If genetic modification becomes a thing, the first thing I'm doing is removing my ABCC11 gene. It's basically the reason we have armpit and genital sweat.

Asians don't know the pain everyone else does because they don't have that gene.

Ah, you've found yourself a hunter.

i just got bloodborne and im gonna be playing it for the first time!! (once my brother relinquishes control of the playstation tho lmao) so uh any tips? i’m not super great at playstation games since i find the controls kinda weird so i expect to die a Lot

my main bit of advice since you struggle w playstation controls is to make sure you always lock on to enemies (the game will tell you how; pay attention to the tutorial notes). Additionally:

bloodbornes combat rewards you for being overall more aggressive than defensive. keep this in mind

But also: running past enemies is a perfectly valid way of progressing in an area if youre in a slump. They dont follow you all that far

Give yourself time to learn; its gonna feel daunting at first (that feeling never entirely goes away).

Most importantly: have fun! You only get to play bloodborne for the first time once :]

If r/itemshop on reddit was in real life would life be much better or much worse?

I've been in bed for almost an hour after waking up and my walking animation hasn't loaded help.

So if you're bilingual, that means you speak two languages right?

Does that mean if your Indian and can only speak a language other than hindi, does that make you heterolingual?

And if you're Chinese and can only speak Chinese that makes you homolingual?

WAKE UP SHEEPLE: emojjs we're invented by the Simpson's, Shigetaka Kurita was a cover up!!! Why else would all the emoji's skin tone be yellow?

[jaroosthoughts]

Does anyone else start feeling sensory overload coming so they put themselves in a quiet environment to aid that. Then you start thinking out loud / talking, which contributes to your sensory overload so it's just a weird bruh moment of infinite pain?

I just did some math out of pure boredom and I now know that I'm 6,303 days old. And in a few hours I will be 6,304 days old.

I just thought of something really dumb scene but don't have the patience to turn it into a comic or anything:

Ok so, there is a pair of humans walking around with their half-shark, half-human friend. Let's call him Bruce. He doesn't really have much of a moral compass and is casually intimidating. One of the humans points out a really cute looking cat and they start talking about how cute it is.

Bruce starts walking towards it, his pupils dilated. He comments, "I'm hungry." Everyone else just screams in terror, telling him to stop.

[jaroosthoughts]

I feel like one of the worst things you can do to yourself and others is to lock up your open mind.

Please, stay curious. Always be happy to learn about others experiences and explore the many rabbit holes of humanity.

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Asexuals, bring your clipboards and lab coats, we're gonna watch youtubers play Resident Evil 8

[jaroosthoughts]

The ones that say "you're to hot to be ace" is just... what? It's gross, why do people think like this?

Things people have said and asked me after learning I am asexual, and why they are rude and acephobic.

"You just haven't found the right person yet."

Every aspec person has heard this more than once, and everyone saying this, is more or less referring to themself as the right person. Finding the right person will not change our sexuality and implying that it will, is acephobic.

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

We are not afraid of sex. We just don't feel sexual attraction, thus the urge and need for sex is little to none-existing.

"But do you masturbate?"

Asking asexual people if they masturbate is extremely rude and frankly, none of your business. Would you ask a straight or gay person you just met the same?

"You can't be ace because your boobs are so nice and big."

The size of our body parts doesn't dictate our sexuality. Saying someone can't be ace because they have big boobs or a big dick is invalidating, and putting physical appearances over personal feelings and experiences.

"You should come with me to a swinger club."

I really should not, and I don't need to explain to you why this is offensive. Just don't ask asexual people out to a swinger club.

"Why don't you like sex?"

Asexuality has nothing to do with not liking sex. Some aces do, some don't. Again, asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction, not whether or not we like the sexual act itself.

"You aren't ace, you're just straight and making up an excuse to invade lgbtqia spaces."

This is simply not true. We are not sexually attracted to the opposite gender, so we are not heterosexual. This includes heteroromantic aces, because they are still not heterosexual. Aces are and will always be lgbtqia.

"You can't be intimate without sex!"

Of course you can. Having sex is only one type of intimacy. There are so many other ways you can be intimate with each other that doesn't revolve around sex, and having to explain this to you, is actually pretty sad.

"Sex is what separates us from the animals."

Most animals have sex, so this is not even an argument. This is also implying that aces aren't real human beings, which is an extremely hurtful thing to say. Just because we experience life differently than you, doesn't make us any less human.

"You're like a plant then!"

A lot of plants also have sex, so also not really a valid comparison, and once again, diminishing our human experience.

"Soooo.... Send me nudes? It's not sexual to you so you wouldn't mind me seeing your boobs."

This is not only acephobic, but also misogynistic. Of course I'm not going to send you nudes. Just because I'm asexual and doesn't find the human body sexually appealing, doesn't mean I want to fuel your boob obsession. Asexual is not synonymous with not caring who sees me naked. Stop being an objectifying asshole, and treat women and aces with respect.

"How can you fall in love if you're ace?"

Ace people can still experience romantic attraction and fall in love. Implying that we can't fall in love, is acephobic and diminishes romantic attraction and platonic relationships. Even aromantic asexuals can fall in love and want a relationship.

"Wait you're ace? What a waste."

Do I even need to tell you why this is extremely offensive and hurtful? This is once again putting someone's physical appearance over real feelings and lived experiences.

"Your previous partners must have been weak and pathetic in bed."

My previous partners have nothing to do with my lack of sexual attraction and you bringing them into the discussion, is in itself weak and pathetic. They didn't make me ace by being bad at sex, I was always ace. This also suggests that you probably think you can do better and "fix me" but sweaty, you can't. You really can't. No amount of good sex can ever make me any less asexual. It's not how it works.

And finally "I can make you change your mind/fix you/make you like it"

Often said by a man, thinking his dick is made of magic and can "cure" asexuality. Well, your dick isn't magic and we don't need to be fixed. We are not broken. We also can't change our minds, because it was never a choice to begin with. And if you have ever said to an ace person that you can "make them like it", you sound like a rapey creep and need to stop. Just stop.

All of these examples are things that real people have actually said to me. I'm perfectly okay with educating people and answering questions, but there are limits to what I'm willing to share. Some questions are just too rude for me to be polite about.

If you really want to learn about asexuality, you can do some research yourself instead of asking rude and invading questions. And if you absolutely have to ask questions, be polite and don't ask things you wouldn't ask a stranger while standing in line at the grocery store.

One of the things society has done that I will never forgive is sexualising the word 'daddy' Just saying it aloud hurts my soul.

[jaroosthoughts]

What if being gay *was* contagious? Like whenever someone comes in contact with a homosexual they treat the situation the same way people do in a zombie apocalypse movie.

"Oh no, you have to kill me before the gay takes over!"

"I can't just shoot someone!!!"

"Hurry, I'm starting to think you're hot!"
