As an aro/ace I’m faced with the opposite. How can I truly know that something isn’t there. Though these days I’ve mostly accepted that I can be pretty sure after 30 years of existing. And if it turns out another wayat some point, then so be it. The label doesn’t define who I am, who I am defines the label

My favorite game is “everyone is valid apart from me”.

It’s a fictional universe where progressive means “for technological progress” and conservative means “against technological progress”. So they are just advanced techbros in this universe who are technologically progressive because the technology gives them power and money.

Honestly there are only wrong opinions and the Hive. Blessed be the hive! Merge with the future or be exterminated!

I’m aro/ace and honestly same. I refuse to use any longer acronym because to me it sounds silly.

In a similar fashion, I’m also not a major fan of the pride flags with more than the rainbow. It’s fine for special occasions in order to draw attention to a cause that needs it, but not as the default. Adding black stripes, the trans flag, and intersex flag all at the same time seems ridiculous to me, and it only invites other groups to feel left out. Adding the black stripes, the trans flag, the intersex flag, or whatever to the flag for some event, protest, or personal reason is great but imo we shouldn’t permanently muddy the flag like that.

Yeah same. It makes the elections quite annoying because I agree with the local green party in almost every other way. But to me nuclear power is an important way to get reliable green energy. Something that still provides energy when the wind is not blowing and the sun isn’t shining. And to me some of the arguments feel way too “feeling based” instead of facts based. That its unsafe or dirty.

Preferably we’d have fusion, but until we manage to get that going I think nuclear fission is a decent alternative. Not forever, but for the coming 50-100 years until we find a better alternative.

I’ve been quite stupid with this but never really had issues. Ever since I changed the open ssh port from 22 to something else, my server is basically ignored by botnets. These days I obviously also have some other tricks like fail2ban, but it was funny how effective that was.

My thoughts are with his family. How tragic
