    For sure, but it doesn’t actually matter whether it’s abstract from the outset or has become abstract through technological advance so long as it’s unique and understood. Someone who’s never seen a floppy disk will still learn it quickly, because it’s distinctive.

    I’m going to assume you’re being wilfully ignorant but not trying to be an ass. “Gay” is more often used of men than women, and it’s perhaps more common for people to use “lesbian” for gay women, but it just means homosexual (or sometimes more generally not heterosexual), regardless of sex or gender.

    Cambridge: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same gender or sex”

    Merriam-Webster: “of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex”

    Oxford: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same sex”

    Brittanica: “sexually or romantically attracted to someone who is the same sex”

    Wiktionary: “Possessing sexual and/or romantic attraction towards people one perceives to be the same sex or gender as oneself.”




  • [Funko Fusion] game feels like an off-brand LEGO game in all the worst ways

    I have a bias here because I’ve never understood the appeal of model collecting in general, and of dead-eyed, amorphous Funko Pops in particular, but I am shocked that a cash grab on the back of emotionless, artistically-bereft figurines wasn’t a smash hit.

    Well, not that shocked.
