  • Trump Just Made the World Much More Dangerous

    Jump

  • Even if he wasn't planning on it, the thought process always seems to be there. "They're going to round us up into camps (because that's what I would do in that position)" "They're going to start a war to stay in power (because that's what I would do in that position)". Regardless of actual position or power, the vile thoughts of these people always seem to leak out in the form of an accusation.

  • Every accusation a confession. Every. Fucking. Time

  • Sure, I'm not saying it's necessarily a good thing that we're still using it, but recognizing and treating it as a serious carcinogen rather than something benign goes a long way to improving the amount of harm it causes

  • Still is, honestly. We still use asbestos in a ton of stuff, but we're just generally a lot more careful about using it fortunately, and not doing as many open-air asbestos shoveling competitions upwind from the schoolyard.

  • Bipartisan bill aims to block big investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • Yeah, honestly that seems pretty win/win.

  • Ouch

  • Nick Shirley, the "Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud" guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he's not particularly sharp.

  • At least in my group of trans friends, we semi-jokingly use the term "girltwink" for women that tend to be smaller and more "traditionally feminine".

  • ICE agents keep accidentally shooting themselves

    Jump

  • Honestly it makes sense. Most incidents are due to complacency with rules/procedures. A new guy joins and follows every rule to the letter, but more experienced people think "Well, I've gone all this time without an incident and bent the rules a little here and there, and it's not been a problem.

    You see it happen all the time working around heavy machinery. The new guy gets trained on the Limb Mangler and is absolutely terrified of it, so he follows every rule to the letter. The experienced guy has worked with the Limb Mangler for 10 years and knows that the correct process for un-jamming the de-gloving reels takes like 45 minutes and is a PITA, he also knows that you can quickly wiggle the jam loose with a pair of pliers and get it up and running without a stoppage at all. Everything is fine, until it isn't, and suddenly you've got skeleton hands because you didn't feel like taking time to properly de-energize and LOTO tag the system.

  • I mean, thats fair enough, but even as a not particularly masculine male, I didn't enjoy being a guy.

  • oh.

  • I think it's definitely something to explore more. I was never really uncomfortable with my body, and when I started working out heavily, I was actually pretty happy for a bit. However, there was also that background thought over time of "It'd be cool to be a girl" and once I started exploring my femme side, I very quickly realized how much happier I was.

    It's one of the cruel things about the way trans people have been presented over the years, as feeling "trapped in the wrong body" and having this active hatred towards your AGAB. I figured that just because I was "okay" with being a guy, I wasn't actually trans or anything, and wanting to be a woman was just something everyone did. It wasn't until I started transitioning that I realized how much I did actively dislike my masculinity, but societal expectations told me that's what I just had to suck it up and deal with it, and enjoy what few parts I could.

    Just food for thought more than anything else, and echo the fact that the worst case is finding out what makes you happiest.

  • It's just out of frame

  • Okay.

  • Except they never will be. Even as dark as things seem, the objective numbers and actions show that there are more good people out there than bad. They want you to think that isn't the case so you give up.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • Realistically, a portion of that is going to be people trolling/giving a "joke" answer, a portion is going to be people who are so unaware of literally anything going on that they just answer "sure, it's fine", or are basically illiterate and effectively just answer randomly. The number of people who are seriously answering are going to be a smaller subset of that number, greater than 0% but lower than the true number.

  • U.S. House votes against Trump's tariffs on Canada

    Jump

  • Also American. Being a minority (specifically trans) is fucking scary here right now, and it's depressing knowing how many people see us so negatively now. Rightfully so, but as someone who lives closer to Canada than the next closest state, it's saddening how much we've hurt our friends and neighbors.
