  • No, they’re right. Lots of people hate the labels and being labelled as such, they just want to be seen as the normal person they are. It’s not normal to be labelled. In my experience, they are the quiet majority and they just want their sexual preferences to be out of the forefront of stranger’s minds, defining their social identity. It’s actually pretty fucking creepy and weird.

    Some people voluntarily do want the label. That’s fine, it’s their choice. It’s not fine to involuntarily assume for others, though. Respect is something that takes the back seat to narrow-minded assumptions that ironically goes against the best intentions. In a respectful society, there are no labels and people are just people. Unfortunately we are still Neanderthalic so social and political labels, categories, etc. still exist and are assigned, for no purpose and with no consent.

    Most people don’t care and want to be left alone. But there are still idiots out there that care about which toilet they can go in or which toilets others can go in. One day our society will be rid of these people and concept like LGBTQ+ will be ridden of too, because people are just people and toilets are just toilets. A person’s identity shouldn’t be defined by their genitals and what they do with them. Labels and adheration to that is just creepy and weird.

    So, yeah, many people you consider LGBTQ+ are against the whole concept of LGBTQ+ and you shouldn’t assume for them or look at them as “that thing” and slap a label on. We can be so much better than this.



  • I work in statistics and we never use girl of woman, only female. The line is vastly different in age and meaning depending on culture, religion, law, or heritage. Even in western societ, 13, 16, 18, and 21 are all valid before tipping to 40, 50, 60, 65, 68, and 70 where the term can be prefixed with some form of adjective.

    It’s old-fashioned. Just say female and every culture/society understands you without confusion or insult. Save you embarassing/insulting people while travelling too.



  • Americans are indoctrinated by their media and society to be segregated into political and social camps that have tribal wars with each other. That’s all priority no. 1 for them rn and it spills over.

    It’s just people bickering about social and political issues like gender, misinterpretation of isms, social hierarchy, etc. But because Americans don’t do anything but compete amongst each other, they bring their problems here where it echoes out into nothingness and disintegrates. But so long as they feel they were heard or had an online “win”, they get a dopamine hit and sense of progress, entirely ignorant to their apathy.

    This can feel, at times, the place that attracts the biggest losers. Like all the troll characters out of South Park’s Skank Hunt saga. But there is also a huge amount of insecurity and desire to be spotlighted. What society thinks of a person is also always a really important thing they’ll post about—just is, they really, really care for some reason.

    Moosh that all together and you got a bunch of apathetic, socially anxious, and insecure people that lack social tact and empathy, hidden on keyboards, watching their world fall apart but hoping someone besides them will help it.













  • It’s definitely yellow.

    But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.

    If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It’s exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it’s green. But if I asked if it’s green or cyan, we’ll have the same issue again, sinc it’s. 50% G and 50% C.

    OP gotta learn their colour spectrum a bit more.



  • I travel a lot and it’s usually huge distances on the road, often followed by long distances on foot. Constantly in the zone, eating up kilometres, taking up the entire daylight and sometimes longer.

    My favourite part is the end when I sit and open a beer.

    “Good job, brain. Fantastic work, body. You can both switch off now, we’re giving ourselves a delicious pat on the back, or four.”
