Needs a button to re-say the word on screen. Also maybe an option to enter in a word and have it read it back, though that might be out of scope, who knows.

I immediately got the word "Ad," so you're doing pretty well. A bit later I got Hwhup, pronounced exactly like it's spelled. As in you say each letter, "Aitch double you aitch you pee." I like it.

Hey, does anyone know if the TIF server is still running? Alternatively, does anyone know of a decent public server that a friend and I could hang out on for a few hours on a weekend? She just bought PC minecraft, so I suggested we play together some this weekend.

Reading through my liked posts is like a best-of for my time on this forum.

Just, like... dry soup mix? Just reach in a grody hand and pull out a fistful of dry powder? Feel it slither between the too large cracks in your hands, run along your cracked, rough knuckles? Getting caught on the little calluses you didn't know about as you raise it to your lips and just drop a bare handful into your gaping mouth like its going to give you some sort of quench? Allaying your hunger but not your thirst as little motes of dried tortilla are picked up by miniscule air currents and tiny shavings of herbs bounce down the sides of your face where your guzzle hole didn't catch them? You realize that shit's not cereal, right? Or maybe it is like cereal, in that you're supposed to put liquid in it before you eat it!

Except, ya know, the funny thing is that the comments sections are Real People who really think these things, and just ignoring them doesn't make them stop having those thoughts. If anything, it makes them more prevalent, just because circle jerks have a nasty habit of reinforcing terrible beliefs.

Human Computer Interaction. Building GUIs, but with psychology.

This class has made up terms that are very similar in meaning and you get points docked for not correctly differentiating between them. Affordance: An object that implies you can act on it. Signifier: A sign that you can act on an object. Which means a link is an affordance, but the line under it is a signifier. Which is kind of obvious in that example, but with [bleep]ing door handles or whatever, it's bullshit.

You're promoted from fatal to genocidal. Your new job is to be threatening but never used in war.

I got a post removed, but for some reason didn't get a warning point about it. THIS MAKES ME SO SAD, AT LEAST GIVE ME THE E-CRED, MODS! Alg knows what's [bleep]ing up Shit man, what the crap is up with your crazy ass?

I don't even know who that is. Notch.

Wasn't there an outside with Bugs Bunny and Marvin Martian where they were both in space?

Quick, somebody revive the "How many warning points do you have" thread so we can alternatively wave our dicks about how angelic we are and about how absolutely internet naughty we are!

Wait, isn't that country in Asia? I thought he lived in the middle east.

At the very least, you can :arrow: it instead.

I don't believe in love of first sight, and I don't generally talk about I want to bang attractive celebrities - I distance myself from that culture by my actions, not a label. I don't consider myself to be anywhere on the ace spectrum.Okay? That's fine, you don't have to. Some people just find it more comfortable to do so.

It's not an inconsistent definition though.Asexual: no sexual attraction to anyone of any gender. May have sex in order to please a partner, though that's generally the only reason. Demisexual: Sexually attracted only to a few individuals they have gotten to know very closely, such as a significant other or perhaps a very close friend. No sexual attraction to strangers/acquaintances. May have sex with those people they have formed that close emotional bond with. Gray-Asexual: feels mostly no sexual attraction. May occasionally feel sexual attraction both to people they're close to and some strangers. May or may not act on those attractions. These are all separate things on the ace spectrum. You might think the last two are kind of inconsistent, but remember that we live in a world where love at first sight is a thing, where talk about attractive celebrities or people inevitably falls to "I'd bang them," especially about women. The last two are just ways to distance yourself from that culture, because it feels ubiquitous. If they're inconsistent-which I don't think they are- it's because human psychology is inconsistent.

I would say you're not asexual, then. It's a label, it's a question of whether you feel it fits you, not whether you fit some arbitrary metric.

