I shamefully haven't watched much Voyager since it was on and my first thoughts were that Janeway met Santa and thus the show was a lot crazier than I remember.

(Yes, I'll make time next pandemic. Which RFK is doing his best to hurry along.)

In what way was your response meaningfully different from your original comment?

Are you an llm? Most humans, instead of restating what they've already said, actually read the comment to which they are replying.

Wait, this seems silly. You are in effect saying that it's wrong to blame those who stayed home because some of them would have voted for trump? Like, we'd still blame those people too had they actually voted trumo.

The blame isn't just because you voted for trump it is because you didn't try to stop him, which applies both to those who voted for him and those who didn't vote.

What an interesting pair of choices; "I'm going to look into a month old asklemmy thread to be kind of dick."

You must be a fascinating person with a thriving social life.

Why is there no yearly refreshed covid vaccination recommendation for adults (like from the WHO)?

Jump

Lauchs @lemmy.world 1y ago

I certainly think so! Though admittedly, I, like many Canadians, am feeling all extra patriotic given America's threats and bullshit.)

Canadian here, my province asks that everyone get their yearly flu and covid vaccines, both of which are available for free in any pharmacy.

I just think of literally all available evidence points one way, it's pretty silly to argue every piece is incorrect.

You remind me of people defending Cosby et al with "well, sure but they could ALL be lying." Like, it's conceivably possible but seems extremely unlikely.

Cheers.

You might just be too online to remember the comment to which you are responding which was:

I think strip clubs are the counterpoint to “both sexes are equally horny.”

You also haven't even given a thesis statement just, "I dunno can't say who's hornier" even though your initial position was in fact

Women are very capable of being horny for horny’s sake.

I mean, I'm not arguing that women can't or don't get horny, that's fucking silly. What I've said all along was that I don't think both genders are equally horny and on the basis of the evidence, it seems like guys are hornier. You can whine about the evidence but you've produced nothing to the contrary besides a bunch of complaints that range from tenuous to outright silly. It's pretty easy to complain about evidence, especially without having to reference reality so much as random hypotheticals. Anyhow, for a last time and for funsies, I'll laugh through these claims but then I think I'm done. It's not like this is particularly productive, nor have you made anything close to a compelling point and you seem to have way more spare time than I do. I'm happy to engage with folks but this "NANANANANANANANAANANANANANANA NOTHING CAN BE PROVEN" isn't a particularly interesting position.

Anyhow, here are your "points" but with logic/jokes.

"ahhh, women are put off by porn and in the entire world, no one has figured out how to get them back or build websites catered to them. (Even though such websites exist, and are just much smaller.)
Yes, women only like books. And piracy only affects books.
Cool. And this affects how most porn is hetero based with the idea you want to see naked women, how? Like, most people running these sites are too dumb to figure out they have another market?
"Hey, I've accidentally disproven my argument! When I was arguing that women are afraid to go to strip clubs, on dating apps etc and this is why people think women aren't as horny, I actually meant, any woman who wants to can easily go out and get laid." Ya can't have it both ways. Either most women don't want as much online stuff because it's so easy and acceptable to go out in the real world and get laid OR they aren't out in the real world indicators of horniness because of society/fear/etc.
This might take the cake for the least thought through "point." Like, everyone in porn is so uniquely bad at business that they've decided women are invaluable despite the plethora of online websites aimed at women.

Have a good day.

They may feel just as much hornyness and express it more privately. How can you be confident?

Great question! If only there were some means to access sexual material in the privacy of one's home. Some sort of world wide web that allowed users to access pretty much their heart's desire online... Wait a minute, that exists! And (unsurprisingly) mozt of the sexual material skews heavily male.

For your proposition of equal horniness to be true, one of two must be true: A)women are so repressed they don't even want sexual materials in which case, even if it's cultural and not biological, women are functionally less horny or B) they are so terrified that someone will bust in and search their web history which seems kind of a bizzare amount of repression.
