Gay people are 2-5% of the population depending on who you ask. Within the LGBT community, gay men and lesbians combined are outnumbered by bisexuals, who are predominantly het-partnered. Only 9% of bisexuals have same-sex partners.

See, what most people don't realize is that gay people, actual gay people, have very little influence. Not just in mainstream politics or media - we have increasingly less and less influence over the LGBT/"queer" community itself.

The perception of asexuals as an oppressed class of people does not benefit gay people. The insistence that heterosexual couples "can be queer" if one partner is bi does not benefit gay people. The increased pressure to find the opposite sex attractive or relatable as long as they claim to be the same sex does not benefit gay people. So why is it that these are all, apparently, agendas of the "gay rights movement"?

Because we haven't been at the wheel of this thing for a long time, my dudes.

[missouriangothic]

I don't think I made it clear enough in this post that the "LGBTQ community" is about 47% het-partnered at this point in time. 20 years ago, this 47% would have just identified as straight with no second thought about it. The gay rights movement has been co-opted from gay people and repurposed for the validation of narcissists. It's not ours anymore.

[picklebitch69]

it never was just “yours.” it is the LGBTQ+ community. wasn’t started by just lesbians and gays, and it is not being powered or continued by just lesbians or gays. we accomplished so much in terms of gay rights, like gay marriage, bc the whole queer community was pushing for it. just like how the queer community as a net unit effect pushes for more rights for our noncis and nonstraight members as well.

your post reads as transphobic (”increased pressure to find the opposite sex attractive or relatable as long as they claim to be the same sex”) and dismissive of the struggles of everyone who has an identity in the queer community beyond gay or lesbian.

and, 47% being het-partnered? not an issue. thats trans people, bi people (who are bi regardless of who they end up with and how convenient that is for your beliefs), and other individuals subverting the toxic u.s. norms of the nuclear family and attraction/gender expression expectations and the class system with who and how they love each other and themselves in their expression.

there is still being work done for gay and lesbian rights, there’s also just being more work done on trans and other attractions rights as well.

stop being mad that the inequalities others are suffering is being focused on right now. we are all fighting the same fight, to reach equality for everyone.

Me, 5 minutes later:

[guerrillatech]

[annoyingalchemist]

Ok so can someone explain to me how cryptocurrency pollutes? Like what crazy calculations are they running that they need enough brainpower to significantly effect things? Like I’m assuming what’s causing the pollution is increased electricity consumption but… how does sending lil pretend money tokens back and forth or whatever cause so much pollution?

Also, what the fuck is “mining”? How d'you mine… like bitcoin is not a naturally occurring resource, and I assume that you can’t just make it, cause that would make it instantly worthless… help?

[commiemartyrshighschool]

So you get “coins” as a reward for performing the cryptographic calculations necessary to update the public ledger which is the blockchain. This is, by design, an increasingly complex and resource intensive process to slow down the collection of (intentionally finite) coins.

So every transaction with bitcoins requires the ledger to be updated with the current ownership of every already existing bitcoin, which also requires encrypting and decrypting a bunch of information and sharing it across the public ledger. So every transaction made with bitcoins increases the energy requirements of updating the ledger making it harder and harder to complete the latest version and get the coin which is a reward for doing that work.

There’s a lot I don’t fully understand myself but the long and short of it is that the actual value of any crypto currency is pretty much just what people agree on, except instead of a fiat currency where a government says it’s worth something and a mint that makes physical currency, there’s a bunch of nerds who agree that solving certain math problems is worth rewarding.

[brokenmachine3553]

Feeling like adding on for a bit of context, I know it’s kind of hard to understand how mining for really any kind of crypto is hard to imagine, but seeing what a bitcoin mining facility looks like for the first time really helped me realize just how energy intensive it is.

See all these warehouses? They’re quite literally filled to the brim with specialized computers that do nothing but mine, each one filled with thousands of these computers, just row after row of this:

So all the power consumption winds up adding up like crazy.

[white-throated-packrat]

Yep, that’s why cryptocurrency and NFTs are considered major contributors to pollution – because the energy needs of all those computers doing the calculation are equivalent to a medium sized country. Currently, crypto consumes more energy than Argentina.

[ralfmaximus]

Guess what’s inside a lot of mining rigs? Gowan, guess.

Graphics cards! 

Lots and lots of these puppies side by side, spinning their little fans as fast as they can go because as it turns out: GPUs are perfect for doing the calculations required for mining cryptocurrency.

Which means amateur miners buy a lot of these things.

So many, in fact, that there is now (May 2021) a world-wide shortage of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards and building a new gaming rig is damn near impossible because of the shortage. 

OR you can pay a ridiculously inflated price by GPU scalpers on eBay.

Seriously. Places that sell GPUs impose quantity limits because if they don’t… some crypto asshole will buy out their entire stock in one go.

