"According to Men's Health, soaking is when a man puts his penis inside of a female partner's vagina. They then lay in the bed and have someone else shake the bed to cause movement"
They think of it as a loophole to get around the whole "no sex before marriage" thing.
I learned about the Shakers and Quakers back in elementary school but can't remember much about them. I didn't know they were celibate. So I looked into it and there are only 3 left in the U.S.
A new person has joined the last active Shaker community in the U.S, bringing the Christian, communal, and celibate group to a total of three. They once numbered in the thousands.
Interesting. Thank for showing me a rabbit hole to dive down.
I don't disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.
I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up
I was just about to say the same thing! I'm guessing it will take a bit longer than a decade and I'm not too optimistic about our chances of surviving that long. Well, at least surviving with all of our technology intact.
Thanks. I assumed they didn't block all of my servers (there are a lot) but didn't want to visit reddit bad enough to hop all over the globe looking for an unblocked server.
How so? Wouldn't more posts/comments be a good thing for Lemmy?
