“For a man who’s supposedly a model of compassion and tolerance, he sure does want a lot of people to cease to exist.”

Critical of people she praises for compassion.

And yet somehow JK thinks she is on the right side of history? 😄

telling trans people to vote for our own genocide

an instance that is supposed to be trans friendly.

The instance IS trans friendly. The people in the community are protesting a seperate genocide with the few tools available to them. It’s not fair to look past republicans taking active action to yell at others inaction solely because you feel the later should be easy.

For example, I’m vegan. I feel it should be easier for me to convince trans folk to be vegan since our community is all about bodily autonomy. But it’s unsupringly not, and yelling at them for my perceived hypocrisy is far far less productive than talking to someone who hasn’t been exposed to the concept in a rational logical way.

Perceiving hypocrisy in others and wishing it was easier to convince other to see as you is common, but it doesn’t change minds. The convincing process is always slow and difficult. Is your time best spent on someone likely to come around to your view anyways? Or is it better spent exposing a naive republican in a media bubble that we are not the stereotype he has been led to believe? Trans genocide is happening, but think strategically, focus on convincing the victimizers, not the victims.

I understand your frustration and anger, and I’m trying to help you find peace with the fact that others will always disagree with you. But that disagreement does not become a justification to silence others in our own community.

The number of far leftist that didn’t vote in some form of protest, is absolutely miniscule compared to the number of Republicans that did vote for Trump.

You’re mad at the wrong group. These people are not any legitimate threat to Biden electability. I understand the fear, nihilism and anger at the possibility of another Trump term, I’m feeling all that too, but this topic just doesn’t seem like a productive place to put energy. Between the electoral college and gerrymandering, where voting blue quite literally will do nothing. Like myself, I live in a deep blue state. I’m going to vote for Biden, but my girlfriend is not. In partiality, neither of these choices matter because we know for a fact the state is going blue just like it has for decades.

So a couple hundred people saying they won’t vote, and a percentage of them actually will vote, shouldn’t be something to be worked up about or a community that needs to be banned.

Idk. You do you. But this just seems like an unhealthy outlet for healthy frustration.

People elected Trump in 2016 and I think they might well do it again.

And do you think those are the same people are on blahaj? That support palastine enough to protest? Do you really think its more likely those people will just stand by and let the situation get worse under Trump?

Assume people make rational choices. When a president is elected, especially for a 2nd term, then they have little to no incentive to actually listen to the voters. It fucking sucks, but that is how the system works. Election time is literally the only time we can push meaningful change.

When election day comes, I think people we rationally understand that Trump is a greater danger both to Palastine and to the trans community and vote accordingly.

If I agree that there is no value in not voting, then I feel you should be able to recognize that there is value in SAYING you are not voting. To me, it’s far more likely that the people in that community know this fact instead of somehow not recognizing the danger of Trump.

The court’s decision to dismiss evidence obtained from Mossack Fonseca’s servers on grounds of “due process” is a masterstroke of legal gymnastics. It’s as if the smoking gun in a murder case were deemed inadmissible because the detective forgot to say “please” when collecting it.

Shameless. And despite the evidence being known to exist, that “due process” will never happen when so many current and former heads of state are on the defendant list.

World leaders and politicians:

• David Cameron: Former British Prime Minister
• Volodymyr Zelensky: Current President of Ukraine
• Mauricio Macri: Former President of Argentina
• Iceland’s Prime Minister (unnamed in the search results, but known to be Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson), who resigned due to the scandal

Celebrities and sports figures:

• Lionel Messi: Argentine football icon
• Pedro Almodovar: Spanish filmmaker

Business figures:

• Aliko Dangote: Africa’s richest man

As we watch these 28 defendants walk free, let us not forget the true victims of this charade: the countless millions who bear the burden of a system rigged against them.

I give the redbox a passing glance as I leave the grocery store to see which movies I should pirate. Rarely do I see something worth the effort.

Rest in peace.

A sad reminder why Pride is not just the month of june, but a movement for equality in the face of bigotry.

Maeby: And the worst part is he thinks he’s passing.

Yes, her motivation was make Steve Holt not interested but fundamentally the joke is that Steve wouldn’t be attracted to trans woman, which is what happens. Which honestly makes the whole joke worse.

