You need programming socks if you’re going to get into Linux. It makes everything easier.

People go out of their way to invent elaborate conspiracy theories when the real conspiracy is capitalism.

In my experience it doesn’t work so well. I prefer pairing thigh highs with sweatpants when it’s cold. It works much better since sweatpants cover more area and the dual layer effect works better.

I guess they’re a Nazi bar now.

Wow the comments on that wiki page are abysmal. Definitely not a good idea to click there.

I think it is but I’m not sure why.

I think it already is and has been for a while, though I agree that it’s not really great because it puts people down for being straight and doesn’t address the real issue, which is people being bigoted and queerphobic. Not people being straight.

Personally for me I think marriage is overrated 🖤💜🩶🤍💚💚

Where does Agender fall into this chart?

I personally think Monster Energy tastes terrible and I would never drink it.

People ask me to lift heavy stuff regardless of how I’m dressed.

There probably would be a lot of overlap since a lot of what they would learn about in training would be based on human experiences presentation.

I wonder if robots ever become a thing will they experience gender similarly to humans, or will they not have similar experiences with gender? It’s an interesting question, and one that’s difficult to answer because unlike how early sci-fi implied, sentient robots likely won’t be programmed by hand, but trained, similar to how modern (but still primitive by comparison to sentient robots) AI models are trained.

Exactly.

Conservative communities are extremely hate filled and hate dominated, to the point that they often turn on each other if they can’t attack us.

Does it actually cause the chip to curl up?

It’s a pie, not a cake. It’s kind of a tradition to make pie for pi day.

I agree, it feels way better to be able to be open.

Yeah I’ve always taken issue with “born this way” rhetoric because it doesn’t align with how gender identity works, particularly with people who’s identity constantly changes, or for people who’s identity changes with time. The rhetoric about being “born this way” or that it’s “in your genes” is very easy to abuse in order to claim someone is “faking their identity” or otherwise not valid. Which is unacceptable.

Side note: I do not think it is productive or good for people to engage in discussions or discourse about people faking gender identity or orientation. The idea of people faking identity or attraction is actually really reductive and stupid, and gives credence to the idea that some people aren’t valid. If someone identifies a certain way you should respect them by virtue of how they identify even if their presentation deviates from the norm greatly.

Also I’ve heard the “born this way” or “in your genes” arguments used to reinforce claims that someone is not the orientation they say they are. I’ve seen it used in bi-erasure to argue a bisexual person is gay. I’ve also seen (and experienced) it being used to say someone isn’t the gender identity they identify as. This one is especially shitty to experience, it is essentially intentional misgendering, under the guise of helping.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. That is a shitty reason for someone to reject you. Just FYI for anyone else seeing this sexual-fluidity is valid and people don’t need to have been born a certain way to be asexual, or gay, or bi. Attraction can change with time or circumstance.
