  • It’s been two people bud. Other guy took over for me and I don’t see a need to repeat the information, he did a better job than what I would’ve done.

    Your statement is correct in he became popular because of his voice on C-16.

    Listen I don’t care to spell out every detail on why his statements ARE harassment. I don’t feel like you care to listen. That’s fine, no one expects you to be superman. It’s okay to not be right sometimes. You don’t have to change, you’ll just be left behind. Good luck gamer.






  • This isn’t an attack on you, but a personal belief. I don’t care what the authors intentions are. They can shed light on something but once it’s out, the media is out of their hands. Great example is the book “starship troopers” and the movie.

    Another thing I dislike is the ‘natural’ fallacy. Because force is described as ‘natural’. What’s natural is death, life, decay, growth, order, disorder. What the Jedi were shown to be is a weird sex cult that prevented people from getting in unless you had a ‘birth right’.

    If grey Jedi is what all jedi were supposed to be, then that is one thing. But that isn’t what was shown.



  • To be fair, it’s weirder to not be some form of a bigot when you’re born in 1904. And it’s also not surprising that it isn’t researched properly. Psychology today still isn’t researched properly.

    I’ll eventually watch it in my mornings, but I hope it’s more than just “some show is anti-LGBTQ because the boomer who made it learned from someone older than him.”

    The main thing that would make me think a fanbase is bad is if the fanbase has higher than normal ‘problematic group’. Star wars is popular enough you’re going to get every type of fan. There is always a small vocal majority in the fanbase. If one out of every thousand fans is a vocal asshole, then a billion fans you’re going to get a million vocal assholes. That wouldn’t be anti-LGBT that would be par for the course. It would be society, not the show’s fault. If it has less than a million then I would say it tries to welcome LGBT folk, because it’s going against the norms of society.



  • I have a 20yo car with a bad torque converter that I’m dragging my feet in replacing.

    It shakes at stops and to get it to stop shaking I shift it to neutral. Your car is in the shop so you can’t really make that test.

    Fuel sensors can cause some funky things though. Give fuel when it shouldn’t and not give when it should. It will cause misfires that way.

    Driving with faulty parts will cause other systems to fail. It’s usually better to replace things sooner rather than later.


  • Internet websites aren’t the government.

    Hate speech is bad for business. It only makes sense for corporations to ban hate speech.

    You can make a nazi website, for nazis, by nazis. Those already exist.

    I see one chud and I’ll block them. If the site is nothing but chuds I won’t use it.

    If a website sucks, use a different one. Your attention is monetized, and if you want to say nazis are good to be around then give them space to exist. If not then do something about it. The website owners are not restricted by freedom of speech.

    I personally feel like large enough public forms should be held to a higher standard, and if people said half the things they do online irl they’d get beaten and thrown in jail.


  • For context I work on trash trucks and salt trucks. What are you doing that’s making zip ties cut into wires? I need to make sure that the wire harness that runs along the body above and next to the drive shaft that will spin everything the trucks run over. If the harness is loose the cable will get caught in the debris.

    If you’re working in a server room with lots of wires I can see the utility of those fabric fasteners. I don’t get the luxury of the wires only moving when I touch them.


  • Maybe I know too many “clean” homophobes
    Maybe I’ve seen to many people with a lisp that are homophobes.
    Maybe most of the time I see queer folk they aren’t all dolled up.
    Maybe I work blue collar and the only personalization to my person while on the clock are my purple boot laces.

    But I don’t quite like the “gay people HAVE to look good” vibes I got from reading the first half.

    Second half is good though. One of the people I used to work with let their kids painted their nails. So I did the same to make fun of people who complained that he did something nice for their kids.

    I’m also not the biggest fan of introducing with pronouns. Time and place, I’ve done it before and certain contexts it is good to do. I don’t like getting limited by gender. I would rather people treat me for me. I’m a “man” so I must abuse my spouse and never wash my butt. Or I’m an enby so I must be a soft bottom.



  • My second and third paragraph should have that covered.

    If it is a situation where you know you get horny and someone is trying MDMA for the first time, you don’t disclose that you do get horny, and you have sex. I would say that is a gray area that leans towards bad.

    My first time trying edibles was with someone that I already had sex with and was planning on having sex with that night. If we got horny from that and fucked sooner than expected then that would be fine.

    I guess to sum up, if you put someone in a situation where they don’t have knowledge of the possibilities that is bad. Everyone already feels this when it comes to other things. Like hidden fees. They said x but y happened. Why should I expect y to happen? This is a new situation and I’m ignorant and you took advantage of it. Even if I got what I originally wanted the “price” changed.


  • My spouse and I have drunk sex.

    If I’m at a party and I’ve been with a person for a few months, have already had sex before, and already talked about doing it after I also see no issue.

    If you are going to a party that is explicitly for sex and drugs, you should expect to have drunk sex with strangers. You know know this is going to happen before becoming intoxicated.

    If you have talked about maybe making the attempt to date show up so a party on E and corner someone in a walk in pantry, that isn’t fine.




  • I can taste all of the artificial sweeteners. My spouse uses them constantly and they taste sideways to me. My partner doesn’t taste much of a difference so If we ever get drinks mixed up I’m the poison tester.

    The only way to get them to taste fine enough is by using a mixture of a few different ones. I’m sure my experience is similar to people who have the cilantro soap thing.
