Curious how compatibility with a high-sex-drive ace and a low-sex-drive allo would compare typically.

Trump rapes people of all ages and MAGA react by accusing trans people of being abusers.

That’s not what anon said though.

Sometimes we get these cute little things and I pick them up and let them hang around, but some people get freaked out by them and demand I get them out of the room. The ones that I think are more likely to sting humans, I’ll just catch and release outside.
- Comment on Anon takes a DNA test 1 week ago:
Yes, we all get anon was also communicating that his dad didn’t contribute ~half of anon’s genetic material, but using language that also communicates that real parents should be devalued if they don’t contribute their seed and seed donors should be thought of as being more than just irrelevant seed donors.
- Comment on Anon takes a DNA test 1 week ago:
contradicts the story you told before it
At least you recognized that I clearly didn’t think that ancestryDNA tests couldn’t determine paternity. But it just determines who provided sperm (or an egg and womb), not who the real parents are.
- Comment on Anon takes a DNA test 1 week ago:
Or do you mean one needn’t be a biological parent to be a real father to a child?
Correct!
- Comment on Anon takes a DNA test 1 week ago:
Those tests are how we know who our formerly anonymous sperm donor is and how a bunch of us half-siblings know each other. We’ve met the sperm donor a couple times. Seems like a cool dude mostly. But he’s only one person’s real dad.
- Comment on Anon takes a DNA test 1 week ago:
I have a half-sibling who took one of those tests not knowing his parents went to a sperm bank due to fertility issues, so he assumed his mom had an affair (and he’s not the youngest child). The rest of us all knew I think (except the sperm donor’s actual child). Fortunately, he had another one of my half-siblings reach out to him to explain it.
Also “Turned out my father isn’t my real dad” is BS. Genetic test results are useless for determining such.

Oh no, someone enjoys referring to themselves in an unusual way. Lets start dozens of threads to bully them because I don’t like it! /s

When your comment starts with “but drag is extra weird, so its okay to be rude!” it seems odd to accuse others of it.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Perhaps if those words had any value, they’d be worth reading.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Tldr, but suspect you proved my point that people are way too opinionated about other people’s idiosyncrasies. Does drag even post anymore (or like that at least)?
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.

I’m on team Psyþik here. I always find it amusing when I come across the þ in the wild, especially when replies just treat it as normal because of how much San uses it.

A purple dragonA diuretic that causes excess retention of potassium (and also blocks androgen receptors and also a medication for high blood pressure, but those aren’t relevant to potassium).

High potassium isn’t great with spiro.

Certainly an environment that encourages a lot of people to just be nice to everyone in stream by default (except when someone is deemed acceptable to be yelled at and laughed at by everyone else for content…) and some people are lonely enough that they read a little too much into “HI [username]!”
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 5 weeks ago:
Don’t forgot you are in a country were police bombed a rowhouse (both with surface level explosives and dropping a bomb from a helicopter on it), starting a fire that they allowed to burn that killed 5 children (all children of the ~7 people they were targeting) and burned 61 homes, damaging over 100 more homes (making 100’s of people homeless) within the lifetime of almost all non-local elected officials and then re-elected the mayor responsible: pbs.org/…/the-largely-forgotten-history-of-philad… commons.lib.jmu.edu/jmurj/vol7/iss1/3/
Yet, after the bombing, Mayor Goode and the Philadelphia Police Department received support from around the country. The Los Angeles Police Chief at the time, Daryl Gates, defended the use of an explosive device, declaring it “a sound tactic.” Gates also stated that Mayor Goode had “provided some of the finest leadership [he had] ever seen from any politician” and that he hoped Mayor Goode “ran for national office.” Michael Nutter, then an assistant to a city councilman, said “[MOVE] is a group of people whose philosophy is based on conflict and confrontation.” Roy Innis, who was the chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), called Mayor Goode’s handling of the crisis “heroic.” Tom Cremans, the former director of Accuracy Systems Inc., which sells munitions to police departments, said “the police exercised remarkable restraint in not using the device earlier.”
While there was lots of negative media, there was also a lot of positives:
The New York Times referred to MOVE as a radical group, focused more on the complaints from the neighbors against MOVE, and framed the incident as a city reacting against behavior that was well out of the norm for a working-class African American neighborhood. In the Times article, Dee Peoples, the owner of a store two blocks away from the MOVE house, said that “all you hear is aggression. You sleep with it, you wake up with it, you live with it.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote about the group’s strange philosophy and how while it was, in theory, a “philosophy of anti-materialism, pacifism and concern for the environment,” in practice “its history was replete with violence, obscenity and filth.” The Chronicle article stated that former MOVE member Donald Glassey had testified John Africa “had planned an armed confrontation with police and had MOVE members make bombs and buy firearms.” The Lexington Herald-Leader, like the Times, described MOVE as a radical organization and defined the cause of the siege as MOVE refusing “to leave the house under an eviction order from police.” The Herald article also discussed neighbors’ complaints of “assaults, robberies, and a stench at the house.”
People justify state violence, even when it harms 100s of uninvolved people, based on how negatively they can portray those the violence was targeted at and call the their actions “law and order” and point to the aftermath of their own actions as a warzone to justify additional violence.

The police were doing it during BLM every day as well. They’d flood residential areas with tear gas that would seep into random people’s homes with immunity.

Even with millennials, I feel like there’s a big chunk who still barely have any understanding. At least I assume most know a file system exists (ie know of folders and such), but most would think it’s synonymous with the gui software they use to explore it and would have no idea how to even start navigating it by command-line or even imagine it’s possible to using an alternative interface to the one that came with the OS. Whereas younger gens that grew up on iPhones that hide the file system would have no clue. And the older generations frequently just used the desktop for everything.
