Yeah, I was just trying to point out the absurdity of trying to assign gender to either of them.

Most bees people think of are worker or queen bees (female) while the birds people tend to picture are bright and colorful (males) or the songs (also typically males). On the other hand people associate birds and egg laying (so I suppose femaleish) and bees have a stinger that could symbolize a penis (though if you have a barbed and venomous penis please stay far away from me).

So I vote you pick based solely on vibes instead of gender. Hell, I vote we take it a step further and stop gendering bathrooms at all. Just put random unrelated symbols and people can pick which they like. So like one with a book, the other with cheese. Or whatever else you want. Make it a big poop related social experiment.

Male bees don't have stingers though...

I mostly agree with this. Your word choice doesn't have to be 'perfect' by some random definition of that. When a friend makes a request like yours did, as long as it seems reasonable, then I think its worth putting an effort into accommodating it however.

I tend to not be overly concerned with how random strangers think I should speak, but I want those around me that I care about to feel heard and cared about.

But...baklava...

I thought they typically used the sound of the red tailed hawk?

I don't even need AI to put him through a woodchipper.

I guess I might just not be as sensitive to lag. Though I Also don't play a ton of games that would be highly sensitive to issues with lag. Maybe I'll try turning it off on some things and see if I notice a lag difference. Thanks for the response.

I'm really curious why you would turn vsync off. I know in competitive gaming it can possibly be a detriment, but aside from a very tiny amount of delay what is the downside?

One has very recent memories of violently opposing a colonial oppressor, the other has memories of being violently opposed...

Only for a bit, then they won't feel anything.

I feel a little bad about laughing at that

Oh, I hadn't heard they were being dissolved.
