Did she get snubbed by someone who’s ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.

Like, oh no.

They don’t experience sexual attraction.

That means they’re probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn’t ace. Isn’t that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?

What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.

(Yes, I know she’s not actually a feminist, but it’s another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)

Who’s gonna do that? Like, who’s gonna start rounding them up? The DoJ is on Trump’s side, and the Judicial branch needs them to actually enforce shit.

There are many types of mosquitoes, but only a few suck blood. It’s the bloodsuckers they’re talking about when they say no one would miss them.

Yeah, but, imagine the possibilities in humans

Thanks, I kinda fucking hate it. Everything about it looks wrong.

At least you can have a pet rat and there are plenty of guides on what to feed them.

God meant for opossums to be pets and just wanted humans to do some selective breeding to increase their lifespans.

Humans decided their fur was too soft and they looked too much like rats. Obviously the only course of action was to kill them.

I love humans /s

I imagine this creature would probably be almost entirely invisible under water and look like just a pair of eyes and a spine.

What if there are bigger fish?

shrug Idk if it’s really that insane. Tbh I’m not convinced the hype isn’t being manufactured. I have a cousin who’s a pretty bog standard, flavor-of-the-month gamer, and he’s said nothing about GTA VI.

Not saying you’re necessarily wrong, I guess, just that something seems off.

No, I’m honestly surprised. I’ve barely heard anything about GTA VI. Seriously. I don’t care about it, none of my friends have talked about it despite being the kinda game that they’d be into, and I’ve only seen one or two articles on it.

You sure it’s that highly anticipated? My observation is that people have gotten really sick and tired of AAA games, and this is a shift that’s occurred since RDR2 came out. Very few of the people I know still regularly play AAA games, and those who do almost never buy them on launch. I haven’t seen anywhere near the same amount of hype for GTA VI as I saw for GTA IV or GTA V.

You’re accusing me of being disingenuous? Maybe you’re the one who’s buying into the hype and overestimating public interest. Or perhaps the true answer is somewhere in the middle. Who knows. I was not intentionally downplaying your favorite series though.

Wait, do people still get excited for GTA? I thought GTA V online killed a lot of goodwill for the series.

I’m a trans woman living in Texas. How do you think I feel? No one’s having a good time right now, buddy. I fully anticipate that I will be dead or in a concentration camp within one or two years because, as of right now, I have no way to escape and I’m still working on trying to find groups to organize with.

As far as I’m concerned, my days are numbered.

I have no future.

At least there’s a chance that they’ll get distracted by some shiny new thing and won’t invade Canada.

No one’s having a good time right now.

WHY ARE PEOPLE ON THIS GODFORSAKEN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM SO FUCKING INTENT ON USING ENDEARING TERMS AS INSULTS!? FIRST I CATCH SOMEONE CALLING A PEDOPHILE A GREMLIN, NOW I CATCH YOU CALLING TRUMP A “GIRL DICK” LIKES IT’S AN INSULT. YOU WANNA KNOW WHO HAS GIRL COCKS? TRANS WOMEN. FUCKING STOP IT.

Just refer to that thing in the Whitehouse as subhuman trash like the rest of us. Calling that thing a girl cock doesn’t do anything except make trans women feel degraded.

As someone who has gremlins in her life (and sometimes engages in gremlin activity herself): don’t refer to that thing as a gremlin. Gremlin is a playful and endearing term, not something that should be applied to questionably-human pieces of shit.

The number one thing I’ve been missing are Spotify jams. Spotify also has a wider selection of music, but tbh it’s rare for Spotify to have something that Qobuz doesn’t. Spotify also has lyrics, playlist folders, and audiobooks; though tbh I haven’t checked to see if Qobuz has the latter.

I love Qobuz. Also for those of you trying to boycott US goods, it’s a French company. I just wish it had the same adoption and features as Spotify.

I mean, they could introduce a new character who takes shelter in a mysterious, dilapidated research facility during the 7 hour war and finds themselves in a hellish labyrinth of puzzles. Maybe said character finds Chell in the field and helps release her (there’s some speculation Chell never made it out, but was actually in some kind of biosphere based on some in-game hints).

“This video should challenge us all to commit to making the Kennedy Center a place where everyone is welcomed,” writes Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell, a Trump appointee who is also the special presidential envoy for special missions, on X. “It troubles me to see that so many in the audience appear to be white and intolerant of diverse political views. Diversity is our strength. We must do better. We must welcome EVERYONE. We will not allow the Kennedy Center to be an intolerant place.”

Hold up. What did you just say?

“It troubles me to see that so many in the audience appear to be white and intolerant of diverse political views. Diversity is our strength. We must do better. We must welcome EVERYONE. We will not allow the Kennedy Center to be an intolerant place.”

W-what? I’m sorry, what!? What the actual fuck do you think you’re saying with those words? Those words have no business coming out of your mouth.

Damn, you must be a pretty shallow-minded person to miss the fact that the culture war is perpetuated by the rich to keep us from working together. Racism, religious institutions, sexism, queerphobia, these are tools that the rich and powerful use to keep us divided. When you allow them to wage a culture war unopposed, you are letting them use their ideological “weapons of war” without retaliation.

And no, this isn’t just about wanting to be called a woman. This is about being made illegal for who I am. I can’t fight against the wealth gap if I’m in prison for having tits and a dick, now can I? I can’t fight against the wealth gap if I’m struggling from derealization, depersonalization, dissociation, and suicidal depression brought about by crippling dysphoria as a result of being unable to access estrogen, now can I?

If I dared to suggest we prioritize reducing the disparity in wealth over fighting a culture war, you people immediately assume I’m an enemy.

No, because doing one means doing the other. Who do you think is waging the culture war in the first place?

Personally, as a trans person, I don’t want your loyalty. I don’t care about your loyalty. We don’t know one another at all so I don’t even know if you’re someone I’d actually want to hang around; and I’m not gonna ask for loyalty from a total stranger.

What I want is for you to act like a decent human being and understand that the culture war is part of a much larger war about wealth inequality; and that you’re going to struggle if you allow your allies to slowly get picked off by the ones waging the war in the first place. If that occurred then the best you could hope for would be a pyrrhic victory that leaves you asking, “we won, but at what cost?”
