It's not about effort - it's a matter of aesthetics.

It is correct that non-binary can fall under the trans umbrella. It is not correct that femboys are "in denial" about their gender. Nobody gets to decide that but them. This post is hopefully satire, but taken literally, it's advocating for reverse conversion therapy.

No.

Then we have two popular government organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other. The logic still must hold in reverse, no?

Semantic stop signs, if you like.

You are right, this video is clickbait mitigation, not clickbait itself. The haters are just primed to hate at the drop of a hat.

No Such Thing As A Fish!

From the makers of BBC's "QI," a (nearly) endless collection of useless facts that will not change your life, but will make you more fun to talk to at parties. Not that you go to any parties.

Political violence ≠ fascism. Violence is what people turn to when they can't achieve what they need by merely talking and voting. Cf. every revolution, ever. Including the American one.

The election chances have just shot up.

Turns out that one was actually universal.

I use the construction "Chekhov's whatever" all the time to signify "something has been introduced so it will come up again later." It's a meme now. It has outgrown the gun.

Aw, come on.

"Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy."

"Where's the best place to hide after committing murder? Behind a badge."

"Did you know today is the anniversary of the Jonestown massacre? I'd tell you a joke about it, but the punch line is too long."

"If you're not sure, better take the safer bet and nonconsensually burden some newly created living beings with the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to."

If you were only going to read one or two, then sure, go for The Left Hand of Darkness (for sci-fi) or A Wizard of Earthsea (for fantasy), though there are some loose sequels to each of those you might end up wanting to pursue. But personally I've always been most fond of Always Coming Home.

Saw it on the big screen last night at the drive in. Flawless as always.

Romanes eunt domus. Et prescriptive grammarians can eunt the fuck domus, too.

I guess you could say the same of regular conversion therapy advocates. Many could honestly say that they only want what's best for the other person. They just use their own definition of "best" and refuse to consider any alternatives.

I predict a sex scene. And a death scene.

Give shitty advice, get a shitty summary of your own shitty advice.
