you’re mixing up sex and gender.

sex is the genitals you are born with.

gender is a societal role, stuff like “males are supposed to be strong and emotionally distant” and “females are supposed to be beautiful and submissive to males”.

one does not necessarily have to lead into the other equivalent. why can’t men wear dresses and makeup? what makes something “boyish” or “girly”? why does a “male” or “female” label define what a person can and cannot do for the rest of their life? do they not get a say in what they want to be defined as?

the only, only useful thing about biological sex labels is for medical and sexual purposes, and yet we base almost everything else in life and society around it. that’s just an inefficient use of space on an ID card.

Oh man, I had that phase in my teenage years where I was absolutely obsessed with all that EDM music. My tastes are more varied now but I still enjoy those absolute headbangers.

• I.Y.F.F.E - Jurassic
• Lock N Bounce - Illusions
• Rameses B - Full Force
• xKore - Full Russian
• RIOT - Overkill

Monstercat Uncaged is still a great label to search through if you want more of this high energy stuff.

so you’re saying that big bara men powerfucking each other is the gayest thing in existence?

i’m down.

yo his work is sick

there’s always going to be this stigma against .ml users due to how the .ml instance was formed and how the general userbase behaves.

the good news is that you are always free to switch instances if you find out that you dislike the instance you are currently on. while your posts, comments, and “karma” won’t transfer, you can transfer everything else such as the communities you follow, your settings, and your blocklist.

i’d call them “pricks” but you do you

the way i see it, “folks” can refer to a more traditional group of people, most likely rural, and you wouldn’t call nobles or people of other high status “folks”.

but also i doubt people think it is problematic; it’s just a quirk of the English language that “chat” emerged basically out of nowhere with the closest analogue being “audience”.

i mean, “habit” is a weird word for it. i’d call it more of a trend. “brain rot” seems like an adequate description.

it comes from streamer culture where streamers would refer to their audience as “chat” because the chat box is the main way for viewers to interact with whoever they are watching.

you need to change the gamma on your monitor.

to be clear, gamma is not brightness or contrast, but rather more of a curve. to put it simply, it changes how bright the middle grey colour is the most, while leaving white and black the same.

in your screenshot, if that colour not visible to you, then that means your middle grey is too bright.

most people already (unfairly) brand pedophiles as monsters, and so placing trans people into the same category as pedophiles is a way of alienating trans people from the “regular folk”, marking them as the same “monsters” as “pedophiles”.

to clarify on the “unfairly”: pedophilia is a paraphilic disorder (a paraphilia (a subjectively “atypical” fetish) that, when satisfied, may bring harm to others), not a crime; attraction is not sexual assault.

plenty of wolf dongs in furry fiction; all ya gotta do is look.

“knots” and “sheaths” are common terms when it comes to canine penises. “cloaca” and “slits” appear often for scalies.

“paranormal romance” is such a PG term for “monster fucker” lul

the “best” format for everyday use is each individual person’s personal preference.

you may be more used to DDMMYYYY due to culture, language, upbringing, and usage. in the same vein, i am more used to YYYYMMDD because in chinese we go 年月日 (year-month-day), and it makes organizing files and spreadsheet entries much more intuitive anyways.

just nitpicking, but technically ISO 8601 does not (currently) permit the omission of the year.

if information is to be omitted, it must be done in ascending order of significance, so you can omit, in order, seconds, minutes, hours, and days.

(if you omit the month, that’s just the year left so why bother with ISO 8601 lmao)

1-26 or 01/26 is a way of writing the month and day. in this particular example, it is describing the 26th day of January, or January 26. the year is omitted in this instance because, in this context, it is a way of demonstrating how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance without fully adhering to ISO 8601 guidelines.
