    I’m sorry, what I tried to say was that sexuality of an individual isn’t something you “learn” through social or cultural things, but it’s something you’re born with. Only the ruleset of what is acceptable and what not is a social or cultural thing.





  • That is the whole insurance business. It is nothing but a bet if you look at it by a single policy. E.g. your insurance bets you’ll probably die at 70, so when you hit 71 you paid more than you get when you die. Your insurance wins. But when you die at 55 you “win” the bet. But because there isn’t just one but thousands of policies those bets aren’t bets anymore, they’re nothing but statistics. And one part is keeping track and calculating how old people born in year xy, in country … with the gender zxy are going to be.









  • It depends what you want. If you play on console and PC then maybe if you also like the games offered. And maybe even cloudgaming on a mobile phone or tablet but that’s often only possible with a controller.

    For me the gamepass is great cause I like playing on pc and Xbox and I share it with my girlfriend, so there is always a game she or I like. And a big take away for me is the “demo” mode. I have really bad motion sickness, so I can’t play a lot of games. But the bad part is, most games are great the first couple of hours cause it’s mostly a tutorial area and these often are better then the rest of a game. So even if I’m allowed to get a refund if I played less then 2 hours, its mostly 3-4 hours after the motion sickness startes. And after that I have lost 60-80 bucks for a game I can never play again. And with the gamepass I can try a lot of games I’m not sure I can play and can just stop if it’s not working, without loosing extra money. I tried so many games in the last months I wouldn’t have bought and some of them I can play a the way till the end. It’s great!


  • For me Skyrim, The Witcher 3, botw and all souls games.

    Skyrim never clicked, it just felt buggy and empty and punishing. Trying to climb that mountain just so a yeti can beat you up? Great, here is your save spot form 15 min earlyer, please try again. I know that’s why it’s fun for so many, I just hated it.

    The Witcher 3 was too… much dialogue. Most of the time I can play 1-3 hours every couple of days. And in the Witcher you walk 15min through beautiful but otherwise empty forest, killing 1-15 something, walk back and talk like another 15min with the guy who gave you the quest. It’s really deep worldbuilding, but when you don’t have a lot of time it’s more “damn, what happend last?” 5min walking “ah, that happened” takes new quest, so much talking…“ah damn, my hour is gone, so I finish the quest another time.” PC off.

    Botw cause the world felt empty and everything broke in an instant and I’m the player ending with 50 healing potions, 10 big scrolls and so on cause MaYbE I’ll need it another time. Doesn’t match with botw. TotK is so much better handling this, cause you can craft any good item in an instant.

    And Souls Games are just a broken mess. They’re not hard by default, they’re hard cause of all the buggy and mushy controls. It never feels crisp, it’s just a big blob and maybe your character rolls or maybe it feels like an invisible wall, who knows. Games like Jedi Fallen Order in hard mode or Hollow Knight were so much more fun, cause the controls were crisp and everytime I lost, it was because of me. I did wrong and not some squishi spaghetti code.
