I Just Don’t See Trans Women As Women

I just can’t wrap my head around it. They want to be called and seen woman, but they have to get bottom surgery. Take hormone pills, all these excessive stuff to be a woman. They don’t have menstrual cycles nor can they carry a child. Why can’t they just be happy being a male and just wear feminine clothes? Like a femboy...

Having to be OK with them going into our bathrooms, not knowing if they could be a predator or not

Let me ask you something. You just outlined how much time, money and effort someone has to put into trying to transition. Hormone pills (and all of the problems that come with that), a change of wardrobe, a change in how they’re asking people to view and refer to them… Dealing with people like you, who look down on them for trying it… Hate from far right groups, persecution from some governments… General social stigma…

Do you really think someone is going to go through all of that, and more that you haven’t even covered here, just so they can walk into a women’s room to… do whatever it is you’re afraid they’re doing? Really? I think the chances are better that any random woman you run into in the bathroom is a predator, honestly.

That’s not what I asked you, though.

That’s really not a bad price at all for 20 boneless wings… (The price he originally paid, not what he’s trying to sell now.)

KoboldCoterie,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

They’re closer to small chicken strips… It’s at least all breast meat, whereas nuggets are just… whatever gets processed in there. That said, at least where I live, you certainly can’t get 20 for $16.99. (‘Boneless wings’ are more expensive than ‘actual’ wings with bones, here - is that not the same where you live?)

KoboldCoterie,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

To each their own, I guess. Local place here preps them the same as wings with bones, but you get much more meat on them.

That said, I did make about an 800% return by investing (a small amount) in Dogecoin immediately after he tweeted that it was his favorite cryptocurrency that one time. Figured his fan club would pump it, and boy did they. I got it at about $0.05 and sold out at $0.40, believe it peaked at $0.58 or so. Wish I’d wagered more than the $250 I did on it.

Hey, that’s rad. I also have aphantasia, and found out about it from a post on Lemmy, of all places. Legitimately thought I was being pranked until I started asking some real life friends about their mental images. It was like being told that actually, the TV I think I’m watching is just a radio broadcast, and everyone else’s is much cooler.

Article version (from video description) for folks (like me) who are interested but who don’t want to watch a video.

Haven’t Palestinians been through enough? You’d make them clean up Lyndsey Graham, too?

Absolutely. 😄

This is just asking for a new law declaring dying in prison punishable by life in prison.

Can you maybe provide some links to examples? I haven’t seen any of this.

Hopefully enough of our legacy survives that some future civilization’s archaeologists can sift through the vestiges of our history and learn an important lesson about the dangers of unfettered capitalism from the story of our downfall.

Any time I see something like this, I can only assume that the only thing the author knows about liberal ideology is gender politics, and that they think that that’s the entire portfolio, and yet somehow feels strongly enough about gender-related issues that they still spend their time being vocally opposed to it. It’s really kind of baffling.

Unless I missed something major here, I don’t think the Israeli contestant was personally involved in genocide, and certainly as not involved in genocide on the set of the show, whereas the Dutch contestant was allegedly involved in backstage on-set misconduct, so that seems completely reasonable?

KoboldCoterie,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

It has no bearing that the contestant personally didn’t do anything. They banned Russia from participating for the actions of a state.

Sure, and drawing comparisons between those two events is completely fair, but I don’t really see where the parallels lie between that event and what is happening to Klein.

So, the Raccoon will initially seem very good until the first gym where he gets 1-shot by Onyx? Oh. That doesn’t seem so good at all. I guess we should have chosen the Squirtle analogue.

KoboldCoterie,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Fair enough. I might be sightly biased as well because when playing the originals, I had Blue while my best friend at the time had Red, we each chose the respective starters, and I’ve just stuck with that and taken the water starter in every game since, despite them often being a sub-optimal choice. That said, Mudkip is one of if not the strongest starter choice in any pokemon game, so it has served me well enough.

I’d like to submit a recommendation for making your own, instead!

Probably unpopular opinion, but I think these types of protests are actually pretty effective. They make news headlines every time, and people talk about them, and they aren’t hurting anyone… I just feel like they could be more efficient at delivering their message. It seems like “They’re trying to destroy things!” shocks people more than “We’re destroying the entire world while we ignore climate change!”, and drawing attention to that, and how none of these works of art or historical relics really matter in the face of what’s coming if we don’t change course, would draw a more apt parallel between what they’re doing and the message they’re trying to convey.

I have been watching the Prince of Persia game, but I would absolutely have glazed right over its release while entranced by Hades II, so yes, I agree with you, it’s a very smart decision on their part.

(Also, can I just say, holy shit is Hades II some good value. It’s basically two games worth of content in one. More than twice the size of Hades I. Utter insanity.)

Oh, no! I only have 7 hours until I have to get up! I’ll be too tired tomorrow and have an awful day! I really hope I don’t have trouble falling asleep because I’m stressed about that, then wake up every hour in a cold sweat because I’m dreaming I missed the appointment!

I work at a company whose entire business model is providing QA to other companies. I work directly with some very large, public companies, and some smaller ones. Almost all of them have some form of dedicated in-house QA, which we supplement.
