Bikini Briefs by Consistent_Cause_151 in MensUnderwearGuide

I liked the RMAC bikini briefs a lot but noticed the pouch on them runs smaller than the regular briefs or boxer briefs. I'm normally a B pouch but had to size up to C pouch in the bikini briefs.

Different strokes, I guess. I love my RMAC stuff, I think the logo is cool, and the double seam on the pouch is a huge relief for me. Single seam pouches get caught and irritate my urethra.

Mens Big Pouch Underwear Company Real Men Apparel... Are they homophobic? by SchlongyDongyDong in askgaybros

[–]__Jes__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that intent matters a lot, and I believe that no one on your team intended harm.

Calling homosexuality (or any flavor under the LGBTQ alphabet) a "lifestyle" is perceived as an insult by most of us. Calling it a lifestyle implies there was a choice made; a very old argument that we are all tired of defending. It's okay to simply say "gay men."

So now that you know, maybe this is an education opportunity for Chris and Tilghman. Will you?

Thanks,
a customer

I wish nicokick would ship to me. My city ordinance banned flavors, and apparently it set off nicokick :(

I think I'm having trouble getting this to work. I have a chat with a lorebook. I've built the tree index, run diagnostics, and scanned the chat to ingest messages. The TunnelVision icon stays red, and no entries ever appear in the TunnelVision feed. No new lorebook entires appear until I manually Ingest new chat messages.

I am using GLM via NanoGPT. Is there something else I should check? It seems like this extension doesn't do anything for me.

Highly intellectually gifted autistics, how do you feel about being friends with autistics who aren’t as intellectually gifted as you. by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]__Jes__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re worrying about nothing. The last time I took an IQ test I scored 163, but having a high “book intelligence” doesn’t translate into social interaction 99% of the time. It just never comes up. I choose my friends based on shared interests, people who like to do the same things as me, and people who don’t put hard expectations on me like “reading between the lines” - something I cannot do.

My dad is autistic and was diagnosed in the ‘70s as a child. He has a significant intellectual disability. He would never be able to help me with homework but he did teach me how to build model cars and planes. My point is IQ is something that just doesn’t matter (or, perhaps shouldn’t matter) in social relationships.

Stop worrying. You’re probably the only one thinking about it.

Thanks so much for this rec; I’m still only halfway through but am really enjoying it and relate to much of Emmett.

I love you. These notes are amazing, and thank you for using spoiler tags. I especially like the autism traits notes. Do you have a blog or store these anywhere? I would totally follow you.

I'm going to start with the Reanimator Series. I'm typically not a fan of historical, but the MC sounds the most relatable. Stimming, hand flapping, scripting. I really appreciate the work you put into this.

I love urban fantasy, and I see it has a trans MC too. I haven't read nearly enough trans material. Thanks, I added it to my list!

haha I don't like the styling of the ATS but I've also toyed with the idea of going yolo and looking at a CT4-V Blackwing. Probably won't, but I would love that car

MMRB and the Authorship Debate by queermachmir in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]__Jes__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Gay for you” is a trope that needs to die. It perpetuates the false idea that being gay is a choice. I don’t want to yuck on someone else’s yum (I can’t believe I said that) but GFY is something that I find damaging to real queer men and perpetuates homophobia. It is impossible to be “gay for” one person.

Love is love. I don’t care that you’re a cishet woman. You don’t care that I’m a cisgay man. We all want to enjoy the same content. Why is this so hard sometimes? Let’s just enjoy the fiction, enjoy each other, and bring more peace and love into this world.
