Rick and Morty or Steven Universe?

Past a certain point, you won't be able to download anything until you fix your ratio. I'm NOT sure but maybe you can still download some freeleech content? Seeding that will help you get your ratio back up.

Also, have you uploaded anything at all? You can claim a 600 seed point bonus for your first upload. Just be sure to claim it. That should help you fix your ratio.

Hey it may just be one point- but they do add up. Soon your seed can become a raging Redwood. 
Water it with a few topics- like politics. That's got the same effect as plant food. Posts proliferate and those seed points start flying left and right!

That's terrible, Eridanos. I'm sorry you had to go through that. The pressure to conform and the fear of labels is much much stronger at that stage. Many guys at that age wouldn't have the strength or courage to break the peer pressure yet. I did keep one good friend who was experimenting with me, but we kept things quiet and were very careful with how we acted.

But it does get better, at least in my experience- once I entered college. I went to a big university and made some great friends and finally managed to come out to the ones closest to me. They stood by me and there wasn't as much pressure or judgement as there was in high school.

I admit to having a thing for blondes! 

Blue eyes or green?

I guess I'm lucky enough to have only experienced minor discrimination- and only of the verbal sort. I guess partially because of the way I carry myself- and the fact that I tend to conform to most assessments of masculinity- which is something carried over from my days in high school when I was still closeted.

I think more than education levels, a person's exposure to something is the main factor in lessening their tendency to discriminate. That's why coming out is such a big deal- the more people realize that their friends, neighbors, classmates are gay, the more accepting they tend to be. It's not 100% guaranteed, but it certainly helps. It's hard to bash gays when you realize your best friend, brother, favorite sports star is one of "those people".

This holds true for most issues of "Otherness" as well. If you are more exposed to other religions, cultures, races etc. the less threatening it will seem, and the more accepting you will be of them. Education does also play a factor, but nothing beats the more personal experience of being exposed to make the Other seem more familiar and acceptable. This also explains why the more cosmopolitan cities tend to have a more tolerant population than the people from more insular small towns.

Yes, I do!

The person below me enjoys grunge music from the 80's and 90's.

Not that I mind gay Santa at all, but if you want something new- it's still close enough to Chinese New Year- we could have a gay Year of the Rooster? If you're looking for something to put up, that is.  ;D

Enjoy exploring everything the site has to offer. There's a lot to find here so have fun!

Hello and  :welcome: to the forums!

I never really expected to get involved here either, but it turned out to be a lot of fun and you get some bonus points on the side for posting too, which is nice.

Just jump in to whichever topic you like, or start one up. Have fun!

The show has a lot of potential. I love the whole creepy Twin Peeks small town vibe that they managed to set up. The cast looks really promising- KJ Apa as Archie was HOT, but it was Cole Sprouse as Jughead who really stood out as an interesting character.

In my experience- to "make your move" is often linked but not limited to, initiating a romantic or sexual encounter. But this is just the more common but not only use for the phrase.

I've often heard and used it to mean the "right moment" or the most opportune time to act has opened up. So making a move is all about finding and using just the right moment to achieve your goal.

I'm one of those sad people who gets nauseous when playing FPS games. And aside from that, I do understand the appeal- bonding with mates trying to out-shoot the other team.

For me though, a good RPG or even more an ARPG like Diablo or Path of Exile wins hands down! :cheers:

I agree- he isn't hurting anyone so if it makes him happy and more confident, then good for him. It's only other people and their hang ups that becomes a problem.

A piece of laundry if there's one near me, if not then trusty toilet paper will do.

Famousbovine, eh?
I find cows funny. The 'famous' part is my attempt at sounding glamorous (didn't work, obviously).  ;D
If I could change my nickname, however, I would like a name from Greek mythology. Particularly those who were punished like Sisyphus, Ixion, or Arachne. I am so edgy.   :crazy:

I think Ixion would have been a really cool forum name! 
Where is your avatar from? It looks mysterious and creepy!

Interesting thread!
My own origin sequence comes from Irish history and folklore.
Brian Boru was a High King of Ireland who I did some research on in college, and also became one of my first characters on Diablo 2.
7 was my jersey number from high school soccer, and 2 is my lucky number.

Add them all together and you have brianboru72

Friends dragged me to a Zumba session- and I fell in love with this version of A-Ha's best known song.
