It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?
Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)
My personal experience has been one of:i am sure of my sexuality but unsure of my gender. Eventually, i decided that I wouldn’t focus on what gender i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.
I didn’t need a label to feel secure about that.
Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.
Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 1 week ago:
I’ve been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to “make america great again” when it stopped being “great” shortly after he became president.
You cant make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say “see! I made it great again”
But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 4 weeks ago:
I can’t speak for trans people, but i would expect that the best course of action is to be yourself and dont mock anyone. You can rib and have a laugh, but dont open with a whole script of trans jokes. Get to k ow them, like you would with anyone and learn the boundaries naturally. If you think of them as different, you will be on edge the whole time and are more likely to mess up.
If you make any mistakes, just be sure to apologise, and i am sure any of them would understand. Ultimately, as far as i understand it, trans people just want to be accepted and allowed to be them selves and be a part of society. The only way that happens is if we dont treat them differently, whether thans positively or negatively.

I’ve been playing this, too! It’s a great game!
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 1 month ago:
Most definitely can be refuted. There are hundreds or maybe thousands of amazing games out there made by young and old people that appeal to both young and old people. The issue Anon is struggling with is non gamer capitalists running game companies and milking games for every last penny at the cost of quality.
I know it’s a tired example, but look at the company and team responsible for BG3. A game that is widely considered one of the greatest games to be realsed in at least the last 10 years, maybe even longer. This game was made by a company owned and operated by old people and young people. The teams directing, designing, creating, and writing this game were made up of multiple generations of people, and what was made, unimpacted by corporate greed, was a masterpiece.
Good games are products of passion and creative freedom, not money.

- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 2 months ago:
Absolutely fair. An 8nyewr old game should not cost $90 all in.
I dont dispute that. I just think the article is misleading as there is a lot of talk about $90 switch 2 games, which turned out not to be true, and it creates anger that is misplaced. Even if the reality isn’t far from that lie.
I do, however, think it’s an interesting thought experiment to come at it from another angle.
Imagine the article was “8 year old AAA game and DLC at a huge discount” and the article said things like:
- breath of the wild was ahead of its time on release
- the graphics still look great thanks to the cell shadong and art style
- unique gameplay elements and a modern feeling combat system
- vast open world with expansive storyline
- on par with modern games
- currently only $50 on this deal, a bargain considering everything you get for that price
From this point of view i think you would agree that anyone would argue its worth more than $50 and that its a great deal despite being 8 years old.
Nintendo games should definitely come down in price over time, but the point is its just so easy to spin something however you want if you use the right words.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 2 months ago:
Title is a bit misleading
There are a few scenarios here.
-
You own the game on switch and already have the dlc so pay nothing unless you want to pay $10 or have the switch online subscription for the switch 2 edition if you want the enhancements. For a total of $0-10 depending on your choice
-
You own the game but dont have the dlc so pay $20 for that and then $10 for the switch 2 version unless you have the subscription for a total of $20-30 depending on your choice.
-
You dont own the game so you buy the switch 2 version for $70 and the dlc for $20 for a total of $90.
This is not the same as the $90 game lie thats being told, but it is painted that way. To get clicks.
Paying $70 for a game and then paying more for an expansion is nothing even close to new. For example, Destiny 2 is free but if you want the DLC its gonna cost you between $150 and $270 depending on when you buy it as there are sometimes deals on.

- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 2 months ago:
You could try starting with some cable management and then maybe move on to more cable management.
Seriously, at the very least why arent these cables behind your shelving instead of draping over the front edge? Thats crazy. Then you have a pc in the middle with cables going both ways. Is that a LAN cable coming from the right? Drill a hole and run that through the wall and either run it along your skirting board or get some trunking.
You can even remove the skirting, cut away a small section from the bottom back corner of the skirt to create a channel for the cable.
If i was you i would reorganize all of the devices, run all the cables in the same direction and as shown in another comment run them down the leg of the shelf and then across to the tv. And move the PC to the shelf. (Maybe the side of the shelf)
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 months ago:
If a woman i wanted to date didn’t find me funny when i do goofy shit, then she would quickly become a woman i dont want to date.
I can be immature without that being my whole personality. I am mature when it’s appropriate and immature when it’s appropriate.
Just be yourself. You dont want to lock it all away to be in a relationship with someone who can’t laugh at a well-timed fart.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 months ago:
I expect this is true. But just to point it out…
From the article:
It’s worth noting, however, that customer service representatives are often hired by agencies that don’t have intimate, accurate knowledge of a niche issue like this
So it is entirely possible that this is not true.
- Comment on How would I describe myself? 2 months ago:
I would say you are a human and borders are arbitrary. and patriotism, and dividing people up by their country is a silly ancient practice that needs to be removed from society, so we stop fighting over land and immigration.
But if it matters to you, then just consider yourself American. Your current nationality. You can always say you were born in Chile, but now you are American.
