  • 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.


  • Yeah. “I use OpenSUSE tumbleweed, but have reasons I’ve been thinking about switching. I consistently hear that mint is a good place to start, or maybe pop!os if you’re looking to run games”

    I don’t actually even say the first sentence unless the question was “what do you use?”

    Sometimes, if it’s clear they’re trying to revive very old hardware I might help them search for something built around being lightweight.

    I’m mostly happy with tumbleweed, except that I have the nvidia repo set up and am convinced that it’s causing issues. One of these days I’ll look into how to try the nouveau drivers and/or how to get from my current setup to dualbooting pop!os without disrupting things I need for work.

    Also, an update straight up broke emacs while i was in crunch time once, but I learned to be more careful about my update timing.





  • It Could Happen Here is often talking about what’s going on that week in the world. I wouldn’t try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

    Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I’d reckon), I’ve listened to most of what has come out since.

    Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It’s only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that’s your thing.

    I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they’ve gone as far back as the 1600s.

    Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She’s mostly done short run things on a single topic. She’s on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

    You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.
