You: says obviously racist, idiotic shit all over the place

You: gets called racist

You: "racist is an insult but literal slurs arent"

???????

Yikes

Oh shit found one. My b

Is this a joke? Show me one present delivered without the parents involvement and maybe I'll see the rest of your argument, assuming you have one. I know it's not exactly confirmed by any authority but it's pretty easy to see he's doing everything Putin wants and there are obvious conflicts of interests, to say the least.

Thats fucked, I'm gonna look for that story. I've been seeing lots of stuff (even locally in a relatively progressive state) about trans folks' documents being confiscated and/or destroyed when they try to leave or get a new or updated passport or sometimes other docs iirc. Please don't come here, to anyone thinking about it. Period. Unless you're planning to stay a while and help us out, I don't recommend it but we will be needing all the help we can get :(

Nah his opps fucked up his backup.

Jesus this is all there is for gender/sex/race/immigrant/etc discrimination, if you can even say it's about that

The link about "travel and your identity" idr what it says exactly but it isn't anything specific to US and certainly not much help in the current scenario

telling me how to organize

tone policing

"What you've shown me is a fragile ego and an inability to take criticism"

🤭

Edited to add: if you honestly see that from my words and behavior here, what you've shown me is a lack of empathy and I have no more words for you.

Don't worry about me friend, I'm looking after my community and my loved ones and myself, but you are right that authoritarianism is the real threat, and the best way to counter that is community organizing, which is what I spend my time doing. Not saying that because I feel the need to tout my accomplishments, I feel I have a very healthy self image. But you do seem confused about where to direct your efforts so just so you know, that's what I recommend.

I'm very happy actually :) thank you for your concern.

That's basically how I've always pictured it, like in my mental physics playground or whatever, the many, many particles may not be dense when you take a small sample (like a cubic foot of air or something) but through miles of atmosphere it adds up and the light has lots to bounce around and off of before it gets to you. Do I basically have that right? That comment someone added makes me think im understanding it right but maybe not explaining my understanding quite right, but maybe you get what I'm trying to say.

random motion of the Earth's atmosphere

Are you able to elaborate on what you mean by this at all please, or possibly suggest a direction to look in to find more about what this means and the implications?

You missed a really funny opportunity by not faking that screenshot

Have you been telling this story a while? Or are you intentionally taking credit for something you didn't do for meme cred?

Edit: actually double xp meme credit, including the OP meme cred of lying for the meme and also the meme-ness of telling the story as OC

Yeah that makes sense now. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I agree, it's pathetic. I was thinking you meant Elon and was confused.

Again: you don't get to enforce conformity my guy

Again: please show me where I said anything that even suggests that. My language was as respectful as possible and most folks who are not assholes wouldn't take issue with it. Y'all are actually trying to tell me that I don't get to say what feels inclusive to me, and that's literally trying to enforce conformity, my guy.

Niiiice :D

That last one lmao

enforce conformity

I don't see where I said I would like to enforce anything, please point out exactly what you're referring to. [1]

We should try to celebrate diversity

Yeah, that's what I said too, when I was explaining in a very clear and solutions focused way to someone else the ways they can, you know, actually do that by respecting folks who may feel left out when it's so common to assume everyone is a man behind a computer, which is the opposite of "celebrating diversity".

dude

man

This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.

should

Why don't you just enjoy

We should

Please don't talk to me that way. I'm very happy with my life and don't need to be told what to do or enjoy.

It adds some flair

Nothing wrong with flair.

when the reader understands the context

Yeah that's the problem. Not every reader will immediately understand that context, and if they don't, in this example specifically just for a hypothetical, say because they're gen-z (too young to get the ref) or autistic (more direct communication is better understood) or something, they may think this is just some place where everyone assumes everyone else is a man or a dude, like reddit.

The history of our language.

Hwæt, hwæt þu ne spræce swā gif þu þearft on gemyndum habban þæs þe ær gewāt?

ETA: Footnotes since y'all are so intent on misunderstanding:

1. More specifically, I didn't say that they should change the comment, or use any language that can (IMO) be reasonably interpreted as trying to "enforce" anything. My intention is as stated: a gentle reminder of what makes the community feel cohesive and inclusive to me and I'm certain there are others who feel the same way.

My mother used to say that her sons eat like birds, a peck at a time, and twice our own body weight daily.

Aw that's cute lol

It says:

Sure, T. rex is closer in height to Stegosaurus than a sparrow. But that doesn't tell you much; 'Dinosaur Comics' author Ryan North is closer in height to certain dinosaurs than to the average human.

😂

As a tall person I feel cooler now
