Haggis, yaaaaaaaaaaas.

I was dubious before I tried it, but haggis is genuinely fuckin' delicious. ~<3

I want to eat haggis some day. It's just that I've never seen one.

Try a british pub, that's where I first tried it.

No brit pubs around here. Maybe in other states, but not in this general area.

Don't try it anywhere except a pub or restaurant over there, I'd say. At best you might be able to find some processed & packaged crap, which would be about like buying frozen breakfast sausage patties and thinking that they're equivalent to a really well-done braut. Not that I think you'd find even that, honestly, which is a shame. Maybe some family-owned restaurant, but that's a shot in the dark at best.

I mean shit though, if you ever get over to Scotland you ought to be eating out every night that you can afford to. For all the jokes about food over there, there's actually a ton of amazing stuff. Places in Scotland now hold my personal record for best fried fish, best meat pie, best pizza, best kebab, best baked potato, and best ice cream, no exaggeration. Just don't try to find fresh fruit or non-cheddar cheese in a Tesco. :V

While we're on the topic of gender (thus making this not quite as much of a derail):

Would it make any sense at all to construct a Kinsey-like gender scale? Something like

Code: [Select]

         4         
      3     5     
   2           6   
1                 7

Where the left is female, the right is male? 7 is hypermasculine (MANLY MAN WHO IS SO TOTALLY MANLY HE HAS TO REMIND YOU EVERY MINUTE), 6 is definitely not agender or trans, but not SUPERMASCULINE, 1 and 2 are similar, 4 is entirely agender, and 3 and 5 are "slightly" gendered but without a way of measuring precisely, pretty much identical to 4 for most intents and purposes?

Or is this just a bunch of nonsense?

gender is almost subjective to the level that a kinsey scale would be, like, however you feel, man

like i personally don't give half a shit but any dumb tests i've done to determine my masculinity/femininity ends up with me as hugely masculine

[Gunner-Chan]

For the love of fuck, please don't bring gender identity/politics into this thread. I don't care if it makes you happy, someone is going to fuck it up for everyone.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalės]

'Kay. No hard feelings. In retrospect, I see how that could be a problem.

Maybe LA would have been a better place for that question.

Spoiler: really bad joke (click to show/hide)

Also, I'm asexual. Why would I do anything for the "love of fuck"?

You fraking left wing progressives.  Go back to the manson compound and have gender-ambiguous sex and leave us non communists to run America.

Like hominy? (Normally inedible field corn softened with lye)

I was thinking more like lutfisk.

SKOL!

It's skål. Why are you bringing schools into this?

"If you could cheaply, reversibly, unintrusively, and easily change your gender to female, would you do it?"

Who wouldn't?

[KingofstarrySkies]

i-i like my penis, thanks

[Dozebôm Lolumzalės]

Yeah, some people are cisgender. I'm not. As an agender person, I would view the "penis or no" question based on how it would affect me (mostly social/cultural stuff) rather than "do I continue to have a floppy part for urination or no".

Of course, some of that could also be because I'm asexual...

Edit: CAN WE TAKE THIS SOMEPLACE ELSE OR GUNNER-CHAN WILL KILL ME

Also, I apparently use the British form of combining punctuation and quotation marks. Neat.

BIG IMPORTANT QUESTION

This is directly relevant to "taking this someplace else."

Would it be a good idea to have a gender/etc. thread, or has it generally crashed and burned?

Also, why does this ([B][I]BIG IMPORTANT QUESTION[/b]) produce this (BIG IMPORTANT QUESTION)? Shouldn't it need another [/i]?

[Tawa]

It has crashed and burned every time. I believe that I started the first containment thread for the topic, and that was the most civil one I remember (it died because I didn't really bother to moderate it and eventually it derailed to talking about racism.) Everything since then has been locked following a big, flametastic argument, which typically ended with at least one mute and on occasion a ban.

It's like My Little Pony and GamerGate. We don't talk about that here anymore.

[Gunner-Chan]

I said not to bring it up in here right? This isn't doing that. Move on.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalės]

That's a shame. It's probably even worse for MLP-watchers and and Gamers of the Gate, whatever that is.

Also, figuring out if there is a way to contain it is... better than doing nothing. At least this way there was a chance of moving it someplace.

Now we have nothing to do but weather out the storm. Or...

I'd been reading the 1001 Nights finally. Fun read, in a world where people break into poetry and Qoranic verses at the drop of a hat and tell stories where the people in those stories are telling stories in a story about a person telling stories so she doesn't get killed. It's also an interesting kind of weird you don't see that often.

Theoretically it's against the rules to "overlap" HTML tags like this:

Code: [Select]

<b>test<i> test </b> test </i> testIt's supposed to be a tree, where the "i" block is a branch of the "b" branch.  Although, here's what it looks like in your browser:
test test test test

It's not supposed to work but it does, at least in this version of Firefox I'm using.  Apparently BBCode actually enforces the nesting properly.

Heehee, this made me smile.
