tumblr lets you create sideblogs that are attached to your main account, so you don't need to have multiple emails -- unless you absolutely want them to be separate, so you can like things etc.

but who even wants email notifications lol

I feel that way about The Unraveling and Siren Song. I go back and forth in my estimations of Sufferer, there are great tracks on there but some I could just sort of do without.

Historia Calamitatum by Rise Against

Just saw the finale!

Spoiler

Not surprised about the Frank reveal, to be honest. I've spent the entire time watching the show talking about how shady Frank is and how much I dislike him -- it was an interesting play to have Sam, like, stroking Lila's neck and then show Frank strangling her, but still no big shock.

Frank killing Rebecca, however... holy ****. And that Annalise seemingly sanctioned it! I have no idea where that'll go. Wes absolutely won't be cool with it when he inevitably finds out. I can't say I'm terribly upset because Rebecca was, frankly, always ****ing things up but jesus. Also excited to see how they get Nate off.

Survive by Rise Against

I shirk my obligations, I miss all your deadlines,
I excel at quitting early and ****ing up my life.

gooooood I remember when Sufferer first came out I was like, understandably pumped, and this song was my ****ing jam. Still probably my favorite on the album, though Chamber the Cartridge is a close second.

She pops in and out of here, don't think she's ever formally left v:

I absolutely love the instrumental tracks in Pocahontas. Like most Disney soundtracks, the melodies of the sung tracks are reprised within them, but there's something really special and emotional about it for me in Pocahontas. They have powerful tracks, like Listen With Your Heart II, and then the more subtle, orchestral ones (like Farewell) but it's just all really golden and compliments the movie so, so well.

Pocahontas is my favorite Disney movie so I probably do sound biased but I think the music is a big part of that -- along with the stellar animation, I think it just has such a strong atmosphere. Mulan does get an honorable (heh) mention, though, especially for the song that plays during the opening credits (which, mysteriously, is not on the soundtrack...).

Great Awakening by Rise Against

This could be my great awakening,
but how would I know?
'Cause it's all noise to me.
(Nothing I can do will make you hear.)

Limousine (MS Rebridge) by Brand New

Beauty supreme,
Yeah, you were right about me.
But can I get myself back from underneath this guilt that will crush me?
And in the choir, I saw our sad Messiah,
He was bored and tired of my laments,
said "I died for you one time but never again."
Never again, never again, never again...
I love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.

one of my fave album covers ever. and albums tbh

You should now be able to do Soundcloud embeds! I've redone the code myself, previously we were using a version found on the XF resource site that just wasn't working properly. It works like other media embeds, where you need only paste in the link and it'll auto-embed when you submit the post. Here's what it looks like:



The BBCode it parses into is as follows:

Code:

[MEDIA=soundcloud]adventure-time-official/adventure-time-version[/MEDIA]

Old Soundcloud embeds might be broken right now, so I'll sweep through and update them.

Edit Also, if anyone is curious, the player uses HTML5 and should work well on mobile devices/smaller screen sizes.

Glycerine by Bush

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time.
Are you that one, or do you lie?
We live in a wheel where everyone steals,
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields.
If I treated you bad, you bruised my face;
Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste.

a classic

I actually think them doing this is quite clever! Obviously it would be pricey for them to fill their displays with actual game boxart (and distracting, since you're supposed to be looking at the furniture), but it's also silly to not include clutter in their models, so they go for these -- they call to actual games but simplify their art so as not to distract. Their books are quite interesting too, they're often Swedish cookbooks.

The one by me also fills their closets with clothes from H&M, probably because there's one right next door to it.

Yeah Soundcloud embeds have been shoddy for ages, when they work they constantly throw server errors. I haven't gotten around to looking at the embed code, but I'll disable it for now so that it'll just display a link (and you'll be able to edit your post).

Well that's the idea behind having it as a field you can type in rather than a radio select. If someone isn't comfortable putting something more specific than "male," for whatever their reasons are, they can absolutely continue to simply use male. I said before that's a reason I felt it important to keep male/female on the autocomplete list, if for example a trans woman doesn't wish to publicly state she's trans but still wants to list herself as female -- she can, and nobody will bat an eye. The list I posted was for auto complete suggestions -- not sure if I made that clear. If someone's gender identity isn't included on the list and they suggest its addition down the line, it's quite easy to add.

The nice thing about the way @libregkd has gone about this is there's zero disruption to most users. We install the add-on he created and your existing Gender is placed in the field; if you don't wish to change it or make it more specific, you don't have to. If your Gender is currently Unspecified, the field is left blank and it won't appear places. However, it still allows people to be more specific, have a more accurate gender identity, and makes KHV more inclusive.

I've listened to the live performance of this song so much that it grows difficult to listen to the album version; the beatboxer adds so, so much to the atmosphere of the song -- yet retains its somber overtone. love it

you can do a lot in three and a half hours ;)



like watch a lord of the rings movie

I was hoping to not really get into this here, as it's probably a topic better suited to Discussion and sort of derails the conversation from the gender field onto larger issues; however, I also recognize that it's probably not an opinion that only Arch is holding and thus probably deserves to be addressed. I'll also start out with the enormous disclaimer that I am cisgender and therefore no sort of authority on these matters; if I post any misinformation or misconceptions, I apologize and encourage others to correct me.

