  • You can be bad at dota, but if you queue into the English queue can you please for the love of God. SPEAK ENGLISH.

    the game has a language based queue for a god damn reason.

    I don’t speak French so I don’t queue into the French queue and hurl racist insults at the French for not understanding English.

    So why does every fucking Spanish speaker that does speak in the English queue seem to be dead set on insulting every English speaker.

    I don’t even talk in matches, I’m just so tired of seeing it and it tilting my allies into oblivion.

    I’m starting to think riot was right. Gamers shouldn’t be allowed the privilege of speaking. It never turns out well in mobas.



  • At least based on the actual psychology research on the topic, access to fictional material for masturbation purposes actually has shown to be the most effective method to prevent abusive urges and relapse.

    Tho considering how hard it is to find funding and people willing to under go therapy it’s a struggle to find reliable data.

    There was one of the leading experts in the topic that did an ask me anything a few years back.

    Reddit ended up banning her and nuking the thread due to the topic. But it had a lot of research shared in it that now is locked up behind pay walls and basically buried deep.


  • Your confusing gender(social) with sex(biological) due to the common usage of male being used in both (social) and (biological) cases.

    Castration is always the removal from a male because it’s talking about sex(biological) as defined by the reproductive organs the physical presence there in.

    Wether or not an entity is transgender(social) or (biological) has no barring on the biological in this instance.

    Bottom surgery would be the correction of physical flesh, from one reproductive organs to the other. Functional or not not withstanding.

    It would be scientifically accurate to say “you castrate a male(biological) that presents female(social) in the process of correcting the biological presentation to align with the chosen social presentation”.

    Such a person would be accurately termed both male and female depending on the context, being social, biological, or medical. As all three can vary depending on the person’s own choice, nature and medical history.

    Medical tho depending on what field your in may be the same or different then biological. So that context gets used much less as a standalone.

    But it would be impossible to castrate a female(biological) as the physical flesh that the term is in refences to physically does not exist.

    Words have multiable meanings, please be careful when you are using homonyms. It can be INCREDIBLY important, and is the leading cause to almost every argument around gender.

    People really REALLY need to pay attention to homonyms.

    Biology is pretty much trinary. Male or female as a baseline and is mostly modified into functional/nonfunctional aspects for the purpose of reproduction. Or hermaphroditic and then again functional/nonfunctional. Biology is rather bland and sterile in terminology and doesn’t much care about anything else.

    Social terminology is where the spectrum is as it’s a construct around role, view, and self presentation. Has changed various times though out history and culture.

    Medical is the fun one, as depending on the field of study in question it varies insanely in terms of use. Tho it’s typically God damn important to be very exact with it cause uhh… hopefully obvious reasons.

    Uhh… Unless it’s 1993 again install drivers on windows is automatic in 99% of cases and catching a virus from install drivers would honestly be a feat of Herculean impressiveness.

    So that would be easier honestly.

    Like the only time it’s easier to install a driver compared to windows is if it comes preinstalled with the kernel/os.

    It’s one of the few things windows does really REALLY well.

    The problem with drivers on windows nowadays is uninstalling them cleanly is near impossible. Damn well near impossible. But most people rarely need to uninstall a driver.


  • The way retard has changed over the years is wild to me. Cause around me there are large communities of people with mental and physical disabilities who aggressively try to tell people that they are infact retarded. It’s the word they grew up with and are fighting tooth and nail to keep it from turning into a slur. Even tho it’s been used as one against those very people for years.

    It’s such a weird thing to watch from the side line. Makes me wonder if this is what it was like during the rise of rap and the n word.

    Tho it’s also getting to the point there’s so many letter-slurs that it’s getting stupid. At some point feels like we are going to have to either just stop caring and accept that intentions matter more then the words them self. Else we are goanna run out of letters to describe slurs.

    Makes it very hard to have meaningful discourse around the topic. To be fair the fear of bans, and punishment for even saying some words regardless of context or topic also just makes it very iffy to talk about this topic in many places.

    Hell iv seen people banned on etymology fourms and subs because someone said a “letter” slur with in the context of explaining the origin of the word. It’s crazy what the internet has become recently.







  • Iv basically never met a single parent that non stopped bitched about their kids that was also a good parent.

    While iv also basically never met a single parent that wouldn’t shut up about how much they love their kid that wasn’t a good parent.

    While a parent can do a little of both, it’s pretty damn obvious which way a person leans after even a short amount of time. People self report real God damn fast on this topic.

    And frankly there’s way more of A then B.




  • No one deserves to be called stupid just because they struggle with an objectively poor onboarding process and gate keeping.

    I am perfectly able to navigate Lemmy’s interface and I still think it’s a pile of Garbage. It suffers from the same problem most projects suffer from. Designed by a programmer not a UX designer.

    Also I would rather enjoy if Lemmy didn’t just become an echo chamber of extremism in the opposite direction of reddit. Cause at this rate Lemmy is already becoming a cess pit of echo chambers and extreme levels of gate keeping.

    For that you need a board spectrum of people. Including those you seem “stupid”.

    So fuck off with your gate keeping. Be helpful and set a good example.
