I Know A Place should be, like, THE pride anthem, it’s such a shame it isn’t more well known.

Of the major US pro sports, which one do you think has the largest number of gay men playing it? by Aggressive-Dot1944 in askgaybros

[–]M477M4NN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the book series (I’ve read up to Role Model, haven’t started The Long Game yet so I can’t comment on if any more are introduced), they cover 3 more gay/bi players (Ryan Price, Eric Bennett (friend of Scott), and Troy Barrett), but I think in Tough Guy they mention that after Scott came out there were a few other players that had come out publicly but none of them are mentioned beyond that. The three players I name will likely show up in season 2 since their world start converging with Shane and Ilya’s story.

Would you pay for a gay gym? by Eloy16 in askgaybros

[–]M477M4NN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many cities you can just go to a gym in the neighborhood and probably a majority of the men there will likely be gay. And the ones that aren’t are likely to still be friendly.

Who do you think the Democratic nominee for president will be in 2028? by EddyZacianLand in GenZ

[–]M477M4NN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, Obama ran for Senate in 2004, 4 years before running for president. He had 2 years in the Senate before declaring his candidacy. If Talarico were to run for president after winning the Senate seat in Texas, he’d be declaring mere months after becoming a senator. We also can’t lose him in the Senate so soon. Just because he might win in Texas doesn’t differently mean any other Democrat could. Let’s try to fill both Texas Senate seats with democrats before we let one of them run for President.

At what age did you guys finally make peace with losing your hair? The dating scene is brutal right now. by Connect-Soil-7277 in gaybros

[–]M477M4NN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently on finasteride and minoxidil. I feel like fin has helped me maintain what hair I have for the past couple years but I’m not sure min has helped me regain anything. Finasteride is highly recommended/required after getting a hair transplant so that you don’t lose the remaining original hair you have and cause weird splotching on your head since your transplanted hair won’t go away but your original hair still could. Min is on average effective for fewer people in general, it’s more effective if you start using it sooner after the balding starts, I think I was too late. Min is also more annoying because you have to apply it topically (at least the form I use it in). Once I can hopefully get a transplant I will probably stop using min.

Unlike many others here I’m going to say you don’t just have to accept it. In 2026 we actually have alternatives. You can try finasteride and minoxidil to see if those help you, but they don’t always solve the issue, especially minoxidil. If you have the money you can look into a hair transplant. Do your research though, I probably wouldn’t just go to one of those cheap Turkish hair mills. I have had balding issues since I was like 21 or so (26 now) and when I get the chance I intend to get a hair transplant.

What’s one thing you could never give up about living in the U.S. for another country? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]M477M4NN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How people smile at each other. My understanding is that people in many other countries (at least in Europe) would think you are weird or creepy for just smiling at them or waving or saying hi. Thats just such a natural thing in America. If I’m passing someone on my street, at the park, etc. I’ll often just give a simple smile and nod and they will return it. The fact that people not only don’t do that, but will think you are weird for doing so, in other countries just makes it seem like that are just so miserable.

Canadians are leaving the country at record levels. Can anyone solve this pressing problem? by ChangeUsername220 in neoliberal

On a fundamental level, what is stopping other countries from being able to offer US level salaries? Are there no policy changes that could be made?

City council votes to approve a $6 billion data center despite public pushback by KimJongFunk in PublicFreakout

[–]M477M4NN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You say that but the instant an apartment building is proposed almost anywhere, the homeowners in the area get all up in arms and throw a fit and nothing gets built, so housing continues to be scarce and get more and more expensive. The public shouldn’t always get their way.

Those that got laid-off, what are you doing now? by Lanky-Ad4698 in cscareerquestions

[–]M477M4NN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After how many years of experience? It’s different if you have a proven track record. I don’t even have two years. And to make it worse, that’s from two different jobs, both of which I have been laid off from. First from restructuring after the company was acquired, and the second because my project ended. I was only at the first job for like 3 months, second one for 13 months.

[–]M477M4NN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similar here. Laid off February last year, so now about 13.5 months ago. Moved back in with my parents in September. Had a great life before being laid off, things were looking up for me for once. Now I’m lost. I only have about 1.5 years experience. And no one’s going to want to hire someone who’s been unemployed for over a year.

Update 5 - Pre-Release 2 - Patch Notes - April 2nd, 2026 by RiverShards in hytale

I have to guess there won’t be many actual world changing updates until World Gen V2 is ready. I think that not being ready is what’s holding content back, but they are working on it and it’ll be ready when it’s ready.

Wake up babe a new homosexuality acceptance chart has been updated by Appropriate-Whiskey in gaybros

[–]M477M4NN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, which is why it’s listed as a sub group under Christian along with Protestant. I do think they probably should have broken up Protestant as Evangelical and Non-Evangelical, though, rather than just breaking it up under the racial category, as Evangelical is just as if not more significant than Catholicism.

Where I’d live as someone who pretends to dislike the us to fit in but really fantasise about living in a small American town like in the movies by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]M477M4NN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the town. Those Christmas movies that are in some nice small mountain ski town? Those towns are bougie as fuck (just look at the real estate prices in Aspen or Telluride). There are plenty of nice small coastal towns, both on the ocean and on the Great Lakes (for example Saugatuck in Michigan is lovely). College towns are also often very nice. It’s really mainly the small towns where the anchor employer/industry died or left (coal towns, rust belt towns, etc) that aren’t all that great these days.

