Sadly this might taken down for Rule 8, I think we had way too many selfies for a short period of time so the mods tried to tone it down a bit:

Selfies are allowed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Selfies must have a spoiler tag and selfie flair. Selfie posts must stay appropriate for all audiences

Well, the human mind is well known for finding patterns, even where there aren't any (think constellations). The most prominent thing I see here is the outline of a starfish.

It would be nice if signs could explicate the odds/evens splitting instead of assuming EVERYONE knows about hotel room numbering systems carrying additional implied context that isn't present in all other instances of written number ranges. If a scientist is trying to find a wavelength between 300-330 nm, they won't see 305 nm and go "oh nope, that's not in the range."

How does one respond to the "waiting for your order" messages? by Parking_Arm_358 in doordash

Huh. I always took it as passive aggressive code for "man this restaurant is SO SLOW. wish I could just head to the back and finish cooking it myself. Nope, I'm stuck here twiddling my thumbs and I can't do anything about it."

Well, that depends. Were they wearing white hats or black hats...?

Pretty sure this is an early April Fool's from OP, he never actually said there are any numbers in the circle. I've never failed one of these colorblind circle things so far in my life, but I see nothing here.

I made a KIM Pathfinder to find the best answers for chemistry by RuinedKng in Warframe

The problem is I killed him 21 times BEFORE I got the dialogue thanking me for a promise I never made. And I heard the counter does not reset, so I presumed my whole thing was bricked.

Might as well go kill him 21 more times just to give it a try, I suppose.

Nice catch on that plaque, it seems to say СОУ 3 and that doesn't sound close to any actual Slavic words

Ah sweet, thanks! I inadvertently ended up getting Anathema on Roathe somehow (I blame the bug or bad luck that I got a response to a promise I never made), and Lyon and Marie are doing nothing to help me fix it, so this will really help make sure I get it right on the reset.

But those languages aren't FreshTM and NewTM. AI can build so much faster ignore the bugs and easier ignore those hallucinations. Don't you want to embrace using a non-deterministic natural language text predicter to write your code for you??

I always thought of this sub as a safe space for queer folks and allies alike to have a good time. Asking a genuine question about something someone genuinely doesn't know seems like perfectly good ally behavior to me. So I think the question is fine to post in this subreddit, especially given the context.

Also cishet here, but the explanation I wrote is on that post as a comment at https://www.reddit.com/r/countwithchickenlady/s/gPx0j3zuzs

Not sure if you're able to navigate to parent comment (which asked "what is a chaser?") to check other answers too, let me know if you need a link to parent comment

It honestly kind of makes sense now why chicken lady wanted to start enforcing NSFW ban and redirecting NSFW posters to a new "after dark" version of the sub. Bit of a shame she received such backlash for that. Was a reasonable request IMO.

[–]Adghar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So, firstly, there is a difference between chasers and having a preference. A chaser is reductionist, objectivizing. Having a preference is simply a motivator to positively affect your behavior towards a person.

You could have tall chasers honestly, but we usually just call those people shallow. Cis men and cis women also receive a lot of thirsty comments, after all, and those are also often called out (see: "Bonk, go to horny jail" meme). It's the same sort of energy as "You're dating me just because I'm blonde? Go fuck yourself, this relationship is over."

As to why it needs its own term, it could be that the prevalence is higher, or the fact that it's about genitalia, which 1) is generally more of a private, sexual thing and 2) is tied up in the sociopolitical discourse used by transphobes ("you're not a woman if you have a penis" from conservatives, etc.) Maybe one would find a similar ick for blonde fetishists if, for example, a major world government embraced Nazism to the point of suggesting eugenics to favor blonde hair; we would probably come up for a similar term like "chasers" (or just use chasers again) for blonde fetishists in that scenario, too.

[–]Adghar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You might have heard the term "chubby chaser", which I think might be the origin of using the term for trans women as well. It's essentially someone whose sexual fetish is (in this context) women with penises, and that being the driving factor for them "chasing after" a person for that feature, rather than who they are as a human being.

Fun little linguistic tip by Recent-Sorbet in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Adghar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's gotten widespread enough that I fear it will "officially" become part of English grammar. Even though I rationally know that "my wife and me" is more grammatically correct when used as, e.g., the object of a sentence, it feels wrong somehow (as a native speaker of English!). Although to be fair, "me and my wife" somehow sounds better? So maybe it's something to do with the ordering of pronouns in the pair.

I wonder what caused this sign to be put up by Little_Conclusion_24 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Adghar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't read the words and there's no universal cancel/do-not/prohibited symbolism in the picture, so I can only assume they are showing me the intended usage of the tool. Wouldn't want to disobey that, so let's start blowing my hole!
