I like subverting expectations.
"In a better world - WHERE SHE WAS A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY - I'd vote for her."C'mon mate, the subtext wasn't exactly fuckin' buried in the mud there.
Your not-tech-savvy parents had you - someone clearly familiar with Linux - install and set it up for them.It isn't Plug 'n Play for the vast majority of users and you know it.Last time I fiddled with it, I got sent in a several-hour loopdeloop of trying to get the stupid terminal to talk to one specific update server, because many software updates aren't handled as convenient .exes.It's one big reason why I haven't made the swap - I have enough headaches to deal with already.
It's spelled correctly in that screenshot, though. There's only one L. "Wonderful!"
The problem is a transwoman having to use the men's bathroom. Note that you said: "IF you let her". The problem is the people who WILL NOT let her.
@SuperConductorDUDE Aww, deleted your comments? Always so weird how the first ones willing to throw shit can't stick around to face the consequences.~Kick rocks mate. <3
When it's going on for that long? Yes! Yes, absolutely! Whether passive aggressively or outward is beside the point.
Enormous CHASM of a difference between misgendering by accident while attempting to commit it to memory, and continuing deadnaming them for just under 3 consecutive years.
Do they deserve empathy and help? Absolutely, every human deserves that chance.But if they're at that radicalized endpoint, chances are they need to discover it for themselves. And because of that behaviour becoming so vile, and dehumanizing of women, NATURALLY people are going to hate them.Spreading awareness and mental awareness helps a lot, I think. /2
Sad part is that MGTOW and certain "men's circles" (the incel forum mentioned in OP) are gas to the fire.Young men and boys who have - in one way or another - lost self-confidence, or are struggling to find it. That self-fulfilling prophetic mentality of "they're the problem, not you" means that self-reflection, self-awareness, and bettering yourself are actively trampled (even outside the black pill spectrum).Not unlike a cult, it's extremely hard to show someone down that deep the light.
You never HAVE to give a reason. Giving a reason is when both parties are mutual and can - as well-adjusted adults typically do - simply go "okay" and leave it at that, and even that sort of social contract is optional.You especially don't have to give a reason if the family in question is the flesh and blood equivalent to the Elephant's Foot. You don't have to give a reason if you KNOW the response will be frothing rage, guilt-trips, and a spike in your blood pressure.
Nope! Nobody deserves a reason. You're free to give a reason if you wish, but you're never obligated to do so - and ghosting a circus of cunts is plenty justifiable. If you don't want to go to a toxic family meetup, fuck 'em, don't go and save your sanity.
Someone so blatantly flaunting the title of "Legendary Twat" should have already been on my radar, yet I've only just now spotted them.Curious.
Yeah, no, mate. Just don't use slurs.
The problem with it is similar to journalists using the term "underaged women".It's softened corpospeak to deflect from the gravity of the problem, and it's shit.
You're dodging the question. Moreover, you accused the OOP of "blindly labeling" his family rather than "understanding" them. So yes, that reads entirely of tolerating it.
Has it occurred to you that the paradox of tolerance so commonly applies to republican votes that your question is borderline useless?I don't doubt at all that they've tried to talk to their family in the past about it. I also don't doubt my assumptions of what their response would have looked like, no matter the flavor of bigotry, fear, or hatred.
That is a tremendously gross misunderstanding my guy. It's a spectrum. It might be hard to convey or understand, but there is joy for some - liberation, pride, freedom, wellness, happiness, and more - simply in the identity of being trans. It's not a race for everyone, and not everyone has an end goal of becoming a "new cis" as it were!
170 known - huge keyword, KNOWN - legal American citizens are currently detained by ICE. Including children, despite their mothers having legal citizenship. Thousands are on status "whereabouts unknown". It's not hard to find, even looking in internationally mate.
Because the orange turd knows his base thrives off "trample the other, not me".He's been killing low-middle class white Republicans (the majority of said base) in every term, they don't care because they're so brainwashed they'll believe anything that comes out of his mouth, plugging their ears to anyone showing them otherwise.It's anchor logic and cognitive dissonance to a catastrophic degree. All MAGA care about is making people they don't like suffer, even at their own expense.
Except this isn't about overstayed visas. This isn't about due process. This isn't even specifically about homeless vagrants.ICE is disappearing American citizens without due process. Enormous emphasis on disappearing, not just detaining or deporting.Everyone should be outraged.
Nah, clowns are funny. They don't deserve to be lumped in with bad faith actors.
It is, most tellingly by how warped the eyes are.
"guess they were expecting a Rambo figure" Eh, it's the phenomena of being so kneejerkishly against having ANY moments of vulnerability as a man. No tears, no weakness, no struggles. Toxic masculinity is a real bitch - Frodo and his friends are magnificent examples of healthy, supportive relationships and expression!
Which is why so many people cook it out. c:No different to not having raw onions lmao
'Cause it's good for you, funnily enough!The texture can also be a nice change for a one-tone soup or stir-fry.
That's absolutely not what they said, you bad-faith muppet.Two things can be bad at the same time. I know that's hard to parse given the Whataboutism Juice you're chugging.
I'd crack one about you living in Sydney and wondering what you're on, but, you know damn well that's BS - not a single restaurant will serve you medium-rare chicken, and given how much meat we import you'd need to do exactly what every other country already does to try making it that way: buy from a trusted provider.
"Don't post pictures related to the story!!" what is that BS lmfao, get outta here
I weep for your reading comprehension (the gravestone is on its way, free of charge).
