    mircea_popescu: the nerve.
    
    BingoBoingo: The moral of the story is that waist is a primary measure of health among women in the same way percentage completion to FUDA is a primary measure of health among men
    
    mircea_popescu: actually it is isn't it.
    
    cazalla: did you coin that meme BingoBoingo because i never heard of a fuda until today

    assbot: Why Dogecoin is a scam, why the people pushing it are assholes, why Business Insider is a contemptible piece of shit, why anyone who ever worked for it will be dancing in the street for nickels and why Kevin Rose is a fuckwit.

    BingoBoingo: cazalla: Originally idiots used it to refer to male FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area) which isn't gendered. So I created a better meaning for FUDA: Fat Usurping Dick Apex
    
    BingoBoingo: Or area, Apex is prolly better
    
    cazalla: for some reason i always assumed fupa was gender specific despite knowing what it meant
    
    BingoBoingo: Equalitit
    
    mircea_popescu: so women exist whose pubic bone can not be palpated do they ?!
    
    BingoBoingo: Unfortunately
    
    mircea_popescu: im telling you, 3rd gender.
    
    BingoBoingo: "Women" also exist who can not get actual vaginal penetration without 24 inch dicks
    
    mircea_popescu: he, she, and sf.
    
    mircea_popescu: or i guess s-f
    
    mircea_popescu is tempted to start using the subhuman pronoun.
    
    BingoBoingo: WHich new pronoun is the subhuman one?
    
    mircea_popescu: well the gender being stupid-fat...
    
    BingoBoingo: Needs a vowel maybe.
    
    mircea_popescu: nah, vowels have  too many calories.

    mircea_popescu: mno, the problem with dating sites is that unless you intend to meet a dog, you're in the wrong place.
    
    mircea_popescu: "met on the internet" !!!!= "met on dating site".
    
    mircea_popescu: dating site is basically where people who don't meet go. much like reddit is where people who don't read go.
    
    mircea_popescu: should be writtit srsly.
    
    BingoBoingo: Oh, no there are fun opportunities that pop up on dating sites like the recently out of a long term relationship and cute girls with borderline personality disorder. THe holy grail to hunt for is the overlap
    
    cazalla: so where is the dating site that removes fat shaming body type descriptions in place of all women are beautiful regardless of size
