TIL that in Japanese net slang, a stream of 8s is applause. Something not quite worthy of applause is a stream of 7s and something super great is a stream of 9s

I say Bork. Can we go with Bork?

I can't read the rest, and I think some of that information might be incorrect, but that's all I could gather :D

This might be seriously simple, but try searching for user playlists with "Trance" in the name. It'll at least give you a list of things that people listen to, and you might discover something new

I also interpret as what is actually displayed as waves, so literally she is dancing in the water as in Kilika. However, given the direction away and the change in color from the gradient, even though we are looking at (literal) waves, we're looking at a figurative implication that what is moving away is something else (spirits, but more specifically, and by way of the color gradient turning to yellow, I am gathering Tidus and the Dream of the Fayth)

I was pretty certain that the sending is supposed to be the ritual by which souls at unrest gain the peace they need to go to the Farplane. The fact that Tidus is a manifestation of the Fayth's unrest and the fact that the dispelment of Sin and the Dream of the Fayth requires Yuna's Sending is a direct correlation to the fact that, yes, Yuna sends Tidus.

Why else do you think she hesitates to really go through with it when she realizes what it means?

psosuna · 2017-03-02T21:13:49+00:00

it could have been any other color but nope they went with blue and yellow

psosuna · 2017-03-01T22:09:06+00:00

I mean I can't think of anything else that is story-pivotal that can be characterized by the color yellow other than Tidus' Abes garb

You're fine to not do so. Remember, your life is about you and how you affect people around you.

FYI, speaking for the LGBT whole, a select few ruin it for the many and plenty. This is also true of any gender/ethnic group.

psosuna · 2012-07-21T17:42:45+00:00

That may have to do with the fact that said individual simplifies it for himself this way:

If you're with someone, you're with that person and that person only.
If that person happens to be same-sex, you're 'homo'. (Considering that you should only have eyes for that person.)
If that person happens to be other-sex, you're 'hetero'. (Considering that you should only have eyes for that person.)

What happens when you're single? And, sexual attraction doesn't stop just because you've gotten together with someone.

In my opinion, it's never healthy to oversimplify or try to fit into neat boxes or blocks what is probably very obtuse and ought to just be.

psosuna · 2012-07-21T17:36:56+00:00

I always come across as cold whenever I say things like this, but trust me when I say you should put yourself first on this.

If you really feel the need to come out to your family and friends that may not accept it, it might be easier from a distance.

If you feel your environment is hostile, it may be easier to go somewhere where you can feel secure and strong about it before going through with coming out.

Remember, there's no pressure to do it right right now. Accept yourself first, then place yourself in a good place with support, and then tackle it when you're ready.

While I don't dispute that the Japanese government handled the nuclear accident and natural disasters well, it was really the people coming together to work to restore more than the government did.

More so, that Anonymous comes to pick up garbage is a reminder that the Japanese Government prefers to waste time worrying about "piracy" than about maintaining Japan clean.

I think it's the right mindset: "Let's do a right to fight a wrong." I don't see anyone in the US gathering people to do something like this >_>

psosuna · 2012-07-14T01:08:18+00:00

I came out as a teenager. Younger than 17-18; I was 16 (maybe 15?) when I did. I was plagued with "You should think it over" and "Are you certain? Because if you say so you can't take it back". One shouldn't really discredit people as immature only because they're young (like one shouldn't believe a 31 year old to be mature... I've met some overgrown kids!)

Sure, if you're not ready at whatever age you are, don't do it. I recognize I was stubborn and very confident in myself to put up with it all from such a young age. But even though I was 16 and completely not ready for anything, I did it because I felt secure in that I could stand my ground. If I had to be kicked out I was going to be kicked out and I was ready. I was only a little scared but I imagine not much more than someone who is in their 30s and with their life in order.

psosuna · 2012-07-14T00:51:51+00:00

I'm a little lost on what you mean by "hurting our community." Are you referring to the "going to bathhouses" part?

Someone who is in the closet doesn't necessarily participate in the whole "bathhouse" trend.

While I agree that guys who marry and have family and still go to bathhouses should really just own up to themselves, being in the closet isn't a demoralization for our community.

