I’ve always assumed this (and assumed that other people assumed this), because if you talk to homophobes they’ll eventually say something like “it’s a choice!” because it’s a choice for them. It’s not a choice for me because gay porn doesn’t turn me on – and if it did I wouldn’t care anyway because that’s how I was raised. But it DOES turns them on, AND they were raised in an environment where this is THE WORST THING EVER, so it upsets them and they get all irrational and punchy (lesson learned: DO NOT discuss this theory with a homophobe.)

TLDR; IMHO Homophobes who think orientation is a choice are closeted gays because logic.

It would be nice to see a better study. Interesting if one hasn’t been done in all this time…

Everyone’s different. I remember a lot, and so clean up on trivia night.

Even if you aren’t the type to remember, you’re still learning. The details aren’t always as important as the concepts.

Oh yeah. This does it for me too. A 20-something volume series space-opera or tactical space-war is perfect for GSD. Works great for insomnia too.

Fortunately we’re in a sci-fi golden-age so there’s lots of great stuff to keep a brain happily occupied while the body mindlessly toils. Urban fantasy is another great genre for this. There’s even urban-fantasy space-opera if that’s your thing, lol.

The implication is that on meds they’re super-focused and goal-oriented. Without they’re having fun and trying new ideas. Neither is good or bad, right or wrong. Rings true for me.

Meds aren’t going to make anyone neurotypical – they just help them harness their awesomely chaotic mind so they can do something more productive with it.

Having a “Board of Directors” is how we do it.

The community elects the board, and the job of the board is to figure out how to do what the community wants. Absolutely no hierarchy or leadership (except from within the community).

Not that I can find.

Interesting, I never heard of them. But it looks like they don’t stream torrents and I don’t need storage. It’s also about 10x more expensive. If I wanted to host my own debrid server that looks like a good place to do it.
