Even if it was full they should have found an alternate method of securing the body. They’re already dead, they don’t need a seat.

That’s basically just bats in general, in terms of zoonosis. They live in giant colonies (tons of opportunities for new mutations) and are natural reservoirs of ebola and other diseases.

Don’t eat bat if you have the choice not to, basically.

That makes the one shitty English teacher I had stand out even more in my mind. She wasn’t quite Roald Dahl character level shithead, but she was close. I’m pretty sure her being ex-military had a lot to do with it.

The ketamine bit isn’t speculation at all, he’s publicly admitted to it and says he has a prescription. At his income bracket that basically means he wanted it, so he got it.

I agree that it’s probably not (only) ketamine giving him bloodshot eyes all the time, who knows what that is though.

Then look in the mod log. You know you can just do that and ctrl + F “futa”, right? Maybe while you’re doing that you could write out a scenario that you imagine would be appropriate to use that in a post, so you can see how little resemblance it bears to what actually happened.

It’s clear you’ve been seething about your first account ban from here ever since it happened and haven’t learned anything from it. If you’re just here to yell at trans people about how they’re oversensitive and wrong, take a fucking moral inventory my dude.

Do you think it wouldn’t be sexual harassment to bring it up in an unrelated context because an image was posted of someone you thought was sexy?

Because this isn’t hypothetical, this happened yesterday in one of the LBZ communities. That’s what this post is about. Maybe don’t come in hot to explain to everyone how actually it’s a perfectly fine term to use.

I’d consider it to be used as a slur if someone came in here and asked for a hug from the hermaphrodite in a meme someone posted, too.

We’re also not speaking Japanese, we’re speaking English, and how the English speaking population uses it is what is relevant. Search “futanari” with safe search off and tell me it’s not a porn term.

We did them a time or two in elementary/primary school. They put headphones over your ears and play some beeps and you raise your hand when you hear beeps. That’s how they did it 30ish years ago, anyway.

You don’t have to say things explicitly, although there’s certainly value in that. Just maintaining an environment where you consistently shut down chud shit says as much as a long winded political rant. Saying vs doing, you know?

If this happens to you constantly, consider asking an audiologist to be tested for auditory processing disorder. It’s a little trickier to diagnose than straight up hearing loss because your hearing abilities are unaffected, so it doesn’t get pinged on those hearing tests they have you do at school.

There’s not really anything you can do about it other than intentionally practice picking out different sounds to try to beef up the part of your brain that’s slacking, but knowledge is power and all that.

4 out of 7 of those arrested so far have been reported to be women.

My experience as a gay trans dude has been that cis gay men are about as exclusive and transphobic as any other cis segment of the community ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did this scare the absolute shit out of anyone else? 😅

 

There are roughly 13,000 acres on fire within 20 miles of me (and about 10 million other people). Fortunately since I have asthma we already have 2 air purifiers that are running full blast.

Probably the scariest part of how toxic the air is right now is that it looks absolutely clear outside. Without checking the weather I would have never known it was that bad.

 

Taken along the LA River. I didn’t get a good picture, but I also saw a male and female hooded merganser pair, along with more wigeons, coots, and grackles than you could shake a stick at.

 

It should show up on the site with the discount automatically, but if it doesn't the discount code is BIKEYEAR25

If you don't already have a helmet, this one is $20 and rated on par with more expensive helmets by Consumer Reports.

 

You can also ride for free with Metro Micro or on Metro bikes by entering a code: Ring25

Free rides end at 3 am on Jan 1st, so take advantage of it!

 
 

Latest hits: if gender is performative that means it’s fake and patriarchy doesn’t exist! I don’t know who Judith Butler is!
