  • Hi friend. There's two ways to compare things together, using either a simile or metaphor. A simile uses "like" in the sentence to compare two things: hot dogs are like sandwichs. A metaphor is symbolic of something else, commonly also called hyperbolic communication: Elon needs to pull his head out of his ass.

    What we have here is called a statement of fact. It is not a comparison to say that I've had both good days and bad days at my work. Do they have the same context (work)? Yes, but most people would compare their good days to other good days, and their bad days to other bad days. What I responded to is called a non-unique argument: i hope this is self explanatory. It is disengenuinous to say that jokes do not cause harm, when there are many types of jokes lead to additional harm through the normalization of stereotypes and rhetoric. In this case, the original commenter called out a joke that could potentially lead to harm

    Hope this helped ❤️

  • Fuck HP. They provided the tech Israel uses to control and surveil Palestinians.

  • People joke about genocide and racism. "It's a joke" is not a valid argument against criticism.

  • Rem is 17-19. I think 9 was a bit of an exaggeration. ...but yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the maid outfits. My honest thoughts, I think it stems from patriarchal ideas of what constitutes the core aspects of what it means to be a woman....an over sexualized cook and cleaner. A lot of trans women struggle with wanting any attention at all, even gross comments from misogynists because it validates their gender expression. It was covered in Pose (2018) pretty extensively for anyone wanting media that talks about the trans experience.

  • I'm in this image and I don't like it 😡

  • Won't hold up in court, but more importantly, don't order from them because of the free meals they're giving to people committing genocide.

  • And then they couldn't sleep so they did tranqs, which coupled with patriarchal beliefs, led to widespread SA and pregnancy.

  • I think they're just not used to PC setups tbh. The Dark Souls games are famously much worse on PC than console.

  • And? I'll put another 500 hours in DS2 rn.

  • Toilet's just getting their regular prostate check

  • Even if they are so worried about chromosomes, the existence of intersex people completely voids the binary. They don't care about reality, they just want to back up their shitty position

  • I get it, I've produced some weird questionnaires in grad school that I had to end up redoing because some wording was off. Happens to everyone

  • I'm curious about the decision to separate non-binary and trans /genuine

    Like, were people able to click both? If so, for future surveys... (if you decide, or anyone else in the community reading this who wants to run a different one) those who mark both non-binary and trans, the graph should list how many of trans people also identified as nb. I just think data is really interesting, just want to clarify that I'm not upset or anything (people imo tend to assume any criticism, pos or neg comes from a place of big feelings)