But the “good” news is that the professional miners (like the Bitmain site up there, in the photos) use dedicated ASIC mining rigs which don’t use consumer GPUs. But (bad news) they DO use the same sort of chips that NVIDIA & AMD rely on to make their products, which just starves the supply pipeline at a different point.

Bottom line: not only does cryptocurrency mining consume terawatts of electricity, it also consumes megatons of computer hardware. Which is expensive to produce (in resource terms, like rare metals, petroleum, water, electricity, paper) and will, someday, require even MORE resources to recycle. Or else it ends up in a landfill.

Note that current dedicated mining rigs are so highly specialized they are useless for anything other than mining. They cannot be easily repurposed to  (say) sequence DNA or fold proteins for miracle cures.

What a waste.

[smute]

was anyone gonna tell me that some nerds peepee poopoo “currency” is the reason why graphics cards are sold out everywhere or was i supposed to find that out from comments under a screenshot from twitter user whoreganic cop puncher explaining how bitcoin is just an artificially complicated math problem

[feeshies]

Guys I’m going to make a hot take

[feeshies]

The whole “I wish I could be with a woman, but instead I’m stuck with my stupid, gross husband/boyfriend” sentiment I see repeated in bi circles is just the “progressive” queer version of the boomer “I hate my wife” jokes

[cumaeansibyl]

if he’s stupid and gross you should leave him and if he isn’t you’re just being cruel for internet points and he should leave you

Tumblr burned down years ago, and now a tranquil meadow has grown from its ruins

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Tumblr is that barren pasture in Costa Rica that was purposely filled with 12,000 metric tons of orange peels by conservation researchers. Initially, the orange peels decomposed into “sludgy stuff filled with fly larvae.” This led to accusations that the juice company providing the peels were “defiling the land,” and thus, the site was ultimately abandoned. But when researchers went back about 15 years later, they discovered “the arid landscape had been unrecognisably transformed into a dense, vine-filled jungle... as for how the orange peels were able to regenerate the site so effectively in just 16 years of isolation, nobody's entirely sure.”

And that, my friends, is Tumblr.

O o o o can you do one with the boys of fucked up were one of the punishments goes to far and she not really feeling it that day and readers like they hate me and I’ve been a really bad girl there going to get rid of me and I’ll be alone again so she gets all depressed and tries super hard because she thinks she’s been bad

hi anon, sorry it took me a while to write this, but i hope you enjoy it! the first part of your ask sounded like subdrop but when i researched subdrop it didn’t really cohere with the second half of your request, so i just wrote it as a subdrop fic. Hope this is okay! :)

cw: talk of p*dophilia, CSA, and CSEM antis be like: “you are normalising pedophilia!” but then proceed to normalise calling people pedos when they do not even know the textbook definition of what pedophilia is. i get the concern, but this does so much harm than good. by normalising “outing” people as pedophiles, so many people who have no real qualifications to diagnose people with pedophilia end up claiming to “diagnose” them regardless. it has turned into some hunt where minors especially treat “outing pedos” as a game when it could be extremely dangerous if they are trying to talk to a real predator. the definition of pedophile is very rigid and though it may feel tempting to throw it around like an insult, i assure you that is far from a thing that should be normalised. if you feel they are a predator and have ACTUAL evidence (not just… drawings… or writing), just say that. say “creep”. saying someone is a pedophile as an insult is watering down what pedophilia truly is. people who do that really look like a whole circus to people who understand psychology.  pedophilia is a mental illness. it shouldn’t be a colloquial term for “creep” because that is harmful more than the general population realise. the reason minors in online spaces get hurt by predators is that the terms for such predators are conflated and associated with shipping wars and drawings; this means that said terms have lost their original meaning entirely and have morphed into a petty insult. seeing antis call predators “normal people” and jumping to defend them whilst attacking artists for being pedophiles is a whole circus i am tired of seeing. i am tired of such serious issues being watered down. people are so in the thick of their conflated, incorrect definitions that they do not even realise that CSA is not always the work of a pedophile. antis are so ignorant that they spread around REAL CSEM of a child on the internet to prove a point. this is what happens when you take serious terms and water them down. their impact is shattered and people are hurt. stop throwing around CSA, CSEM, and pedophile like they are playground insults.

Caste Heaven 1~6 カーストヘヴン 1~6

I was thinking about the increasing softness in the covers…in the first volumes grey prevails over other colors, it’s like a lack of brightness and the characters seem like trapped? From volume 5 they are no longer inside the school but on the rooftop, and they are getting closer and closer (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) Not to mention the bottle in the sixth volume, almost as a symbol of their feelings. I’m sure the next cover will be something really sweet.   At least I hope so. ( ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) If you have any interpretation, please share it!
