@LessPop_MoreFizz Alright. Just figured I would point it out.

Fluttershy

@Yuki What about something like, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," vs. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"?

user15026

@Fluttershy The first one to me is more of a sigh, the second one a scared scream

Yuki

@Fluttershy Sounds like someone panting rather than screaming.

FAE

@Fluttershy I hear the former as something like "Ah, I see" type of thing whereas the latter is a scream

@Wipqozn No, I'll still be here.

FAE

@Yuki An ex of mine did this with Pirates of the Caribbean only he just played it in a small version on his work monitor. He saw it 12+ times in theatres, then he binged like you did with it playing 24/7.

I got so sick of hearing him talk about it that I didn't see the movie for years.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM The only acceptable song about building a snowman.

MBraedley

@DavidM do you want to build a snowman?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MBraedley @DavidM We could make him tall...

David M

@MBraedley That song made me want to disembowel a snowman. (I was going to say something much creepier and graphic, but I promised @AshleyNunn I'd stop doing that.)

Yuki

@DavidM Do you wanna build a Sandman? (WARNING: Spider-Man 3 clip)

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:14 AM

@DavidM In fairness, you have professional training in disemboweling mans.

David M

@Yuki That seems like an appropriate warning. Friends don't let friends watch Spider-Man 3 unknowingly.

FAE

@Yuki I'm mostly trying to uh, let it go, as one may say. It's hard for me to go into a movie objectively once I hear people talk it up too much, then I worry about getting disappointed.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Most of my training has focused on avoiding it, but yes, I understands it.

Yuki

@DavidM Question is, do you know how to sprain someone?

David M

@Yuki Sure. Just yank on the joint really hard in the wrong direction without actually tearing it apart.

Yuki

12:18 AM

@DavidM Like this?

SimonL

@Yuki The music in that clip is really well done.

David M

@Yuki Yes. That is an effective method. And, also pretty bad-ass for Dr. Watson!

FAE

@DavidM Even more badass is his line before that moment.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE I rewatched it recently. It holds up.

David M

@Yuki I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Yuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've got it on DVD, I should do that.

David M

Oh yeeeeah. I liked that a lot!

LessPop_MoreFizz

> Michael Sam Sr. told The New York Times that he received the news last Tuesday when his son wrote in a text: "Dad, I'm gay." Sam's father took the news hard. He said he was eating at a Denny's restaurant but had to leave after receiving the text. "I couldn't eat no more, so I went to Applebee's to have drinks,"

Yuki

> I think my favorite line was "just used to a higher class of criminal."
A guy holds a knife on him and John is like "please… come at me."
Like seriously… put in bonfire, kidnapped by Chinese terrorists, and had a bomb strapped to him. John is like "fuck your knife."

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:22 AM

I'm not sure whether I want to laugh my ass off at a dude being so angry that his son is gay that he left Dennys to go to Applebees to drink, or whether to just be saddened by the utter pathos that that narrative implies.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Denny's to Applebee's is frying pan into the fire!

@LessPop_MoreFizz To be honest, I don't think that you can fault someone for being upset at receiving that news. It doesn't make their underlying attitude right, but they can't help the prejudices they were raised with. It's more important what they do next, not their initial flinch based upon a lifetime of poor role-models, etc.

Yuki

Sigh. Can't even view the transcript before someone approves the flag.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Yeah, I can't fault him too much for reacting negatively to the shock; and arguably a text like that is an especially bad way to break the news, but...

Deciding to leave Dennys to go to Applebees and drink away your sorrows is just so... banal.

user15026

@DavidM When I first came out to my parents, there was much uncomfortableness. Not anything like some stories I have heard, but as my dad put it "We just had to recreate our ideas about who you were. Not your fault, it's ours, but it is just a change."

user15026

They were and are awesome about things now.

Yuki

12:26 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Especially when you find out that your son told his teammates in August of last year, he just told you last week. Through a text.

user15026

(I mean I am not dating said person at the time, and am currently dating a male human person, but still.)

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think the best you can say is that hopefully by the next generation this type of ignorance will have dissolved in the mainstream.

@AshleyNunn You have awesome parents. And, they are likely open-minded people.

Yuki

I thought that, for a situation like, you'd tell your family first and then everyone else.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Yeah, like I said, I find the story less interesting for 'Dad is angry that his son came out!' because that's a story I've heard a thousand times, and more for the combination of sadness and hilarity of leaving Dennys to go to Applebees.

ToxicFrog

@AshleyNunn I wish symbol's were that cool about it.

Yuki

12:27 AM

"'I'm closer to my friends than I am to my family,' Sam told the newspaper."

