Had it on mute, thanks, yes it is 😂

I generally find rice or potatoes most filling, so I plan meals around those. Jacket potatoes are amazing with almost anything (and plenty of cheese). Curries are great on both (and are a great vehicle for tons of veg), but flavoured rice with beans or lentils (mejadra) are a really filling side to meat/substitute/roast veg (or even on its own, though a little boring). Less healthy but filling is the classic (veggie) burger/sausages-chips-beans (of the baked variety) combo. Make a simple salad to go with it to make it more "healthy" (my go to is sweetcorn and red jalapenos with simple dressing, or store bought coleslaw).

I'm disabled so prep and cooking are a lot for me, so I mostly use frozen and tinned products which a lot of people discount as a bad choice, but find a way to flavour them nicely and they're super versatile (and still perfectly nutritious).

Hey, thanks, I appreciate that! Whenever I see you around we generally agree, so right back at ya 😊

Your game sounds like a lot of fun!

As a kid I mostly played on my own (explained in adulthood with an autism diagnosis), but I did have a friend I would watch clouds with and we made up an ongoing story to go with what we would see. We also made "magic potions" from all of our parents cosmetics lol

At school we had the normal one group takes a high ground, the other is bellow, and everyone is throwing sticks and acorns and other plant matter at each other without any clear goal (to me, anyway), but I would back out of those pretty quickly haha

I did have a group of supposed friends start a d&d game once but even at the point of creating a character, every suggestion I made was mocked, and it was clear they didn't want me there, so I didn't go back which sucks, because I think I would have really enjoyed it (d&d in general, definitely not with them though)..

Cat's gotta eat.. ¯(ツ)/¯

“Whats up dude”-gender neutral

no, it isn't

Everyone can be a dude.

not everyone fucking wants to be

Context is important.

yes, which means you do recognise that the term isn't "neutral" and therefore can and should, at the very least

make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don’t like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

as op suggests.

I'm shit at noticing what instances people are from, but if there is one specific one targeting posts here it might be worth letting the mods know? I also wonder if the deleted comments were deleted by the mod team? Though it wouldn't surprise me if your guess about them deleting for lack of attention is the correct one lol

Either way, I try my best to avoid getting dragged in to "debate" with these people, because there is no good faith and it almost never leads anywhere, but what I will do is call their shit out then block, let them yell in to the void lol

Except smoking for 30 and getting cancer is in no way comparable to exploiting and completely depending on others' labour to amass wealth and power, only to claim yourself "independent" once you made it.

I would also argue that the one who created the post in his defence is the one in the so called "frenzy", not the people responding to your prompt with a reality check lol

Only the person who assembles your car doesn't have massive fame and fortune, which you contribute to by not only paying for their work, but not speaking out against whatever abhorrent thing they did you're choosing to overlook (while an assembly person isn't the one profiting from the sale of the car they built, nor do they have any power or reputation that lets them get away with whatever they want) to facilitate them continuing to abuse others.

Sounds like Ayn Rand, and about as credible lol...

What op said, but also
spinny bowtie lol

Good job getting some nasty assholes to out themselves and get blocked...

Here's a news flash: if you pride yourself on refusing to show basic respect to other people - you're not brave or rebellious or special, you're just a piece of shit (and specifically in this case upholding the status quo and actively participating in its systems of oppression) it's as simple as that. ¯(ツ)/¯

And thinking that inclusion is about offence, and refusing to not be a shit to people either way, makes you at the very least, a wilfully ignorant ass..

Ew

Off the top of my head - comrade, friend, stranger.. If you're more familiar and are comfortable to use them (not an old fogey like me) fam, cuz. E: also sib, as in "sibling".
I'm sure there are others too..

The only person lusting after anything is you, lusting after trans people remaining passive targets, and transphobes in power who are actively and openly lusting to eliminate trans people from existence.

What everyone here is doing is showing appreciation to a supportive father who understands that their child, being trans, will almost certainly need to defend themselves from that.

I recommend reading the tolerance paradox, and then maybe some history, which will teach you (if you pay any attention at all) that no oppressed people has EVER gained their freedom "peacefully", and that you demanding it is not only the epitome of privilege, but an active support of those looking to do the eliminating.

The frustration that we feel over bigotry can be expressed in so many ways. We don’t need to rely on ableist slurs. Alternative phrases are more descriptive, and more accurate; unintelligence is not the prevailing problem with right wing extremists, for instance, nor is it the cause of their actions. Ignorance, prejudice, and disregard for the rights of others are.
Conflating harmful actions with lack of intelligence does everyone a disservice. To suggest that “stupidity” that is what makes people act badly undermines any real accountability. The causes of problematic behavior rarely have anything to do with mental acuity, and we can’t properly address harmful behavior while being so reductive about its causes. Carelessness, bias, hatred, greed, closed-mindedness, indifference – these are the traits that lead to oppression. Our intelligence is not the issue so much as our sense of compassion and justice.
A person can be unintelligent and still know right from wrong. There are people with cognitive disabilities who I respect a thousand times more than those who are supposedly more abled. They have stronger principles, seek to better themselves, and are committed to being good people. They are just capable of being sensitive and caring as everyone else. To imply that they aren’t is outrageous.

"I had a single experience when I was 5 so now I feel like I can speak over and on behalf of trans people about them not really knowing what's best for them"

t can’t be the case that every time someone asks a question that you don’t like, they must be doing so in bad faith. That’s a fallacy.

Lmmfao, says the person literally dismissing a reality they don't like by calling it a fallacy.. 😂

If the blatant dog whistles and phrasing of not only the question but several of their answers isn't enough, the fact that OP insists they're interested in hearing opinions opposed to their own, and then engages at length with those giving non transphobic answers (while upvoting the transphobes) should be.

You not seeing through their thin veil (never mind a well known tactic right out of the bigots playbook) means just that - that you can't/won't see, not that it isn't there.

You choosing to defend them at this point and despite their now clear intentions means you're either too naive and/or wilfully ignorant to be calling out anyone for using "fallacies", or you agree with them and are also, like OP, trying to hide behind a thin veil of "civility".. Either way, you're both full of shit.. ¯(ツ)/¯
