In group and out group baybee!

In a different circumstance definitely. In this one though it's most likely Bibi taunting everyone else and shouting "Nyeh nyeh! I got away with it!"

That is definitely significantly scarier. If only because it means I might have to talk to someone from Québec.

Their justification is almost certainly as simple as "only gays and addicts get this, let it kill them"

Not gonna lie, that's significantly less scary than the snow speaking Finnish.

I might be wrong in this. My understanding is that it is flammable, but not when it's "solid" if that makes sense. That a fire would have to be on it and burning hot enough for long enough to start melting the tar then that could burn. But the asphalt itself isn't likely to just catch fire from a lighting strike or something and just continue to burn.

Nah I've definitely done a quick heel-toe walk across an area to get a ballpark of distance. Along with basically any other body part I could reasonably use to measure something when I don't have a tape measure on me at that moment.

I've also previously measured and I know that for example my bare foot is about 11 inches long heel to toe and that my shoe makes it about 12. I could do exactly the same thing with metric.

Most of the prominent right wing personalities are failed Hollywood types. Ben Shapiro wanted to be a screenwriter, Michael Knowles had a failed acting career, Crowder tried to do stand up in addition to the voice work in Arthur being discussed here. Seriously, SO MANY OF THEM have some kind of failed entertainment career prior to their ascent to right wing talking heads.

That's what I do. I've got absolutely nothing against probably most of the people I've blocked. Just at a certain point if I see the same account over and over posting stuff I don't really vibe with I'll block them and just let the ones that do enjoy that stuff have at it.

Side note: I especially love the ones that will like rage comment in places like YT/TikTok on "woke" stuff for example then cry that the algorithm keeps showing them more like it. Like... My Brother in Christ, you made the sandwich.

That statement isn't about the unpasteurized milk, it's about being anti-establishment. If I had to guess, I'd say the idea is to say "both these groups are anti-establishment, now let me show you how crazy the raw milk thing on this side is so you'll implicitly think the other group is a bunch of weirdos too."

I had to Google it myself. It's apparently a psych term to refer to trauma one might carry relating to the loss or otherwise lack of care, nurturing, or affection from a mother.

I guess it's psych speak for "Mommy issues" from what I'm reading?

I feel like that's probably the most likely scenario yeah. She might not have even known she was trans when she joined it. Getting closer to the other girls might have been the thing that helped her realize she didn't want to just be part of the cheer squad she actually wanted to be one of the girls.

Did... Did you just try to imply that my dysphoria is from me internalizing women saying men bad?

Oh no I get grouped in with shitty people all the time. I'm AMAB and I look very much like a man. I am acutely aware of how I'm seen. I see every single woman that sees me and instinctively recoils in anticipation of me being exactly that kind of man. It sends my dysphoria through the roof to be seen and perceived that way every single second of every single day. I deal with that pain all the time.

But do you know what I don't do? I don't turn that around on women who are validly pointing out saying they hate when men do something messed up or creepy to women and tell them that they need to be more considerate of MY feelings on the matter. I don't tell them that they need to stop being an asshole to me if they want me to care about their issues.

The difference is that those photos are presented as if the unrealistic thing is desirable. As if it is something that everyone should want to be. While you're hearing "I wish men would stop being creepy" and acting like they're directly calling you personally a creep.

I'm an AMAB nonbinary person, basically every time a woman sees me I can see her instinctively preparing for me to be that exact guy because I look like if Bigfoot dressed as Bob from Bob's Burgers. It sends my dysphoria through the roof every time. But even I can manage not to get bent out of shape when women call out men being toxic because I know I'm not guilty of the things they're calling out.

So I say again. Sounds like a skill issue

Huh, and here all the men I know have never even the slightest bit upset about broad generalizing statements about men because they are secure in the knowledge that the statement doesn't apply to them... Sounds like a skill issue tbh.

Saaaaaame...

I went from being homophobic because I mistook my being uncomfortable with overt sexual advances from anyone as being uncomfortable with gay men because "of course I'm attracted to women I just haven't met The One yet," to thinking I was bi because once I thought about it I realized I didn't really feel any differently toward men and women, to finally my now wife when we were dating introducing me to the concept of being asexual and I realized that yeah I do have the same attraction toward men and women... Zero.

Compulsive Heterosexuality is strong yo.

Nah they want Mandatory Fun™©®

It's a very specific kind of fun. It needs to be deep enough to hold your attention, but not so deep that you don't drop it even the New Thing releases. It needs to be formulaic so they don't have to spend much money making it. That's the ideal for these corpos.
