Math is weird. If I say I’m 50% older than someone, it’s not the same as if I say I’m 50% younger than someone.

I got pissed off at WordPress requiring me to connect an email service so I can get notified of forms being filled out. So I coded a plug-in that will notify me via Nostr. #grownostr #coding #programming #dev

I wish I could simply post the direct video here.

What’s with the EU bottle cap regulations? What sort of crazy citizens are over there where the streets were littered with plastic caps that they had to pass a law making them attached to the bottle? In the USA, where we have no such law, I find zero bottle caps laying around. #asknostr

My youth son legit just said this: Where is the hole? I can’t find it? Wait, there are two holes? There are two options and I went in the wrong one. Oops, I ended up in the wrong hole. ******* He was playing golf on his phone. #FunnyKids #KidSaysTheDarndestThings #GolfFail #MobileGaming #ParentingHumor #KidsSay #FamilyHumor #GolfHumor #ParentLife #FunnyMoments #KidsBeingKids #DadJokes #GolfGame #ParentingWins #HilariousKids #MomLife #DadLife #FunnyFamily #GolfMemes #GamingKids #InnocentKids #Parenting #FunnyQuotes #KidsHumor #GolfProblems #PhoneGames #ViralKids #CuteKids #LaughOutLoud #RelatableParenting #FamilyLaughs #GolfComedy #grownostr

Deep joke right here. I would have never gotten there if not for the comments. Excellent writing. View quoted note →

Which is a better answer to this question? Woman: How tall are you? 1. Man: Tall enough. How much do you weigh? 2. Man: Tall enough.

I had an epiphany on the origins of sexual orientation and have a hypothesis that I think deserves serious exploration. Research already shows a strong correlation: gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals report significantly higher rates of childhood trauma (abuse, neglect, family dysfunction) compared to heterosexual people – often 2–4 times higher for things like sexual or physical abuse. What if this isn’t just coincidence or reverse causation? What if some people are born with a genetic predisposition that makes their brain more sensitive to early trauma – similar to how certain genes increase risk for PTSD or depression after stress? In those individuals, one possible non-conscious coping mechanism could be a shift in sexual attraction away from the gender associated with the trauma, resulting in same-sex orientation. Not a choice – just the brain’s protective response, like developing other trauma-related conditions. This wouldn’t explain everyone’s orientation, but it could account for a subset of cases where trauma plays a role. Has this idea been explored before, or does it resonate with anyone’s experience/research? More importantly: Are there researchers in psychology, genetics, neuroscience, or sexual orientation studies who would be interested in refining and testing this hypothesis? I’m looking for collaborators, advice on study design, or connections to people working on gene-environment interactions and trauma.
