  • allo-sexual sounds a bit like being attracted to curious french greetings to me lolol I think that this will help me remember the concept. I feel like people attracted to those with foreign accents might even fit such a category in some cases unless I am misunderstanding the concept completely still which seems very plausible to me also since I haven’t even looked up any info on the term yet


  • thank you for teaching me what I was just wondering about for the second time, after coming to the crisp realization that all I needed was the alternative category(-ies) which could be expected to then also exist other than the asexual branch of methodology/pathology (idk if I am using words correctly here either, lolol number man no use good speak much here). I was about to venture a guess that certainly slurs were not the correct categorization, and that perhaps “sexual” was the other categorization, however I expected that that was unlikely because it also sounds strange as a noun to me


  • can’t just go and tell me I need to relearn words again!

    /s thanks for the info!! Though it makes me sort of think that anyone who isn’t asexual are essentially all “sluts” by this definition (sexually attracted to everyone around them above some personally maintained arbitrary threshold of determining attractiveness??) but I will continue to try and care both more and less about the specificities of the terms and just continue to try to take pleasure in the fact that me knowing them (or trying to have learned them at least) might provide some sense of inclusion to someone down the road [that has experienced their sexual awakening in one of the myriad of different ways possible, rather than a way in which I somehow am already familiar with which in reality seems considerably unlikely for how young/antisocial I am, or have generally been, throughout my life so far], or possibly someday help me better explain my own feelings or experiences to someone else later on, who might also know about such nuances of sexual orientation, or have had similar experiences/feelings in their life but were lacking specific words for them




  • whoever needs to use the bathroom first loses, or if you die of thirst or hunger, that could also disqualify one from such a theoretically limitless dilemma.

    Alternately, if you have a mathematical way to measure boredom, and also introduce a rule that the person to truly become bored with the game first (or more bored, measured quantitatively somehow) would actually win automatically after a draw… or the game could just be determined by some arbitrary momentary measure of chaotic systems outside the game that the players can’t see or affect, and then giving the win to one of the players based on some hidden scoring matrix of outside variables probing purely environmental or coincidental variables, to generate an arbitrary-enough-seeming-to-the-players (though not likely enough for the mathematicians) winner, in the event of a repeated draws which outnumber the lower of the two single largest numbers that each player could think of, probed proper to match before each challenge, unbeknownst to the players, that way they cannot strategize to give a dishonest answer to affect play somehow towards their advantage (by saying a lower number than the highest possible [countable-to-by-this-person] number that they had ever actually been taught to count up to)





  • even just your awareness and ability to articulate yourself,as well as the capacity for consequential reasoning and your willingness to empathize with your brother all seem like priceless artifacts of your humanity which will become more precious and respected as we all start continue recognizing and discussing the realities we have seen throughout our twisted and tumultuous lives, and we are able to gracefully “live (well enough) and let die (or let go without bitterness)” the mistakes of these past few generations and all the shit they have been cooking for themselves and others all around them, to justify how they have been making it by, through all the thick and thin that they had all been making up and giving to each other.





  • I have never seen anyone un-upvote their own post before on this platform (viewing from voyager at least), most of my comments are initiated as pre-upvoted by myself, the author.

    I’m thinking either you did undo the auto-upvote, or the other possibility is that it posted with zero votes for some reason. I might have to start also de-voting my own posts that I am not specifically enthused by or excited about, if that is what you have done here.

    (I’m still on Reddit mode where there might be some kind of running total for my profile, but I never bothered keeping track or angling for extra votes over there much either, it just cracks me up how much the little sorting algorithm metrics mean to some of us even when we might not be willing to admit or even recognize it sometimes)
