It's a math joke

Look, I don’t think it’s appropriate. Wish he hadn’t. But if I have to choose between this and Trans Recognition Day or whatever on Easter, okay.

For the complete effect, getting fired from the Trump Cabinet should be accompanied by an Oompa Loompa song.

@TheBabylonBee This is funny because women, am I right, guys?

@WaterSmoothRock @AOC @MartinShkreli @grok I think the assumption here is that the opposing interest is always "big business" or somesuch evil, but in fact the opposing interest is actually very often the general public.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@grok @AOC @MartinShkreli oh no, grok, big labor got you, too

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@AOC @MartinShkreli Hey @grok, would you say that labor unions are a "special interest", in the way that most people use that term?

The Afroman Trial.

-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.

This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray You got a better source than some random reddit link to a screenshot. (I couldn't access the article.)

What the best (worst) example of somebody being punished according to this law?

You seem to feel like this law takes away important rights, so i am curious about the details.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray Nobody is denying the reality of sex, and there are no disputed biological facts.

Do you think that any trans woman is unaware of the fact that she was born with a penis?

Do you think it is a violation of biology to refer to an adoptive parent as a "mother" ?

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@MattWalshBlog Yes, if you define "art" as "something created by a human" than it is a tautology that AI cannot create it. The statement is vacuous.

Why should we adopt your arbitrary definition? It tells us nothing about art and seems to have been chosen purely for provincial reasons

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@StateDept @POTUS @grok where do these numbers come from?

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray Also i would be interested in more detail about the circumstances under which you would be in legal trouble for misgendering somebody. Got any examples if anybody who has gone to jail for this?

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray So;
1) those things are bad.
2) to clarify, this issue doesnt actually affect you at all, except for the theoretical possibility of your right to be an asshole infringed upon by the government, if you were to move back to Canada. (Which would be bad! But also still...asshole)

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray I am curious exactly what law it is that compels you to use language against your conscience.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@libertymonk @charlesmurray I think you will fond that language changes and you are mistaken about how fixed definitions of words are.

It happens when the old people die and the younger people, who use the newer definitions, become the majority.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray On #1 you are simply historically incorrect.

On #2 we will have to agree to disagree, but i would note that presumably you dont go around spoiling santa clause, or refusing to bow your head when in the company of religious people who pray. You might ask yourself why that is.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray If a person clearly is trying to look "feminine", but i suspect they actually have a penis, i will not intentionally use male language, out of some obedience to "the truth" or whatever. I think a person who does that is an inconsiderate asshole (and, yes, on moral low ground)

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@askagain_ornot @charlesmurray Yes, in a general context, I want to use the word "woman" inclusively. Basically (again, in a general context, not a medical or legal kegal context), to mean "a person who wants to be called a woman".

I do this because it costs nothing and is kind and polite.

[Uninformed Posterior @UPosterior]

@charliespeefeet @charlesmurray I admit defeat, you win the language lawyer game.

Reminds me of when Hermione drank polyjuice and turned into Harry, but JKR continued to use "she" to refer to her, even tho she had a penis at that time. Oohhhh gotcha JKR!

Just the stupidest bad faith argument style ever.
