  • Trans flag hung in protest in Yosemite National Park: 'Trans people are natural'

    Jump

  • I agree with the other guy. I have a trans friend but she doesn't pretend like it's natural for humans. Maybe the feelings are but the actual process is not. And that's fine. But trying to argue against a point that the oppositition uses with niche examples and rephrasing to something that is very cut and dry does not help with optics or changing hearts and minds. If anything it usually backfires.

    The more important issue is that people accept her choice and get the fuck over what she has decided to do with her own time and body that does not effect anyone else in any way.

    Like the first guy said. Who cares if it is natural or not? That's not the fucking point, there's lots of things for us in this world that aren't natural that we love and that help us. There's also lots of things in this world that we hate or that will harm us that is natural.

    Natural doesn't mean good or bad it's an incredibly reductive stance to take. And it's frankly insulting that you have decided to roll over and let the oppositition influence your opinion that trans people have to be seen as natural just because hateful people say the opposite. Should the people claiming unnatural is somehow bad and dangerous also hate people with prosthetic limbs because those are also not natural? Following that logic, should we then argue that prosthetics limbs are natural because others hate them for not being natural? See how the logic for the entire argument from the start is stupid, breaks down, and should not have even been entertained in the first place? It's a bad faith argument, you don't engage with those.

    You're not a trans ally. Be kind and be honest, please. This planet needs good people.

    You're a horrible person for saying this. The guy above you is supportive of trans people and yet because they don't fit into your box of what an ally looks like exactly that means they can't be one. That is incredibly insulting not only to them, but to the movement, and even to my friend directly. I've watched her be discriminated against and the hurt that goes with it, you're supporting that hurt by rejecting a real ally.

    In these times you support every ally you have even if they don't fit into your box of what an ally is, you don't get to decide that. As long as they don't discriminate against trans people there is nothing wrong with their support. Your rhetoric is the exact issue that causes people to turn away from being trans allies or giving support because they feel alienated and constantly berated when trying to support the cause, usually because they're told they're not supporting in the right way. Shame on you especially for trying to cover your words with that fake positivity at the end, the planet has good people but you're actively telling them they're not good enough!

  • You know how when rockets take off in Florida there's lots of smoke?

    Yeah there's a tunnel that goes from Florida to New York that the smoke goes through to help heat up the New York streets. So anytime you see smoke in New York it's cause a rocket was recently shot up in Florida. Technology Infrastructure is incredible!

  • Im planning to visit Paris soon in a few weeks so hearing this is really helpful! I don't speak French well and have been trying to get better before the trip. But was worried I'd be treated rudely for it from all the stories I've heard. Glad to know they're just stories

  • At some point you have to make a choice. Either grab a hose to help put out the fire and fix things or you stand on your high ground, praising yourself for how noble your intentions are as everything around you burns.

    High roading only works if your opponent has a conscience and can understand guilt. The side that is playing with matches and gasoline this whole time has shown very much that they do not have one.

    And to address your original point, yes there very much is a difference. One side is doing things for tye sake of hurt others or progressing a goal that is downright evil and tyrannical. Your doing it to protect the people they're trying to hurt and to oppose their tyranny.

    Will it be clean? No... but anything worth fighting for has never been clean. The world isn't just black and white. And the idea that stooping to anothers level makes you the same as them is about as binary as you can get. The world is filled with nuance and a whole range of colors that needs to be observed

  • In general, I do wonder how effective this constant onslaught of marketing is. At some point there have got to be diminishing returns, right?

    This is what I keep saying, and it is a question that bothers me and riles me up far more than it ever should. Like I and all of my friends and family have just learned to auto tune out ads at this point. We are so constantly drowned in ads everyday that now my brain just automatically filters them out as background noise. The few times one does slip through I completely forget about it 10 seconds later as it is lost in the whirlwind of fast paced chaotic life where I can't even remember if I ate breakfast that morning. Either that or it slips through because it is obnoxiously intrusive, in which case that product and company go on my shit list.

    The only time an ad still works on me is if I am specifically looking for a product. In which case I still tune out 90% of targeted ads cause I know most of them are fake scams anyways. The other 10% I check user reviews from actual people to narrow down what I want.

    I'm trained to distrust any ads now and even other posts about products online because everything online is either fake or a scam or both. Or the ads are for big brands that I already know exist and I know not to trust they're ads as well because they are so constantly in my face. Like I really don't need an ad to remind me that [major corporation brand] still exists, and I sure as shit ain't gonna have whatever stupid thing they suggest be my first option.

    How tf are ads supposed to work when we are so desensitized to them?

  • 'Oppenheimer' finally premieres in Japan to mixed reactions and high emotions

  • Thank you for the very well written write up. It reflects my exact thoughts on the dropping of the bombs, but laid out in a much more coherent manner.

    Dropping the bombs was by all means a horror unleashed to stop an even greater horror from occuring. A trolley problem incarnate almost. Personally I think trying to moralize the bombs at all is reductive and ignores many of the facts of the situation and creates an idealized version of how wars are/where conducted that simply is not real.

  • There was a period in the mid 2000's of like 3-4 years where social media was fun and not super toxic. It was still toxic to a degree, but nowhere near like it is now. Then it started to decline rapidly once the general public started to get involved as smart phones became better and better at helping keep people terminally online.

    I hate sounding like a hipster, but everything good or at least semi-decent really does come to an end once it gets saturated by the general public.

  • Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade blamed for a second death, lawsuit alleges

    Jump

  • I recently went to try the charged lemonade (was really gross btw), they do a pretty good job of advertising what's in it. You'd honestly have to go out of your way to avoid the signage telling you about the caffeine.

    That and if a drink is charged it usually implies caffeine, alcohol, or vitamin stuff. Either way it is something a person should probably be curious enough to investigate before consuming. Idk why someone would just order and drink something that they don't know anything about... That just seems weird and irresponsible

    I'm usually all for knocking corps down a peg, but this charged lemonade stuff with panera feels more like a failure of personal responsibility of the individual.

  • [Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

    Jump

  • I cant tell if people in this thread are trolls, ultra elite linux shills, or just people incapable of following simple instructions...

    Like I get it, windows bad or w/e... But to act like it takes longer than an hour or two to install it, let alone 2 whole fucking days is just asinine.

    Imagine having enough of a skill issue that it takes you 2 days to install Windows OS. The OS that idiot proofs itself by literally holding your hand on every option and walks you through itself to install.

    Im not even joking, I re-install and have installed windows the past few years multiple times on personal devices for myself and my family and friends and even do it for professional devices and servers for my job. It is brain dead easy, enough that my tech illiterate grandparents managed to re-install it before I could make the drive to meet them and do it for them... I can't take this OP or anyone else seriously if they can manage to install a linux based OS but somehow have 2 days worth of trouble with Windows OS...
