Pansexuality is broader than bisexuality, and people who identify as pansexual may be attracted to people of all genders. Bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders, but not necessarily all.

The terms broadly overlap, but the distinction matters to some people and that's okay.

Try not to feed the trolls

Great article. I really appreciate that this community generally seems to be able to share articles and engage in discussions about issues facing men without demonizing other groups in the process, at least as far as I've seen on my feed. It's refreshing.

One of my favorite movies ever. This completely changed what I thought science fiction was capable of.

Highly recommend the book and its sequels, Authority and Acceptance, even if you've seen the film. They're completely different, Alex Garland wrote the screenplay based on how he remembered the first book rather than its actual plot.

"If you take a shot every time Frodo says the word "ring" you pass out before the movie ends. This means something and I am intelligent."

Crazy, it's almost like that's one of the things the movie was about.

That's certainly an unpopular opinion. I love rereading Calvin and Hobbes strips. Maybe it's a heaping portion of nostalgia goggles bringing me back to being a little kid learning how to read via comics, but I find all the newspaper strips I grew up with really comforting, none more so than C&H

Contrapoints got me on the right track, but I could also imagine Vaush and his edginess being a good foot in the door for some.

Severe abuse by the church made me firmly anti religion for most of my youth, and then meeting religious people of varied faiths who weren't monsters softened my feelings as I realized it wasnt all entirely evil. Then studying some of my family's roots brought me where I am now: vaguely pagan while still acknowledging that I'm always going to be culturally Christian. I like to just tell people I'm a "recovering Catholic" for brevity and a laugh.

As for my social and political views, it was seeing all my friends come out as queer and realizing that I could either keep the far right views my family taught me, or I could learn to get my head out of my ass to keep my found family. Once I started forming my own opinions, I realized I got fed a load of shit my whole life(and also I'd wind up coming out too lmao)

I'm not the same person as I was before I watched(and later read) Annihilation, particularly in how I think about trauma

I rewatched Kung Pow recently and I don't think it's held up as well as I remember, but its still great fun and I continue to quote it constantly.

I spent years in southern Florida and can confidently say that this person has either been beyond sheltered for their entire life until this exact comment section, or they're lying to make a bad faith argument. Most people I met there have the kind of political views you'd expect from someone that likes DeSantis, and will make sure you're very aware of that.