Ah, never mind.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes. I would have had more respect if he said, I left McDonald's and hit up 7-11 for a 6 pack.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Yeah.

Leaving Dennys for Applebees is just... the darkest of dark.

user15026

@DavidM I do. I am a lucky me. It took them time, and we redid some of htat awkwardsauce when I was like "yo I like dudes too" but its pretty chill.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn I don't think my parents believed me when I told them. :\

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I like Applebee's. Never been to a Denny's.

user15026

12:28 AM

@Fluttershy It helped, I think that I could be like "I am dating this particular human girl person".

David M

@AshleyNunn Sexuality is a continuum. As a friend of mine said: "Do you wake up every morning and think to yourself, 'Dude, penis, no!'" You just like what you like.

user15026

@DavidM Yep. Like my tumblr says - "loves a lot of people, has a lot of feels, lacks a lot of filters"

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM But what if I do wake up every morning and think to myself 'Dude, penis, no!'?

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Then you have deeper issues that can't be resolved in this venue. I suggest you drink heavily.

FAE

12:30 AM

@Yuki Sometimes it's way easier to tell close friends because you know they can't like... kick you out.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE @Yuki this this this.

The problem that a lot of people have coming out to parents is that parents have an enormous amount of power in and over your life, in a way that friends do not.

FAE

You can work on building up a support network that's outside of your family because if things go wrong with family, they can devastate your life if you're still dependent on them.

Yuki

Well, that image is larger than I expected.

ToxicFrog

I was lucky, my mom took it very much in stride when I came out as poly (and when she found out my wife was bi). It took me a long time before I realized having parents that awesome is not the norm.

Wipqozn

This conversation is making me grateful for my parents and family and the fact they have but no fucks to give to the fact that my sister is gay.

She actually got married a little over a year ago now.

ToxicFrog

12:33 AM

@Wipqozn Awesome.

user15026

@Yuki Family is often harder because hte repercussions of them disagreeing are much miore of the "safety and security" vareity

My uncle was gay (he's deceased now - HIV related). And, my grandparents always "knew he was different" but always blamed it on him being hit by a car as a child.

user15026

My family has people all over spectrums of things. They are pretty chill.

FAE

12:35 AM

@ToxicFrog Yeah, my parents are fine with the fact I'm bisexual and poly, even though they don't entirely understand it. They accept it, which I'm very grateful for, even if I still have to keep having the conversation "Yes, I'm just dating guys right now but that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to women" "Yes, boyfriend 1 knows about and is even friends with boyfriend 2, it's all good" more often than is preferable. But they're not disowning me or something, so I'm thankful I'm that lucky.

@ToxicFrog I don't know enough about you. Are you a poly man or woman who is married to a bisexual woman?

ToxicFrog

12:36 AM

@AshleyNunn Enjoy. :hugs:

Wipqozn

Okay, someones gay, and you dislike that for some reason. Who the fuck cares? Does two guys (or two girls) being romantically involved impact you in any way?

No, it doesn't.

MBraedley

Wow, that was weird. I couldn't see the star image.

ToxicFrog

@DavidM Poly man married to a bisexual poly woman.

David M

@FAE I think the poly thing is fine as long as everyone involved is OK with it. I think it's when people are sneaking behind their other lover's backs it's a bit dicey ethically. But, not for me to judge.

FAE

@DavidM Well, that's not poly, that's cheating, so that's a whole different thing, yeah.

David M

12:39 AM

@ToxicFrog Thanks. Context helps.

@FAE Agreed, but people incorrectly use labels to help justify their bad behavior.

OrigamiRobot

I used to be against homosexuality. Not for any real reason, it was just a product of the environment I grew up in and wanting to fit in. I just thought it was how I was supposed to feel. Not sure exactly when that changed...

Yuki

Apparently, someone's done the Sherlock theme in the style of cheap porn music.

David M

@OrigamiRobot You got older, and you started to form your own opinions instead of parroting those of your peer group/family. It's a natural thing that happens. It's why people get more political in college, etc.

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot you've been to college, right? A lot of people start to question their belief systems in college/university

OrigamiRobot

@DavidM That's the thing. I wasn't parroting anyone really.

@MBraedley It was sometime in high school I think.

Yuki

12:43 AM

It's a weird case for me. When I end up in a discussion about homosexuality and gay rights and whatnot, I feel slightly uncomfortable. But I'm honestly not bothered at all when I see homosexuality in everyday life (I often pass by a gay couple on my morning bike rides).

ToxicFrog

@FAE Yeah, I've had a few of those conversations - first thing my mom asked after we came out was "wait, why did you get married to symbol if you aren't committed to her?"

