There seem to be a few myths that circulate.

1. If you don't use it for a while, it isn't gonna fall off :| .

2. Last I checked, life doesn't end after marriage, if you love the person you married, are you going to settle for lousy sex? Its a matter of learning what each other prefers, and being open. If you wait, you dont have a preference in the first place, so it just gets better and better.

3. Lots of guys say that if you don't do it before marriage then they will just find someone else to suit their 'needs'... Guys have a much higher libido than gals, but that's just selfish and stupid. If you care for the other person at all waiting is not a problem.

4. Love and lust aren't the same thing, how lazy are you? If shes not willing to make it better (and both sides have plenty of incentive :) ) why marry her in the first place.

5. Girls arent cars -_-... Sheesh...

I voted no.

It's not about "test driving" - I actually find that analogy a bit horrible :x

It's about knowing and loving the person you're with. I'm not religious at all, so marriage to me is about committing to your love for one another to each other and in front your your friends and family - an official, symbolic "I'm with you for life" sort of deal.

To that end, in my view marriage is just an official stamp on what you already have. Sex is a very important thing in a relationship, and there's no way I'd marry someone I wasn't that close to already.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
