Chan because it would be rude not to tho

I swear I thought it was a bass pro shop trans pride flag

Colorado didn’t declare every state is required to take it off. It decided to take his name off their ballot. I don’t get the argument. It’s true if enough states do it it has a national outcome but so what? That is deciding it nationally. States decide how to run their own elections, I don’t know why states rights aren’t being claimed here given how popular that move usually is lol.

But olives are delicious

Interesting comparison!

I think the way we talk about gender and sex are very ambiguous because the term gender is overloaded to the tits.

I think it’s more accurate to think of gender identity and gender roles as completely separate concepts that shouldn’t even share terminology.

Gender identity is like the sex of your brain, which can either be male or female or ambiguous / neither. Sexual dimorphism of the human brain has been observed and it’s been observed that trans people’s brains match their understanding of their own gender identity more closely than what they were assigned at birth. So with that knowledge we can assume that someone can be “male brained” or “female brained” in as far as gender identity (or gender “map”)

Then you have “sex” which when used in the traditional sense is your external sex (male, female, ambiguous / neither).

Then you have gender expression / roles, which to me is where the weasel words start to slip in. Gender expression is how one virtue signals to the rest of their tribe they are their brain (and maybe body) sex. This is somewhat personal and somewhat social, because we ultimately decide how we want to behave in the world so the world sees us for who we believe ourselves to be.

Gender roles are the rules society creates that you’re supposed to follow so everyone is playing with the same deck when it comes to understanding what you are supposed to virtue signal and what you are supposed to presume when receiving that signal.

Gender roles are 100% fake in that they’re arbitrary and if they provide no net gain we can eliminate them. But gender is 100% real in that many people do experience strongly being their gender identity. If gender was totally fake trans people wouldn’t exist. So you have to be precise about in what ways you mean something like “gender is fake just abolish gender roles and everyone’s happy” because it’s definitely used to invalidate trans people and that’s not very cash money.

Should he take the deal, Weisselberg would admit to committing perjury during his October testimony in the fraud trial. In exchange, he would not have to be a witness against Trump in the hush-money trial, which is scheduled for March.

I will caveat that I’m not familiar with the case details at all, but my reading of that suggests that because of the deal he will not be testifying against trump, not that he will have to as part of the deal.

Tl;DR: a key witness that was set to testify against trump in his hush money case might not testify because of a separate deal for his possible perjury

Susie Meyerson is very disappointed in you

It’s also only the largest plurality because it’s the default bucket. When you lump religious vs non religious the picture is very different

I demand the government force this private company to provide me free speech.

That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.

Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.

Thank you. Everyone is very calm lol

Right… they claim hosting it is a violation of their TOS, but I’m not one of their customers. How can I violate their TOS if I don’t even use their product.

I can’t stand for this protest, it’s so gd cynical.

The only cause I can support is “everyone sucks including me”

The problem with this comment is some people could say this word for word with zero irony lol

That kind of log floating behind ships was where the term log comes from. They’d throw them overboard and let them drift out over some interval and they’d mark down “log took 30 seconds to drift out to end of rope” to determine their speed.

Not that I support it but does anyone know why Putin doesn’t just have this guy killed? Putin has lots of people killed and I feel like I’ve been hearing about this guys imprisonment for years. It’s surprising he’s kept alive in prison indefinitely rather than added to the pile. Is the fear it would trigger a bigger movement / martyr him?

Beyond backwards, it is. Completely misleading too.

He is being urged to testify not doing the urging
