People hate bi people? Really? But, they're so much fun!
It has been my experience that a lot of people donβt believe bisexual people even exist. Itβs weird.
It's probably more likely that straight people don't even exist. Everyone is a little bit gay.
Careful with that line of thought; it also implies that everyone is a little bit straight.
So that means everyone is either bi or ace?
The point Iβm raising is that itβs dangerously close to telling a lesbian that they βjust havenβt had the right dick yetβ, etc.
I donβt mean to rebuke, either. I made the exact same comment about everyone being a little bit gay when I came out back in high school, and was immediately met with the same response I gave.

I'm straight up envious. Not to the point of hatred, but I'm a little peeved that they get to order from the whole menu.
Unfortunately having the whole menu doesn't mean you actually get to order off there.
Source: myself (oof)
Wait until y'all learn about the secret menu. Next time, ask for animal style.

I've heard both straight and gay people say they wouldn't date a bisexual because they don't trust them not to sleep with someone else of another gender...

In my experience, women think I'm not "manly" and men think I'm confused.
"No, bro, that's a penis. You want vagina. You're just confused because they taste the same"
"No they don't."
"How would you know??? Nobody knows! You're just confused."

Meanwhile arch users don't need a flag, they will just tell you
Selective perception. In a thread where everyone talks about their distro, you'll remember the arch users because of the meme.
I use Arch btw
I do look down on people who like gnome. Does that make me a bigot?
Yes
Still better than liking gnome.
No, gnomes are short, so looking down on them is to be expected.

Edit: The situation is more nuanced than I had been led to believe. This stays for posterity.
Irony. In GTK4 there literally are only two genders: Dark Mode and Light Mode.
Earlier GNOME was much more accepting of alternative window styles.
GTK4 accepts just as many aternative styles as before, you are mixing up GTK4 and members of the GNOME team. The anti-theme drama happened when some GNOME devs (and a bunch of other libadwaita users) made an open letter that asked that people do not distribute their apps with a preinstalled theme. The first versions of the letter were lunatic, sure, but it is just a request. ZorinOS ignores that request and they're doing just fine.
If you put a theme in ~/.config/gtk4/gtk.css, most apps will load it. Note that libadwaita, the widget kit used by GNOME and a lot of other GTK4 apps (but not all of them), no longer considers that changing a CSS class is a breaking change. For this reason, your theme may break when libadwaita updates. Which is a reasonable thing.
Also you need to restart the app for the theme to apply, which wasn't the case before.
Sorry for the rant, this one annoys me because all the specialized medias fell for it. It's a case of a very easily demonstrable fact that gets drowned in stupid Twitter/Phoronix drama.
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1598493 this a well known theme for libadwaita. I don't know if there are others, I would guess so.
https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135&ord=latest and here are a ton of themes for non-libadwaita GTK4 apps. They might break libadwaita apps, I haven't tried any.
And now my computer is all pink and yellow again because I made a theme to reassure myself that I wasn't insane. I do that every few years to make sure I'm not delusional and everyone online is wrong but me.
thank you! every time someone says that I'm like: but i have a theme installed right now πΏ

A foot fetish is one thing, but using Gnome is where I draw the line!
As an unequivocally straight person, my view is:
What the fuck does what somebody else's sexual thing (orientation, identification, desires...) matter to me? As long as it doesn't harm me I'm good. Your freedom stops when it encroaches on mine. And that is bi-directional. If I have a problem with that, it's MY problem to deal with.

π§©The hyper rational autistic response:
Your internal emotions are yours to manage. You have no rights to, or responsibility for other people's emotions.
As such, to respect the agency of every soul's free will, the capacity to self regulate is a grave responsibility every individual has to the collective whole we call society.
Tl;Dr
You should endeavor to be in control of your emotions, not be controlled by them, such that you may prevent hatred from ever spilling out of you and onto others (except perhaps unto agents of evil, but most people cannot tell the difference, safer to just not hate), and such that love is intentionally directed at your fellow neighbors who are abiding by the social contract.

I work with a bunch of huge trumpers, two of whom are (married even) lesbians. They both have somehow arrived at the mental state where they think Republicans are pro-gay and Democrats are anti-gay. If you're expecting these people to see reason, you're going to be disappointed.
Must be difficult either never talking to your party or hiding your true self
They are extremely open lesbians. I just do not get it.
I actually sort of get it: they really hate black people and I guess that trumps all. Pun intended.
98% of the time I wanted to do something, or had a problem I wanted to fix, the cause was Gnome. I hate Gnome. And coincidentally also feet.
Gnome would be good for me as a tablet Desktop Environment, but for desktop I'm hyped up on hyprland.
I use arch btw.

Thats not why I hate gnome
May I offer you a candle in these trying times?
Just discovered that thing myself a couple of days ago, after getting disappointed from Hyprland's handling of multi-monitor setups.
KDE Master Race anyway
It's me, I like gnome.
I'm tired of those crazy people who will suck just the left ball but only while tickling your right armpit while holding a spinning ball...a basketball on one hand and squeezing your butt with the other...and their thumb up your mangina. No! That's s weird fetishist and it has to stop now!
No! Get off me! Its my turn! C'mon! I got the honey and the Sean Connery mask! Hey! Wait! Where are you going!!? The torch is for the wax candles!
I sure am glad nobody I know prefers personality.
