Ace here: I have plenty of sex drive, but am not attracted to anyone. I didn't come up with it, but a good analogy is feeling like eating, but you open the fridge and nothing in particular is calling to you.

If you are (or can imagine being) straight or gay, or even just have "a type"... There are people you don't feel inclined to fuck. For me, that set of people is everyone I've met so far. I've been in relationships, albeit rarely, but it's always been when the other person showed a lot of interest to get things started.

There are also people who feel like sex is gross, and not all of them have trauma in their history.

Earlier in the story arc they got to their campsite by canoe. In the 80s it's totally reasonable that they didn't know when the rain was going to break.

They do/did here in Virginia. They're "skill games" or something. Some law changed it something because they've been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.

Is it just me, or do programmers only come in "lightweight" and "Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry" varieties?

Somehow I manage to be both. My alcohol tolerance is very high (which is great... I like a little buzz but never want to be actually drunk), but for me, one toke is over the line.

Sounds like they have been.

I've heard that the issue for some cats isn't that they can see the bottom, but that their whiskers hit the side of the bowl and that's uncomfortable.

The discipline is "mathematics." It's really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

Canadian here.

I said "sorry" (I have no idea why)

I may have a guess for you.

Beau of the fifth column does 3-10 minute videos doing political analysis in what looks like a garage.

He said on a longer FAQ video that he's set things up to hide his channel's income from himself. He draws a salary that's enough to take care of his family, but he doesn't know how much more the channel earns -- he doesn't want his content to be influenced even unconsciously by which videos The Algorithm say paid better.

Thanks! I had heard about this and went to the linked article above hoping to actually see it without having to deal with twitter.
