    Default Anonymouswizard's Random Banter #227 and Free Cup of Tea

    Good evening esteemed posters, and welcome to the two hundred and twenty seventh incarnation of the random banter thread. This is the place to come to discuss that which is on your minds, especially those thoughts of a more chaotic bent.

    So please grab your drinks, take your seats, ad help yourself to a biscuit (real world drinks and biscuits not included), as we get down to the discussion.

    Rules of conversation are, as ever, as follows:

    1. Spam: We are glad to see you enjoy this place but please don't crowd it with one word reply or *actions like this*. A quick reply may feel nice, but a quality post is friendlier.

    2. It's good that you enjoy the Play by Post forum, the Silly Message Board Games or other places around here, but good friends know to keep things that don't mix separate. So please, avoid continuous roleplay or battles for "taking control of the universe" (who would want that?) even if they are a ton of fun.

    3. In fact, if it's already a thread don't bring it to Random Banter unless it's off-topic for that thread but not enough to be its own thread and on-topic for Random Banter. That wouldn't be nice for the people talking in that thread.

    4. We are all glad you enjoy other threads but please don't advertise them in Random Banter.

    5. It's nice to know you are back but don't just post to broadcast your status as in: "I'm back." Tell us more, we all like a story.

    6. Don't post just to get the thread moving faster, or say something we all know like "the thread is moving fast today." It moves when someone feels like saying something. We're not in a rush.

    7. Friends are good fun together, but there's no worse buzzkill than someone demanding to be entertained. If you want this thread to be funny, make a joke!

    8. If you're not sure what we are talking about, you can just read a few posts up to find out. We all love answering questions but making people explain or repeat themselves isn't appreciated.

    9. The thread creator has to include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread # in the title. It would also be nice to be concise.

    10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences with Subject and Predicate. But don't stress too much over grammar, as long as you try to be understandable I am sure your old English teacher would be proud.

    11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a nice back and forth with one friend (and who wouldn't?), you can find the necessary IM details in their contact information.

    12. The administrators will delete all "first post" and "first page" and other such posts. They don't enjoy doing this, so be good friends and don't make them.

    13. We are all friends here. Except for double-posting; they are not nice at all. The edit button, however, is a very reliable friend.

    14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must let fifty other posters have their turn befor you can go again. Isn't it nicer when everyone can have fun?

    15. Please don't call dibs on the next thread. It would be mean to your friends to make them wait if the thread hits fifty pages while you are asleep.

    Well sure. I'm not bad at noticing when I mess up, usually I'm to good, actually, and I end up constantly remembering that time four yeas ago when I did or said something that I'm certain is a sign that all of my friends are actually just pretending to like be and that actually- blah blah blah. It's... ugh.

    The reason I say so much stupid stuff is because I always feel like I need to contribute something funny, or clever, but I'm not actually that funny or clever. Even though I'm aware of this fact, its effect on my behavior has been basically that I'll still say the same amount of useless garbage, and then I'll make a joke about how everything I have to say is just useless garbage and it's all just... exhausting.

    Heavy discussion, introspection, and commenting on the ability (or, rather, lack thereof) to change our bodies like avatars. Also guessing game. We now return to our session in progress.

    Completely understandable, I get that sometimes too.

    The first thing you need to do is kill that immediate reaction to be self-deprecating. It's hard to do, but once you stop getting distracted or hurt by your own self, you'll start to get a clearer picture of things.

    Is that your final guess?

    (Also, yes, it very much matters the art when it comes to determining how things age.)

    How about this: "I prefer to date cis-woman." There nothing transphobic about that statement right?

    A better definition would be 'a person who identifies and presents as the gender that doctors assigned them at birth'.

    I'm ignoring intersex people because the world hasn't decided how to deal with recording their gender, although I have one friend who's birth certificate doesn't specify their gender (although they do have an official gender, because apparently that's important for some reason). I'm also ignoring other parts of gender theory to reduce this to a cis/not cis binary, and this could all get really complicated.

    I'm off to bed before I start insisting that all birth certificates should list gender as 'magic 8 ball'*.

    Well call my luck bad because if there's one thing I like, it's breaking gender.

    Well, actually, we're talking trans, cis and non-binary people,none of whom are necessarily homosexual. While trans people are considered a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, the more broad term for all of the community would be queer.

    And also, we don't have to talk about homosexuality, but homosexuals are cool and very gay, so I personally am up for that conversation. If you'd like, you can talk about something else though.

    People can enjoy the aesthetics of things that they don't necessarily identify with. It's strange. People question gender, but they don't question "why is your avatar a wizard if you aren't one?" or "why is your avatar an elf when you aren't one" or whatever.

    A lot of discussion is around personal experience, and for some of us personal experience is pretty gay...

    Also, hi new thread. I was told that I could get a free cup of tea?

    I didn't say that homosexuals we're inferior. Those are your words. I only prefer to date with different gender which I'm not really attracted to my same gender.

    Hey man, I think you're alright. At worst, I still think it's pretty clear that you mean well.

    I agree. My assessment of Bartmanhomer is that he really does try to be nice, but I don't think he understands this subject very well, and he sometimes isn't very tactful about things?

    Although I have no serious complaints, he is wonderful, and a gift upon this forum.