FAE

@DavidM Well, there are also people who have different setups where they allow their SOs to do stuff and they don't want to know about it. Here, have a chart! (NSFW). But there are definitely people out there who do that.

ToxicFrog

And then we had to have the (commitment != exclusivity) talk

David M

@OrigamiRobot Product of the environment is a fancier way of saying that.

MBraedley

12:44 AM

@FAE wow, that's... complicated

David M

@FAE That's different. That's "Go do what you wish with my blessing. Don't tell me about it, and don't rub my nose in it."

OrigamiRobot

@DavidM I just mean there wasn't anyone who was actively telling me any of this or even setting an example for me to follow.

David M

@OrigamiRobot It's subtle. Unless you grew up in a particularly bigoted environment it's rarely overt.

FAE

@MBraedley Aye. Non-monogamy's a large spectrum of styles and relationships structures.

Yuki

I think that it might be that whenever I'm in a discussion about homosexuality, I place myself in that situation and there's a bit of mental disconnect there because I'm not.

user20683

12:46 AM

@FAE Where is poly-andry on that chart?

FAE

@Yuki So you try to empathize what it's like to be gay but you can't, and then you just end up not being able to and feel weird?

user20683

just curious as it is a thing

Yuki

@FAE Pretty much.

ToxicFrog

@WorldEngineer polyandry and polygyny are just gender-specialized versions of polyamory

David M

I was getting a lot of shit (from friends) one day because I'm friends with a lot of attractive women. And, I said, "Listen, you will be more likely to be friends with people you find attractive because you will be likely to try to have a conversation with them."

ToxicFrog

12:47 AM

The chart doesn't classify relationship types differently if the only thing different between them is the genders involved

user20683

@ToxicFrog it says on the chart "social/religious polygamy"

user20683

there is no listing for poly andry

user20683

ergo this chart is imcomplete

user20683

and should be listed as such

ToxicFrog

polygamy is gender-nonspecific; it's just "multiple marriage"

OrigamiRobot

12:47 AM

@FAE Noooooooooooooooooo my braaaaaaaaaaaaaaain.

ToxicFrog

polygyny and polyandry are the gender-specific versions.

David M

That goes for my relationships with men, too. (I'm straight) You tend to be friends with people who hold some sort of attraction for you, even if it's only on a friendship level, etc. Hence my statement about sexuality is a continuum.

Yuki

@WorldEngineer "andr-" is a prefix for "male", just as "gyn-" is a prefix for "female". I think people get muddled because nobody says "gynoid" when they refer to female robots.

FAE

@ToxicFrog This, pretty much.

ToxicFrog

(that said, at least in north america, the vast majority of religious polygamy is polygyny, so the terms get conflated a lot)

FAE

12:50 AM

@WorldEngineer The chart isn't intended to be complete, as that would be an impossibility, it's merely to help give an idea of the types of variations that can occur in non-monogamy.

Risk of Rain is currently 40% off on Steam. It has my glowing recommendation.

FAE

@Yuki Also, belatedly, you don't necessarily need to try to empathize with being gay specifically, but empathy for the general human condition and what it can be like to struggle with people judging you for things you can't change is not misplaced. Maybe try to look at it that way?

Yuki

@FAE Sure, but I think I try to empathize instinctually.

@FAE Actually, Maron's interview with Dan Savage was pretty good and is a decent introduction to his style and is also going to stop being free soon.

@AshleyNunn I kind of have difficulty parsing stuff when it's not visual, so it's sometimes hard for me to keep track of things like talk radio or podcasts and the like where I can't read subtitles.

@LessPop_MoreFizz What? Why? I don't even.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Because journalists are fucking lazy and also because journalists are fucking dumb and also because journalism is a fucking cesspool and also because THIS IS WHAT HAS BECOME OF OUR CULTURE IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN GOD HELP US.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Specifically, the people buying phone with flappy bird installed for thousands of dollars.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I was originally a journalism major. :( Then I dropped out because I felt that real journalism was dead.

I just like that they are realizing that touch is MONDO IMPORTANT SAUCE

Ktash

[Unrelated] @spugsley I really like the snow picture! :)

A little disappointed that the bridge is not made of ice, and does not lead to a giant castle of ice though... just sayin'

Fluttershy

Is... is that another Frozen reference?

FAE

@AshleyNunn Yeah, it's weird how people don't think about how important touch is. People who aren't disabled when asked often name "sight" or "hearing" when asked what sense they wouldn't want to live without, but people rarely say touch. Like... people can live fulfilling and healthy lives without taste, smell, sight, and hearing, but babies who are born without a sense of touch often just die. :/
