@5708ski@kevin_smith45@krassenstein in fact it’s happened 16 times before: 1950, 1956, 1960, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1975, 1993, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2018
this isn’t even counting when they gave it to “the computer” or “the endangered earth” or “the spirit of ukraine”
@mungowitz do people not know that you do not have to immediately send your child to kindergarten? if they have an august birthday, you can always hold them back and they can be the oldest kid instead—this is completely viable.
@quadcarl FDT, but I am pretty sure he was referring to this the RBOB Gasoline futures market (he has no concept of what the retail price is, of course)
Whenever I see the phrase “can’t be topped,” it does not matter what the context is, I will automatically picture a 45 year old butch rolling up her flannel and looking me dead in the eye before saying “We’ll see about that,” before flashing a flirtatious and knowing wink.
honestly the only threes pieces of advice i have for trans people are:
•read every piece of trans theory, history, and fiction you can get yr hands on
•work to reduce and then eliminate yr negative self-talk
•improve yr posture
everything else, just use yr best judgment
@MileHightheGrey not that every transition story involves that level of depression, but it is definitely one of the narratives.
anyway, yes, fables and stories of transformation are often seen as relatable to trans folks, and The Little Mermaid is not exception.
@MileHightheGrey now go watch Barbie (2023) through this lens and consider the story of a someone who goes from intrusive and unexplained thoughts of death to transforming into a Real Person at the end.
@BartHanson A few times a month seems about right. I really don’t pay much attention but I definitely notice whenever they bunch together because it is rare.
I also don’t pay much attention if it happens after we get all the money in pre-flop.
