I was reading through this Physical attractiveness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia wiki article now (don't ask me why) and came across something moderately interesting.

I bring this up because I've read around here many times about how human sexuality is on sort of a sliding scale; that is everyone has a little bi in them or whatever and everytime I couldn't help but think that I literally have never been remotely turned by anything that could be considered homosexual. (between men).

quoting the wiki writeup:

Studies generally show that men on average place greater emphasis on physical attractiveness than women do, with women being more attracted to personality-based traits by comparison.[1] A 2003 study in the area concluded that heterosexual women are about equally aroused when viewing men or women. Heterosexual men were only aroused by women. This study verified arousal in the test subjects by connecting them to brain imaging devices

And here is the first of four cites listed in Wiki (too lazy to read the last three or even to finish this one ):

FuturePundit: Study on Differences in Female, Male Sexuality

On the bright side, apparently there is something to the whole, every girl has a little bi in them thing.

Wow, the super-duper-straight-totally-not-gay-guy chooses to make a random post about how un-gay he is, totally unprovoked. Hmm......


P.S. Lukie I support you! <3

UPDATE 3-Two Libyan fighter pilots defect, fly to Malta | News by Country | Reuters

In case you guys weren't aware, as went Tunisia and Egypt, so is going Bahrain and Libya. The only fun difference is that the Bahrain and Libyan authorities are bucking back with force. The Libyan gov't going so far as to order military strikes against their people. Two pilots were given such orders and defected like bosses.

edit though it seems the Libyan airforce was not only 2 planes strong: Report: Military Aircraft Bomb Libyan Protesters - MyStateLine.com

I really like that pic, wufwugy, it's pretty damn true most of the time.


So yesterday we had cops swarming the house across the street from us. Then the crime scene unit vans showed up, cops left, bunch of unmarked cars stayed parked. Bunch of cop-guys walking around with blue gloves on. Nobody in the neighborhood knows what's going on at all, can't get any information as nobody talks to the people that live there (50's married couple, kids 17 and 20). Neighbor that knows someone that knows someone, heard it was a murder or a suicide. Or both. It's not on the news anywhere. The house always has at least three cars parked in the driveway (it's a big driveway), and usually 4-6, but now there are no cars to be found. WTF.

Nothing on the news, so I guess it's not a murder and probably a suicide or drug overdose (those kids were fucking crazy, cops came around every month or so for some reason or another). Neighbor told me a body was removed last night. Just sucks, nice enough neighborhood, even gabe can attest to that as he stayed the night at my house last year (or maybe two years ago?)...but this is the latest turn of events that make me want to move away, but maybe the kid that caused all of the problems killed himself and we won't have to worry about shit going down in the neighborhood anymore?

[Lukie]

Is this the same kid that had the drive-by targeted at him? If so, you probably edge out Chase in the wtf/craziest neighbor category

[triumphant cracker]

you are gonna run into crazies every where...doesn't matter where you move to .....

[Lukie]

The last one always gives me a deep laugh, probably because it resonates well with me due to my habit of killing a pizza when I've had a few [too many].

mmm, leftover pizza.....

[UG]

yeah actually the kid that may have committed suicide across the street from me, well, he may have been the guy that shot up the house across the other street from us. so who knows...still don't know the whole story, hopefully will find out within a few days.

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

wuf's pic reminded me of another great quote (not that I necessarily disagree with what the pic is implying):

I've been shaving (facial hair ldo) atleast 4 times a week for roughly 13 years and I still suck at it.

Not so much cutting myself, but:

1. Producing and even line on my sideburns (not legit sideburns, they only come about 1/2 way down my ear)

2. Clearing everything off my jaw line and adams apple area

3. Trying to get a close enough shave without causing razor burn or ingrown hairs

Why is something so easy, so goddamn difficult to get right consistently?

Wow, at first I was like "Seriously!? A forum for shaving?" But then I skimmed through a couple things and with the liquor, watches, and other random forums on that site, it's actually got some fairly decent material in it.

I'm sure on a platform like that, it's e-douchebag/snob population is through the roof and I'll probably never indulge enough to start posting there, but thanks for the reference.

People have shaving problems because they don't shave in the shower

I've been doing this for 15+ years because I shave my head so I never noticed there was a difference. I have been using shave soaps and a brush for the last couple months instead of shvae cream in cans, I still haven't got around to finding a DE razor though. There not that easy to find.

[boost]

I started shaving in the shower after reading about it on here. It makes a world of a difference. I still miss spots when I'm in a hurry, because my fog free mirror is small and not very fog free. But I pretty much never get razor burn anymore. In the near future I'd like to get a DE razor. The cost of disposable cartridges is just ridiculous.

[wufwugy]

[kmind]

I had the same problems and have used one of those hair-cut electric razors for 2-3 years now. No need for shaving cream or buying new razors. The only problem, if it is one, is that it leaves you with a 5 o'clock shadow as opposed to getting you completely shaven.

[boost]

I've tried several electric razors. They never worked for me. Not just not a close shave, but I would always be all patchy and whatnot. Really not sure what I've done wrong, but I'm not sure I really care; std razors give a really close shave and I don't get any irritation now that I do it in the shower.

[kmind]

Yeah I hear ya. There's random patches on occasion so def. not the greatest thing but I'm cheap.

[Lukie]

Random pondering:

What makes people laugh?

Here are a few general observations. When you give someone a sincere compliment, they almost invariably laugh, even if absolutely nothing funny was intended. When you tell a joke, as long as you are putting someone else down (preferably outside the group or someone disliked), people will laugh. If it's directed at themselves or someone they admire, there will almost never be laughter (except maybe in a defensive capacity, but it's not genuine). When two people are conversing, typically the dominant person or person with higher status tends to laugh less. Back to joking, even if a joke isn't directly targeting a person or persons, if there is some type of witty humor or riddle that someone has to solve, usually people will laugh.

What is the common denominator in all the plus laughter examples? I'd be inclined to argue that it's simply when people feel good or better about themselves, or maybe another way to word it would be people laugh when their social standing relatively increases.

Thoughts?

[Hawk]

^^ LOL

[Lukie]

that actually made me bust out laughing

[Lukie]

maybe it's time to re-work my theory...

[wufwugy]

Explaining laughter is one of the most complicated things I can think of

[rong]

Tonnes of laughter isn't real, including a lot of the ones you mentioned. Most jokes aren't lol funny but people still laugh at the end, sometimes in the more dominant/les dominant person example, people laugh to try to make you like them, like a way of blowing smoke up your ass, sometimes it's just polite. DUnno where I'm going with this.

But when you really laugh, there's nothing quite like it, it makes you feel great. In fact my favourite mates to be around are the ones that constantly make me laugh, and they themselves are the ones who aer always laughing, I guess it's infectious.
