The trouble with american units is that they have odd multiples, right? So what's stopping them from using kilofeet and centifeet?

I wonder how NexusMods would react to a mod that replaces Pride flags with a Muslim flag.

Had a dream that Trump won the 2024 elections, but with Kamala Harris as his VP. Also his first action as president was to pardon Joe Biden.

I'm honestly getting more attention on that post than I thought I'd get or wanted... It's not bad so far... but still, I'm not a fan of being in the spotlight.

Things used to be simple... easy to understand... men were men, women were women...

Now I don't even know who the world belongs to anymore. Is it David Guetta's or Hatsune Miku's?

You know how I can tell that, when a person identifies as trans online, they do it for the attention?

Online you can be ANYTHING. You can be an anonymous anime cat girl avatar person and just put "woman" in your bio, AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE ANY CLUE YOU WERE TRANS IF YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING, and you'd "pass" and people would call you after your presented identity.

You wouldn't need to flaunt your pronouns in your bio, you wouldn't need to deal with transphobes, you'd have acceptance.

And all you'd need to do is actually act like a woman, to actually talk/write like a woman, and not to mention your private medical transition information (that you shouldn't share with strangers anyway).
But you won't do it. So why not?

My theory is that it's because there's a performative aspect behind the entire thing. But I await other explanations.

I'm sorry, but what the fuck... What's wrong with you people... Who the fuck gets triggered by eye contact, and how bad could it possibly be that you need a content warning...

This just reminds me of another freak I found in YouTube comments once, that demanded a content warning from the Doctor Who show, because they showed the Doctor plucking a strand of hair out of someone's head. I get that there are some really mentally sick people out there, that obsessively pluck their own hair out and end up looking butt ugly because of it. And I understand that for such people, seeing that in a show can trigger the behavior and generally make them uncomfortable, but....

But whether it's the hair thing or the eye contact thing, understand that at best you're 1 in a million people who are actually affected by this. It is not reasonable or normal in any way to demand the entire society accommodate your extremely rare issue.

Grow some metaphorical balls and deal with your issue yourself, because demanding society do it for you is measurably a bigger detriment for mankind.
Why do I say that? Let's do a thought experiment. Measure the energy and time used for 7 billion people to not only get educated on the thousands of niche sensibilities some weirdos have but to also create systems that ensure they are constantly reminded to check against a list of those thousands possible sensibilities before doing anything.
Now measure what it would take for the several thousands of people to go into therapy so they can deal with those sensibilities themselves instead. I promise you, this is by far the more ecologically friendly way of doing things.

I'm sorry that you have some strange psychological issue that makes you experience great discomfort from things the rest of us find mundane. And I honestly have no problem in learning about such conditions, as I would find them interesting. But I absolutely REFUSE to change my behavior on your request, because doing so would mean I'd have to change my behavior to suit thousands of others weird one-off psychological issues, which would then drastically worsen my livelihood, way more than I'd improve yours by avoiding to do a niche thing that one time.

I honestly can't wait for the day when someone will ask me: "So what did you do this weekend?", and I'll be able to answer with: "Oh, I just went to the Racism Museum and learned how to racism".

Considering we have museums that commemorate various wars and war atrocities, do you think there will come a time when we have museums of racism?
