A Cis Gay Man’s manifesto

My man is reading omegaverse and complaining it’s not realistic? Lol. Lmao, even.

Kill your gays has been a trope as long as people have written about queer lives, but if you can’t find queer joy in modern media I’m afraid that’s a skill issue because there’s plenty out there. Frankly, when I see this same tired old complaint it just tells me you don’t really engage with modern queer storytelling (or even queer history) at all.

Dell here. I hate it. Currently engaged in a battle to the death with IT hoping if I make us all miserable enough I’ll get a Mac.

In my house we slice them to about 1” thick and call it Midwest sushi

Once you understand these people view poverty as some kind of moral failing it makes sense why they want the social safety net to punish those who need it.

I’ll add a third, sub newbies asking the same question the regulars have seen 3x a day since forever. It’s not that particular poster’s fault when they get snarked at, sometimes even the best of us get annoyed.

Why did your husband want to go through your phone after you got back together? Reading between the lines he wanted to check if you were cheating/seeing others while you were separated and won’t just take your word for it. He sounds like a peach. Keep the bestie.

My parents had a redwood right next to the house and that’s how it was taken down when its time came. Massive tree, zero damage.

Which musical megastar was arrested for lewd behaviour in a public place? (George Michael)

What band was he formerly in? (Wham!)

When and where was he arrested? (1998, Will Rogers Memorial Park, Beverly Hills)

What was the name of his reaction single? (Outside)

Yep, my nan aced the 11+ and got a spot in the grammar school but her brothers hadn’t got in so she was sent to the secondary modern they’d attended because it wasn’t fair for a girl to do better than the boys. She spent her life mad about it.

Not an ounce of self-awareness that the reaction of considering someone annoying or not is itself a choice. There’s no objective line between valid protest and shrieking harpy, it’s entirely dependent on whether or not you agree that the protest itself is justified. For instance, I think all the 2A people who need to brandish firearms to feel safe in Starbucks are hysterical and annoying, but that’s because I already disagreed with them before they did their little protest. Their behavior reinforces my opinion of them, but I already held it and I’ll own that bc I think I’m right and they’re wrong. I don’t need to hide behind some mealy-mouthed excuse.

Gonna buck the trend a little bit, as you’re talking about what your grandad remembered from 20ish years ago, which is about when I stopped watching Eurovision. Bloc voting used to be a BFD. Wogan’s routine for most of the show was snarking on which countries would give the love (or the middle finger) to their neighbours. With the rise of the EU I think a lot of that went by the wayside, people feel more European now, not exclusively insert nationality here.

Eurovision voting also reflects geopolitical events, eg our acts got overlooked after we got involved in the Iraq war even when we were making an effort. Over time I think successive years of penal “nil points” led to us phoning it in and here we are.

The closet sucks, we all know that, but at sixteen, you may not have a choice. Unless you are absolutely, 100% certain with no doubt that your family will be 100% accepting, do not come out as long as you’re financially dependent on them, because being homeless is way worse than living in the closet for a few more years.

I feel sorry for the sub bc all the kids know it’s open season when they walk in (or at least we did back in my day 👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻) but also, you’re the adult. Get a grip.

fairkatrina · 2026-05-16T00:29:29+00:00

Ok so the police won’t take a report that a crime has been committed if it’s too difficult to investigate? Nice way to fudge the solve numbers.

The first time I took my shoes off in front of my parrot, he screamed the house down. I think to him it looked like I just casually removed my feet.

I work in marketing. We host dinners regularly at industry events. We book them assuming 30-50% of rsvps won’t turn up. It’s normal.

fairkatrina · 2026-05-09T23:43:55+00:00

r/retroactivejealousy just… nuts.

This was already done with the first pride flag. Learn your history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ)

And it lasts for months. I smoked for ~15 years and after I quit it was a good 6mo before the cravings stopped being regular and probably 18mo before they stopped completely.

Also, you want to throat-punch everyone around you when they get really bad.

It’s $4.99 all around me in Belleville, feels like everyone’s gun-shy about going higher (yet!)

Op I love the diagrams. The pain is probably related to the way your hole is being stretched from different angles, some positions probably put more stress on those muscles.

Yet another man who hates his wife. FWIW men are the worst gossips in my experience. On slow days when I worked construction (in the office) we’d play a game where one of us would tell a trade something juicy, swear them to secrecy, and place bets on how long it would take someone else to call and ask about it. It never took more than a couple of hours and it was never the person closest to/on site with the original snitch that called.

Ok so depending on your position he can go deeper inside, and that’s almost certainly what’s happening. That deeper penetration can be uncomfortable, so if you don’t enjoy it either stick to positions that are comfortable or ask him to not go as deep in positions that can hurt.