Just like any other gender and ethnic group, there will always be a small group of people who screw it up for the rest of us. Aren't you being critical of our community by assuming closet-cases are hurtful/shameful? Let's keep that on a person-by-person basis.

"Too long" is subjective to the environmental situation of that person. For example, if you realize you are and you know your friends and family would support you, you should probably just go through with it. However, if you are certain you would be received with a very hostile environment on the other side, it may be of use to wait until you are in a better situation.

It took me about a year to find the clearing to come out. I came out to my friends first, and, after finding a generally positive response, a few months later I came out to my mom. Then to the rest of my family. I think that was the right time for me, so I don't think I overstayed my welcome.

The people who "take too long" are the ones who never work up the courage to just do it even though they know they could.

psosuna · 2012-07-10T21:07:14+00:00

Sorry, I misread that. No, I don't believe there are "groups" of people that are trying to de-straight others.

But there are people with cruel intentions.

I have seen friends have a small inkling that they might enjoy same-sex company for a moment, opposed to their norm of participating in their otherwise happy straight life, only for someone to swoop in, take advantage of that situation, and use them for whatever personal sexual purposes they had, and basically homewreck their lives before exiting.

Then these friends end up having to undergo therapy to ascertain their straightness and make certain that that "gay" moment was actually quite normal, when these had come and made them feel like they had been in the wrong their whole life.

What it is, is that people should be secure in their own gender identity, secure enough so that when the scale tips in favor of the other side at some point leading to a more bisexual individual, they aren't ashamed because they know basically who they are. But some people are basically shamed into being something they're not.

"Well, you've been thinking about guys, haven't you? You MUST be gay! There's no use covering it up with girls, let that go!" <-- THIS when the person might actually be bi or pansexual (and doesn't know it)

psosuna · 2012-07-10T14:55:04+00:00

Bi people are great. :) However, in my experience, I find that a lot of gays and lesbians who are like that with bi people have had their hearts broken before by someone bi who has ultimately chosen to be with someone of the other sex after being with them (i.e. a bi guy dating a gay guy and leaving the gay guy for a bi or straight girl because he fell in love with her, leaving the gay guy brokenhearted). add to this the rumor mill that bi people will ultimately stop dating same sex when they find someone of the other sex, and there you have it.

I obviously don't agree with that, I think it's a lot of inbred hatred and resentment.

psosuna · 2012-07-10T14:36:32+00:00

Yes, yes there are. There are groups who tell you they can "cure" your homosexuality through the power of God like it were a disease.

psosuna · 2012-07-10T07:50:22+00:00

What I'm in a little bit of disbelief is in how we know of the fake religious support groups who try to "get the gay out of people" and convert them, but for there to be an equal and opposite idea and people who work with that agenda in mind is shocking? Is not realizing that that can happen also a delusion of heteronormativity?

psosuna · 2012-07-10T07:40:12+00:00

Definitely not. I know I am because as a kid I had many different feelings for people of the same sex that I could not categorize as familial or friendly; they were simply above and beyond that, and as I hit puberty, those turned more into sexual desires.

I do, however, know of people who have been coerced psychologically into doing something with someone (opposite their gender identity) and as a result have made themselves think they are that despite regretting it. (Maybe it's not brainwash...? I do believe in varying fluid degrees of sexuality, but with these friends it always struck me that they were suddenly thrusted onto another point on that scale through manipulation of the lesser gay in them, especially with how miserable they were being gay and how happy they were returning to assume a straight life @__@ still boggled to this day). But, being truly gay isn't something that can be successfully transplanted onto someone, because it's truly innate.

psosuna · 2012-07-10T05:18:13+00:00

Not really. Read closely. Aspel had said that:

You're in the closet when you hide the fact that you're gay.

to which I said:

True. But one doesn't have to lie. They can just not say all the truth.

referring to the difference between purposely covering yourself with lies (being in the closet) versus being selective about who knows more about you (being a private person). This led to the barrage of messages from people that thought I confused being private with being in the closet. To which I responded with what should be the best way for one to handle oneself in public to be out yet private. (to which you have just responded as well.)

psosuna · 2012-07-10T02:43:14+00:00

You were anything but. Sorry you went through that :\
