Imagine getting fitted with body armor suited for a different body type and having to just deal with it when rounds are coming at you. Yeah, we need a new language to make sense of non-cis people in the military, but we shouldn’t sacrifice their lives because of it.

I bet you’re in the same boat. In the interim, we use the language necessary to keep us alive and respect everyone in our crew in the process. But yeah, guys calling girls “females” outside of that is weird and definitely a red card for dating. That should be the brunt of our attention.

Relevant across the spectra from what I’ve heard, but I don’t doubt the anxiety and emotional investment is more fierce in our cases.

Sorry, I couldn’t read your comment because my Mom was using the phone.

Ah, sorry, I thought you were responding to me directly at first. I’m as old as the internet. I’m just a little slow at times.

Not sure what this bot is on about, but it’s repeating my sentiment word-for-word but in bold, which is kinda scary. Would recommend downvoting.

You’re welcome! I’m sorry for sharing. A lot of people left that place far worse off than me, and it was a tragic introduction to inequity for me. I’m here because I’m horrified. Most people should be. I’ll give you more details in a DM if you have any questions.

Guy in the Lab in his 60’s - still great at his job - canned because his wife had late stage cancer and needed a lot of treatment. Those in the Lab knew that he smoked weed (the entire Production department also smoked). They tested him and no one else. Bro had an art to conducting a Farinograph that will be lost to time. His wife passed less than a year later.

The same company (very illegally) fired everyone trying to unionize a few decades ago, so it tracks out. They just didn’t know how to form a collective and make a Class Action.

I’ve met ones responsible for introducing new company policies targeting specific individuals because their medical treatment was getting too expensive. I would almost rather deal with full-time landlords.

Just evolved enough to stop Humpty Dumpty syndrome.

Evolution is a fickle mistress. Time does not always garner intelligence. Or as pigeon would say, “coo”.

“they make something beautiful instead of death” Agreed, but your neighbor’s kid’s fingers might not agree after that M-80

Hammer falls “Overruled.”

I mean… maybe we’re depressed because of the crushing weight of the real world impacts of what’s being reported on. I absolutely believe that consuming dour media can affect your mood. Plenty of evidence. I’ve also had two friends die of poverty due to their incapability to afford medical expenses.

Then where do I come from? I hope you’re misinterpreting my sentiment, because I feel like we’re on the same page.

It might feel pretty dire, but all of this information is critical to understanding and empathizing with the people you might meet in your own society. You can opt out of forums (and should if it’s causing you distress). I wouldn’t suffer a buffer from the negative information if it meant a lack of information in general.

Who doesn’t want to leave a sparkly, effervescent corpse after dying of asphyxiation and painful organ failure due to excessive carbonic acid buildup?

I’ll have the brain bullet, thanks.

I appreciate the quantification.

So is the Likert, but I bet you anyone trying hard enough can get gayer.

It’s the quantum gay that we really have to measure, but I can’t pin its velocity for some reason.

Yo, just run it under hot water for half a minute. The metal in the lid expands before the glass does, making it easier to open.
