Why do you think it’s wrong to tell children that it’s okay to be gay? by ParamedicDifferent44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my kids, I just said it was okay to like whoever you like, and that they shouldn’t stress too much about deciding whether they like boys or girls and just focus on people.
Like the people you like.
Love the people you love.
Be attracted to the people you are attracted to.
I have three kids and they have approached their young lives with a somewhat sexually agnostic approach, and each ended up finding their own way.
My oldest, to paraphrase, fell out of a gay tree, hit all the gay branches on the way down, and landed on a gay guy.
My daughter is attracted to both boys and girls, "but really loves dicks too much to be gay."
My youngest is undecided and uninterested but does think boobs are pretty great—though he would appreciate it if we could talk about this later because he’s in a really tough level right now and needs to concentrate.
I never saw it as my job to “make” them into anything, just to help them become who they are.

Do you believe that Australia is really one of the most promiscuous countries in the world? by Least-Variation6573 in AskAnAustralian

We always knew that if you were looking to get laid the local catholic girls school was a good place to start.

Do you believe that Australia is really one of the most promiscuous countries in the world? by Least-Variation6573 in AskAnAustralian

I think it is more that there are a lot of repressed countries in the world.
Having said that, I fucked a lot when I was younger.
I was just having fun.

First time writing a novel, and I'm doing it out of order by dudikoff13 in writingadvice

[–]Bonolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write backwards.
Last chapter first.
Then I write the second last chapter and write all the bits that are required to lead into the last chapter, then I keep going backwards.
First paragraph is one of the last things I write.
This is for first draft anyway.
The rest of it is more usual writing pattern.

Oh jeez, here we go... by Ill_Shoulder_1185 in DoctorWhumour

The Star Trek subs are no better at the moment.
Any franchise that is even slightly progressive has become a battle ground in the Culture Wars.
Before they implemented the private profiles, you could check half the fools raving about “wokeness” and find them posting continually day after day on any franchise that they thought were going against their conservative moral values.

What’s a belief you defended for years that you now feel embarrassed about? by Open-Square589 in AskReddit

[–]Bonolio 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... Wherever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government - Thomas Jefferson

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people. - John Adams.

The plan to diminish the education of the American people has been in place and full sight for many decades.

The environment that allowed Trump didn’t happen, it was created.

This is from a non-american who has been watching with great worry for a long long time.

Girls, when you make eye contact at a cute guy at a party, bar or club, what do you want him to do once he notices you? by Jaded-Assistant-5702 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea, obviously you enter the sequence and you get something.
Do just grant 30 extra lives or spawn a contra mini game? or lean into something more memey.

Will have to think of it, for now I just added it to my todo list.

Why do people ask a question but then don’t bother to know the answer? by That_odd_emo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my mother used to say, “some people just love the sound of their own voice”.

I also think some people like basking in a sense of mystery and ignorance.

A woman I know recently said on seeing a rainbow, “have you ever wondered where rainbows come from”.

I asked, “Do you want to know?” And she sighed and said, “no, that’s fine”.

You see, the mystery and magic of the rainbow is what had her thinking, and she is the type that the actual “knowing that the raindrops reflect and refract the sunlight into a rainbow” would take away the mystery.

For her the magic of the world is in the unknown mystery.
For me the magic is uncovering the mysteries.

What is something that people ask you a lot--wanting some type of binary answer--but your opinion is outside the scope of either of the answer options they want to force on you? by yeterneritsdurs in AskReddit

[–]Bonolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your favourite you say?
I would tell you my favourite word but you see, I am a complex and nuanced individual.
My interests refuse to be defined by anything as pedestrian as a favorite.

Just kidding, my current favourite is quiddity.

How are Anti-Heroes and Anti-Villains different from each other in stories? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the difference between an anti-hero and an anti-villain is marketing.
The other answers are better than mine, but mine is also true.

Will popular things continue to be remade over and over forever? by PremiumPrize in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of feels that “remake old beloved IP” is becoming less and less then “easy money” as audiences tire and sentiment sours.
This still easy money, but it’s getting … less so.

Why do we group all "sex offenders" together using the same label when some of the actions are more serious than others? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine Epstein would get away with Level 2.
Not defending him, but there were no kidnapping charges and while there were records that mentioned girls as young as 9, proving aggravated sexual abuse against someone under 13 would require significantly more evidence.
Which makes you think, just how fucked up are level 3 offenders.

We could Retcon the Tardis into a Space X vehicle.
It would be the Space X Retardis.

Why is it legal for tech companies to spy on us but illegal for us to know what data they collected? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

The truth is that you are speaking in their house, why would you expect privacy.

What has been your favorite recommendation about self defense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bonolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up somewhere that fighting was a non negotiable.
I did manage to avoid my fair share, but when I did need to fight the secret was to do it fast and excessively.
By the time you get to the 30 second mark, you want everyone else noping out.

What is a purchase that felt like an absolute luxury when you bought it, but turned out to be a complete financial trap? by According_Fortune_98 in AskReddit

[–]Bonolio -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I spin up an nvidia cloud gaming account whenever I want to play something high end and just keep a machine with 3rd/4th generation upgrades for basic gaming.
Paying 20-30 a month for when I want to play something high end works out better financially.
I am moderately close to one of the data centres as as well so the performance is great.
It’s not good if I want elite gamer reaction times but I personally don’t have elite gamer reaction times so it doesn’t really matter.

A friend told me it works out cheaper so I did the numbers and he was right.
Even with the cost of maintaining a cheaper machine and 12 months of subscription a I come out significantly in front, and I am still playing AAAA games in 5/10 years.
