WTF are americans eating to make pooping so hard?

Once more, I agree to disagree

Yeah, I see this reading as well, but I stand by my point. The baddie could have been the Kraken, a Beholder, a Lich. Still, the comical situation relies on the fact that it’s an orc stud.

It’s because I don’t sense malice that I’m not mad. I’m just pointing the facts.

To me, the parents’ reaction confirms the homophobic bias, especially the father’s reaction. They could just have said something comical like “finally, he’s bringing somebody home”, “finally, he’s out of the closet”, “I’m so happy he’s happy” etc, and embrace the comically gay situation, allowing the people laughing about the gay situation to laugh, and the gay audience to witness a “happy ending” that doesn’t degrade the comical nature of it all. The big bad enemy could also have been a Beholder or a Lich, etc. But no. It’s an orc stud, because the fact that it’s an orc stud is the point.

Same answer : I agree to disagree, and to each one their opinion.

I agree to disagree, but to each one their opinion.

Genuinely funny, but also genuinely homophobic [confused gay laugh]

More seriously, though: If it’s only funny because it features two persons of the same sex, it’s homophobic.

Imagine the shtick with a man and a woman : it’s not as fun or not even fun? Yeah, that’s because the whole point is the fact that it’s happening between two males. Homophobia IS the point, and it’s not because the comic features diverse people that it’s not making an homophobic point.

Whoever the author is, they’re forgiven because it was funny, but I encourage them to question their work.

I feel uneasy about Signal being an app centralized in the USA, but it is the only one streamlined enough to be usable by non tech-savvy friends and family. I wonder if it will fall prey to Chat Control in Europe, so the time to explore alternatives will soon be upon us.

So far, I have heard of XMPP, Matrix, Delta chat and SimpleX. Never got friends to switch to XMPP or Matrix for more than one conversation, so I guess we’re just f*cked.

That’s an immediate “FUCK NO”. I mean, I’m sure it can be beneficial for speech-impaired people, but we all know it’s gonna be used for mass surveillance. It’s even worse than the Zuck perv’ glasses. 100% Black Mirror episode.

The science we love.

100% supporting OP.