The argument behind asking people who identify as their assigned sex to use the term "cisgender male" instead of "male" (or female) is that not doing so 'others' other gender identities. In a way it's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable, or at least, we live in a society where it will make you uncomfortable. But that discomfort pales in comparison to how it feels to, for example, constantly have to identify yourself as a transgender man. It's a privilege for you to be able to go through your life simply identifying as male and not having to prefix it with an adjective. Not using 'cisgender' implies that anything other than it is abnormal. Is cis considered the default in our society? Yes, it is, in the same way that heterosexuality is -- that does not make it okay, and identifying as cisgender rather than simply as male is a small way to defeat that normative.

Furthermore, it's somewhat of an educational tool. Getting people like you, who have never had to identify their gender, to use the term cis opens them to the world of gender identity. I think it's important to leave Male and Female as options if, for example, a transgender woman obviously would like to identify as a woman, but does not wish to be out publicly as trans, whatever her reasons may be.

On the note of the term, I'm sorry if it sounds "weird" to you but I hardly think that's a compelling reason not to use it. More importantly, it's not a word that anyone pulled out of their ass. It originates from the Latin prefix cis-, which means "to/this the near side." Given that your username is also a Latin word (though I believe it originally derives from Greek), I imagine that you're down to clown with Latin.

Many of these terms absolutely have overlap, and I cannot pretend to know why a person would prefer one over the other. That they find a distinguishing factor, or that one simply feels or sounds better to them, is reason enough for them to be able to select one and not the other.

Two-spirit is a culturally distinct Native American term and is documented within many Native American tribes. It's considered appropriation for non-Native American people to identify as two-spirit. It's about as hippy dippy as warbonnets.

You're basically saying that you think it's okay to erase a person's identity as well as creating a false equivalence between sex and gender. They're different terms for a reason. On most parts of the internet (this site, at least), and probably most of the time in your actual life, it's frankly none of your business what is and isn't between other people's legs -- and that is all sex describes. It's a scientific term. When we begin to place that in a social / civilized context, we use gender because that term covers the person's sociological identity rather than their biological. Consider a trans man who has not had sex reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy -- does that mean you're going to continue calling and considering them a woman, because sexually, they still are? To draw a comparison to sexuality, as I can use a personal example there and therefore speak with more authority: I'm bisexual. If I am never with a woman, romantically or sexually, get married to a guy and stay with him for the rest of my life, does that make me not bisexual?

Language is one of our primary tools for communicating with one another, for starters, and that goes even more so on the internet, where it's often all we have. It is a privilege of yours to not have to care about labels or pronouns, but they mean a hell of a lot. A number of cases of trans teens committing suicide have gained media recognition recently, one of which was a dear friend of a member here. Almost all of them have cited being routinely misgendered and having their gender identity ignored as one of the major reasons, if not the, behind their suicide. Be aware that you are contributing to that, and stop.


Ultimately if it means so much to you and you think I'm (and everyone in this thread) is full of ****, you can go ahead and fill the field in as 'Male'. The only difference to you is that you now have to hit four keys on your keyboard rather than click with your mouse. But I urge you to get informed and stop being part of the problem here... and one that we're absolutely going to put effort into correcting on KH-Vids. Any site on the internet, or space in the world, should aim to create a comfortable and inclusive environment -- and as privileged people, we must put effort towards that.

This is unrelated. I never provide ETAs.

I debate on leaving the simple male/female options, honestly. I pulled the list from an unrelated thing I was working from that had a "check all that apply" gender question. With the field, I will probably either find a page that explains gender identity or give an explanation myself. You should read up in these if you don't know what they mean, particularly on being cisgender as that's what you are considered.

@libregkd has been working on this and seems to be having success (if he doesn't mind me saying lol). How it looks now is that we'll be doing something similar to Facebook, as I said -- you'll have a blank field you can use to fill in your gender identity, and autocomplete options will appear with suggestions (which you don't have to use if you don't feel they accurately describe you). We're working on a list to use for those autocomplete suggestions, but because I am cis I think it best to open the list up to the people of KHV to look over. Here's what I have so far:

• Agender / Genderless
• Androgynous
• Bigender
• Cisgender Male
• Cisfender Female
• Genderfluid
• Genderqueer
• Male
• Non-binary
• Third gender
• Transgender Male
• Transgender Female
• Two Spirit
• Female
• Questioning
• Unspecified

Please feel free to suggest things to add or remove, as well as any changes to what I have -- even if they're minor.

Because gender currently appears in your message user info (the little block beside your posts with your username, avatar, message count, etc.), the value you fill in will be listed there. I have a neat idea for listing pronouns with that as well, but we'll wait for the gender field to be done first.

Edit: Allowing fill-in options on both gender and pronoun fields obviously opens things for abuse or people joking around with it, but I feel that's a small price to pay for having more inclusive systems here. I do urge everyone, especially cis people, to take things seriously (and want to add that people already mess about with the gender field).

It's an issue with how XenForo handles name changes. For users that post a lot, like a lot of messages, etc., name changes are more intensive because there is more to be updated. XenForo has a run deferred system that will process things in steps, thus preventing time outs, but it currently is not used for name changes.
