Meme "the number of people who think this is an abomination" over a photo of a USB-A to USB-A cable, "but think this is perfectly acceptable" over a photo of a USB-C to USB-C cable, "makes me sick."

Huh, I'm not sure they are comparable.

Didn't USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the male would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Also, do we say "agent" now instead of "slave", or what is the new term?

I believe the common terms now are "domme" and "sub"

I can't tell if this is real life or sarcasm....

Did I really miss the memo on this one?

Ah yeah, I've heard that offices are rolling out a new role of office cumdump. Glad to hear from someone already in the role
