Being with women in a close relationship exposes you to the worst parts of daily life—periods, bad moods, bad smells from periods, and rotting gas , stinky fart. Nobody healthy wants to deal with that unless they have a severe kink. That's why relationships should be at a distance or have clear boundaries to avoid all those horrible things as most as possible . I prefer women at their highlight reels, which is why keeping things separate is the only way to avoid the gross reality nobody wants to see or hear.

Take away sexual attraction, and a lot of what people call “interest in women” disappears

For many men, the fascination is heavily driven by attraction fantasy dating sex, and the possibility of sex Remove that entire layer and ask yourself

Would you still find women as a group inherently more interesting than men?

Not individual women you personally know. I mean women as women.

My unpopular opinion: for a lot of men, the answer would be no.

Can you imagine a straight man being like "I looked at an attractive man and thought I was gay".

This is my favorite cheese, gorgonzola:

It is a type of blue cheese because it has that blue edible mold growing on it. The blue mold eats the cheese and makes more blue mold. More cheese, more mold; less cheese, less mold. Mold is a lifeform, and like all lifeforms, its purpose is to make more of it.

Now, people. Like mold, people are lifeforms. Bigger, more complicated, more intelligent lifeforms, but lifeforms nonetheless. Like mold, the purpose of people is ultimately to make more people. That's the reason why the human sex drive exists, to make more humans.

Now, I feel that humans have lost their way in terms of their purpose. Instead of having kids, they are doing other, less significant things. Instead of preserving the planet for future generations, for posterity, they are destroying the planet. This is totally antithetical to the purpose of life, which is ultimately to increase the amount of said life, not decrease it. Global warming has the potential to significantly decrease the amount of life, including human life, that Earth can sustain, but humans are doing it anyway.

People have lost their way in terms of their purpose.

p.s. I previously wrote "Like mold, the purpose of people is ultimately to make more people. That's the reason why the human sex drive exists, to make more humans." Now I know people without a sex drive towards the opposite sex (gay and asexual people) exist, but even gay and asexual people can have kids. There are fertility centers that sell sperm and offer egg donation with surrogate mothers. Gay and asexual people can have kids too. This doesn't only apply to straight people. And I even see some gay people who can afford kids say "Meh, I would rather spend the money on something else". People have lost sight of what's important.

p.p.s. Some people may say "This isn't really an unpopular opinion". Trust me, if I told a feminist woman that her purpose as a person is ultimately to make more people, she would be irate and find that opinion very unpopular. No offense to feminist women, this is just what I believe, my opinion.

1. I've heard that modern AI originates from things like AlexNet (which is the basis of Google Reverse Image Search). Like with Google Reverse Image Search, I can take a photo of my cat, upload it, and it says "this is a cat", and it can even show similar looking cats on the internet.

2. With generative AI, it may have been trained on countless cat photos, and I can type "generate me a hyper-realistic photo of a cat" and it generates a new cat photo based on existing cat photos and user-feedback-based training. I've even had it (Microsoft Copilot) generate for me multiple different cat photos and then I picked the one I like the best.

What is the relationship between these two things (1 and 2)? Like is the latter basically the former algorithmically run in reverse somehow? Or is there no relationship between the two?

I hope my question made sense. If not, just let me know and I'll try to clarify.

I like to take very up-close photos of things like little insects. My old phone had a dedicated macro camera, but my current phone, a Galaxy S25 (128Gb, not plus or ultra), does not, so I have to use one of the three non-macro cameras on the S25. I tried the ultra-wide lens but that's garbage. I'm stuck between the regular wide lens and the telephoto lens on the S25 and I don't know which one to use. Also, is the zoom an optical zoom on both the regular wide lens and the telephoto lens? Or does only the telephoto lens have optical zoom? Should I use the zoom with whatever camera lens I'm using to get better super-up-close photos? Also, given that the S25 lets me choose between 50MP and 12MP when using the camera app with the regular wide lens, will I get better super-up-close photos with the 50MP setting on? I'm so confused.

​

p.s. I also tried using the video function and extracting frames from the video. One thing I like about that approach is that I can have the torch light on the entire time, leading to brightly lit photos. On my old phone, with the macro camera, I could have the torch light on the entire time while taking photos, but when I'm taking photos with the Galaxy S25 that doesn't seem to be an option. Using flash that close up with the S25 causes the insect I'm photographing to come out dark for some reason.

Edit: I tested the photography various ways myself, and if the lighting is good, I got the best results with the zoom set to max (telephoto lens, 12M mode). If the lighting isn't great, I got the best results by using Pro Video mode, turning the torch light on (and it stays on), setting the zoom to max on the regular wide-angle camera, setting the focus to manual and minimal distance, and grabbing the frame in the video with the greatest sharpness. The torch light stays on and illuminates the subject of the photo.

