Try it.
I said something along the lines of: "I'm sure you're 100% correct all the time in whatever line of work you're in, regardless you're basically predicting the future based on a synoptic set-up. It's nearly impossible to get a forecast 100% accurately. You shouldn't speak on matters in which you know not of."

Morons the same idiots that say "I wish I got paid to be wrong!!" yeah, as if predicting exactly what mother nature will do is such an easy task. I'm sure your menial office job is much more difficult. Morons.

The best thing is that Pekka Pouta, one of our most popular weather presenters, got death threats from people not going to a festival when he presented a rain risk. There never was any rain, and he got some really hideous emails from people who skipped the festival just because of his forecasts.

What a bunch of morons. How hard is it to check the radar yourself to see if rain is on the way? Even if there's a 100% chance of rain, I'm still going to check the radar.

I love 90s hip hop music too (more dark, gritty rap like Wu-Tang Clan though). US-rap declined in this millenium imo, Ill Bill is the only "new" artist I'm frequently listening to.

It just makes the term bisexual meaningless and useless. True bisexuals should object to it because no one would know what they truly are when they say they're bisexual. The hypersexual males who finds the odd guy attractive is not bisexual. He couldn't ever have a meaningful relationship with a guy. Including such a person within the category of bisexual just make the word useless.
The basic terms are fine.

But the point remains why should someone wish to label themselves anyway? If you are a "straight" guy that may fancy some other men, then no not really bisexual. But if he starts playing around with guys, then yes he is.

I just don't get why so many these days are making up silly labels for their own defined sexuality. If I only fancied blonde guys I would still be gay, not blondomosexual And most of these people making up these silly labels are still very young & probably coming to terms still with their true sexualities anyway...