Do they not feel a need? Or are they just scared to? Would they reject someone else who tried to start something with them? Would asexual people reject close friendship? Because a romantic relationship is essentially a close friendship with a sexual element. What is interest in sexual or romantic relationships? Romantic relationships are either sexual relationships, or emotional relationships with a sexual element. As we've already established, some asexuals do have sexual urges. Presumably asexuals have urges for personal relationships as well, even if they aren't sexual. I have no idea what asexual people think, I'm not asexual. But the definitions I've seen so far strike me as somewhat logically inconsistent. The FAQ seems kind of self-defeating: since sexuality is so fluid, why bother with a label at all? As for the confusion: I don't think so. Celibacy is when someone has desire but chooses not to act on it. What I'm wondering is whether there are people who ended up in relationships, later to realize they didn't have any desire for sexual or romantic attraction...not necessarily people who made a conscious choice to control their impulses. I apologize if I'm coming across as overly combative. I'm just trying to understand something that I have difficulty making sense of.... Alright, here's the first thing you have to understand. Romantic relationship =/= close friendship + sex. This is a thought that I have never understood from allosexual people. There is so much more to a romantic relationship than sex and friendship. Friends with benefits are a thing, right? Those are sexual relationships, plus friendship, but without romance, and from what I understand of them (very little), these relationships actually fall to shit if either party starts developing romantic feelings for the other. Even without considering FWB, if you imagine a romantic relationship, there's no way it's solely defined by sex. Romantic relationships are also cuddling and kissing and emotional connection, and even shit like dates and arguments and all that stuff that you get sometimes in close platonic relationships, but not at the same level or the same concentration as a romantic relationship. If that's not how you feel about romantic relationships, if the only way for you to know if you love someone is if they make your dick hard, then I can't really explain asexuality to you, because that's very fundamental and very important. Sexuality isn't a logical thing. It's an emotional thing. Because it helps make your feelings more normal when you have a name for it. It lets you know that other people feel the same way as you, instead of everyone being heterosexual heteromantic. Getting consent for sex requires effort, right? If you want to have sex with someone, you have to put in work to do so. I would say that rather than it being "It hasn't happened, I must not want it," it's "I haven't put in the work to have a sexual work because at some level I don't want it." And yes, there are people who have been in sexual relationships who come out of them and become asexual. Sexuality is fluid, especially when it comes to asexuality, because it's all about desire, and your level of desire can change. Yeah, kind of. Imagine that feeling right after sex when your sex drive has been depleted, but that's your sex drive all the time. Do you feel the WANT to have sex with women? Just in a general sense, not in a specific way. I don't. That's asexuality. How about men? Do you WANT to have sex with them? If not, then take the way you feel about sex with men, and apply it to sex with women. That's asexuality. No, you're doing an awesome job, and I really appreciate it.

For the same reason straight people don't need to try gay sex to prove they're not bi/pan. It doesn't work like that. No one has to "prove" their sexuality, especially when they're using that sexuality to be comfortable. I was going to head this question off in one of my posts, but I decided not to because I figured it would be overly aggressive. Honestly though, this is a really shitty thing to say to someone. It sounds like you're saying "I don't believe you're ace (or gay, bi, pan, whatever), prove it." Which is awful, because there's already a lot of questioning that goes into realizing you're not straight. I'm not trying to make you feel bad about this, I just want you to realize that it's rude, so you don't say it to someone else without knowing. That's exactly what I was wondering. I think you'll find that just like non-ace people think about and watch a wide variety of things while they masturbate, so do asexuals. I don't really have a better answer than that, I'm not much into the habit of asking about other people's masturbation habits, because that's gross as [bleep].

No. Nor have I had any real romantic relationships. You might want to read the FAQ yourself. But, no, asexual doesn't mean no masturbation inherently. Masturbation is different from sex, I think that's something you'd agree with. So whether you do so or not makes no difference in whether you're ace or not. Ace people might not masturbate, or they might just do so less than most people, or they might do it all the time. Ace is no desire for sex with any other person, no matter their gender.

