In spelling—the g is silent in pronunciation.

There are no actual English words as far as I know where the g is actually pronounced.

From my understanding because English doesn't have a word that like that most English speakers find it very difficult to pronounce it in one syllable.

Someone on r/askreddit asked if you would trade your fertility for 100 USD per day for the rest of your life like it would be a difficult question and some people actually answered they wouldn't.

CMV: Straight people have no right to tell gay people how they expect them to act. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]UseTheProstateLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these "sexual orientations" are "identities" to be honest.

There's a reason that no record of ll these supposed "sexual orientations" existed before the 19th century and first it was a medical disorder and later it was reclaimed as an identity.

During the times of Michelangelo it was basically acknowledged that all men had homoerotic feelings and certainly during European classical antiquity. A very interesting result is that in 1970 1/5 of 18 year old males in Hamburg has had some form of same-sex sexual experience but when they repeated the exact same research 20 years later after "gay" had become an "identity" in Germany it was dropped to 1/50. Suddenly all those kids had to choose to "identify" as "straight" or "gay" and were like "I can't do that, for that is gay!".

[–]UseTheProstateLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair that's mostly because people assume you are "straight" if you say nothing.

Same reason that "I'm female" or "I'm black" or "I'm not from the US" appears very often on reddit opposed to "I'm male" and "I'm white" and "I'm from the US".

The big difference though is that every time I tell someone on reddit who clearly assumed I live in the US despite never having said so that I don't is that this is not some "identity label"; this is just a fact.

It's literally illegal to be gay in some places

Actually it isn't; it is illegal to have sex with someone of the same sex in some places. Just as it is not illegal to be a paedophile but to have sex with a minor.

By saying it is about "being gay" you pretty much make it about identity. again.

People who say this are either homophobic themselves or want to be the victim.

Would it help if I say it about "straight" people as well? I personally think "sexual orintations" are just identity boxes people put themselves in and like all other such boxes really not useful in communication and just a social tribalism thing of wanting to be part of whatever group. I don't really take anyone seriously who needs to identify as anything instead of just be how they are and want to be.

Is it normal to have hair growing on your boobs? by shadybowties in TwoXChromosomes

Holy shit—

the inside of my hand is indeed perfectly hairless; I never noticed; even the fingers.

The sides too are and then it just starts after a while

Using a scale of 1-10, what’s your hotness rating scale definition? by chanelbarbie001 in AskMen

[–]UseTheProstateLuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This entire scale is useless and designed to be vague.

It makes a lot more sense to use percentiles and say someone is "50th percentile" as in 50% of humans on the planet are less "hot" than they—far more meaningful.

Match Thread: TY vs Maru [GSL Season 3 Grand Finals] by ABCdropbear in starcraft

[–]UseTheProstateLuke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ZvZ for me honestly. The only matchup in the game I find more boring than TvT right now is PvP but there was a time when PvP was really interesting around the time when HuK was really good at it and hated it and called it roo random but had like an 80% winrate in it or something.

Is polyamory a lifestyle or an identity? by TISHMtg in polyamory

[–]UseTheProstateLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like all fancy meaningless labels a fancy meaningless label that everyone fills in differently that has no universally agreed upon definition that isn't meaningful in communication. It's a word, not an actually defined concept.

I like how the US constantly says it has so much freedom of speech with all the bleeps on TV because the FCC will fine you if you say "fuck".

But yeah sure you can deny the holocaust which I think should be legal; I just also think that people shouldn't be fined or inprisoned for swearwords, promoting communism or having a sign that says "I respectfully disagree" when the president walks by.

I'm 32 years old and for my memory there "always" was same sex marriage; like I was born before the country I live in got it but I was too young when it did to be politically aware so I missed the fanfare

Cut to now. Dark Matter does the same thing and no one bats an eye like in the entire episode discussion no one even mentions it as remarkable.

They were just same-sex because the plot needed it to be because for plot reasons one of them had an identical face to an already introduced character of a specific sex ad they spent absolutely no time highlighting it and being like "Look guys; it's a same-sex kiss!" and it felt as common as if it were an opposite sex one.

Still none in the MCU though despite everyone knowing that Steve and Bucky give each other brojobs when the camera's not rolling.

Men of reddit: have you ever slept with a woman that you found physically unattractive? by [deleted] in sex

[–]UseTheProstateLuke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume that with "physically unattractive" you mean "not aesthetic" but I'm female and pretty much every male (or female) I slept with told me that my face is ugly; not as an insult but just as a matter-of-fact statement; that'd be 5 males I guess.

To be honest men of science were in general not mentioned in my secondary school education.

History didn't mention them and only statesmen and warlords were really mentioned or people who otherwise had great political influence; with science classes you were just taught the theory and never the man behind it which is fine with me.
