When our parents pronounced the names of our toys, fictional characters, and games incorrectly - they were just doing it to mess with us, weren't they?

I think that the only way they'll accept it is if the people doing the crimes actually call start outright calling themselves nazis directly and publicly.
It's like people think nazis were bad, not because of what they did, but simply because they were nazis.
I got, 7 - a random shield agent.
Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.
Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.
Schools, Fire, Library, Roads, Police, Transit, Post Office, these shouldn't be seeking to make money.
These sorts of things seeking profit for the sake of profit would actually be corruption.
OMG, how the love of capitalism has broken people's brains.
Profit is not how you measure success of a government service.
You measure the success of a government service by it's value to society, they can operate a a deficit, and that's 100% FINE.

Someone should check in on Pepsi, I'm not sure if it's okay
I'm so tired.
That sounds exactly like what I don't want to read :)
I saw this pop up and had no idea what the joke was or anything.
When I found it, it was:
> I was also sad that Jean Auel quit writing after The Mammoth Hunters!
I am assuming that the books she wrote after that were terrible in some way.
I don't understand how companies like using cloudflare when it has the "cloudflare verify you are human" page that sits there for 15 seconds in front of their websites.
I recently decided to not buy things from one company because it was sufficiently annoying to do this multiple times.
A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."
A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a childβs biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the childβs perception of the childβs sex if that perception is inconsistent with the childβs biological sex."
A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.
A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a βhealth care providerβ in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a childβs sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."
Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.
What's more, knowing something is available and not being allowed to have it, and knowing what it can do to help you..
The people denying you these things don't have anyone's best interest at heart.
It's staring at a glass of water that is just out of reach.
It's worse than just being thirsty.
It's not too late to wait, but it's also not good either.
In fact it's really really bad to make them wait.
So allies, don't sit there and smile and go 'it's not too late if you wait!"
The awfulness of making a kid watch in horror as their body betrays them.
It's going to create more work, more medical procedures, and more surgeries for later. And you are missing the time period where the results are just better.
Two things can be true.
18 is not too late to start hormones for trans people, absolutely true. People can get great results from that.
You probably aren't DOOMED if you don't
But that doesn't mean that it's okay to make people wait until 18 to start HRT. It's actually harmful to make kids wait
My hot take, or not hot at all take.
Monkey D. Luffy is just a Big Orange Cat who rarely gets the braincell
He loves his friends, he doesn't care about the specifics of a problem - he just hurls himself at it.
Also, it's time to eat.
In #ffxiv we're working on Heavyweight M4 Savage M12S - and every single pull we hear the announcer say:
"The president must pay for his crimes! Give him what for, Champion!"
I'm like mood, my friend. Big Mood.
Also, Everything Burns is a banger.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
It bugs me that men (it's almost always men) seem to think that posting extremely sexual things about their kinks and fetishes in transgender related spaces is 100% fine.
"what do you think of my kink..." he posts in /r/asktransgender
Then gets mad when we aren't appreciative.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Am I the only one getting pushed fake AI generated videos where people are fighting ICE agents?
Most recent one was a man spraying an agent with gasoline at a gas pump.
Makes me wonder if they are making a honeypot with this stuff.
Having transitioned in the late 1990s, and part of the community for years before, i am always amused by younger people not understanding just how different things are today.
Trans people absolutely existed, but we were almost 100% invisible to the general public.
Nothing was the same as today.
In the first two episodes the protagonist bumble his way into a dragon that recognizes him as being such a powerful mage, far more powerful than he is - so he gives you his kid to take care of.
Three episodes and I got bored.
It's an OP wizard being OP at everything, using their OP gathering powers to get max level stuff right from the start, with a deus ex machina to get him out of trouble.
In a lot of ways this reminds me of generic AI slop.
Humans can make generic slop too..
I like fantasy adventures that focus on crafting and gathering.
Especially a show that promises a dragon companion.
So I gave a gatherer's adventure in isekai a shot.
Ugh
I don't know how to prevent violent individuals from doing violent things.
But this trans person, or that immigrant, or that brown person, or that black person are individuals and that status was not the source of their violence.
If a member of minority group does something terrible, DO NOT go ask that same group of minorities what they think you should be done about that.
Even if acting good faith, you are still implying that being part of that group had something to do with it.
