@Ginger This isn't too surprising. You're American, where people are more likely to realize they're bi/pan and be open about it because there's less fear of persecution. You're also young and know young people, who are more likely to realize they're bi/pan than old people who haven't considered it for most of their lives and are unlikely to come out of the closet now
like our social circles probably do have higher than average rates of actual bisexuality but probably not that dramatically because the statistics are going to be based on what all kinds of people both think about themselves and are willing to admit to people
There are a few legitimate reasons you'd be married at 18, such as college financial aid
Being married automatically makes you an independent for financial aid purposes, so if you have rich parents who refuse to pay for your college it can be a way to get around that
Not sure if anyone's actually done it but it can't be too difficult
Just find another person in a similar situation, sign some papers, boom
Worth noting the current understanding is that sexual orientation is a spectrum not a dichotomy/trichotomy/n-chotomy, so I think the same person could be bi by one standard and straight/gay by another
@user There's different contexts for "willing" too. You could willingly date someone of your same sex then realize you don't actually like it and are straight. Or you could date and marry your partner in crime so he doesn't have to testify about the murder
@RydwolfPrograms But my main point with this is that someone could be perfectly sure they're straight for their whole lives ("minus that one exception but that's normal right?") whereas around the right people they'd realize the bi label actually fits them better

Pearson...you might want to clarify what you meant by that lol
But when I came back my roommate had friends over so I had to like step across them and grab my clothes and go shower and then come back and stuff my old clothes into my laundry bag and run out of there even though I'd meant to do the laundry because my bag of old clothes is starting to smell and I forgot to take my water bottle and mask but at least there's no one here to see my face get viruses from/pass viruses to and there's water fountains so I guess I'm good
@lyxal tbf I only went because my parents have been bugging me for weeks and I figured since I'm ugly, flabby, and somewhat rude, I might as well fix one of those things :P
All I did was walk on the treadmill since the weight room was full of buff people so I'm not leaving y'all losers anytime soon :P
Well we're approaching one year of The Sand Trap's existence, and I think it's been a successful experiment
It averages 112 messages per day, and pretty consistently has around 5-7 users in it, which nowadays isn't too far behind TNB itself
TNB's definitely been more on-topic, and TST has neither devolved into absolute chaos. Moving between the rooms is rarely necessary.
And of course because I cannot shut my mouth I have more messages here than anyone else, 37% more than second place (Ginger) and close to 25% of the room's total messages
@RydwolfPrograms it never fails to amaze me that you have almost three thousand more messages than I do, although frankly I was also amazed when I learned I was in second place :p
the quantity isn't really what's surprising as much as the gap between our respective message counts
Unfortunate that the last time we tried migrating you to another server it went to catastrophically
So your choices are basically: 1. Stick with the current setup, 1 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM 2. Move to a VM on rtowolf, 2-4 slower vCPUs and 32 GB of slower RAM
2 would be much much better stats wise but the reliability wouldn't be as good
And it would require moving everything over which might be difficult to do properly
