I was just thinking about dial up last night while downloading a game update. My wifi was downloading like 1GB/min and I sat there absolutely amazed at how fast that was, thinking about how the younger me would’ve been mind-blown with that speed.
I don’t miss not knowing things. If I am unsure of something today I can pull out my phone and Google it. Although I do wish I had more of a reason to go to the library now
Kingdom Hearts
Are there any other details you can remember? I’m kinda curious and would like to see if I can help you remember what it was. Was it somewhat historical or did it have more fantasy elements?
When do you think you read it? Do you think it’s The Hunchback Assignmets by Arthur Slade?
Any unexpected texture when I eat chicken. I literally only eat white meat because I can’t stand anything chewy, hard, stringy, etc when I chew.
Start lifting weights and eating more
How it’s happened to me is if you’re semi-hard or not holding your dick down, when you piss it’ll go through the space between the seat and the bowl.
Once every 1-2 months. I use a clear case so it makes a big difference when I clean it
If you don’t mind, how did you two even start that conversation? I’m afraid to bring it up because I know the knee-jerk reaction will probably be a lot of hurt feelings and misunderstandings
I’m certain that I am some degree of polyamorous. But I’m in a 10-year monogamous relationship and feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place

Even though I don’t 100% agree with the defederation, it’s a bit alarming how quick commenters are to chastise their decision. Why risk being federated with a community that will allow or seek “childlike” NSFW content? That’s just asking for trouble, so I can understand why an instance would avoid being associate with that. That’s a huge risk for someone hosting a fairly large instance, especially with the criticism and accusations the LGBTQ+ community has been subject to recently
Rupaul’s Drag Race. I was super turned off by the idea of watching a show about drag queens. I mean, what can be so great about a bunch of men dressing up like women, right?
And during the earlier seasons there were clips and memes circulating online that were, frankly, entertaining and really made me curious so I decided to give the show a try. And wow, I could not believe how easily it made me realize how much internalized homophobia and transphobia I had even as a gay man! The show really opened my eyes to the side of a community that I claimed to be a part but knew absolutely nothing about. Even my partner who refused to watch the show with me for the longest time and finally gave in expressed the same thoughts and realizations that I had.
It also helped me understand how easy it is for someone who is LGBT-phobic to remain so prejudiced and hateful if there is no exposure or education about the communities and cultures we’re not a part of.
I honestly found peace as a gay man that I didn’t know I was missing. And that may sound a little dramatic but it completely changed how I live my life
I agree 100%. I know that there are a lot of people who didn’t like it, but I’m so glad that the film had an impact on others like it did to me. It became an instant favorite and helped me come to terms with a lot of the thoughts and emotions I struggle with
Anyone who basically wants to make the world a better place
I grew up the youngest of 5 children—with all siblings >10 years older—with immigrant parents who were mostly working. So, yea, at times it does feel like the internet raised me
I’m honestly not sure how common it is, but I don’t know anyone personally that does the same thing. It’s so normal to me but people who I don’t usually eat with will comment when they notice I have 5-6 different piles of food on my plate all containing every side ready to be eaten one by one lol
I plan out every bite of my meal. If I have different items/sides I’ll make sure that I have enough for one last bite of everything together
It got a chuckle out of me the first couple times then the joke got old fast
That too! Imagine taking a 256 GB micro SD card to the past?