T-Mobile user in the USA. I'm trying to choose between the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 7 Pro and the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2026.

Comparison of the two phones:

​

Some of the pros of the Samsung that I like are that it gets updates for 7 years (the Motorola only gets security updates for 3 years), has an easy to replace battery (just remove the back cover like so ), and it is supposedly very "rugged", so I guess you can drop it and/or get it wet, that kind of stuff.

​

Some of the pros of the Motorola that I like are that it has an old-fashioned headphone jack (I HATE wireless bluetooth earbuds, if I got the Samsung I would need to buy USB-C wired earbuds), it has an AMOLED screen (I've heard this screen is better although I don't actually know because I haven't actually tried it), and the stylus the Motorola comes with sounds nice for marking up screenshots.

​

I'm not super concerned with the camera as right now I have a Motorola Moto G Power 5G 2023 and its camera is plenty good enough for me. I'm also not super concerned with gaming as the only videogames I play are 2D and not super resource intensive. I'm more concerned with "What will end up costing me less in the long term given how often I have to replace it", which is why right now I'm leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 7 Pro. Change my mind.

I am currently an Android user. My phone is a Motorola Moto G Power 5G - 2023 - Unlocked, these are its specs:

​

I'm really happy with it, but I'm no longer getting security updates for it, so I think it's time for an upgrade.

​

A few things I love about it:

​

1. It has an old-fashioned headphone jack. I hate Bluetooth earbuds, but I figure I could make a sacrifice and try a dongle or corded USB-C earbuds if the new cellphone without an old-fashioned headphone jack is worth it.

​

2. It has a Macro camera. I love taking photos of insects like this bee on my window:

​

👆🏼 With the Macro camera, I can take up-close photos like that.

​

3. I really like that my Android camera comes with "Pro Mode" where I can manually set the ISO, shutter speed, and focus. It's good for taking photos of things with tricky lighting like the craters of the moon or constellations of stars. Recently I discovered that Apple puts out an app called "Final Cut Camera" and also there's a free iPhone app called "Blackmagic Cam", and they seem to be able to do custom lighting in video, but I can't figure out how to take a single individual photo with them. If anyone knows how to do that, that would be appreciated. I don't want to spend money on a pro camera app.

​

But yeah, if anyone can address my concerns, it would help me in the process of shopping for a new phone. Help evaluating pros and cons would be appreciated.

I use T-Mobile in the USA. My current phone has an old-fashioned headphone jack and I love it. I hate having to use wireless earbuds or a USB-C-to-3.5mm-jack dongle.

Someone previously recommended a Motorola Moto G Stylus 2026. Are there any other good Android phones that come with an old-fashioned headphone jack?

I've had all different neurological symptoms every day for the past 8 to 9 years and no doctor knows why. I got a brain MRI, MRA, spinal tap, and all blood work and nothing is positive or remarkable. I've tried about 30 different neuro-psychiatric drugs in my life and none of them have had any effect. Some doctors said "Oh, it's probably psychological", but I have no trauma, and talking with a psychologist for years has had no effect.

It's taking a toll on me. I feel that modern medicine and doctors failed me. There is definitely something there, but the existing medical technology can't show it. Does anyone else relate?

The fog lifted and she realized "women are genuinely happier alone".

Hey, sorry for the really depressing title. Go easy on me, this is my first time posting here.

Anyway, I'm only 32 years old and I feel as if my life is effectively over. It's hard to explain why briefly, but basically I will never work or be in a romantic relationship. I also don't really have real two-way friendships, and I don't believe I ever will. I'm on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSSI), which is nice, but all my dreams are dead.

But yeah, does anyone else relate? I can't believe I have to live for multiple decades in this hopeless state.

32M in fine bodily physical health.

I wear glasses for nearsightedness and I used to get an eye exam every year, but I stopped about 2–3 years ago because I have random, sudden, involuntary eye movements. It's something brain-related, functional neurological something, not really well understood. I also have random double vision but the neurologist didn't see anything real to worry about, like my brain MRI and stuff didn't show anything. Anyway, I'm thinking I should get an eye exam, but I'm kinda concerned with the random involuntary eye movements. I have involuntary double vision or involuntary random eye movements every 3–12 seconds. Like I feel uncomfortable with a doctor probing around when my eyes are doing that.

What parts of an eye exam can be skipped in a physically healthy 32 year old with random, sudden, involuntary eye movements? I want to know so I can avoid any discomfort from a doctor probing around when my eyes are moving.
