But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?
Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?

And predators in movies waste so much energy chasing one miniscule prey, which yield insignificant amount of calories, for hours if not days. Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood may have just discovered the first known example of an animal that exhibit autism.

Plenty of kids already know if they are gay or not. In my home country, I have had classmates in elementary school who are openly gay. Some cultures find it awkward to talk about it to children, whereas in some, tolerance and acceptance to lgbt is part of culture. I probably don’t need to mention about the concept and existence of third genders since the ancient times.

Now that I think about it, is she happy? Is she traumatised? Is she regretting? Is she laughing at the absurdity of it all?

I heard Assassin’s Creed Shadows is decent if not good. But overall, it looks like AC Origins is the last properly good Ubisoft game.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 week ago:
Depending where you are, there are tax benefits to legally married couples.
If cost is an issue, you can have cheap wedding. But I think the concern is more cultural in which there is an implicit expectation to have a grandiose wedding, like in a church and have a huge gathering and party with dozens if not hundreds of attendees.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 1 week ago:
You are quite right. There is a tribe in East Africa which makes a hole on their lower lip and place a huge disk into it. It is theorised that the practice started to prevent lockjaw disease that may have been prevalent in the area eons ago. I am not sure how this prevents lockjaw but maybe for them it works.

In my case, autocowreck is the main reason for incorrect spelling and grammar.

I will be honest, I thought that Trump will continue with his fascist-adjacent/fascist-lite policies from his first term. Looks like in this term, he is out for vengeance and doubled down!
- Comment on Full Circle 3 weeks ago:
I always see xenophobia and racism as different level in the same category. Like, the former is “milder” and something as I, as an immigrant, could overlook. The latter is far more hateful and intolerant.
- Comment on Full Circle 3 weeks ago:
The far-right in Europe seems to have lost momentum a bit-- for now. The far-right parties in government in Sweden and Netherlands proved themselves incompetent and lost support. The support on German AfD stagnated. Meloni has shown to be more moderate than expected (well, not quite but that’s a long story). And Le Pen has been prosecuted, but I think this is not enough to actually kill the French far-right movement so long as the French government still practice neoliberal policies. But I think the major factor that made Europeans think twice now about gravitating towards fascism is after witnessing the shit show in America and Musk’s overt election interference in Europe. I should not be laughing, but what a laugh the three months of Trump administration has been!

Okay fascist.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 3 weeks ago:
It might be taboo to say it, but I was about to mention this. I worked in all kinds of job, and from my experience, jobs that are blue collar or high school educated tend to have these kind of shit stirrers. It is like they are still in school and never grew up. But affluent professions are not immune to having assholes either. The more affluent folks are not into bullying and shaming people, but many of them are snob.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 3 weeks ago:
If you are as lucky as you and I who haven’t really had a coworker who acted like this, there are assholes like this in workplaces.

- Comment on Remember when she fucked up the economy 3 weeks ago:
To add on what @Higgs Boson@dubvee.org said, credit to where it’s due, the privatisation did help the struggling British economy lift itself out of edging bankruptcy caused by the oil crisis. We have to admit that, sometimes, you need to tighten your belt. But, Thatcher went too far with gutting welfare and unions. Even some respectable conservatives at the time agreed that she went too far.

The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…
Wow, it had gotten so bad, huh? For once, the market is genuinely correcting itself!
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 weeks ago:
Use Bazzite. It is a distro dedicated to gaming and user friendly for beginners. It still has some limitations but it is better compared to others when it comes to gaming. You don’t really require more tweaking unlike other distros to make games work.

Well, aren’t we all stubborn when it comes to doing new things?
My guess is that it will be younger people who will go to Lemmy (like Reddit before had been).

- Comment on If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it 1 month ago:
I am of different opinion that these folks know they are wrong, but are too egotistic to admit it.
I was taught at an early age to accept mistakes, learn from it and move on. Now I have grown older, I realised that not many people know this, and society also stigmatises someone making mistakes. I think some people refuse to admit to be wrong because either they are too egotistic to accept and learn, or doubling down assertively on the wrong belief as a defensive mechanism from potential public humiliation.
- Comment on Anon is chasing an old high 1 month ago:
Because as a child, everything is novel and new for you so you get that sense of high and awe seeing something new. But now as adults, recreating that feeling is almost impossible because you have already experienced it before.

I have been around when the bean meme came and I still don’t know how that meme started.
- Comment on Hate crimes 1 month ago:
Commenter said that white people are closeted racists.
As a left leaning poc, I see these stupid comments that only white people are racists; men are all mysoginists; cisgenders are hateful, etc. Instead of actually building bridges, these morons engage in the same hateful rhetoric that bigoted individuals from traditionally privileged groups do. You don’t fight fire with fire. No wonder we are seeing right wing counter culture.

This is why the far-right is on the rise because of stupid takes like this.

- Comment on Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86] 2 months ago:
You would get unsolicited advise for just about anywhere, not just job advise.
- Comment on Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86] 2 months ago:
My parents thought having a degree alone will land you a job. By the time I graduated, the paradigm had shifted and interviewers are asking if I had any previous work experience to prove that I have good work ethic. Problem is, growing up, my parents never allowed me to work so I never had anything to show for. Even after graduation, they advised me getting any jobs “underneath” me. It took awhile before I went against my parents advise and finally getting a job related to my degree. The trails of bad advise did not even stop at job-seeking but that will be another long story.
In any case, I realised that my parents are a bunch of insecure nouveau riche (they grew up poor and I can sense they have hint of elitism now that they moved up the socioeconomic ladder) who did not set me up for life well. I told myself I won’t listen to them and rail against them giving me any more advise. I think they realised their mistakes a bit too late now.
