ugh i hate this picture they are stealing the gay from me and keeping it all for themselves why can’t i have some

was so confused by the arrows until i realized? they’re not representing vectors or gradients or mathy stuff they’re just pointing to the text

i remember when i was five on the top floor of a parking garage i touched the solar roof on my great-great granpappy’s fisker karma and got a nasty shock. Shocked the gay right out of me. But then i touched some exposed wiring on one of the tall lampposts and that turned me Bi so who’s laughin now gramps

coincidentally, the lamppost then also fell into his car, and he renounced his commitment to the environment and bought a Hummer h2 with his fat insurance payout

Thanks for the info. I suppose calling someone else a “degen” or similar would be in poor taste in many situations, given that it is often used by people in a derogatory manner anyhow. But the most common usage I see is members of esoteric communities calling themselves that, like Linux ricers or hardcore gamers or cyclists who “under-bike” (using a bike clearly under-equipped for the task at hand). This tongue-in-cheek use of “degeneracy” feels almost endearing to me, like self-deprecating humor

I hope I never see someone using the term in a truly derogatory way, and certainly hope the number is Nazis stays small compared to what I’ve seen. I don’t think it makes sense to stop using the word just because they use it, since that would just enable them to take whatever words they want.

I may not be the most terminally online person out there, but this is the first time I’ve seen anybody refer to “degen” as nazin terminology. I googled it and it’s all referring to gamblers and late night gamers and perverts. If they ever claimed the word, it doesn’t belong to them anymore.
