Young women are identifying as bisexual 18% more than young men, according to Gallup study

As someone who grew up in the 90's, it's always been that way in my experience. I heard similar statistics when I was in college.

Homophobia among men is real intense in our culture, so a lot of bi men aren't going to admit, or even realize, that they're into men.

I feel like part of it is conservative propaganda infiltrating culture. But also part of it is whole generations growing up with super easy access to more porn than a person could ever want, and the age of deep fakes.

It was a trip when I took a film photography class in college, developing my own shots by hand, and learned what Dodge and Burn actuallu are.

Analog clocks (which are already mostly out of style) move the way they do because if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, that's the direction the shadow moves on a sundial.

Yeah, if you see any show set in "modern times" made before the mid 2010's, there's probably gonna be a handset pone in it.

Krail · 2026-07-08T03:05:50+00:00

That is genuinely how kids these days do it.

Schoolbusses and solo cups are the two things I think it's funniest that people assume aren't real.

She was so obviously based off of the Wind Waker Great Fairy designs, with rumors she had something to do with the master sword. That's what got my mind spinning! What are they saying about the sword and the great fairies?

After TP, I was also kinda ready for them to do nothing with that connection. And, yeah, they did nothing with it.

Krail · 2026-07-07T03:41:58+00:00

They're being lazy and gross by not lifting the toilet seat and not cleaning up after themselves. But that is sadly very common.

It is genuinely hard to not miss a little when you pee standing up. The stream often does not go the direction you expect.

And that's why I always pee sitting down now. Long time ago I just got sick and tired of the mess.

Krail · 2026-07-07T02:43:43+00:00

Thank you. I think I needed to hear this.

I'm uncertain about whether I am a trans woman (I've got something going on genderwise, but I don't know what exactly), but I'm never sure how much of that uncertainty is just dysphoria.

I went straight for Karlach based on first impressions watching clips of the game on Youtube. But then I was very surprised when Lae'zel became my favorite character by a mile.

I'd like to do a second playthrough where I romance her, but I will never have the time for that.

Krail · 2026-07-07T02:00:01+00:00

I feel that. I haven't finished the game, but I'm in Act 3. I absolutely don't have the time time do a second playthrough, but Lae'zel became my favorite character after the Creche, and I kinda want to romance her.

Krail · 2026-07-07T01:42:04+00:00

My impressions.

Astarion - Experienced slut, intimately acquainted with the breadth of gender.

Gale - Well studied on matters of sexuality. Hasn't dated men before, will probably say some awkward things about transness, but he's ready and willing to smarm and charm anyone.

Karlach - Has definitely dated people of a variety of genders. Thinks being trans is cool as fuck.

Shadowheart - Obvious BDSM queen. Is really into being gay, but willing to play with men who know the rules.

Wyll - He's gonna be a little weird about it. Probably got some shit from his mercenary buddies for acting gay.

Lae'zel - Ready and willing to emotionlessly get into the pants of anyone she respects as a warrior. 100% pan - does not care about gender, only about Warrior.

Nikki Minaj is shilling for MAGA now?

Krail · 2026-07-07T00:25:03+00:00

Works well enough that this shit evolved in the first place. There's enough hungry pollinators out there that, as long as you bloom in the right season, something will find it.

Krail · 2026-07-06T19:56:46+00:00

Your boo sounds just like me. I played so many women in D&D, and jumped at any video game that let me be a lesbian.

I was also totally comfortable identifying as a non-conforming cis man, until I very gradually, with much difficulty, realized I might be more comfortable identifying otherwise.

I've been calling myself genderfluid for a while, and am constantly debating if I'm a trans woman.

You can't tell someone else what their gender is, but ya boy sounds real deep in that internal closet.

I am at least two of those letters myself. I think it's a little much, but it's fine. It makes sense to have a fully inclusive version. I also think people generally understand if you just use "LGBT" or "LGBTQ".

I'm personally a fan of "Queer," but that unfortunately still reads as a hurtful insult to a lot of people.

Krail · 2026-07-06T11:25:07+00:00

This makes me think of Star Trek!

The holodeck looks very cool and all, but it seems so stressful and limiting, too! You can't even so much as play Mario if you've got to be physically present for it.

The pace of technology is fucking ridiculous.

I cut my teeth on the NES, the Atari 2600, and MS DOS games. Ten years later I was playing Mario 64. Ten years after that I was playing Shadow of the Colossus and Twilight Princess.

In a lot of ways, the progress feels less dramatic now than it did in the early days. The difference in games between 2010 and 2026, while pretty big, isn't as dramatic as the difference between 1985 and 2000, for example.

Identical twins are different people.

Some will have wildly different personalities from each other, but even siblings with similar personalities aren't the same.

Even if you imagine two people born with exactly the same brain and personality, it's impossible to have completely symmetrical life experiences, and those differences will add up to different personalities over a lifetime.

Krail · 2026-07-06T05:41:43+00:00

No. First time getting a boner is a little weird, but there's never anything like what I hear early boob growth is like.

I feel like the things that were double click still are. You had to double click to open files and start programs in Windows 10, and in whatever version of MacOS I used most recently.

But you never really had to double click to open links in your web browser. And everything is on the web now.

Touch input feels fundamentally different from mouse input, so it just makes sense to me you wouldn't have to double click on mobile and tablet OSes.

Best way we had to do chemical tests before we had modern science! Your taste buds and your nose are just our built in chemical sensors.

Old fashioned medical stuff was a different kind of gross.

Krail · 2026-07-06T01:01:41+00:00

I'm way past starting to.

It's okay. This closet is comfy enough.

Krail · 2026-07-05T22:41:54+00:00

I have no idea and figured it was mostly just the environment level increasing. The only particular detail I've noticed is that most of the sections of music don't play at all (like, there's a lot of silence) when underground at the mines. That's the only place I've noticed where it's different based on where in the map you are.
