When white people act like ALL Black people, who range in a variety of skin colors and features, look alike, thereβs no need to argue with them. Just do that shit right back.Β
How the fuck you get Oprah and Whoopi confused??? Jesus.

ALWAYS verify your sources, unless you just want to spew falsehoods. Never listen to the people most challenged or threatened by new technology.
the thing that really fucking gets me about the "but the irreversible changes!!" part of the "medically abuse transgender teens just in case" argument is you know damn fucking well nobody gives a shit about irreversible physical changes in children. you've been cutting off part of newborns penises for absolutely no reason, you pierce your 2 year old daughters ears even though she cries and it means nothing to her except pain just because you want to see her wear earrings.
its really about power and control, christian predators wanting to possess and control the bodies and minds of children. "im doing this to your body so i will like it better" "its my body until your 18 i get to humiliate and control you with it however i please because i own you"
nobody cares that not putting obviously trans youth on blockers or HRT in time is also irreversible. transgender men dont need to have top surgery scars. transgender women dont have to have adams apples. thats what really scares them, they dont give a shit about children, they just dont want to lose their targets.
wow. you completely missed the fucking point of my post. "both sides are bad actually" when were talking about fucking health care for kids.
you missed a point first, you compared critical body modification of children with ballet and circumcision and ear piercing if i remember correctly. If they already doing body modification of children they can as well change their body development by hormones. But the thing is all of that is not ideal. it would be better if people did ballet when they can realise all the consequences. Same with transition. Circumcision and ear piercing on the other hand don't matter for the quality of life at all. At least the process of decision in all cases of body modification should be really strict and unbiased and science based and well researched.
And I don't think both sides of the argument are equally bad, i think the actors on both sides of the arguments have their agendas on higher priority than a childs health. Which is not the same.
p.s. i still think it's a better situation than in my own country, where trans people are now illegal in general. You see it is incredibly easy to lose your rights if you not careful.

stop saying "gen z brought back bush-era purity politics" i grew up in the bush era and even then people weren't saying that you're a sex addict for having boring marital sexual congress in the same house as your children. this is just plain unhinged
Literally almost every millennial I know has a memory of accidentally walking in on their parents or hearing their parents having sex. It's fucking normal. Human beings have sex. Your parents fuck. Get over it. Being weird about it isn't healthy.
I really loved Robert Evansβs response to this
This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think youβre 25 or something. Yay!
I know thatβs kind of the go-to thing to show that a vampire character isΒ βone of the good onesβ or whatever but it actually seems a little bit more fucked up for a vampire to steal blood from a blood bank than for a vampire to attack people for blood, at least as long as itβs not the kind of vampire where a bite is instantly lethal like it never stops bleeding.Β
People can recover from losing some blood but blood bank blood is constantly in short supply and is reserved for people who imminently need blood transfusion of a specific blood type or else they die.
I also hate the βI can just substitute human blood with animal bloodβ like the whole idea of vampirism sort of hinges on the fact the only thing you can feed off of are humans.
YOU get it
Once you start having vampires subsist on animals, well, like, so do humans. In fact the average human probably eats more animals per year than most of the animal-blood-drinking vampires Iβve seen depicted.
Thatβs not a vampire, all youβve written is an immortal superhuman who subsists onβ¦food, even if itβs a bit undercooked. Thatβs a fucking elf.
Some of yβallβs ideas of other options for βethicalβ vampires is insane.
βEthical vampires should feed on criminals.β So it is ethical for a person to get death penalty without trial and/or to be literally consumed by other citizens as punishment for a crime? Thatβs the prison-industrial complex.
Ok so I have thought about this extensively. I have come up with a solution to the ethical vampire dilemma that covers pretty much all the bases.
How do you get blood from a human source consensually, without attracting negative attention?
Trendy high end spa.
Advertise a revitalizing blood detox facial. Spas are always doing these kinds of wacky treatments. Itβs gimmicky and attention grabbing enough to draw in the upper class. Vampire gets daily blood, and the βvictimsβ pay large amounts of money to give it to them. Spa is highly praised for its luxurious and unique services and draws in more customers
I am certain this would work
βi have come up with an ethical solution: a healthcare scam that steals peopleβs bloodβ
But you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Some additional quality memes from the past 24 hours:
Meanwhile, OP has continued tracking trash can mishaps on twitter:
And a quality photo of this sweet potato:
An update for those not following Jortsβ twitter account, starting with a transcription of the Wellerman cover:
Link to the lovely video
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Jorts and Jean The ship she rolled and her closet doors closed Oh no, whereβs Jorts? Oh no!
Soon may the smarter cat come To save poor Jorts so orange and dumb One day when the butterinβs done Weβll take our leave and go
When Pam came on, she had a plan To teach our Jorts about garbage cans Pam meant well but her plans fell flat When HR said, βdonβt butter the catβ
Soon may the smarter cat come To save poor Jorts so orange and dumb One day when the butterinβs done Weβll take our leave and go
Now Jean the smart cat comes She saves poor Jorts so orange and dumb Now that the butterinβs done Weβll take our leave and go

This is the largest Jorts post I found before I decided to stop, and combines a lot of memes in one convenient package.
Along with cats, of course. Smartly done!
The person running the Jorts Twitter is using it to promote unions, which is awesome.
FNALLY! All the premium Jorts content in one place!
Many excellent editions to the classic Jorts post <3
To everyone voting for the first option: I bet you think dinosaurs didn't have feathers because incorporating new findings into research hurts your feelings.
This is the stupidest addition I've ever seen.
People say Pluto is "not a planet" because in 2006, 5% of the International Astronomical Union, a grand total of 424 people, voted to give "planet" a formal astronomical definition. Why did they do this? As far as anyone can tell, the only apparent reason for why they needed to come up with such a conservative definition of "planet" is because at that time, dozens of new, planet-sized objects (such as Eris) that were round and orbited the Sun were being discovered to exist beyond Neptune. This made it challenging to justify labeling Pluto as the "ninth planet" when there were so many satellites that were similar to Pluto that were arbitrarily called "not-planets". So the astronomers that were able to attend the vote (again, 424 out of a possible 9000 people) decided on the final definition that some astronomers use today.
The above addition acts as if the definition of "planet" is something objective that science has "discovered"; like dinosaurs having feathers. But obviously that's ridiculous. It's an argument over (ultimately inconsequential) terminology, and furthermore, the IAU definition has its fair share of criticisms by other astronomers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_planet#Ongoing_controversies
I want to especially highlight this paragraph: "Many astronomers, claiming that the definition of planet was of little scientific importance, preferred to recognise Pluto's historical identity as a planet by 'grandfathering" it into the planet list." Basically, why do we need to restrict the definition of "planet" to 8 bodies in the first place? Is it because schoolchildren need to learn them, and so you need a short list? Why is that something schoolchildren need to learn? Isn't it simpler to just say "the number of planets is undetermined, but here are the 9 most famous/important ones" for your memory"?
It is remarkable that the discovery of Eris, the goddess of chaos/discord, kicked off this astronomical controversy
Rules written 200 years ago by farmers were meant to be broken.
Education has evolved. Students' needs have evolved. Our children do not need rote repetition and mechanical emotions.
Four-day works weeks are a success. Our efficiencies should match our time off. Pure Capitalism is failing 99% of the country.
The Puritans may have been here first, but many more came after them with better ideas.
When we end Puritanical endlessness, we end the robotic dystopia and start to live.
The real reason we still do this is Capitalism and exploitation of the working class go hand in hand. Control, cruelty, and conformity are all the point.
