  • Nowadays hetero has been redefined to better reflect gender diversity. Homo is same gender, hetero is different genders, even if the gender are not man and woman. This includes non-binary people in the definition, as long as they are not the same gender, is not homosexual. And to be honest, it ties better to the word, etymologically.

    Also bisexual now means homo and hetero, not men and women. I’m still confused about pansexuality in this definitions. I also might have got something wrong in this explanation as I’m a cis straight dude, who listens to other people saying this things.


  • I was about to say the same, most management is still gen x, even boomers (fucking retire please). Some low level managers are millennials, but these are not the people calling the shots. As usual, money hoarders make decisions, and you can accuse us millennials of a lot of things but having any money on us.

    You might want to look, as usual, to indie millennial game devs. There you will see how we call the shots. We are nowhere that good as gen x indies, but we have our thing.







  • I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but are you stupid? A protest made in a place where nobody can see it is pointless. You do it to be seen by everyone else. That’s why, making everyone else life and routine harder with your protest is the most effective way of being noticed. Sure, nobody wants a traffic jam because there are people protesting school shootings and the lack of gun controls, but you know what? Being a kid and getting shot sucks way more. Oh, you don’t like to be late for work? Why those pesky public transport workers are not working? Oh, you say they have slave wages? Not being able to eat or pay rent sucks way more than being late one day. You get the point, protests are made always when something sucks for someone, and the methods are way more effective when you can communicate your issue in a non ignorable way. PC protests are very ignorable.



  • This guy knows. Of course you can get those another way, but marriage is the no questions asked route for most people.

    Why do you think gay marriage is big news? Gays could always find ways around, but that’s the point, marriage is easier and you need to jump through hoops to get the same thing, it’s discriminatory and makes a difference between normal and not normal or acceptable ways of getting common ass rights and validations, absolutely useful for when you plan to spend more than a couple of years with someone.

    Also, I think you confuse marriage with weddings, those are usually the expensive and stupid ones. Ceremonies are not required to be that stupid.



  • Militaries are necessary for each community self defense, because stateless society means communities, and there is nothing in that concept preventing raider communities from existing and try to live off stealing/murdering other communities. It’s literally ancient history, before countries existed. What we call crime today is not always rooted on necessity, a post scarcity non authoritarian society doesn’t suddenly eliminates bad people trying to take advantage of others because is easier than doing your homework. Or fascists trying to impose themselves to others. Those people, they get the bullets.



  • Fun fact, the name Santiago, is basically the same as San Diego. Originally, it comes from the hebrew Jacob (ya-akov), then Sant Iago (Iago sounds similar to ya-akob, it’s the latinization of the name IIRC). I think Diego actually comes from shortening Santiago to Thiago, and then to Diego. Basically all comes from Jacob. In Spanish, the actual translation for James would be Jaime, not Diego. I don’t know what happened there or if Jaime and Diego as somehow related etymologically.
