Yup. Usually don’t get much replies between checking, so if it’s more than 2, I worry. Probably doesn’t help that I have done the thing where I accidentally say something that a reasonable person would interpret quite differently than my intended message and reasonably got dogpiled because of it.

all people had to do was cancel subscriptions

People just need to cancel their subscriptions to Lockheed martin and Northrop Grumman and tell them its over Gaza to stop it!

Whatever Spirit is

This sort of thing just makes Trump’s transparent lies about sending the military to blue cities. If he was really trying to stop violence, he’d be sending the military to right-wing areas where the most violent people are.

Trump also recently mentioned he though Portland was actually literally burning down and basically a war-torn looking area because of the media he consumes and the people he keeps close to him. It could just be his impressive stupidity, not necessarily intentionally lying.

Source claiming Tyler was bisexual. Obviously not definitive evidence, but its not like they can do a blood test and prove his sexuality or something - they best you are likely to get is his friends saying he was or was not.

I wasn’t referencing him dating someone who is allegedly trans, since a man dating a woman wouldn’t be evidence of not being an allocishet. OTOH, if his lover is not trans, then it would be evidence that he isn’t straight.

I don’t think so. That’s what a lot of people were speculating. But seems like he mostly grew up in a MAGA family, but was queer himself, so a bit alienated from the MAGA movement due to the homophobia within it and mostly stayed out of talking about politics with his friends. Seems like he mostly just saw Kirk as a danger to himself and those he loved because of Kirk doing things like promoting violence against queer people.

I think its a joke about how if the shooter was white, they’d have taken him alive. The shooter is from a town that’s 80% white, so…

Given the connection between Elon Musk and Ghislaine Maxwell, I’ve always assumed this was the case. Trump also called for the files to be released during campaigns if I’m not mistaken.

Apparently external CD players do exist that are compatible with phones. So you could just connect that to your phone and copy the songs to your phone. Could probably get an old laptop with one built in for the same price though.

What do you mean “this?” Making the thread? Seems like the OP explains:

Yes, this is a shitpost and I actually would date a cis person, I actually do, a cis lesbian in fact. We just had our 10th anniversary. And she says posts like this one are really fucking stupid. Only trans people are subject to posts like this.

Also, its not limited to just stupid internet posts. People just randomly decide to talk to other people about how they wouldn’t date or have sex with trans people with nothing prompting such discussions. Why do cis people just go around imagining hypothetical trans people want to have sex with them?

I think most cis people don’t think much about their gender

Of the 5 guys I’m closest to, I think three do seem to clearly value their masculinity. They express it in different ways and I don’t think they conceptualize it the same way trans people do and some of them probably don’t realize they do care about it.

I tend to think gender is not just BS even if there are arbitrary elements, and I increasingly believe my gender identity ties into my biology in ways that make my gender not a choice but an immutable part of who I am

I don’t disagree. My choice of “feel like” was intend to differentiate it from my beliefs and to avoid implying I was saying other ought to feel/think the same. I largely believe my negative feelings towards gender are likely a result of the gendered expectations pushed onto me because of my AGAB. At the very least, I do believe we need to abolish the prescriptive nature of gender.

regardless, I would think a major reason to not date cis people is that they don’t understand our experiences - it’s interesting that didn’t come up for you, but maybe that’s because you don’t date or have sex

That’s pretty much what I meant by saying I wouldn’t jive with them. I don’t think they need to be trans to understand though, but I don’t feel like those who strongly feel their AGAB could relate.

I mostly meant it as a joke. I don’t date or have sex, so its not something I’d seriously consider.

But I also suspect I’d have a hard time jiving with someone who strongly identifies with their AGAB. Personally, I sorta feel like gender is BS and cis people caring about it is weird. If they only tepidly identify with it, that’s fine. In a non-transphobic world, I’d hold trans people to the same standard, but since transphobia is prevalent, trans pride ought to exist as a counter force and trans people at least inherently challenge some of the worst aspects of gender as conceptualized by transphobes.

If I found out someone was cis whom I’d otherwise consider dating, it would probably be difficult to maintain interest.

But they did say they were happy they were holding steady. But it doesn’t tell us if they wanted it dead or alive.

Combine that with how its suddenly really popular to look up things like “help with paying mortgage” and the PE10 ratio being 40 for the 2nd time in the past 150 years (the only other time being in the leadup to the dotcom bubble pop)…

PPD has been far worse than this without any consequences AFAIK. No surprise they don’t want to do anything.

Are you talking about Kirk?

IIRC, Sony is the publisher and wanted to require logging in through their service, but it wasn’t ready at launch so it launched without that requirement and they tried to add it later.

Middle is just using the n64 wire on yourself instead of proper rope.

They already believe that’s happening and that its intentional and they need to go to war to prevent it.
