dragon. Glad to know more patient people have fun with KoL. GLHF

Viking_Hippie ,

Using KolMafia for configurable automation and tons of other helpful scripts and the wiki to look stuff up helps tremendously! If I had to go without either, I’d probably burn out pretty fast too lol

verity_kindle ,

I had the wiki then, did not know about the mods. This was, maybe, 2007 lol

EnsignRedshirt , to memes in I hate it when people just say that a meme is "a repost" and refuse to elaborate

Memes are reposts! That’s their defining characteristic! They become memes by being reposted! If they didn’t get reposted, they would not be memes!

Memes are in fact iterative so the more reposts we have, the more weird new memes we get. ‘S wild.

Hey, good news, Elon. Most of us have gone from calling it “twitter” to calling it “that facist shithole that used to be twitter”.

Good job wasting 43 BILLION dollars only to see it’s traffic literally cut in half, you micro-penised shitstain on society. You will not be remembered as the genius your group of ass kissers tell you you are. You’ll be remembered as being dumber than a one brain celled orange tabby.

That’s giving him too much credit, orange cats are just dumb not evil. He sucks the life of of people, encourages the spread of disease and death. He’s a mosquito. Just an annoying, insignificant bug that will only be remembered for the discomfort he caused.

I thought we always called it “radical shithole”. Not much changed. It’s just SJWs making indie gamedevs suicide were replaced with Christians making everyone else suicide.

HawlSera ,

God I hate the pedo hunts, like yeah even if they find real freaks… The fact that so many who weren’t guilty had their lives ruined and in some cases ended over bullshit accusations is offensive, especially since evidence collected in an illicit manner is not admissible in court. Prosecutors call it “Fruit from the Forbidden Tree”

Lucidlethargy ,

Nag, I just call it shitter when I’m bored of “Twitter”.

Lightor ,

Well he did take a fairly neutral platform used to spread ideas and form movements and destroy it. So I’m sure the right and the rich are happy about that.

They are. This is the equivalent of a 19th century steel tycoon buying up newspapers all across the country. It’s an investment.

Asking out of genuine curiosity how would one go about moderating or restricting deadnaming on Twitter from an applicable technical perspective?

rekorse ,

Might not be popular but you dont want to restrict that type of stuff in tech, because people very quickly and easily find ways around it, usually by using new similar words that call back to the prohibited ones.

This is an area where moderation is key, and I think people might need to reconsider who they allow to send them direct messages. Especially I expect there to be a better way to vet someone who is trying to directly reach a stranger.

If you are literally going to open your door to the whole world some bad stuff will fall in, but you dont have to let them into your private areas just because they made it in the front door.

Trust networks are another idea, essentially verifying new people through acquaintances.

sandbox ,

The same way that we deal with every other thing that social media platforms restrict. You make it against the rules and then enforce them. If you’re feeling fancy you could program some heuristics to determine the likelihood of a message containing deadnames - for example, maintain a list of common targets, look for people tagging them or related hashtags in tweets containing their dead name, and use sentiment analysis, to determine whether those messages should be subject to moderator approval before appearing publicly.

dejected_warp_core ,

I agree with the other responses you have here.

I’ll add one observation: the more petty the censorship, the bigger the backlash. People in general loathe that kind of behavior, and internet geeks with a vivid collective memory of being bullied by people like this? Oh, you reap the whirlwind in such cases.

Adding to a FOSS list: Mindustry and Unciv. The latter is an amazing Civilization 5 clone.

Too be honest I don’t see a future in any crypto except for Monero. I’m not a crypto expert but it’s the only one anyone actually uses as currency because it’s designed to be more stable and transactions are kept private.

DerisionConsulting ,

There isn’t really a mainstream future for any cryptocurrency.

scoobford , to android in Buying a Pixel 7 Pro, install Custom ROM or stay on default?

I’d say stock pixel Roms are a better experience than most custom Roms. That being said, if you have privacy concerns, grapheneOS is right there.

Personal choice, IMO. I don’t miss any of the features I gave up except for AI call screening.

Greeeeat, now I’m jerking off someone for money.

Jokes aside, writing is the predominant single activity I engage in that’s in the spirit of the question, and I’ve made some money doing it here and there. But it was never my job.

Kelly , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

Unless your precise location is a statistical outlier these will be the same thing?

EmptySlime ,

Not really. Using % of forecast area as % chance of rain inherently gives equal weight to your position being anywhere within that area. Even if you limit the forecast area to the 5m or whatever it is radius that smartphone GPS is typically accurate to which a weather app could theoretically do, simply using % of the forecast area covered as % chance of rain inherently gives equal probability of you being literally anywhere within that 5m radius. It would obviously still be more accurate, but those numbers wouldn’t be the same thing.

Kelly ,

Not really. Using % of forecast area as % chance of rain inherently gives equal weight to your position being anywhere within that area.

Yes, unless your location is a statistical outlier the two are the same.

If you happen to know you are on the lee side of a mountain that might change thinks but for most people they are one and the same.

In Australia BOM’s Australian Digital Forecast Database uses a 3x3 KM grid for Victoria and Tasmania or a 6x6 KM grid for the rest of the country.

I’m in a 6x6 area but thats fine for daily forcasts.They also offer forecasts for 3 hour windows for the next 72 hours which is great for medium term planning but to be honest its the rain radar that I use the most. They offer a rain radar that has a 90 minute history and a 90 minute forecast that has sufficient resolution that I can time my breaks at work to stay dry.

  • Game Dev Tycoon
meco03211 ,

Friendly reminder Bloons TD 6 is free for Netflix customers. Unsure if that’s all counties or restricted or tier restricted. It’s been pretty fun, but the best aspect is offline play.

simple ,

Oh yeah, there’s actually a fair bit of good games on Netflix if you have a subscription. Unfortunately, they’re online-only even if they’re singleplayer… I hate subscriptions…

Sonic Mania, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, Into the Breach, and Wonderputt are pretty fun. I haven’t tried anything else.

I can play Bloons offline as long as you update it before you go offline. I was playing it on the plane a few weeks ago.
