@freemo I have thought about this. I think the attractiveness of breasts probably come as indication of nubileness or fertility. Perhaps if a little is good a lot can be better, or perhaps an increase in size shows additional health or nutrient based strength. So someone with developed breasts could be fertile and with additional size perhaps more likely to successfully bring a child to term. This works in nature, but in our current reality it is easy to provide an abundance to calories.
We have evolved to a point where we have overcome our instinctual pointers. The benefits of our instincts is broken. Perhaps those instincts need to be curbed (evolved to newer ones). How do we evolved new instincts?
@freemo true enough, but if large breasts were harmful, wouldn't such fall out of attractiveness? If men didn't find them attractive they wouldn't breed with them in the same way they don't breed with nonsymetric faced and those wirh other features that perhaps signal genetic or social weakness?
Are we better at marketing and changing the internal instincts? Perhaps in the way we can tap into the instinctual desire of sweet energy rich and nutrient dense fruit with less nutrient dense candies and processed products etc?
Certainly we are not actively breeding persons? Not match making those from the breast rich families with those of other breast rich families to create superbreasted offspring?
I went on to suggest blocking Gab merely because he had heard "bad things" about them might be a bad idea. I went on to suggest he might just wait and see if he had problems and block then for reason, rather than rumor.
I went on to defend myself to someone that didn't like my use of "slippery slope" and other aspects of linguistic choosing. But, remembered that of the instances I have had problems on they were more likely to be "safe space" or "activist" rather than open general, with a free speech open bent. As well as the origins of problem persons also being from some of the more "woke" places. I have experienced far more in cw sexual imagery from anime persons than from persons on the big Japanese instance, and though I have had some suggestive stuff, none of it came from switter.
I then went on to State that unless those on your instance are following and or boosting stuff from an instance that might be objectionable you would be unlikely to see any.federated activity from that instance. Is my understanding of the way federation works accurate?
Just responded to someone on Reddit asking about setting up his own instance and wanting opinions on his "Rules". Part of the page that had the rules also has his intent to specifically instance block Gab right off the bat. No others, just Gab.
I stated that I thought getting very specific with rules was a slippery slope, later comparing it to the 3 wishes from a genie scenario.
@_lunawinters you're welcome, let me know when you need more. Like The asylum Street Spankers versions of "my baby in the CIA" and "Lee Harvey was a friend of mine." And also "Breathin'" as well as "Hick Hop"

@freemo because Trent Reznor is an emotional genius
@freemo math is futile, all representation is approximation. :)
@freemo breeding incolves 2 sets of genetics. Tour argument might be better to say that large breasted women should be discouraged from procreation with men with big breasts, or more correctly men from families where the women are larger breasted.
Of course, some large breasted women, are not genetically so but done so by surgery, no?
@_lunawinters Mother Blues by Ray Wylie Hubbard, or Choctaw Bingo (same artist) story just writes itself.... Phil Lee has "Les debris il son blanc " and Paul Thorn has "Joanie the Jehova Whitness Stripper" and there is always Louden Wayneright III doing "I wish I was a lesbian" and anything at all by Bob Log III...
@freemo anchovies or raisins?
I get the "motherhood is biological, fatherhood is social" argument, the biological imperatives aside, human sexual attractions are wide and diverse. Most males are socially homosexual until age 12. Boarding schools prisons and other segregation make quite an incubation of physical experimentation.
That being the case sexual norms as we understand them are more social than physio-biological. Granted the instinctual drive for procreation, as societies become more economically stable and sexuality becomes more recreational and separated from "love" and religious duty, more choices for sexual expression become available, and I see no reason for only women to identify with a percentage if that is how they see themselves. Even if there are straight men on the d/l who don't consider such behavior to give them a percentage :)
FWIW all variation from procreation, be it positional or what have you could actually be considered yet an additional "orientation". But I have been argued against such things before. :)
@freemo couple oz. Of prevention
@ALWETP @kiilas kind of the prevailing theory on women all being some percentage lesbian and seeing people refer to themselves as 80/20 or 60/40 etc instead of xyz-curious. Probably came up with by some het-boy unicorn-hunter or it would fit with what you describe. Why would female sexuality be any different than male sexuality after all.
@grainloom did wonders for the early porn industry
Built this quick-and-dirty, very questionable but quiet linear power supply for avoiding RFI from SMPS. Takes power from an old AC wall-wart, no large heatsink, so I used a ton of dropping diodes just to prevent the LDO from overheating itself.
> The use of 9 diodes and a power-wasting resistor delivers unprecedented scale of system inefficiency, ideal for radio amateurs who have too many junkboxes, free energy advocates and climate-change deniers alike!