Hey, something I can help with maybe! I'm definitely asexual, so I might have a inkling of what you're going through. I do feel the same way in regards to needing a label, going through high school without one was a struggle. Everything I'm posting from here on out is under the assumption that you think you're asexual spectrum, rather than some other part of the LGBTQIA+ community, because I only know about the A. First things first, check out AVEN. You might have already found them, but I'm recommending it anyway because it can help you decide whether you're ace (asexual) or not. The FAQ is here, and is probably the best place to start. Secondly, I'm going to go through aromantic, which is the same as asexual, but with romantic, rather than sexual, relationships. These are separate things, essentially - you can be both asexual and biromantic (no sex, romantic relationships with either gender), or aromantic and homosexual, or whatever combination works out. Just to clarify, this isn't "I haven't been in a romantic relationship," or even "I don't want to be in a romantic relationship," this is "I don't feel romantic attraction to anyone." Though, if the second definition is your thing and you need to explain that to someone, it's usually easier to just say aromantic, I can tell you from personal experience. Those are just labels, since you said that was important to you. I strongly feel there's value in these labels, but in the end, they are just labels, and generalizing these experiences to be applicable to every person is extremely difficult, so keep that in mind. If you can't find a label that you feel fits you perfectly, then you might have to either not have one people recognize, or have one that's close but not perfect. It's tough in that regard. As for "coming out," well... here's how I did it, and am doing it, and that's the best I can explain. The first time I came out as ace, I was at a party with some close friends, and for whatever reason, we got into a conversation where everyone who was there was asked what body part they were most attracted to (ass, pecs, clavicle). When it came to my turn, I was basically like, "I'm asexual, I don't have sexual attraction, I'm not attracted to people's bodies." In other words, I took an opportunity where being ace made a difference, and I used that to explain how I felt and what it meant. That's the easiest way, I think, as long as you're willing to field some conversation/questions about it. But, honestly, I think any experience coming out is going to come with questions asked, and it at least makes sense for ace, because it's a strange concept to most people. I have not come out to my parents. I don't think I'm going to, because, quite frankly, it shouldn't really matter to them. They're not getting involved in my sexual life, thanks very much, and there's no situation they would without it being rude. What I have started doing, however, is to rebuke them when they complain about me not having a girlfriend. Into those conversations, and into everyday conversations too when appropriate, I'll drop small hints that I'm not interested in being in a relationship with anyone, of any gender. I don't know if this is the best approach, but I think it's the simplest way, especially for my homophobic father, because then he doesn't have to deal with his fear of having a son that's not straight (even if he's not gay either). Honestly though, I think the best way to come out, no matter your sexuality, is to do so in the smallest, most casual way possible. Present your sexuality like the people you're talking to already know it. Unless you know the people you're coming out to are going to accept you and feel happy for you, it's much better to come out in a way that presents it as completely normal and unquestionable, because it is. If you pretend like they already know, then they have to admit that they didn't and that it matters to them. I guess, then, that the hope is that it isn't negative in their mind, and that they don't care so much to go through the social embarrassment of being ignorant. That's my thoughts on coming out, and kind of what has guided me in the situations where I felt the need to do so. Eh, as an ace person, there's no real reason to have the label other than just for the sake of it. Honestly, I don't need a label to describe myself to other people. All my really close friends know I'm asexual and know what that means in the context of me, but it's not like asexual is something you can judge someone for. For other people, it really only matters if you're actively in a relationship with that other person, and you need to come to some middle ground of sexuality. Where it matters, at least for me, is in my self-identification. Like, having a label (both ace and aromantic) has really helped me come to terms with feelings I've had for a long time. I don't think I ever would have found that comfort without deciding that I was going to be asexual, if that makes sense. I took the label both because it fit me, and just for the sake of having a label, and as a result I feel less strange about who I am in regards to relationships. It looks like something a duck would draw with its tongue. *sigh* no one set me up for this joke, but in case anyone was wondering, it was a "Fowl Lick."
