Lafari, (edited ) in Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?

Then may I propose a neologism: “Homosexualism” or “Homosexism” (discrimination of homosexual people)? Or alternatively “FOHO” (fear of homosexuality)? It would be interesting if another word already existed though.

140k lets me start getting ahead properly and even start thinking about retirement.

The word homophobia already does mean a hatred of, not simply a fear of.

I don’t have an answer, I just wanted to say it blew my mind that I never thought about this

DirigibleProtein, in What physical features do you find attractive on a person that would be considered unattractive by your culture's beauty standards?

Pointy chins. I have no idea where it came from or why.

andrewf, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

Yes. The lizard people engineered us that way.

andrewf, in What movies would you make if you had an AGI that could make any kind of media on demand?

An adaptation of the Wheel of Time book series that doesn’t actively invert the characters and themes in service to a boring, schizophrenic mess.

andrewf, in What salary do you think would make you happy?

I eat a lot of french fries. So maybe about 50lbs annually.

andrewf, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

When I was a kid, we had a drink called “suicide punch”. You mix equal parts of every drink in the fountain.

It is definitely not that.

andrewf, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Cheerwine.

(Despite the name, it’s non-alcoholic.)

doubletwist, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

A rarity, but Maine Root has(had?) a drink called “Pink Drink”, a carbonated Prickly Pear Lemonade. I had it at the Austin City Limits festival. It was, without a doubt the most refreshing drink I’ve ever consumed. I usually drink mostly water (free) at the festival, but that year we spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $60-80 just on cups of Pink Drink because we couldn’t get enough of it.

I really, really, REALLY wish they sold bottles of it, but as far as I can tell, it’s only occasionally available and only as a fountain drink.
