Why don’t they just merge the rooms then?

Just one. But yeah. Not exactly a demographic I seek out.

Ace refers to who you are attracted to sexually, not what acts you find enjoyable. You can just enjoy the physical stimulation (also some aces enjoy sex with partners as a part of a romantic relationship, but not sure if that applies to what I said.

I’ve swapped for various reasons: instance shutting down, defederation by major instance I interest with, etc, downvotes vs no downvotes. I also like having at least two I can easily swap between in case one is down.

I think part of the problem with guys trying to find sex, is chasing it from people who are in no way interested. So if Tom flirts with Sally, but Sally is asexual, then Tom has a 0% succsess potential if he hits on her at the bar. But he doesn’t know that. So after he gets rejected, now he feels bad about himself. Nobody likes getting rejected.

But if Tom went on nsfwlemmy, and found [email protected] then he would know that she’s just like a Buffalo NY city street in December. Ready to be plowed.

Idk, that sounds like the type of username some aces I know would use. Granted, they’re also the type who’d love to be spitroasted…

Probably, is when they ram you randomly, even if you survive, they blame you for their bad driving. So have fun being kidnapped anyways!

Of course they do. Still not the point of the comic and plenty of people immediately understood the point. There doesn’t need to be another 4 panels to explain what they’d be.

I love how a 4 panel comic about dismissal of women’s medical concerns is getting multiple commentors who want to dismiss those problems because a 4 panel comic doesn’t explicitly go into the a specific nuance they are focused on. Plenty of people get the punchline just fine without it.

Sure, there are valid medical reasons. This comic isn’t about that. It’s about the outright dismissal of women’s problems. It’s not about changing treatment based on pregnancy status despite the mention of pregnancy - it’s about the ignoring the problem exists at all to be fixed.

Its satirizing the tendency for doctors to be more dismissive of women having pain than men, for example. This would be more of a problem with non-visible causes of pain, especially ones that predominantly effect women such as chronic migraines. This comic takes extrapolates this to comedic effect by using a gunshot wound instead.

How’d they make the egg disappear?

I’ve had general anesthesia 5 times (3-4 for surgeries) and was given ketamine for another procedure (in a vain attempt to not need the 3rd surgery). None of them were bad. The one time I requested not to use gen anesthesia but they insisted it was required, they were at least light on the dosing, so I was functional quickly and back to normal within a few hours of that.

Most of the times, my parents were there as I recovered from the anesthesia and never did I say anything I didn’t want to say (the ketamine and most recent gen anesthesia were both after I realized I was trans and hadn’t told my parents yet, but one of them had a tendency to ask prodding questions… And post-anesthesia was no exception).

I haven’t had any issues with any particular problems with my surgeries. Some of my other preexisting medical conditions may have caused some inconvenience for the doctors/nurses, but those are just my normal problems.

Why would you go to a gun store if you aren’t always loaded and ready to fire? Not talking about a gun. (ps: pretty sure they’re making a joke)

I mostly call my moms by their first names. I almost never directly refer to them as “mom.” When talking about them to people who know them, I refer to them by their names. Basically only call them my mom to people who don’t know my parents.

I’m in the US. But I think part of the reason I do that is having multiple moms. OTOH, they are trying to teach our niece to call them grammy and nana and I know my cousins have a similar way of differentiating their moms.

Back when I last tried LM gnome, it would fail to get to the log-in screen every couple weeks. So far haven’t had any major issues with bazzite kde.

Its not even unified within a nation. Plenty of nazis in the US have lots of beef with other nazis in the US.

Same. Masturbation takes way longer than needed just because of getting distracted. One reason I look at porn is just to try to keep myself on-task…

My mom has gotten worse over the years, especially since retiring. She used to refuse to support republicans solely because of LGBT+ issues despite otherwise mostly agreeing with them, but I think she may have voted for trump in the most recent election. She mostly buys into the “republicans = good for stock market” and “democrats = steal all your money” meme rather than being a true believer at least. She’ll also repeat like obviously dog-whistle-laden talking points, but I don’t think she really realized how racist they are and how they don’t actually fit into her broader beliefs.

Also, she may struggle a lot with internalized transphobia, so honestly I feel far worse for her than I do for myself. Most of the time she tries to be transphobic to me (which she doesn’t do often), she ends up being really affirming on accident and then says she’d like to transition the other way.

My other mom is more of the traditional MAGA type. Overtly racist (but doesn’t say the n-word, so she doesn’t think she’s racist). OTOH, I don’t think I’ve ever heard her be transphobic and she’s one of the first people to ask me if I considered myself trans.

Plus side of having LGBT parents is sometimes family gatherings at their place is just the queer family members, some of which don’t show up to the larger family gatherings. Its not always the case though and my parents are MAGA lesbians, but most of the rest of the family are further right than my parents and them hosting keeps away the worst of the worst.

I’m the ND that causes most of the branching, upon branching, upon branching but also usually the one to piece the conversation chain back together when we inevitably are both confused how we ended up at the current topic. Since I’m the one who caused the branching in the first place, it would be really difficult for the other person to piece it together.
