When my faggotry meter is charged enough, I'll just browse shit like Dynasty Reader, hitting funny sounding tags. I'll also binge read random martial arts comics for mixes of complete and utter comedy at the impossibilities and suspended disbelief for FUCK THE YEAH moments at the same time. If I had any real preference, it'd be true dark comedy, where seemingly insane things actually make the most logical sense due to the absurdity of situation, causing emotional discomfort due to identifying with the normally insane actions while reading, but realizing that I'd be a horrible human if I did it myself in any other circumstance.
Will I get a warning since I'm referring to my own perception of my tendencies, intended as completely separate from hurling slurs at people? For perspective, my sister is a lesbian carpenter and one of my best friends is gay, and I would never refer to either of their actions as faggotry (even with Nate's personal proclamations that he is a flaming queen, and no one disagreeing).
I feel scared as the only one with Hume at 100%.
Those brackets were, in fact, the truth (and I'm glad I put them there), because I got that pretty badly wrong. Shouldn't rely on half-remembered mentions, apparently.
He's just as critical about reasoning as he is about sense data, arguing that even logical systems fail to be essentially verifiable. Concrete proof of anything is lacking - but, in consequence, one might as well take one's experiences at face value (thereby avoiding the nihilistic trap of pure solipsism), while just keeping in mind that nothing is necessarily true.

Hume is great. don't be scared. Dude just got to the end of his line of reasoning, decided he had enough fun drinking and playing board games with his friends, and thought that was good enough. (Severely simplified and not really reflective of all of the work he put in, but dude is legit amazing).
Ah i see.
Makes more sense with me now.

Just testint what happens when you pick "no preference" for everything
Despite knowing she was a lesbian for years, my half sister only came out to me after a joke her eventual wife made 2 years ago. We were floating down a river on vacation and we happened to float next to, and have a conversation with, another group of people. I think I was the only one who hadn't been drinking alcohol. The other group consisted of a black man, a hispanic man, a white rapper, and a man who was apparently from the Middle East. Everybody started making jokes about each other and one of them commented that we could get together and make the most offensive movie ever. My half sister's girlfriend then commented that with the two of them they could make all the gay jokes they wanted. The my half sister spent the rest of the night trying to come out to me while awkwardly avoiding the L word. I still haven't told her I'm bi which I kind of feel awful about.

I think I got these results because the mediocre people who made this test were impeding me.

Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
For me, I just don't care what gets people going, as long as shit is rationally consented and non-destructive to public property. And the public property part is a built construct on assumption of necessary society for humans. If there was a workable and fair society without public property as a necessary construct, then I'm cool with just rationally consented. Now, funny "special" parts of humanity like people cumming on actual rocks as their thing does miss the consented portion if you ascribe to something like a fully spiritual pantheism, but I'm assuming a more widely modern world view. Also, non-destruction of public property wouldn't be placed as an ultimate premise in all cases, since public uprisings can be merited in select cases. But that shit doesn't usually concern itself with the topic of sexual orientation, so we can ignore that.
Observing people is just interesting to me, because in spite of many thinking that people are beyond animals, a lot of everyday tendencies just seem to be animals being assholes to each other as a norm, just with the weird societal rational that makes things a little less predictive when people are teetering between the edge of giving priority to impulse or reason. And I mean interesting not in the "haha stupid shit funny" sense, but rather in the "these are the currently defining features of my species, deng, that's somehow amazing" sense.
So yeah, if you feel guilty about it, I guess maybe plan a way to come out about it, if the guilt levels are reaching actual levels of existential importance.
The problem with that is that I'm afraid she would tell the rest of my family. Not on purpose mind you, but she drinks a LOT of alcohol, so I'm worried she'd let it slip. I pretty much know what my family's reactions would be. My mother would break down in tears, my dad wouldn't say anything against it but he wouldn't be happy about it. My grandmother would be shocked and likely disgusted, my aunts would find it unnatural, most of my cousins wouldn't care much. Ironically despite me and my sister hating each other(completely separate from my half sister, I get along fine with my half sister) I don't think she would actually care about me being bi. Though she might call me a faggot just to insult me.

Plus most of the people where I live that aren't related to me would be disgusted as well.
I played through Chapter 3 to the end of Read Only Memories tonight. Strong game, some minor mechanical flaws and some stylistic choices that mildly annoy me because I am a grouch (two tone hair everywhere aaaaaah) but it's still good. Will probably make a thread for it.
Ah, family and cultural restrictions. Shit's rough. =/
That shit is really unfortunate. I really feel like family members are supposed to support each other, but close-minded shit like that makes it really hard since an immediate proximity majority makes it seem like you're the one betraying them; from a broader perspective, though, it can be said that they're betraying their roles as family members. I can't really do anything about, so I all I can really do is hope that things get a little better over time. Good luck, bro. =/
Yo, do you have manga rec's in the same line as Prunus Girl? The balance of romcom, slice of life, and dgaf is a lot of fun, but it's kinda hard to find.
Eh, doesn't need to be. I don't mind at all if they do, though. Could be as straight as a line on toroid seen from euclidean space for all I care, as long is execution isn't bad.
