I don’t think we’re using the same definition of stigma.
Stigma is a profound, unfair negative belief or stereotype attached to a person or group, causing shame, social rejection, and discrimination.
I’m having a hard time making any of the stuff you’re saying make sense with that definition, and the whole word is inherently social.
The fact is that a lot of people think it’s nasty to fuck your brother, and that you should stop fucking him when you realize you’re related to him. I see the nuance in this situation, but a lot of people don’t, and if they maintain the relationship they will have to deal with those people. It’s already hard enough to deal with homophobia without this on top.


I’m not sure what biological stigma is supposed to mean. Sexual relations between siblings gives most people the ick regardless of technicalities, and that is a social stigma, the only kind of stigma I’m aware of.


While the medical concerns with incest don’t apply here, the stigma of having sexual relations with a relative usually doesn’t take such technicalities into account.
I kind of miss Perl, and still write it sometimes. More often than not I end up with python, though, due to the built-in json parser. Everything is json or yaml these days.


If you’re a birthright citizen, why would you be proud over something you did nothing to achieve? It’s also not your fault, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of either.
It shakes out a little differently if you’re naturalized, but only marginally. That naturalization test isn’t much of a barrier.


Just don’t promise a pizza party and fail to deliver! That happened at my job once, and people did not like it.


Either of those within earshot from my desk and I’m not taking the job.


If the guy protests putting the condom on, I wouldn’t trust them to keep it on during the entire act. Stealthing is common enough that it has its own slang term.
However, it’s easy for me to recommend withdrawing consent, but in the moment when the guy has already been a bit scary during the condom conversation, it’s not always so easy.
Shame on him for completely fucking up the vibe.


Altman is a well known liar. He was even fired by the board of OpenAI for lying to them previously.


That helps against sparks jumping between the balloon and the ground, but things could still get zappy between the individual components of the balloon.


No worries, that only happens if there’s a spark, like for instance some static electricity. Shouldn’t be a problem here, surely this thing won’t generate any of that.


I’m guessing this is next to a golf course, and people try to keep playing the ball after it lands in the cemetery.


This article says the director was a friend of a friend, and “the first animated film made in Scotland” played on his national pride.
It also says I got the order wrong, and that he declined all those roles after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I agree. If it looks like that on the inside, why show the cross section?


Holy shit, I never even heard of that, and the poster gives me an idea why. Was this by request from his grandkids or something?


You seem to be suffering from imposter syndrome. Step 1 is to understand that we’re all just winging it.
Are you getting the job done? Plenty of people you perceive as smarter than you are not getting the job done.


Most functional War of the Worlds merch.


Sean Connery turned down both Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn’t understand the scripts. He turned down Dumbledore in Harry Potter because it was too fantastical. Then he tried a reverse approach where he accepted the next role he didn’t understand, because clearly that was where the money was at. So he accepted Allan Quartermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a movie which flopped hard. Then he ragequit the industry and retired.
Yeah, at least explain the physics of some advanced fucking.
