  • Side bars on anything throw me off because they break the horizontal symmetry of whatever they’re a part of.

    Old Ubuntu when the taskbar was vertical on the left, browsers that have the default bookmark bar on the left or the right. Apps where all of the dialogues are bunched to one side, offsetting the main workspace.

    Maybe I’m just Slightly on the spectrum, I don’t know, never been diagnosed. But not having my workspace centred and symettrical kind of breaks my brain a bit.












  • ALL OF THEM

    This is the right answer. Because the truth is, you can’t have a fandom without passion. And people that are passionate enough to consider themselves part of a fandom community (regardless of it’s source) are passionate enough to be vocal and opinionated about it. And there will ALWAYS be some who crank the whine up to 11 and annoy everyone else.

    It’s not an issue with any one particular fan community, it’s a feature of all of them.


  • It’s not a stereotype if it’s true, though! /s

    On a more serious note, coming from an immigrant family, you can see it very clearly in a lot of those old Eurpoean cultures (Portugal, spain, etc…) The men work, the women (seem) subservient, but honestly, without them, their husbands are absolutely useless at bills, banking, groceries, literally anything that isn’t getting up and going to work to make money.

    Most men would absolutely fall apart without their wives because while they can dress for themselves, they sure as hell can’t shop for themselves, etc…

    I’m not saying that that’st he modern convention. It isn’t at all. It’s changing. But there’s still a tonne of older women who come in and (half-jokingly) have to buy a bunch of premade meals for their husband because she has to go on the road for a few days and he is useless for that sort of stuff on his own.
