Well, it's going to be fun trying to come up with a world description for every single planet.
Keep me busy, at least.
I wonder if I should take the fact that I've been procrastinating on flashcards as a sign that I should stop doing them.
It's just... Why do that when wifi is more accessible by far?
It's like how they sometimes did brick-and-mortar events back in Generation 4 (I can't think of any 5th generation event (in North America, anyways) that was brick-and-mortar)
Watching Black Rock Shooter (TV).
The yuri is strong with this one...
I am unable to understand why society treats getting a romantic partner as an obligation, nor do I understand the "possessive" language of relationships. Is that just being aromantic or is there something insidious in that social construct (or both)?
The label of asexuality is confusing. I'd think it would just be having no sex drive, but apparently it's more of a spectrum.
Is this about tournaments or event-specific pokemon? Because I'm much more annoyed at how many pokemon can only be obtained (or are difficult to obtain otherwise) at certain events. I suppose I'll look for a list or something, in case I get back into the games.
Although events not going over wifi is also annoying (Canada rarely got to enjoy them)
Oh, guess who's now getting corrosive applied to his warts?
The only reason I can think of is, "Because reproduction"
It's a romantic ideal of selfessness, basically. I consider it a bit over the top, but I don't think people mean it in any way more than "I'd die for you"
^^^^Sounds like patriarchy leftovers. Or you could read capitalist ideas of people as property into it, if you want to verge into the realm of paranoia.

Oh, you know I read capitalist ideas in everything.
Math exams are in the can. Spring break can't come soon enough. x_x

Goddammit.
Sounds like most of the time folks would just say they're "meh" about things, but these days nobody admits to be plain old boring straight. Which, as I after some thinking admit, kinda makes sense, given how straight these days means either your only purpose in life is fucking, or there's something seriously wrong with you.
Yeah, nobody ever talks about their partner of the opposite gender. That never happens. Nope. Nah.

People don't usually have to directly admit they're straight since it's assumed as default. And of course, it's so often expressed indirectly as Saigyouji points out.
And as for straight implying there's something wrong, seriously. If you tell someone you're not interested in relationships, often they assume you just don't like the opposite sex or something.
It's all those semi-asexuals, kinda asexuals, sort of asexuals that I'm after. There was a fad like this back at 'Tropes, perhaps you remember. I feel like somebody should've pointed out that not having sex doesn't yet make you an asexual.
People aren't divided into binaries. From Wikipedia:
As an emerging identity with a broad definition, there is an enormous amount of variation among people who identify as asexual; for example, asexual-identified individuals who report that they feel sexual attraction but not the inclination to act on it because they have no true desire or need to engage in sexual or even non-sexual activity (cuddling, hand-holding, etc.). Some asexuals participate in sexual activity out of curiosity. Some may masturbate as a solitary form of release, while others do not feel a need to do so. The need or desire for masturbation is commonly referred to as a "sex drive" and is disassociated from sexual attraction and being sexual; asexuals who masturbate generally consider it to be a normal product of the human body and not a sign of latent sexuality, and may not even find it pleasurable. Some asexual men are completely unable to get an erection and sexual activity is completely impossible for them. Asexuals also differ in their feelings towards performing sex acts: some are indifferent and may even have sex for the benefit of a romantic partner, while others are more strongly averse to the idea even though they do not necessarily dislike other people for having sex as long as it does not involve them.
So it's about as useful as any other label. Really, it's just to help people figure themselves out.
Ooookay... I still kinda think that if you're a man, prefer girls, but aren't particularly squicked by the idea of having sex with a man, kinda homosexual isn't the best way to describe yourself. But you know, you do kinda have a point that such a label as we discuss can be convenient.
To change the topic: hey Alex, will you help me piss Miss Anne off? I just ask you to admit the Song of Roland is, at least, just as good a film material as Beowulf.
Re sexuality labels: You have people's own (possibly changing) sexuality as the baseline source of identification, and on top of that, you have people's trying to figure it out (sometimes rather clumsily), some people's experimentation phases (where they "try on" different labels and associated behaviors/thoughts), and people's using labels as tools of social positioning.
What do you mean by possibly changing?
Some people's sexuality is fluid.
Sounded like that idea of choosing one's sexuality.
While most of my Wikipedia edits are small and boring cleanup edits these days, I occasionally delight in some humor.
I just added the following to the article "Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012":
Let's see how long it takes to be reverted.
All of my approval, Glenn.
Nice.
19 minutes, and the guy who undid it admitted that it was hilarious.
19 minutes.
^ DAMN NINJAS. ALL GO DIE. IN A NINJA FIRE. >:<
Funny thing that "disruptive editing" is a redlink.
Should I create the page?
they are here
Also, I unexpectedly came into sixty dollars, so I also just ordered Disappearance on Blu-ray and the second season of Code Geass.
