That was a fantastic read. Thank you for sharing that!

WTF was the original comic here?

Oh, completely agree. It's ridiculous for people to fear that reaction, and ridiculous for people to assume something based on a compliment. But it's one of those things that isn't going to change until we all just say fuck it and change it. I'm rooting for gen z to do this. Lol.

Honestly, the solution to this, I think, is to start complimenting other men. Men don't compliment each other because they're afraid of being seen as gay (even if they're not aware of it, it's fully ingrained into us from the time we're children). Breaking that barrier and complimenting other men, and not (openly) caring about that stigma will help other men do the same. Eventually, men will start complimenting each other.

Note, I say this as a gay man, so I'm sort of past the whole humiliation of people thinking I'm gay bit. I understand it would likely be more difficult for a straight guy, because you (they?) have to also worry about losing potential romantic partners if people think you're queer.

I can't remember who did it, but there's a YouTuber who always clearifies his phones when he gets a new one by removing the back and putting a gorilla glass back on it. Haven't seen his videos in a while, I don't think, but he has several iirc.

YouTube on both counts. I've tried knitting a few times and it just didn't work for me. Tried English and continental. Finally stumbled on Portuguese and it just worked perfectly. I've only knit a few things since learning, but my main problem now is that anything beyond knit and purl I have to try and translate into Portuguese, and it makes it a bit difficult sometimes.

I had the same thought. They're in the mavity universe/timeline right now, and somehow righting things back to gravity is going to also reset the flux stuff so that half the flipping universe isn't destroyed. RTD likes to clean up messes if I remember correctly (I'm not the super fan some are, so I might be misremembering?), like how in the star beast the roads somehow repaired themselves after cracking open. I think he's setting it up to clean up the aftermath of Flux.

That was a good day. I was able to put in the extension after that day.

Even the t-rexes?

Especially the t-rexes.

Suddenly I've had a weekend like in my 20s, but I didn't have to spend a bunch of money on overpriced cocktails.

The real question is, do I magically end up with a boring, closeted "straight" guy who pumps and runs directly afterwards, or am I just walking home naked? Because depending on how that answers, it's either a weekend from my early 20s, or my vacation to Mexico a few years back.

I do appreciate my likeness being used for advertising.
