Summarised Left home at 10:00 AM Arrived at Alameda for Galacticamp at 1:00 Met up with a dude We walked around and toured the battleship Left galacticamp with him at 4:00 Went to the bar that was mentioned by the organizers Then moved to a restaurant nearby it that was much better Bought a really nice burger there
09:01
So we start to head home We had to walk like a mile to get to the nearest bus to the Bart Get to the Bart and part ways with that dude While on the ride close fur friend mentioned he’d be free and he can meet up at the Bart station I asked which one and at the last minute he said the station I was on and the doors almost caught my legs So waited a bit and he arrived We had no plans on what to do so we went to the giant park nearby the Fremont station
09:01
We walked and talked around the lake/park from 6:00-10:00 Laid down and looked at the starts and stuff
Afterwards we decided to go to Downtown San Jose Parked our car and rode one of those Bird scooters around town We both crashed into each other twice but it’s all good, just a wounded hand Went to a 7-11 and grabbed some iced tea Took the Birds back to where we parked and he drove me home Stayed in front of my house at the park in his car and just talked from 1:00 to 4:00
It is so weird in Asia the idea is that you are either underweight or overweight. And that is not a very good mindset because it causes people to look down on themselves
LGBTQ shouldn’t be an umbrella to catch every single nonnormative variety of people

Each group is different and you can be multiple types of things without having to add letters

As long as it's not insisted the cumbersome full acronym is used EVERY time the community is mentioned? Including more, explaining the subtle nuanced diversity and all? It's a good thing.

LGBT+, LGBTQ, or LGBTQ+ works pretty damn well for shorthand referencing it.
Question: by associating all the groups together, isn’t that creating a ton of the confusion
C
12:19
Carci
With "there's a bunch of smaller subcategories here" noted by the Q or +, and "if you want to look more into it, here's a big long list" being pretty damn helpful.
R
12:20
Reason the LA Quail
By associating trans with homo, outsiders don’t get the difference. I get that most trans fall into the homo spectrum, but it’s its on thing
I think the confusion mostly comes from sexuality and gender identity being an incredibly complex topic, and from people trying to force it into a very small set of tidy little boxes.
We put the LG... (make it the huge acronym, I’m on a cell phone and my thumbs hate me) in the box along with everything else

And explaining there's a huge amount of diversity and nuance to it all, that everyone's experience with it is different, helps fix some of that confusion, I think.

I think something like the following explanation does well: "LGBT+ is a wide umbrella that includes all kinds of gender and sexuality minorities, not because they're all identical, but because there's common experiences, challenges, and goals shared amongst the entire community."

Let’s look at this logically. What is your income like and do you have the expendable time to sit and play video games instead of being productive?
12:33
If you make enough money great. If you have the time, great. If no time, just wait until you can devote hours to a video game marathon
12:33
If no money. Stop. Do not go farther

But hmmmmm

I think that's probably enough LGBTQ+ ranty stuff from me for now. ^^
*shrug* Some people are just stupid or delusional. They think they're helping, they think they're championing a cause. I'm not mad about their little crusade. Hell, if I felt feelings, I'd feel sorry for them.

The real world doesn't work that way. College campuses and mental institutes do.

If they can't recognize other people have equally valid opinions and views without throwing a temper tantrum, well, that's their problem. And it's more fun to make them screech autistically.

I totally get your perspective scary of rejection. If you never talk to them how are you going to know what happens next. Unfortunately I am the opposite I go nuts talking to people. Yes the idea of rejection in social stuff is scary. I take chances and risks.
Nah. I don't need to assert it to let people know how manly I am. It's only when people call me anything other than Dad of Dads, Ultra Instinct Daze....or better yet Daze the Master of Unconditional Arousal, then I tend to lose my shit.

we should have coffee funnels that go directly into our brains. it would make more sense than having to go down to the stomach, and then back up against gravity all the way back up to the brain.
I mean we can keep it at all ages but I haven't had time to properly police it, and I'm not a SFW type of person to begin. Tamino's also busy as shit so may be time to add another mod or two and be a little bit more active on keep things clean.
You let someone wear you on their head, and you switch yourself on so they have hypervision

but if you're a hypervisor, then your job is to let everyone else be the boss, and to somehow not let them figure out that they're not.

if you smack a hypervisor around, would the hypervisor even feel it? or would the VM that happens to be running at the time rub its head and go "ow"?

how can you be sure you're actually punching the punching bag? maybe it's a virtual punching bag.

Much like if you bitchslap the planet, the ants wouldn't notice, or if some, say, infinitely powerful being decided it cared enough about a universe to crush it and consume its energies for its own, you wouldn't notice.
20:31
If the hypervisor dies, so does the worlds within it. If the hyper's bitchslapped, well, unless the worlds are interrupted from storage, compute, or memory, they wouldn't know. :P

Not sure if it's Lazy or scared to learn new skills. Either way, makes my job harder because instead of orchestrating the moves and hardening, I'm doing template bitch work.

'cause we're now so backlogged on requests and I need some VM's spun up
