It’s been a while since I read my Human Sexuality textbook but didn’t the Kinsey Scale find that like 15% of each gender (Kinsey only considered 2 at the time) was exclusively straight? So 30% of the total population considered?

Ah shit I think I mistook them for a different one then. There was a revcom one I was reading about but I probably mixed up the names in my head, thanks for telling me. I don’t even need an ML one as long as it’s Marxist but also not Trostkyist.

No judgment from me on this one, we’ve all been there. Turns out a lot of our beloved creators and such growing up were actually horrible people. It’s a neverending process.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to choose a new _lingua franca_, what language would you pick?
4·6 days agoFucked if I know 😂 I’m studying it on my own from textbooks and online resources, not in a classroom setting taught by scholars much much smarter than me. I assume the reduced complexity of simplified characters makes it more accessible though, which is why I understand the PRC makes Pinyin required on road signs as well.

13·6 days agoI’ve been enjoying studying Mandarin. The tones are a bit weird but the grammar seems surprisingly simple, everything can be written pretty universally in pinyin, and Hanzi characters are great for condensing information.

I actually have this one already, it’s good albeit a bit short. Love that it uses actual code in the text rather than a bunch of boolean algebra. Thanks for the recommendation!
