"Ordinary" neurotypical vs undiagnosed ADHD/ASD

On one hand, it's nice that the comics here are gaining enough traction to "break containment" and introduce others to the show.

On the other hand, the comics are a terrible first introduction because they expect you to have already watched the entire show to get the context (and then there's Owl House: The Next Generation, which also requires you to have read Mark's back catalog to catch up on his additions to the story)

Ayzee is a Noceda-Blight, you really couldn't expect anything different from her. Milan's trust is really sweet though, and some budding Pandora x Jay?

Jay without a sucker in her mouth looks really weird though, it's like when you see someone without their glasses on lol

That would be the now-convicted Sam Bankman-Fried, I imagine

Knowing some Russian/Cyrillic, I beat them to the actual meaning, but was still annoyed I didn't make that jump myself. Though maybe if I had written it down, it would've been more obvious: Kohuept / Концерт.

These are characters from a show called "The Owl House" (note the community we're in). Without saying too much, this takes place around/before the start of the show, before some pretty significant things cause Amity (the green haired one) to change her priorities

Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward...

I mean in the title you said there's drama with "lemmy.zip", but this incident was about startrek.website. Not accusing you of starting a fight, just pointing out a typo

I think you mean there's been some drama with ST.W. I don't think we had anything to do with that

With the caveats that (a) I strongly disagree with their tone/framing and (b) I'm aro/ace with absolutely no qualifications to stand behind on the matter, I honestly actually kinda agree with that idea

The way I see it, the existence of trans/nonbinary and gender non-conforming people create a bit of a gray area that I don't think the contemporary definitions of straight/gay are equipped to handle

If you're a man, you're straight if you're attracted to women. But what about a trans woman? Does it make a difference if she's had bottom surgery? What about an enby who presents fem? What about a femboy who presents more fem than even some cis women you've seen, but still fully identifies as male? What about the opposite, a cis woman who presents strongly masc? At what point does still/not being attracted go from straight to bi? (Again, I've never experienced attraction to anyone regardless of anything, maybe there are actually very obvious answers to these questions, i genuinely don't know. If you think you do know, please share! I'd love to learn more and gain a better perspective on this)

Assuming I'm right the answers to the above questions aren't very clear, I think it's realistic to say everyone is at least a little bi. But, it's not realistic to say everyone should identify as bi. Really anything greater than, say, a 90:10% ratio is enough to still be considered straight/gay for all intents and purposes, at most maybe with a little asterisk. (Although tbh I think we could just do away with gay/straight entirely and just do relative attraction to masculine-/feminine-presentation, from neither to either, but that's probably less realistic in practice)

"God, I can't believe we got through two questions so quickly!"

Wasn't quite that quickly, but turns out Bill was actually on to something there. The group insta-get on the code rain was quite fun too
