  The first time I get a tip option after completing a game is the day I decide to go full Butlerian Jihad.

  lol, he absolutely wants to make ChatGPT unable to badmouth him or contradict all his pet bigotries.

  You don’t know that Lincoln’s ghost isn’t in the internet!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abraham⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine being Lincoln’s ghost and just seeing people dressed as you come to the place you died to take photos of themselves. Insulting or complimentary? I’m not going to risk ghost Lincoln’s wrath to find out!

  Colloquially it’s called a scalie, but it’s all considered furry. There’s bird furries, amphibian furries, bug furries, even robot furries.

  No deer?? But venison tastes so good! This is honestly surprising to me, I would have thought anywhere deer were native they’d be a traditional food source.

  Neat, a potential FCC violation. I don’t know if this violates the advertisement disclosure requirement for political ads, but I bet someone at the FCC does.

  The only thing your child needs if they have gender dysphoria is love and support. Period. If they are asking for a name change or pronoun change, listen to them. If they are asking for hormone blockers or hormones and that scares you, get therapy. Actually get therapy with a therapist knowledgeable about LGBT issues anyway, because you need someone to keep you from inadvertently traumatizing your child.

  This isn’t a dig at you, this is true of any parent of a trans kid. I am that kid ~25 years down the road and I am legitimately lucky to be alive after dealing with gender dysphoria by myself and surviving a suicide attempt as a teen.

  I encourage you to read this Scientific American article that goes into detail on all the evidence about what support (or lack of it) does for trans youth.

  Craft stuff does legitimately go on sale. Fabric always gets deep discounts, and sewing/craft machines and tools also get a decent discount. It’s a great time to pick up stuff for a hobby you’ve kind of been interested in but weren’t sure you wanted to drop the money on it.

  Maybe that perspective is unnecessary, unempathetic, and unrealistic. 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to stop thinking about an interaction from my past?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would want to shit down the throat of anyone who said that to me immediately after I shared an upsetting memory that had bothered me for years.
