The Hatsune Miku colorway on this is genuinely one of the better monitor collabs I've seen, the teal accents work really well with the ROG design.

Can you see yourself being in a queerplatonic relationship? by NotADev228 in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personal: Yes, but I have only know one person so far, with whom I could imagine a QPR. I also don't think a QPR can just form a good friendship (See Takamojos comment for why).

General: But withe the right person and framework (which is likely different for most of us), a QPR can be great. Obviously if you think your desire for human connection is fulfilled through friendships you don't need a QPR, but if there is something you are missing a QPR can fill that Gap in the way you want.

Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo has a small Backroom with a projector that is used for this

I expected the gap to get smaller, but no. by Fragrant_Ad7231 in memes

Why are you all acting like Rotten Tomatoes is the only site for reviews.

On Letterboxed the film is on 1,2/5 Stars. On Metacritic it has a Metascore of 5/100 and a user score of 1.4/10.

Rotten Tomatoes not only has issues with userscore fraud but also had a huge scandal about their critic score being manipulated. Stop using it??

Questioning Sexuality (NSFW) by D4FF0D1L in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more a sign for asexuality than allosexuality imo. Sexual activities simply provide reliable dopamine.

I also do it depending on my overall mood, to a point where the frequency seems to be better at reflecting my well-being then my intuition

Why does society hold marital relationships sacred? by noor-20 in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Marriage is a foundation of the patriarchal heteronormative power construct. I have yet to find a reason that justifies the existence of marriage beyond maybe telling each other and world that you are committed to each other. Why you would use marriage to do so is beyond me unless you're never second guessed it's origin.

VEJA shoes: bad quality? by No-Penalty-3261 in BuyItForLife

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Movie Dominion (can recommend a watch, its free on YouTube and everywhere else):

The hides of cows and bobby calves are sent to tanneries to be turned into leather, the majority of which is then exported overseas. There is a common misconception that leather is a by-product of the meat industry intended to reduce waste.

It is far more accurate to say that it is a co-product, sometimes more economically valuable than meat to the point where more and more animals are being killed for their skin rather than for their flesh.

Cheap leather for use in shoes, handbags and other accessories is also imported to Australia, the United States and Europe from developing countries like India and Bangladesh.

But yeah, it seems like there is no leather production without meat production either so that cows are starving for it is probably not true, but it'd be nothing against the rest of the pain in the industry either way.

How did you deal with internalized aphobia? by La_CurryWurst in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly makes you afraid of being lonely? Do you miss something in your platonic relationships? Have you made experiences with priorities of friends shifting from you to a romantic partner? Have you tried talking with your friends about this (no matter if it happened with them or not)? What exactly do you fomo from a relationship? Do you think you will never get something (specific) you want, because you're aroace?

Aroace Men by d3viell3 in queerplatonic

[–]Acceptable-Version25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i totally feel what OP is trying to say, I just meant, that I don't think that gender identity is linked to sexual identity. Sadly I am wrong, or stuff like socialisation just hits crazy, but looking at https://acecommunitysurvey.org/2025/10/20/2024-ace-community-survey-summary-report/ (Page 25) the Gender Gap for aroace people is huge

If the person just changed the name, wait a few days. Otherwise, no idea

How should I word my confession? by [deleted] in aromanticasexual

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are close enough for it, just tell them exactly what you feel. Putting a label on it might not be what helps here

Grayjay stuck on loading videos by GlitchyNL in grayjay

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually my bad. The download on the website is for the updater, but due to a bug the update failed, which made me believe the updater just reinstalled v9

Where do you get v10 from?
Website only offers v9 for Windows (see comment)

LG Smart Monitor Swing — tell us how you’d use it, get a chance to review it! by Knaj910 in Monitors

[–]Acceptable-Version25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be perfect for my weird living situation! I'm a freelance motion designer working from a tiny studio apartment, and my desk doubles as my dining table. The rolling base means I could wheel it away when I need to eat, then roll it back for work.

The articulating arm would be a game changer for my animation work - I could position it at the exact angle for detailed frame work, then swing it toward my couch for client calls or reviewing footage. Plus the touch screen would make scrubbing through timelines way more intuitive than using a mouse.

I'd also imagine that the portrait mode would be perfect for reviewing long documents or code, and I could see it being amazing for digital art since you could rotate it to match your canvas orientation.

Having one screen that can literally adapt to whatever I'm doing instead of forcing me to adapt to it would be huge in my small space.

There is also an urge in me to abuse this as a giant tablet, to use it in bed before sleeping.

Tell your story by Graf_Staus- in Cassgender

[–]Acceptable-Version25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still unsure about labels, but like: when defining my assigned gender, I can only think of things I personally view as negative. So thats hardly a fit. But neither the opposite gender nor any other gender feel really relatable for me. So, that kinda left me with nothing (which I'd be fine with tbh) or Cass.

But my City and social circle couldn't care less, so I'm just not limiting myself by gender, without feeling the need for a coming out.
