The way I (a bisexual) have always interpreted the difference is that pansexuals feel the same attraction to all genders and that bisexuals feel different attraction to different genders. I identify as bi because I definitely feel different kinds of attractions towards men, women and enby's.

7 years ago I got introduced to this really small local artist by a friend who had just a handful of songs on his YouTube channel, but they were all incredible. I could listen to music while I worked but it wasn't super practical to have my phone out for it, so I always converted songs from YouTube to mp3 and downloaded them to put on my mp3-player. I did that with this artists songs as well. A few years later, I wanted to show another friend this music, and the whole channel was deleted. Sometimes I wonder if I and the artist itself are the only people who have a recording of his songs in the world.

You're right, to some extent, but you have to ask yourself why neoliberalism took hold and gained power. The problem with social democracy, even though it's the best version of a shitty economic system, is that it's still capitalism and at some point greedy assholes are going to want more, and will start influencing politics to get what they want. That's why neoliberalism became a thing, despite the succes of social democracy/embedded liberalism for the 99%, because there still was a 1% with much more power and influence. Neoliberalism was a planned and calculated attack on social democracy decades in the making by groups like the Mont Pelerin Society and individuals like Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek. Reagan was just a public symptom of this disease under the surface. If you keep capitalism in place in any way, it will always eventually trend towards it's natural endpoint of 0.01% being obscenely, unfathomably rich and the rest getting fucked over in every possible way.

I almost never go to the theater but I just checked and here in the Netherlands it's €13,50 for 2D and €16,50 for imax. That's crazy. The last time I went to see a movie in the theater was somewhere at the end of 2019, and it was like €10. That's a 30% price increase in under 4 years, christ.

Nothing beats sitting on my own couch in my bathrobe with one kitty on my lap and another snuggled up to me at my side. Don't have to go out of the house, snacks are cheap. You'd have to pay me money to go to a theater, and a hefty amount at that.

He doesn't even have experience in coding either. He always pretends to but the only degree he has is in business or something.

Or he got assimilated by the Borg. No longer an individual lol

I maybe check facebook once every few months, and that's only if someone sends me a link to an event. And it seems like almost everyone has left or is at least not active. A few years ago (well, maybe more than a few, time flies) I was pretty active and my feed would be full of my friends' status updates. I would actually see what they were up to if I went on Facebook. Now only a handful of my Facebook friends are still active, and they're all 35+ and have their own business or project of some kind that they want to share updates of. Not mlm since they're all hippies; things like a community garden, handmade stuff, musicians, but still something to promote. It takes me 30 seconds to see everything. Most of my Facebook friends haven't posted anything in years or months, just like me.

Left vs right is literally the same thing as down vs up.

Hm, I love the Platform, watched it twice, but I really wouldn't place it in the category of Cube or Squid Game. They aren't playing a game. It's much more similar to Snowpiercer.

I stopped using it because apparently it had been abandoned by the dev, and switched to Infinity because it's extremely similar, but I loved Slide too. Will definitely use this.
