I’m the exception on this. My wife’s confidence and capability are huge turn ons.

I guess we should deconstruct this into three separate ideas worthy of discussion and exploration:

Piss Jesus Calvin? Well now, I’d like to see that.

There are some devices that can do this albeit they aren’t uncanny valley validation or nightmare fuel.

I am not seeing this outside of myself for sure.

I’m not able to comprehend how sex robots working as high feedback sex toys is a kludge for intimacy, even in extenuating circumstances.

How do you get past the reality that you’re fucking a giant sex toy in lieu of actually having sex though?

What?! There isn’t an ego reaping reward for fucking a robot like there is for being desired and wanted by another human. Call this what it is - high tech masturbating or intimacy avoidance devices.

So the dude can add ‘self indulgent’ to the list of weaknesses.

“Let me treat you to one of my favorite places.”

This is the saddest kind of back patting. Isn’t engineering in itself worthy enough that you don’t need to punch down on those who take a thankless, denigrated career that helped you get to where you are today? No?

Hows the whole “resent the stupid kids” method of teaching going for you?

Honestly, you’ll probably shudder in horror but I only really like being in a city for 4-5 days. The reason being, I don’t get a fire under my ass to do anything if I have more than a week there. 4 days of eating, drinking and gawking, then a day of recovery, then 2 days of jamming everything I should have spread out…

“If TS ever covers Funky Worm or Backstrokin’ or any of the myriad Blowfly songs...”

Can’t be any worse than when I did it at Karoke on a cruise.

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here ;)

Oh, I know I’m being a prick about this. See, I actually care about making stock where you just blithely toss powder into the pot and say “perfection”.

Have fun with your self righteous ignorance and ineptitude dude.

Umm, you and homemade stock are common threads in evaluating the merit of homemade stocks. No wonder you consider making stock high effort, you can barely evaluate a situation with a hint of self awareness.

You, a low effort cook: This low effort thing I do is superior to high effort things because I can’t do the high effort things well for X, Y, Z reasons and I swear it’s really high effort.
