  • I’ve seen it online more recently, but I do think it’s something most people don’t care about. So for now it seems like the best way to handle it is to just do what you normally do, and if someone says they don’t like it, don’t use it for them.

    Until then, as a wise man once said, “I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes. Hey.”


  • I think this is it. Most of us get the boxed Turkish delight around Christmas time, and based our views on that. Sort of like fruit cake. While I’m still not a huge fan of it, getting some freshly made instead of the shit people normally get in the sake shitty packages makes a world of a difference.

    Granted, not everyone is gonna like it either way, but I’ve heard from a lot of people to get some of the good stuff.


  • One of my friends in high school had one of those small trucks, and I always thought it was so cool. I’m not sure how often she used the bed, but it got decent milage still, it looks cool, and I’m sure it came in handy eventually. If I was looking for a truck, I would totally buy one. But I’m sure as shit not buying one of those pointlessly giant ones. Nothing about them is appealing.









  • Honestly, I’ve been feeling this way a lot lately. Especially with the labels and and pronouns part. I’ll call anyone what they want, and I’m not gonna beleive they’re not that, but some things are getting a bit ridiculous.

    Like not to long ago I learned a new term, I don’t remember what it is, but it was basically a word to describe somes sexuality when you don’t know what their sexuality is. Like someone asks Bob what sexuality Greg is, and they don’t know for certain.

    But A) The term used an acronym for not/non and put it at the beginning of asexual, so it was not not asexual… or just sexual… I guess.

    B) If someone asks, you can just say you don’t know. We don’t need a word to describe someone’s sexuality as “I don’t know.”

    I’m trying not to sound like an old person, and I do get why a lot of terms are uses. But it seems like every few months I hear about a new one, and it just seems like someone made it just to have a new term. I like that people are exploring and we are learning more

    Other posts I’ve seen are things like “Can get guys/lesbians be gay guys/lesbians if they like non-binary people?”… Sure, why not? If someone wants to still use the term gay or lesbian, cool. If they think that puts them more towards bi to an extent, cool.

    “Bi is transphobic, and if you would date trans people you’re actually pan” Or they just grew up with the term bi, and that’s how they identify. It’s not an issue.

    I’m just waiting for the day when I get called transphobic for being gay, which means I only date men and not trans men, so that I can point out that trans men are men, and we don’t need to make it more complicated than just gay.


  • I recently wanted an audiobook and found out it’s only available on Audible(because of course), so I resubscribed from when I had it about 5-6 years ago. Plan was to get the book and cancel again. They have also removed audiobooks from my account. Granted, they’re still available on audible. They weren’t taken off the service. I can buy them again. But it just shows they aren’t mine anymore.

    From now on, I will pirate something before I subscribe again.




  • Feeling like a consumer is a great way to put it. It especially feels more and more like it when trying to do even the most mundane tasks. Like if you own a product but need to ask a question on Google about it, first you have to scroll past the links to pages trying to sell you the product you typed in, then you might get some reddit links, 2-3 from a smaller forum, and then more links trying to sell you the product. It will say there's thousands of results, but it's just the same 6 links to purchase the product over and over again. So now even basic web searches are mainly for buying stuff.




  • What’s it like going from the US to Australia on a more personal level? It was probably a year ago, but on the Australia subreddit there was a post relating somehow to the US. I don’t remember what it was. I left a comment saying me and my boyfriend wanted out, and were looming at places to move to. Everyone was really helpful, and it’s atm towards the top of the list of places.

    But I also haven’t heard much of anything what it’s like going from our culture to there’s, how people treat people moving there, etc. I imagine it’s not a super huge change, but still curious as to what sort of things I shoukd expect if we do go there.
