  • Jokes aside, I watched a documentary yesterday about a study where they used sensors and electrodes on the motor cortex of a subject. They found it took 55microseconds between when he thought about moving his finger and when of actually moved.

    They then interrupted his attempt to move his finger by using the electrode to move the finger instead. They then did series where he was told to move his finger and the computer either would or wouldn’t randomly stimulate the movement first and he had to report whether he felt like it wad him or the computer doing it.

    Subjects disproportionately attributed the motion to the computer even in events where the computer didn’t cause any movement. Suggesting that the subjects had a dramatic reduction in feelings of agency when even the suggestion of outside control was present.


  • If I’m reading this right, they degove the penis and extract it through the mid seam of the scrotum. From there, they extract the entire erectile structure and shorten the urethra to the front end of the perineum before ultimately reducing and connecting the scrotal tissue to create a smooth continuous surface.

    So I have a number of questions.

    Firstly, why the degloving? The outer penile tissue doesn’t appear to be used in this diagram, while I can understand doing it to provide enough tissue to work with for covering the area the penis was located at, it feels unnecessary to extract the entire shaft through the scrotum before removal.

    Secondly, where are the testicles? I was under the impression that fully removing them causes massive health issues because they do actually produce a number of important hormones. I suppose with the interior penile shaft removed there would be enough space to house them internally and the lack of thermal regulation wouldn’t really matter as it’s only really there for the visibility of the sperm, but the diagram does not provide that info.

    Lastly, I have grievances about the placement of the urinary tract. Anyone who’s changed a diaper knows that UTIs are stupidly common even in males if you wipe in the wrong direction. They’re a life long worry for females simply due to anatomical design. While this wouldn’t provide the the enclosed space or extra tissue that the labias do, it would put the urethra far closer to the anus than either existing design and in an area universally known for excess sweating, friction, poor air circulation, and retained moisture. This feels like a recipe for constant and fast spreading UTIs.

    Say nothing about the changes in hygiene behaviour you’d have to make moving from washing a penis to washing this, or the sensory changes that would come from having your anatomy rearranged like this. A UTI with this is going to feel entirely different than with a penis and that’s assuming the nerves needeed weren’t damaged or relocated in the surgery. You may end up with a full bladder infection before it even presents.




  • I drive a dinky little kia soul in an area dominated by pavement princess jeeps and dick compesator Ford duelies. Nothing makes my morning commute better than watching the guy in the huge lifted truck get tilted when they can’t hit speed from a red light as fast as I can. You can literally feel their “custom engine work” wheezing as they push it to get up to 40. It’s so fucking stupid to watch these idiots try to force something twice the size and built for hauling bricks to move as quickly as a cardboard box with adhd. I’m not even moving fast, they just can’t stand to be second to something that takes any level of confidence to be seen in.

    Lately though they’ve stopped trying and over found an even more satisfying situation. Occasionally I’ll start to roll and witness the beast next to me roar and lurch only to pitter back down as they realize they can’t afford to even try at this point. Slowly creeping through the intersection like a moment of inefficiency in fuel use will send them spiraling into destitution.

    I know what it’s like to be truely poor, and I’ll do anything within my power to make sure no one ever has to experience that, but from time to time I allow myself the sick indulgence of watching people who called for suffering experience their choice first hand.




  • I really want to start a sort of civil movement charity type thing that voluntarily helps minority groups learn to operate and aquire firearms. Especially in the queer community, firearms are considered an icky or scary topic, but in this day and age it’s not something you can afford to be scared of. Breaking down the macho talk of gun culture and sticking to clear, safe facts will go a long way, same for a buddy system to help people people who might not be comfortable entering the gun culture oozing gun store to purchase a gun. I know a lot of women who want to buy a gun but don’t want to be a woman in a gun store.





  • 4&5. I already have the perfect partner so 1 is out. Body swap loses that partner, so 8 is out. Everything else here is just free money with extra steps and my disdain for paying for things isn’t so great that I’d limit my options to avoid actually seeing the bill. 20mil initial investments and 30k monthly income while the rest goes to more investments.

    Now, that’s 360,000 personal and 11,640,000 investment annually. With this money being obtained presumably through magic, I would not need to dedicate time to making it. With the allotted free time, I would purchase or establish an independent bank to store my income as well as a small investing firm to manage my wealth. They would be personally vetted, paid handsomely, and I would dedicate time to accommodate their needs and engage with them. They’re not my servants, they’re literally the people making this work.

    With this established, I would first buy up large swaths of the entertainment industry in rural areas across the US. Bowling allies, movie theatres, pools, gyms, things like that as well as at least one advertising and PR firm. These become socialized. Free access for anyone under 20, memberships are income based sliding scales. Employees are paid fair marker value. I will also broker deals with aldi to begin putting stores in every population bigger than 2k. These ventures are subsidized by my own magic money and dividends from my investments.

    After effectively white washing my image with philanthropy for the first 5 years, I will retain a retinue of private mercinaries recruited from military and paramilitary bodies based on their commitment to my cause and picked for a complex mix of loyalty and willingness to do awful things for a good reason. Through a combination of bribery lobbying and the liberal application of men with violence, I will begin to curate government policy. Incentivizing the nationalization of businesses too big to fail, utilities, and infrastructural maintenance needs. Using my network of entertainment venues I will away public opinion in the support of this and candidates I approve of through the application of advertising and psychological warfare techniques.

    At year 10, I will begin orchestrating the removal of the wealthy elite. Most live lavish and reckless lifestyles and accidents happen. The key point here is that you can’t buy a billionaire but you can buy their dealer and I’m sure he’s not getting paid as much as my bowling alley attendants make. With the pool of competing interests dwindling, I will return to step 1 and continue my efforts to effectively make fun free.

    And this is why I’m not allowed to have money.
