My city could have added municipal ftth using a municipal bond that would have raised each homes taxes by about 8 bucks a year for 5 years. Instead they voted it down and Comcast jacked the prices up the next month.

125 Euro per apartment and they said no.... Wtf..

Look at how quick you were to defend Daddy Musk without even bothering to Google one of the most watched videos of the last 24 hours.

He's clearly a big guy, look how far his legs extend past the edge of a normal chair.

Jesus it's wild to think people would assume I'm an AI generated image based off of the fact that I wear a size 15 US (49 Euro).

First 48 is also a show about murder detectives working a case within the first 2 days after the murder. The likelihood of the case going cold after the first 48 hours goes up exponentially the longer the file stays open.

They'll absolutely respect them as long as Trump Daddy is still selling them.

Lol old think.... Damn you really think you're cooking with this one.

There's so many broad sweeping assumptions in this comment that it would take an hour to properly address them.

I'm for trans expression, safety, gender affirming care, and right to live peacefully and safely.

I'm.for sweeping changes to firearm laws and way more gun control measures to prevent senseless deaths at the hands of firearms. Ideally the US would have laws like Canada or Australia.

This is exactly my point. This "perceived group" of people online would rather be outraged and morally superior by convincing yourselves that you found a top secret bigot on a mission to detail the thread instead of just looking at the first reply to my comment as what it is, someone being an asshole by talking to down to me about using wrongspeak.

Also, perceived group? It's like 20 dorks on lemmy who enjoy talking down to others while jumping to conclusions without knowing who they're talking to at all. It has nothing to do with the gender identity movement as a whole. I form my opinions on that based on speakiny with my actual friends and family that are LGBTQIA+.

A simple "hey just a heads up, a lot of people avoid terms like biological male because its commonly used by transphobes to invalidate gender identities online" would have been clearly understood and accepted.

However, some people are so terminally online that they assume everything is a secret mission to destroy them from within. It seriously sounds like the reverse of the "George soros is paying libs to post these comments on reddit" crowd. I'm not saying that there isn't people sea lioning out here and dog whistling, but you are on such high alert that you can't even spot when someone is just being called out for simply being an asshole, because it's on such a controversial and hot topic.

"I don't think I spoke down to you, but you are welcome to your opinion. I tried to inform you."

Really? You seriously can re-read your comment and don't see how shitty it comes across when addressing it to someone who used a word you disagree with unwittingly?

"Assigned male at birth is the term you want to use. "Biological male" is a term used by transphobes to spread misinformation."

Not informative at all. It's you telling me what word I want to use, while implying I'm a transphobe attempting to spread misinformation.

" Biology is very complex and not your elementary school version of biology. What makes someone "biologically" male? Is it having a penis, having testis, having more testosterone than estrogen, having XY chromosomes? These can all be intermixed with other characteristics."

Here's the fun part where you state I have an elementary level understanding of biology.

"The "basic biology" definition doesn't work in the real world, and the people using it are actively trying to harm trans people or ignorant. Now you're more informed so ignorance isn't an excuse anymore."

Here's the cherry on top where you talk about me not knowing how to discuss complex topics in the real world or that I may be actively trying to harm trans people at worst or ignorant at best. Lastly, in case you know I'm not a transphobe that my ignorance can no longer be an excuse.

You seriously couldn't possibly think of any other combination of words to get your point across without making me out to be someone that's intentionally skirting the line of ignorance and bigotry in an effort to harm trans people?

Got it.

I apologize.

You're a the most qualified person on the internet for cisgender, trans, and intersex word policing.

Now that I know and if I don't change, you'll make sure to report it to the cisgender police for trans activities special victims unit...

It's interesting you chose the statement "it's not difficult to be better, it's just a choice". You could have started this entire interaction with "hey dude, just a heads up that a lot of transphobes use phrases like 'biological male' to invalidate trans identities", but instead you took the opportunity to speak down to me and made sure I was now "educated" and that I can stop using wrong speak.

Thank God you're here as an ally to make people question why those of us on this side of the fence can't even get along internally.

