There are conditions where sex is painful that exist for both genders. Vaginismus is maybe 6% for women and phimosis is maybe 3% for men. Numbers on these things are tough to get as many people suffer them quietly thinking they are normal.

If you or your partner experience issues it is important to know you are not alone and you have choices. That said some folks also just do not enjoy sex. Many certainly do, regardless of gender or physicallity.

If you are having issues and you don't want to, I would advise talking with someone you trust and also seeing a doctor. It is good to get a few viewpoints on issues like this as sometimes they can be dismissed.

    Is this a throuple type? Because having one partner who's primary contribution is picking what show/movie to watch might be interesting to a number of couples out there. Even better if they figure out what to have for dinner as well.

    The digital store downloads came via an encrypted file format. That format depends on specific software from the ps5 to open. If you switch to a PS6 or get an update to the OS pushed to your PS5 it is entirely possible those files will no longer open.

    It isn't like they sold you a mp4 or mkv files.

    Making everything run ontop of an LLM was not non deterministic enough. Now with the power of cosmic rays we can guarantee the most non deterministic system possible. With such an unknown state we may finally achieve garbage in sometimes not garbage out compute. Invest in typewriters and monkeys today and you could be a partial owner of the entire works of Shakespeare soon(tm).

    Looking at it just purely because of the console capabilities itself, the Wii was the best console.

    Most of what the Wii did, no other system console or PC replicates well even to this day. They did this while undercutting other consoles on price, still putting out solid entries to their core IPs, and broadening gaming to new gamers.

    All of the other consoles I would want to put at number 1 really are only great because of the library of games they had. Most of those libraries would have been better off if they were not forced to be on proprietary hardware.

    A person who has more muscle will burn more calories just existing than someone with less muscle. Muscle growth is impacted by hormones and other factors impacted by genetics.

    It is a lot easier to diet properly when you burn 1500 calories a day resting than 800 calories a day resting. Taking the right supplements can obviously fix this but someone with 150lbs of muscle can just follow basic nutrition guidelines and it is "easy".

    The Founders strengths are genetic engineering and the ability to maintain individuality inside of a collective. I think both of these have been shown to absolutely crush the Borg and the Founders would see the Borg as a fitting solution to the solids.

    The issue is then you have poked God Emperor Sisko of the sacred temple. A being with unending rage against the borg, a willingness to commit war crimes, and the ability to exist outside of time. Sisko is the only captain who faced a power scaling issue of his own power being too high as he was literally born with plot armor.

    I could see a person who reads and cares about scientific non fiction content might be easily bothered by how often reversing polarity solves the problem.

    Some people just don't like consuming fictional content as a passtime.

    The fact that consumers have LLM garbage shoved in their face doesn't mean that the exponential increase in other ML use cases isn't driving life saving technology. The COVID vaccine only deployed as fast as it did because of AI ML. 20% of surgeries right now are robot assisted and all of those use AI ML.

    On a personal level I've been able to move my family to FOSS because of LLMs. LLMs are very good at understanding how open source software works and translating the workflows to human language. I personally can read man pages but others in my family honestly don't want to have to in order to just watch a show on AppleTV. I can do this with a small local LLM running on a low wattage micro server.

    We are seeing LLMs enabling us easily to overwrite the proprietary software in our home devices and take back hardware and improve repairability so we can stop producing so much E Waste. And the more that companies use LLM code to slop up their embedded devices the easier it becomes.
