Hey, can we not use misogynistic phrasing to defend trans women? I feel and appreciate where you are coming from and she is an awful person for doing this. But at best stuff like that is hypocritical since your using bigoted language to fight bigotrry and at worst legitimizes TERF talking points that "trans people and allies hate cis women".
Just like when a trans person does something shitty it's not a free pass to misgender them or when a PoC is shitty that's not a pass to use racist language or woman is shitty thats not a pass for sexist rhetoric.
Sorry, I don't like to tone police but as a trans women myself, this sort of thing really bothers me.
First United submitted a cash bid of $3.5 million dollars. By contrast, Cicack said, The Onion’s bid contained only $1.75 million in cash, alongside a waiver from the Connecticut families setting aside any of their earnings from the auctioned assets.
But Cicack challenged the use of this waiver, arguing it was "conditional and contingent" and "the equivalent of 'monopoly' money" and "simply has no value."
All money is monopoly money. It's all fake paper that has no intrinsic value, because the true value is what everyone agrees on. Their waiver ensure more monopoly money to the plaintiffs than your monopoly money bid.
Depends, if my 35 year old marries a 65 year old then I chalk it up to different life goals and preferences for consenting adults and enjoy the lavish wedding.
If my 18 year old marries anyone over the age of lets say... 21? I start talking about power imbalances, finical abuse and grooming non-stop until they are divorced. Honestly, even if their spouse was a reasonable age, I would do my very best to talk ANY 18 year old out of marriage.
I don't want you to feel like you're getting it from all sides but...
I apologize if I insinuated that all gamers are guilty of this kind of behavior, that was not my intention at all
You really gotta ignore those "not all gamers" type of posters. They are literally adding nothing to the conversation. If you are a normal person who doesn't harass women only, then you should also be a normal person who doesn't take offense when the community as a whole is criticized.
So I believe in aliens only in a statistical sense. There is a lot of space out there so SOMETHING has to be elsewhere. But those same stats tell me that the odds of it being intelligent is low, intelligent enough to contact us very low, existing at the same time as us (since we are a blip in the history of the universe) astronomically low and having the ability, or desire, to travel to us hilariously, laughably, insanely low.
I don't think people who say aliens have been to earth are serious people. Sorry.
Books, not just reading but long form text. If someone doesn't want listen, then they won't even if they pretend otherwise.
So if a talented author puts out a message, the reader has to continually choosing to read, intake and process what is being communicated. It's easy to tune out of conversation, videos or lectures without realizing it. But if you make it to the end of the page and don't know what just happened, it's entirely at your discretion to go back and reprocess. Infinitely repeatable while requiring constant buy-in without the concept of just waiting out the duration while thinking of other things. To my mind, if you want to understand a complex idea than books are easily the best method.
Does a performative obviously bullshit apology after he specifically set out to rub baby oil all over "comfort women" statues. Just like he did in Japan where he apologized, promised to stop streaming, left the country, deleted the apology, immediately went back to being an ass.
Found the cop.
