You don’t think there was unprecedented purging of voter rolls? That’s really sad.

Right, and TikTok banned users it previously identified as being from the US rather than doing the IP-origin ban PornHub uses given they don’t require an account nor app.

More than TikTok’s US ban doesn’t mean much given they blocked users who originate from the US regardless of VPN location

My hotel’s vicinity, within it there is a store where I saw a suit that I want to try on.

It doesn’t say anything about going to the store and it is in the current tense of wanting to try on something that you past-tense saw within the subordinate clause.

Call of what if is and it becomes more clear.

DEI is diversity equity and inclusion. You know, inclusion of racial minorities, disabled people, and women in historically male dominated roles.

Disneys board rejected enacting a Trump inspired policy of racism, sexism, and general bigotry.

“Secure” also has the meaning of taking something with great difficulty, not simply defending. It’s a threat. All the rest is just using catastrophic/severe language to lure in followers to their cause.

Revolutionary fervor?

To really put this to rest:

Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.

腹: hara 切: kiri

Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹

Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk.

So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a glottal stop and skipping of part of the word.

I think you’re misreading ’ as "

I want to offer that cars have always involved government corruption. The invention of jaywalking, the corrupt development of the highways for “national security” while simultaneously hampering development of real public transit, the wars started for fuel, the extrajudicial killings of people threatening the fossil fuel industry with electric cars (historically), political corruption is the life blood of cars.

Can you elaborate? This sounds very interesting to me but I’m frankly not sure what the right questions would be here.

Yes, one of the primary components of attraction is familiarity. Also proximity and similarity.

No. We have been allowed defacto since 2013 and officially since 2016, but have been in the military the whole time.

…no? According to SPARTA over 76% of trans people in the military have been there for at least fifteen years

Actual functional user blocking. I don’t want users being able to see my comments and reply to them when I have blocked them and I was totally surprised when they did.

Greentext isn’t evidence…

There isn’t any evidence that that happens (non trans people receiving gender affirming care based on a false view that they are trans)

Exactly. Coming to terms with being trans, when trans people have been seen as nothing but the butt of far too many jokes in damn near all exposure most of us had growing up, is a difficult process rife with cognitive dissonance and defense mechanisms. No one wants to be trans, they just want to be their gender and have to be trans to get that.

My basic point is this: If it’s inflictable, it’s curable.

I for one knew my gender from about as young as I could talk (Edit: I repressed this for many years due to massive social pressures). I remember my assigned gender being inflicted upon me at a young age, when I did not immediately conform. If you asked me pre-transition but after I realized I was trans whether or not I would press a button and become cis in my assigned gender, I would say that that feels like losing a significant part of myself. If you were to ask me, if I could have pressed a button and become a cis in my actual, realized gender, I would have said yes and that it wouldn’t have been a major loss of self at all. This is true pretty much my whole life. But I lacked the self awareness to realize this about my self, and that has changed, not my actual gender. We are quite literally gaslit our entire lives in regards to our assigned gender. Usually, before one comes out, one tries to embrace their assigned gender only to find that they do not feel comfortable (i.e. dysphoria).

I don’t reject people having fluidity in their gender or sexuality. The way I view it, there is a multidimensional spectrum and people tend to inhabit different areas of it. If they did actually change sexuality or gender, and not just discover it, due to fluidity, then they might inhabit an area that includes something close to or exactly their assigned gender as well as their realized gender.

The leading theory for what makes people trans, and gay for that matter, is hormonal fluctuations during critical moments in fetal development. In other words, we are born this way.