And even if you don’t care about that, Maeby’s motivation doesn’t matter because she still uses transphobia as a way to harass Lindsey behind her back.

I honestly find the whole thing so upsetting and not even remotely funny.

🙄

You’re not adding anything useful, insightful or relevant to the conversation. Just being pedantic so you can feel smug.

This is pedantic and totally irrelevant to the topic of homeless having no place to simply exist.

Unless of course you are trying to highlight the billions of unhoused factory owners?

On arrested development I skip the story arc of episodes related to Maeby tricking people in to thinking her mom is trans so they can be awful to her.

There is a lot of casual transphobia that was common at the time, but I just can’t fucking stand those scenes.

You can think that, but understand that it is a theory that the government is conspiring to keep knowledge tech the public.

Look, I can’t and won’t try to change your mind, seems like you have already decided it’s happened. But you should understand that their is no evidence to believe in telepathy. That doesn’t mean impossible, but if you choose to believe it is possible AND invented in the early 90s that is entirely a you choice. Much like choosing to believe in god.

So sure, believe whatever. Just know that without evidence it will be difficult to get serious people to take you serious.

Yes, they were programs that were carried out.

No, they did not prove telepathy, mind control or anything of the sort.

Yesssss! It only goes with everything! I like soaking it in broth and then mixixng it in to a mac’n’cheese recipe.

they care that an inferior tasting

This is such a self report. Tofu tastes great, you just haven’t been around people that know how to cook it. Of course people are allowed to have different preferences but to unilaterally dismiss tofu. When it can taste like literally anything, one of one of the most versatile ingredients known to humanity, just makes you sound sheltered. I have been regularly asked if I made a non-vegan dish for the potluck because they mistook tofu for meat. It’s not commonly prepared in America or Europe, but to say “normal people don’t like tofu” just makes the content of Asia laugh.

Like truly, I linked recipes for a reason.

Not once did the pop psychologist disagree with Trump’s rant that the election had been stolen and that drug-crazed, mentally ill criminal migrants were invading the U. S. McGraw agreed with Trump that world leaders respect him; that he created the best U.S. economy in history; that he was the best president for Blacks since Abraham Lincoln; and that he tried to calm down crowds chanting “lock her up” about Hilary Clinton. Instead, he asked how Trump could keep going and why people were so energized against him, since he had done such good things for America? Trump replied that he loved the country, and it was just habit for many people to support Democrats, while others were just evil people.

This isn’t a surprise. Dr. Phil has always been openly a huge piece of shit that cares more for money than anything else. But dude has his own media personality cult following so of course he had have to do a crossover episode with the felon president.

Okay, so I might be biased but as 8+ year vegan the price barrier is such a cop out. My grocery budget went DOWN after I stopped buying meat. My girlfriend and I eat for a whole month for about $350, breakfast, lunch, dinner. There is more to vegan diets than those lame impossible/bocca/gardiens prepackaged frozen junk, I literally never buy any of it.

Tofu, beans and rice are cheap as hell. Like, of course prepared food is expensive but if you learn the basic easy ways to prepare it yourself you will save a ton. I use this recipe a ton as a base and then change the spices a bit for the specific dish. This site also has a ton of easy basic recipes.

Of course I agree that meat subsidarys are the real problem, but I flat out refuse to accept “veganism is expensive” as a legitimate claim.

This is pure blackpill. I’m really sorry you are in this position, but you truly need to talk this over with a therapist. You’re not unlovable, but when you think and talk like this women, rightfully, see nothing but red flags. And then your loneliness become a self fulfilling prophecy.

There is nothing wrong with you, except for the fact that you believe everything is wrong with you. A relationship is literally the last thing you need, instead focus on your own mental health and serenity.

This thread is a form of self harm. I know therapy is hard, but arguging with strangers about how terrible you are won’t ever make things better. Tending to your mental health will.

US, lived mostly up and down the west coast.

restaurants, museums, bars, and gyms.

And these are literally the examples I would’ve given. To be fair, it’s been years since I’ve been in a mens room. But, I know it’s common for most guys to walk straight out.
