        I still can’t fathom how that one vine got universally accepted as code for lesbians.

          Because it was treated as a reading of historical texts. I haven’t personally looked up if those historical texts are legit but it’s funny to think that historians would disregard lesbian relations by saying they were just friends/roommates

            It wasn’t just lesbian relationships. Pretty much any gay/lesbian relationship when written about by historians calls them roommates or very close friends or some bullshit like that

              I had only seen it in the context of lesbian relationships till now (multiple times, not just a couple of times), and didn’t want to assume.

            That’s it. That’s really all there is. And yet whenever you see posts about women in love there’s always a reference to this one 5 second video. It’s also never in the stories about people’s uncles having a “friend” who lives with them in a one bed flat in the Castro, it’s only ever a wlw thing.

        It genuinely stresses me out that I can’t refer to any of the wireless access points I’m responsible for as WAPs anymore. Damn you Cardi B.

          I just refer to them as AP, as the wireless aspect is implied; A wired AP is called a switch.

        My first mobile phone was a Nokia 3330, a 3310 with WAP, and a pinball game, my parents were not happy with me when I figured out to browse the web on my phone…

            The coolest way I have been on IRC was back in 2011, I had just got my first paycheck from my first job, and I bought the most amazing phone I have ever had, the Nokia E7…

            The fold out qwerty keyboard was amazing, and made the phone look like a tiny laptop.

            It ran Symbian^3 when I got it, but over the short time I owned it (damn pickpockets) I upgraded it to Symbian Anna and later Belle.

            I ran Putty touch on the phone, with the keyboard it was probably the best mobile ssh experience you could have back in the day, as you can imagine I used Putty to connect to a Linux server which ran screen irssi.

            I felt like such a hacker when I sat in a hospital lobby with my E7 running Putty with screen irssi, I had even set up touch gestures, swiping up and down would scroll in the chat log, swiping left and right would change window.

            It remains the coolest mobile phone I have ever had.

              That sounds so awesome. Nokias were dope. It was another time when you could actually own and hack your device

              So it could run an ssh client like putty, but not a native irc client?

                There were absolutely native Symbian IRC clients, the example that would have worked best on the E7 is probably BelleChat, I am confused as to why you thought Symbian couldn’t run an IRC client…

                As to why I never used it, I preferred screen irssi, as that meant I would have a full log of the channels I was active in even when I was not at a computer.

            I was using a third party site for AIM or some other instant messaging service (there were so many competing then) that worked on PSP to chat with my girlfriend into the wee hours of the morning without going over my texting limits. Looking back I have no clue how she was responding so late into the night.

            It was a magical time in the early days of handheld internet connected devices. Wish I spent that time on someone more worthwhile, but that’s youth for you.

    No, definitely a loving symbol.

    PS: I had to explain the tattoo to my cute innocent girlfriend. I think something died inside of her (not me).

        There is also an aggressive bicep. If it’s the US, there are a few states where tattoos are allowed with parental consent.

          Did you feel a lot of parental consent vibe from the OP?

          Here in Australia you can become a ward of the state from the age of 5 and through a series of outdated legal loop holes, the government has to fund you bicep surgery regardless of the gender. The best translation I have is “your right to bear biceps” I think the case cited is usually roo v. wallaby and there is often conflict and debate that the aggressiveness of the bicep must be present. It’s vague as all hell, but anyway.

          Tldr: OP maybe a 6yo sheila.

      it could be a picture of someone with the same tattoo they found on the internet

      but yeah generally when someone is able to get a tattoo without their parents consent they’re probably over 18

      Kinda related I saw a sculpture of Sappho at a Museum last month and it looked like she was so miserable she was going to claw herself to death. I have read some of her poetry and from what I read she seemed like a pretty happy woman. I don’t know exactly what the artist was going for there.

    Is it even possible to trace this back to the person who originally got that tattoo and the person who originally wrote those words, both probably never even knew each other, you know how the internet propagates and twists things
