As I kid, I thought it was interesting that while there were male and female voices available for voice assistants (like Siri), people would always pick the female ones

I considered doing this when I was working at Subaru, but I decided to take the high road

Okay, I suppose in the future I'll do better to check my privilege. But what does mental arithmetic have to do with handedness?

Once upon a time I read a statistic that said left-handed people were more successful than righties so I taught myself to write and do all sorts of things left-handed. I'm still a fuckin loser but at least now I'm ambidextrous, so take whatever lesson you want from that

I've been a man for most of my life. It hurts my feelings when people say "cis men don't deserve this or that privilege" cause I've been there. Everyone deserves the privilege of living in comfort, even the stinky, evil cis men.

Uh, that is to say I agree with you.

Some people on the internet seem to think passion = sexual arousal, I see it all the time with special interests.

You can obviously be passionate about pokemon, for example, without having carnal desires towards them, but the fact that they're popular in certain kinds of art causes people to judge a huge community by its horniest creators.

That's not to say the horny art is bad or anything (although I have a particular gripe with fantasies that wouldn't pass the Harkness test), but it seems to always draw the wrong sort of attention.

It's been a while since I took Modern physics, so take my yammerings with a grain of salt. You want to know more about the atomic model or relative physics?

Mossy, don't take this the wrong day, but I'm laughing at the idea of you first looking at this post and thinking "I know someone is going to have questions about this and goddamnit I have the answers"

Thank you for your service

The way people learn about atoms is basically a series of nested "this isn't exactly correct but understanding it like this helps you comprehend whatever we're learning", because electrons are so crazy that we had to expand our definitions of basic principles further and further to explain the fucked up shit they do.

Classical physics is another one. It's appropriate for everything you possibly fathom, but increasingly, modern technologies require some additional compensation for time and space dilation.
