  • probably actually is? I think online perceptions of casual sex have it as way more common than it actually is. the average person is having like 3-4 committed relationships, and 2-5 casual relationships sounds reasonable. Especially these days, where there’s an unprecedented amount of single people in the West.

    Now if we’re talking a tall handsome gay man, yeah those are rookie numbers.










  • Picked up Dark Souls 2 at a videogame cafe on a whim back in my youth and got absolutely owned by the first Heide Knight you encounter. Tried it a few more times at the cafe, I don’t think I ever made it to Huntsmans Copse, before finally picking up Dark Souls 1. Bounced off it first at the Undead Berg bull, and then at Sens.

    Several years later, I picked up Sekiro because it was the FotM hotness, and I fell in love with it because I wasn’t a stupid teen anymore and no longer bounced off difficult games. Went back through the franchise from there, completing DS1, DS2, and DS3 within like a month.

    in my experience, nobody ever says anything when I’m dating a woman, so my queerness is only ever brought up if I’m single or dating a man. When I’m in a gay relationship, it’s just easier to say I’m gay. It’s like the only time I can be bisexual is when I’m single, and honestly I try to avoid that state as much as possible.



  • the civil rights movement has been incredibly whitewashed in US education. Americans were overwhelmingly against de-segregation, there was tons of violence against black Americans, and that violence was not solely committed by police officers.

    The Klan might seem like a relic of the past now, but the KKK was incredibly powerful during the 50s and 60s, to the point where in my home state, 1/3 of men were Klansmen and were a significant political bloc. They weren’t just voting in politicians that supported their vile views though, they were lynching people and burning crosses on lawns and shit.


  • that’s the fun part, basically none of the money you pay actually goes to the people who made the thing.

    like 95-100% of the money that the crew of a movie or TV show makes is paid to them during production. There might be a handful of crew, typically writers, actors, and directors who get residuals, but that’s typically a very small fraction of the total amount they got paid.

    Your money goes to the studio who produced the film/show in order to recoup their investment. and in my experience, the studio doesn’t actually give a shit about the creatives who made the thing you love. They’ll get rid of them for someone cheaper at the first opportunity, and a lot of them are trying to get rid of them for AI right now.
