    Disclaimer: I don't know if this actually happens. Wouldn't surprise me though.

  • I think it varies from person to person, so yeah, more of a spectrum. I'm not ace myself and don't follow the community that closely so I'm not sure the exact definitions.

  • As I understand it, some ace people find sex gross and obviously want to avoid anything relating to it it, but some are neutral towards it. If they are with a partner that likes sex, then they may enjoy having sex because it makes their partner happy. Or maybe they find the physical sensations enjoyable, but not looking at porn/people. Or maybe they just want to do it for good prostate health.

    They are not contradictory because "I don't like sex" (which I didn't actually say) doesn't necessarily imply "I dislike the idea of sex".

  • I never really understood why people misunderstand or denounce the experience of ace people...

    Ignoring some nuance, it feels like it's simply "feels no or reduced sexual attraction". That sounds pretty clear to me; that feeling you get when you look at a pretty lady? They don't experience that.

    Yet there's always statements like "but they have sex!", "But they like being tied up!" and "They're in a relationship!". People gotta overcomplicate things or look for reasons to discredit them, I guess?

  • ‘SIGNS OF INFLUENCE’ [OC]

    Jump

  • Honestly, trying to make a career out of Youtube/Twitch just seems miserable... Better to work for a place that actually gives you employee rights and job security.

    Perhaps better to keep it as a hobby if they enjoy doing it. Means there's less pressure.

  • How many docker containers are you running on your server?

    Jump

  • None, I use Nix instead. :P

  • Final TF2 comic released after 7 years!

    Jump

  • Just read this, it was really good at wrapping up the story and all the characters.

    ... Feels strange knowing it's all over, though.

  • Try to remember that people are more interesting than your phone

    Jump

  • Darn kids and their mobile telephones!

    That aside, uh, people are still people on the other end of the phone. They aren't like, unloaded when you get too far away from them.

  • Raising a flag

    Jump

  • Maybe! I don't know if "gendered violence against men" also has the same connotations.

    Maybe this is indeed is a case of those people poisoning the term.

  • Raising a flag

    Jump

  • "Gendered violence against females" on the other hand sounds a bit too clinical though... Like you're removing their personhood

  • If that train stops suddenly, they're a gonner.

  • Thank you! Could this be permanent? People can use an AskLemmyPolitics community if they really need to.

  • What's the longest you've ever had to wait in line to vote? Where in the world?

    Jump

  • Scotland. I forget which vote it was for (either the independence referendum, brexit, elections, etc.) but maybe 5-10 mins. Other than that one it's been mostly a ghost town.

    ... Huh, we've been to the polls a lot recently, haven't we?

  • A lot of these machine learning models have been trained on art without their consent.

    The entire AI art industry is basically rich megacorps exploiting small artists (who usually don't make much income) to fuel their ever growing profit machines.

  • What's Preferred web browser for phone?

    Jump

  • Fennec (the f-droid version of Firefox) on android. It's not been updated in a while though, which is concerning...

  • If dolphins were discovered to be able to understand democracy and you were tasked to train/teach dolphins how it works, what method of voting would you designate for them?

    Jump

  • Why should we meddle in the affairs of dolphins? By suggesting or mandating a particular style of democracy, are we not undermining their right to self governance?

    If we were asked for advice on how best to do it (since it should be plain to see that we know what not to do), I'd maybe propose the AMS system we use here. There's a stv system for one local representitive, then there is a list vote to fill up the rest of the seats in a proportional way.

  • When people vote third party do they ever get tired of the crowds of people cheering and the thunderous applause they receive after leaving the voting booth?

    Jump

  • I'm not up to date with American politics. Do you pre-drink before third party or is the second party enough to give you a buzz?
