  1. @mrmattimation yup that tracks. when I came out (almost 10 years ago now dang!) i used the term "pan" because i think it also had an air of "personality over body" or whatever and even now i have friends who will use that term over "bi" when referring to me which is neat i guess, but honestly neither term feels right for me in my dumb head so i sort of just don't call myself anything these days

  3. “Stronger than You” but it’s a Kanye West-produced remix

  4. Which I think in a way contributed to my confusion. The only person I knew personally who used the pan sexual term just used it interchangeably anyway.

  5. @tiff I guess this makes sense. My pan/bi ex used them interchangeably because, in her own words, “bi” was easier for people to understand in casual conversation and “pan” was technically more correct, though she didn’t mind being called either.

  10. citation: me, who has dabbled in both terms and settled on just using "??!?"

  11. @mrmattimation @scribus I think ultimately it's a semantic difference more than anything. some people interpret "bi" as a term that excludes enby/intersex folks but this is obviously not necessarily true - for some people it might just be more convenient as it's pretty widely understood, or it might just sound better to them. "pan" is a more recent prefix to sound more all-encompassing, but this will inevitably be subject to confusion and the same joke over and over. i don't think either term is inherently exclusionary (although i do think most terms for sexuality are clunky and outdated at this point) and it kind of just comes down to what word you prefer the sound/feel of and how you want to present yourself

  12. @mrmattimation I think it'd make more sense to deliberately screw it up and call her Rodan

  13. (Not that I condone using the name “Hussein” disparagingly, it just makes more sense to me as an American who grew up in the 2000s than grapeing “Rodham”.

  14. Using Hillary Rodham Clinton’s full name disparagingly always felt super goofy to me. They didn’t call her that when she was a Senator, or even the First Lady, right? So it feels like a successor to using Obama’s middle name disparagingly, but it just doesn’t work because there wasn’t a terrorist with the name “Rodham”.

  15. @mrmattimation I'm kinda with you, here. Like, shouldn't a Bi at least not be into intersex or enby or something to justify two terms? I feel like Pans are saying "any and all" and Bis are "any and there are only two to choose from." But, I also kinda think that clearly can't be right? I dunno...

  16. @mrmattimation But yeah, it does do a good job of not tasting like energy drink. I remember there being a Red Bull Cola like fifteen years back that tasted like alkaline butt.

  18. Time for me to be a big boy and come out and admit that I don’t know the difference between bisexuals and pansexuals. I have heard each definition. My brain can not comprehend a difference.

  23. I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for months and I never tried the online mode. A friend got the game last week so I booted it up today. Was way more fun than I thought it would be. We ended up playing for three hours, accomplishing absolutely nothing but still having a blast.

  25. I wrote up an employee last night without giving my boss a heads up first, which I’m normally super hesitant to do. The guy’s a total prick and he’s been nasty to me and several customers for weeks now and I got sick of it, so I filled out the form. I came in today to learn, of course, that my boss threw it away.... because mine actually wasn’t harsh enough. He wrote his own that was waaaay more detailed.

  29. Watched episode 3 of Thundercats Roar. The animation is sometimes very involved and springy but the whole random humor just doesn't fit with me.
