The joke between my spouse and me is, whenever we complain about any physical ailment or weakness (e.g. back pain, declining eyesight, or anything else that can expected to deteriorate through one's middle years): "it must be long covid".

One research paper basically asked people if they got out of breathe walking up stairs after covid infection and the headline was something like "OMG half of people over 30 have long covid!!!"

    what happened with LGBdroptheT?

    btw I looked into r/intersex and I noticed most of them think they're trans. Good job being smart enough to avoid being pulled into the gender cult.

    Drama involving the lesbian or bi owner and a lesbian thread on ovarit. Something about lesbians can't be attracted to penis, and that somehow spiraled into a shitshow. Pretty funny from a distance tbh.

    lmao So who thought lesbians are into penis? How did this lead to LGBdroptheT being deleted (is it deleted)?

    Maybe the bisexual moderator(s)? It was more of an abstract discussion over the veracity of lesbian attraction to the phallus, spread out over 70~ comments. Owner posted how she couldn't believe actual lesbians were "defending" the idea, and a few days later privated the saidit.

    This is also true of mentally ill people. People optimistically think the obnoxious mentally ill people are all just faking, but holy fucking shit is that not true.

    (On a related note, a fun way to rustle the jimmies of my fellow anxiety sufferers who think our disorder makes us morally virtuous is to point out that anxiety can also manifest in Karen behaviour.)

    Preach. We have none of that faggotry here where I live. Tons of churches that are packed are keeping them at bay.

    These fuckheads (hetero-leaning bisexuals) will also claim that they're gay. Like wtf, gay=homosexual and even homo-leaning bisexuals aren't gay lol.

    [–]BiHorror 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

    Why blame bisexuals on this? This is straight people. Especially straight people pretending to be bisexual for attention.

    The most of the time opposite (or same) sex leaning bisexuals claim they're "gay" or "straight" is when they're forced to choose a side. The other time is when they're so leaning, they wouldn't know it until a certain scenario happens. Which does happen.

    Edit: Never seen genuine opposite sex leaning bisexuals claim to be gay, unless it was a joke, I have seen them claimed to be straight. The same sex group, sure, but again due to being so far leaning, they didn't know. Only people I have seen do the "I'm straight but still call myself xyz!" are straight people. Especially straight women.

    The problem is that these people have infected bisexual spaces and discourse so much to the point they're effectively the bisexuals.

    How can you tell if someone is bi because of their innate sexual or because they are a psycho who will screw anyone to get what they want?

    [–]Neo_Shadow_Lurker 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    Most sex pests don't identify as bi, believe it or not.

    They tend to stick to the extremes even if they don't fit into them, resorting to cheap mental gymnastics to explain their contradictions.

    Case in point: transbians, who are mostly straight/bisexual men with a fetish, insist to identify as lesbians even when they literally have sex with males who aren't larping as women. The same goes for chasers, who also tend to identify as straight and get very defensive when told otherwise.

    The only exception that comes to mind is pansexuals, which tend to be either sex pests or virtue signalling.

    I wasn't talking about sex pests.

    I was taking about ambitious people like Amber Herd.

    In fact a large number of supposedly straight actress are known as bi in the industry. They could all be bi and just be massively over represented or they could just be screwing whoever is going to get them on.

    In fact a large number of supposedly straight actress are known as bi in the industry. They could all be bi and just be massively over represented or they could just be screwing whoever is going to get them on.

    First, this sounds a lot like the all-too-familiar "Biphobia: Female Edition" in a nutshell. That is: "women who call themselves bi actually aren't (cuz there's No Such Thing of course)-- they're REALLY straight, just slutty!" (As distinct from "Biphobia: Male Edition", i.e., "men who call themselves bi actually aren't [cuz blah blah blah]-- they're REALLY gay, just cowardly!")

    Second, since the vast majority of power-brokers in the entertainment industry are men... how would being bi (as opposed to just plain straight) help a woman "sleep her way to the top", exactly?

    Third, the whole "sleeping her way to the top" thing itself seems pretty dubious. Both because it plays on the aformentioned bi-women-are-sluts stereotype, and also the centuries-old "actress = whore" stereotype (which, along with the euphemistic term "casting couch", is a convenient cover for what's actually just good old-fashioned sexual harassment). Regularly being faced with "fuck me or you'll never work in this town again, bitch" doesn't make YOU ambitious; it makes THEM predators. And whatever you do about it... you lose. When the one paying the price in this scenario should, by all rights, be the fucking rapist.

    Fourth (and finally): I suspect that bi (and gay, and lesbian) people actually do account for a high percentage of the acting profession. Because we grow up learning to act, don't we? Specifically, learning to act straight. And thus developing a sensitivity to people's behavioral cues. So we know how to pretend to be something we're not... and hide who we really are.

    In fact, I think that there's a strong connection between being LGB and being "creative" in general. Not because of anything inherent about us; because of the stigma that being same-sex-attracted carries, and the internal conflict that this tends to cause. Creativity/the arts are a major way of trying to resolve that inner conflict. Sure, anyone can have this kind of talent-- that itself is no more common for us than for straight people-- but we're disproportionately likely to focus on and develop it. Because (thanks to homophobia/biphobia)... we're disproportionately likely to NEED to.

    I'm not blaming every bisexual, but I knew one person that pretended to be a lesbian claim she was gay while being in an opposite sex relationship. She also pretended to be a music genre as well. Now she calls her pronouns she/they.

    Sounds similar to my ex. Difference isnshe always called herself straight but was in lesbian relationship. Ended up transing.

    That's sad. The troon cult is taking too many people.

    Spicy straights at it again. Although, should we be surprise by the article? She or he is also claiming other minority groups are getting covid more compared to others... It's almost like COVID doesn't care what you are, and if you're in a certain place at the wrong time, you're gonna get it.

    [–]Neo_Shadow_Lurker 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    They do this because they want attention, simple as that.

    "Well you see, demographic x is on average more infected by x disease, but if we gave them more asspats then this wouldn't be the case!"

    If certain groups are reporting having covid more than others it shows the exact opposite of "covid doesn't care what you are".

    Lower income people are more likely to get COVID because they they are forced to work in service sector jobs. Lower income people are more likely to be a racial minority. People misrepresent this as their race is the reason they have more COVID but COVID itself is just infecting whoever is there, it doesn't "care."
