Oh, to be a sexy, polygamist bonobo.

Wait, THIS is what people are talking about when they say the devs are transphobic?
The dev admitting he said stupid shit in private, supports human rights for everyone, and his personal views should have nothing to do with his work?
Consider the first rule of the Lemmy code of Conduct is:
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.

Let’s examine that.
The points on Who’s Line don’t matter, as a rule - but they do matter because they give the rankings at the end of the show. If the points really didn’t matter, we wouldn’t know about them. “Points” wouldn’t be be a subject of the show and yet they come up at the end of every skit. One person even tallied them up. The points mattered to them, a lot.
Anyway, do you have information or were you just itching to make that quip?

As are the rules of most instances.

They airdrop babie parts that grow into genitals to have sex with themselves to make themselves, if I recall correctly.

Last I checked .today was defederated from one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.
The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.
When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.
I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong. I came here to start a community posting independent media, this seemed like the most unbiased instance at the time.

I joined Lemmy.today to see what it’s like to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s just richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All, instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.
Now it’s my main account.

nevermind. But damn, what a great read. I haven’t given much thought to on-chain ID in years and he lays it out pretty well. Still sounds like encrypted tokens are the way to go, but we all need to have multiple forms for it to protect anonymity.

The liver. Gets high as fuck without dying (much,) can Terminator 2 regenerate itself — like if you gave someone half your liver (in their body) you’d both end up with whole livers, and it’s the most delicious of the organs.

I, too, have lost myself in the changing currents of the scrotal expanse.

I had a one night stand where the guy warned me he had only one ball. My immediate (in my head) reaction was I would not have noticed.
They shift around on their own and sometimes one or both hide for some reason, and honestly I respect the hell out of such a chaotic organ, but they are purely unreliable. Just imagine going through life thinking testicles are stagnant and neat, two nuts in a skin sack, only to find out half the population has these roving jizz pebbles constantly on the move. Our word for ‘planet’ comes from the greek word for ‘wanderer,’ and so should testicles have been named. They wander the groin as the trepidation of the spheres rolls planets across our skies. Never still.
He didn’t want me to touch his ball anyway.

Thalidomide, the Y2K bug and the Challenger disaster came to mind when I read the question. There’s nothing to say the person who found the flaw isn’t an expert, themselves.

I legit came here to comment about The Gods Themselves. Stellar novel. Everyone should read it.
Grear points about the commercial pressures on science, cults of personality and perceived intelligence of successful people, too. Rumor has it Asimov wrote the book out of spite for another sci-fi writer who willy-nilly used an impossible isotope in his novel and did not care when corrected.
Not a spoiler: there are trisexual interdimensional trans people.

I cycle between high and low/no sex drive.
Open relationships work best for me. I know it’s not for everyone, but I support my partners sharing a sexual relationship with someone else while keeping a romantic one going with me, rather than fuck just to keep them happy. Sex without desire rarely makes anyone happy.

What argument? You mean the psychological definition of an addiction? That “argument?”

That’s not addiction, otherwise I’m technically addicted to my painkillers, anti-psychotics and stimulants. As well as air, warmth and food.
An addiction is when someone compulsively seeks out a pleasurable experience despite net negative consequences.

I love these because it give us a glimpse into oldschool metaphors that were so, so obvious at the time. Like of course you’re going to slap down some mussels on that hell talk because it’s an unclean abomination.
And of course you’re gonna give a pregnant women a pomegranate, and make sure jesus has a pelican. Why wouldn’t jesus be hanging with a pelican? If not, at least make sure he’s holding a fish and there’s a shepherd in there somewhere.
The illuminaries were memelord shitposters.

- Comment on Learning to drive 2 weeks ago:
It goes deeper than that, too.
Pop culture painting dads as irresponsible parents comes from the idea that women are natural caregivers while men are just boys who work. It’s a cultural bias that still affects legislation and custody rulings, and why it’s a goddamn fight to get changing table in men’s public washrooms.
Funny drunk dad meme is just the scum on the surface of a shitty lake.
