What's the deal with Forza and the wheel?

I know why people keep bringing it up, to annoy him, but why is he so reluctant to bring it out or even play Forza in the first place? It seems like it would be a good idea for a streamer to do what his audience is asking for, but what do I know, I haven't been streaming for 18 years like Phil has.

Phil is actually my favorite streamer

I've never been much for watching streamers, I'd much rather play the games myself, but there's something about watching Phil fail at games, and beg obscene amounts that is genuinely entertaining. Not that I'd ever give him money or watch one of his streams unedited, but the heaps of detractor streams are very entertaining.

What's a concert or tour you missed out on that you wish you could have gone to?

I have two. I would have loved to go over to Birmingham last year for the final Sabbath show, but I couldn't afford it, and I think the P-Funk Earth tour of 1975 would have been incredible to go to, but it took place 13 years before I was born.

How do I get over the idea that I know what's best for everyone?

I feel like I know what's best for everyone better than they do, and the fact that I don't have control infuriates me, and is really hurting me. It's making me express opinions I don't really believe, and is just generally not good for me. How can I do the third step better.

Did he actually manage to do well at EVO at one point?

I'm relatively new to the lore, and I was baffled as to why he keeps playing Street Fighter, when he's terrible at it, and certainly doesn't seem to enjoy it. Somebody mentioned that he actually managed to do pretty well at an EVO one year, and he's trying to recapture that glory. Is that true? I can't picture it.

Bidithal is the worst

House of Chains is a book full of nasty characters, but Bidithal is easily the worst of all of them. His whole thing seems to be getting off on the act of female genital mutilation, which, somehow, feels even worse than what Mallick Rel did at the end of Deadhouse Gates. I'm assuming the whole point of his character is to make him as despicable as possible, and it definitely worked. If the beginning of House of Chains is supposed to make you hate Karsa Orlong, the ending is supposed to redeem him, and, honestly, I really like Karsa as a character now

Gaming commentators you like?

So, so many gaming YouTubers prey on culture war bullshit, and I absolutely hate those guys. However, I've become a big fan of MugThief, who doesn't seem like a culture war guy, and has pretty good takes I agree with. Watching his video on Mixtape right now, which he doesn't like, and he has a very measured take on why he doesn't like it, and why he thinks it's getting great reviews.

Question about Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters From a Planet Near Mars

Is the joke that the hamsters are from Earth? The planet nearest to Mars is Earth, so they're from Earth, right?

Cool protest album I found

I've seen this album floating around as a bad album cover/what the heck is this thing? curiosity, but it turns out it's actually super cool. And the cover is actually wonderful, in the context of the spokesperson for Florida orange juice in the 70s, Anita Bryant being an anti-LGBT crusader.

Has Weird Al ever endorsed any product?

He's an extremely well respected, and easily recognizable public figure, but, as far as I can remember, he's never used that to endorse any product. And I think that's great. Good on him for never selling out.

Fiji water hotel morons

I've recently been getting an ad on YouTube for Fiji water of all things, where two pairs of asshole young people race through the hallways of a hotel on baggage carts. First off, it's water, it's not supposed to be sexy or exciting, or fun, it's supposed to be the default drink. Second off, I hate commercials like this where wacky spontaneous people cause chaos in a public space. At the end of the commercial one of the pairs shoves the baggage cart down some stairs, without regard for potential damage to the cart or the floor the cart lands on. You just know there's going to be some group of TikTok streamers or something who will see that ad, and decide "Hey, we can do that", and victimize some poor hotel.

Admittedly, I don't have a good feel for how dumb the average teenager is today, but it should be obvious to even the most impressionable youth that Clavicular is lame as fuck, and an idiot. At least I hope so.

I don't have a problem understanding using they/them pronouns, for someone wanting to be gender neutral, and I can kind of get alternatives like Xe/Xer, but I have some friends who use whole other words as pronouns, like mew/mews, and I don't really understand that, but I would like to. I've heard them say that's something they do in queer spaces, where they are more free to be themselves, but I still don't really understand it. Can someone explain these things to me?

▲ 9 r/autism

I have an official diagnosis of autism, but I really struggle with applying it to myself. My symptoms really aren't all that sever, I don't have sensory issues or a whole lot of social difficulties, so I feel like in claiming myself as autistic, I'm taking away from "real" autistic people.

I really like the idea of being agender, being neither male nor female. But at the same time, I understand this is a society based around a binary understanding of gender. I currently identify and present as male, and, if I do change to being agender, plan on continuing to do as such, out of convenience. I would still use he/him pronouns and present as male. My question is that if I do so, would this hurt NB and agender people who are less comfortable taking a side? Because I don't want to weaken the cause of queer people for my own comfort.

For the first 32 years of my life, I assumed I was a straight man, because I knew I wasn't attracted to men like that. I didn't really feel any attraction to women either, other than the supposed crushes I told myself I had, but I assumed that I was going to meet the right woman at some point, and all this sex stuff would finally make sense. A gay friend introduced me to the concept of asexuality in my late 20s, but it took a few more years for me to apply it to myself. Ironically, in embracing my asexuality, I did meet the right woman, and everything does make sense, but not in a way I ever thought possible,