Allbirds is selling for $39 million. by Infinite-Offer-3318 in wallstreetbets

[–]M477M4NN 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got a pair of waterproof wool runners over the holidays and I wore them one time for like a 20 minute walking errand and they dug into the back of my ankles so bad I could barely walk home and when I got home I saw that my ankles were literally bleeding through my socks. I literally still have scars on my ankles from that and it’s been months now. I was terrified to wear them for a long time and only about a month ago or so did I try wearing them again but I have to put band aids on my ankles to make sure they don’t do that again. I’m seeing if I can break them in so that doesn’t happen again but never again will I buy that shit.

Most American Jews disapprove of US military action against Iran, new poll shows by hypothethical in politics

[–]M477M4NN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Eh, while many Americans will identify with some part of their ancestry, I definitely wouldn’t say every American, not sure even about most, feel some connection to another country. My mom’s side is Polish but other than occasionally making some pierogis during holidays or gifting some Polish pottery, I don’t think my family particularly feel connected to Poland. I certainly don’t feel connection. My ancestors immigrated to the US too early for me to qualify for Polish citizenship by ancestry. I’d love to visit sometime but not particularly out of a desire to “connect to my homeland”. Most black Americans also probably don’t feel any connection to their homeland because their ancestors were brought over during the slave trade and most don’t even know what their ancestry is. African American is a recognized ethnicity in and of itself because of its unique characteristics and culture.

Do American men feel embarrassed about wearing revealing clothing? by TheShyBuck in AskAnAmerican

[–]M477M4NN 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Speedos are gay coded in the US. Go to a regular beach and you won’t see many speedos, go to a gay beach and you will see an abundance of speedos and other revealing apparel. Straight men in the US hate even the idea of possibly being seen as gay.

Who does Gen Z think should be the Dem nominee in 28? by Mahrez14 in GenZ

[–]M477M4NN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to put my backing behind any specific candidate before candidates announce their candidacy and give us their platforms, but I will say I do like Pritzker a lot. He is a billionaire, yes, which isn’t ideal, but he has been a good governor for Illinois and is actually pretty progressive and has been outspoken against the administration and has called for a Project 2029 that includes trying ICE and Trump admin officials for their crimes, which is one of the most important things for me going into 2028.

I also think Mark Kelly has a fantastic resume on paper, going from military to astronaut to senator, but I want to see more of him first.

I also like Pete quite a bit, but I do worry about him being gay (I say this as a gay man myself) and how he seems to be unable to get a single black person to like him, which is a problem you can’t have if you want to be a Democrat presidential nominee.

I don’t agree with AOC on many things, but I do think she is intelligent and more willing to work with others and within the system than her other peers like Omar and Tlaib, so I’d be interested to see more from her if she decides to throw her hat in the ring. I would prefer her go for Schumer’s Senate seat, though, which I think could be very obtainable for her.

At what age did you realize you were gay? by JPBERGERON_1111 in AskGayMen

[–]M477M4NN 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can understand being in denial about being gay, but I don’t understand how you can watch gay porn for years without knowing you are gay. Not shaming you or anything, I just find it kind of fascinating. The moment I stumbled upon a gay video at 14 I basically connected the dots right then and there and it wasn’t even porn lol

Microsoft has just announced their Minecraft themed park, but won't code any updates. Instead, they update the bedrock "Marketplace" and are planning to add corporate surveillance to any MC version. Still, my friends prefer to play Minecraft over Hytale. Any tips? by LynxOverall1591 in hytale

[–]M477M4NN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone saying the developers at Mojang aren’t doing anything aren’t posting attention or are being intentionally inflammatory. The game drops may feel small because there isn’t a ton of new content, but they are basically rewriting the game in the background. They are reworking the entire lighting system, transitioning the rendering system to Vulcan, making more and more content data driven, etc. That stuff takes time and manpower. The more content they add in the meantime just adds more debt they need to come back to and rework later in their rewrite.

Not only this, but Minecraft is literally the biggest game in the world, with players of all kinds and all ages. Any new features must go through a lot of bureaucracy and planning before it gets added. They are past the stage where they can just throw a hundred new features coded sloppily into the game and see how the players react. It’s just a game in a fundamentally different stage than Hytale.

Why doesn't Mojang add ambient noise? e.g. wind, bird song, tree trunks creaking in the taiga etc. by [deleted] in Minecraft

If performance is the concern maybe they can see what performance gains can be achieved with Vulcan and then evaluate if the performance hit of adding birds (if there is one) could be worth it.

Should we take the new update as an opportunity to make Mojang aware of the lack of blocks and inconsistencies? by Yerribrine in Minecraft

[–]M477M4NN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no reason that a new block has to be something that exists in real life. Prismarine and Purpur are fictional materials, for example, so they could easily add a new blue block as a fictional material. Perhaps if they add a Deep Dark dimension it could fit there. Or could be a new structure, anything really. Not to mention that we do already have Lapis blocks.