Oh no, I didn't heed my trans wisdoms lords advice and they've decided to deride someone for a singular word choice to make themselves feel morally superior!

This will definitely advance the trans acceptance of the common person! Or maybe stay with me here for a moment, not everyone on the internet is as accepting as you are and when they see someone getting slammed for "wrong speak" it reinforces their shitty beliefs.

"If someone who loves and supports trans people is getting shit on for saying a double plus ungood word by other trans allies, then why would I ever want to be a part of that."

I've heard these conversations verbatim from people I work with who hold actual hatred for trans people and trans acceptance. Once again though you're all living for up votes and that brief instance you get to feel morally superior on the internet and share these snippets in your discord groups. This is clearly such a flippant topic for you that all you could muster up is a meme.

If you ever find yourself wondering why there's people out there that don't speak up about trans hate, just go reread your original reply to me. My comment was nothing close to hateful or bigoted, but you're not gonna tolerate wrong speak on lemmy.

You clearly could see where I was coming from and where my support is directed. Instead of total indifference to my comment, which would have been the bare minimum amount of attention you could give to it. You decided to take umbrage with me saying "biological" instead of what makes you happy and throw out intersex groups that make up a fraction of a percent of the entire population like an uno reverse card.

Then to cap it off you made sure to declare that I've been "properly educated", so sayeth you. So from here on out, I need to use the right language or..... else?

I'm not quite sure what your final edict was supposed to imply. That if I don't use the right language my trans friends won't talk to me anymore? I'll get kicked out of the gay club?

Instead of leaving it, you had to make it a point to punch down on someone who isn't as "informed" as you and put me on blast like I just said the N word equivalent for trans persons.

Seriously, it's great you want to help spread awareness, but damn you took a super hostile and adversarial tone right off the bat.

Just calling my shot here. I wrote all this out on my phone and it will not be well received despite the fact that there's members of trans alliance and advocacy groups who disagree with your position and disagree with the use of "ASAB". There's people within the community who dislike using the term trans as a catch all.

Where do you personally draw the line? Are you going to stop saying ASAB now that you know some people don't like it? Are you going to keep saying "trans" even though some people feel like it marginalizes the community and feels too informal to discuss complex gender identities?

For whatever reason people online are more interested in being outraged.

Who assigned them male at birth? What if they were raised like a cisgender female typically would be in our society?

What makes someone "assigned at birth"? Is it dressing in masculine clothes, is it having a name like Michael and Billy, is it having a circumcision? These can all be comingled with other variations of child rearing.

Just because a parent assigns a "gender" at birth doesn't make it someone's actual identifying "gender". As a young child they have no say in the matter and it's quite frankly wrong to whitewash their childhood history and personal trauma like that.

Now that you're more informed, I hope moving forward you stop trying to erase people's adolescent psychological adversity.

She was 100% on board with them regulating reproductive care because it has never personally affected her as a biological male.

She only has an issue now that her favorite team turned on her after telling her for the last 30 years that she's next.

I fucking love this movie so much.

My group uses teams to assign tasks and keep track of things we finished.

Super convenient for repetitive tasks that you do every week.

If the phones that old it should have a 3.5mm jack. You should be able to plug it into an audio recorder and get the best quality.

Your edit to their edit just makes you look even more petty and whiny.

Fucking hell, just accept that they tried to correct their comment to clarify that they weren't trying to villainize trans kids.

You can either take the stance that you helped them clarify their opinion to be better understood or you can be outraged. At first you were outraged at their "wrong speak", after the edit you're outraged that they edited their comment to make you look stupid.

Not eveeyone in this world gives a shit about you, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some people are just trying to have reasonable discourse here.

I have the same theory. Anytime I see someone having a phone call on speakerphone it's almost 100% because their screen is shattered and they just walk around screaming into their phone.

Makes sense that these are also the type of people walking around just raw dogging life with out a cell phone case.

A fucking thousand American dollars for an 07 Tundra with less than a 100k. L o fucking L.

These dudes should at least lube you up and get you drunk first before they absolutely fuck the shit out of you.

Canadian as hell.
