@femloureed Your question has no context. I will assume you are talking about geese. Geese have sharp teeth. If a goose bites you it is probably your own fault. You need to pay attention. But I stopped loving geese after too many bites. Even if it was my fault, it was too many bites.

@jokeexpert @punished_daniel @PosterInternet it's cheaper for most amounts (0.002% fee on spot; min $2), plus the exchange is instant (rather than however long it takes to journal the shares)

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@punished_daniel why did they do that lmao

[aly @rustycabbbage]

weirdly aggressive for someone who didn't watch past the first ten seconds of the intro. over half the video is spent explaining how self-labeling is deleterious to developing personhood

[Ersatz @freezethesaint]

None of you are self-aware. You are howling narcissists. This woman starts this video off by listing her personality type, attachment style, horoscope, as if borrowed categories add up to a self. You think about yourselves too much and have mistaken it for introspection.

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@punished_daniel @PosterInternet ibkr is still better for large amounts even if it's way more annoying 😔

[aly @rustycabbbage]

the wording of this makes it seem like a bit of a pointless exercise.

Everyone who supported woke 1 had different priorities and things they disagreed with and people are just going to criticize others' sacred cows instead of reflecting on things they personally got wrong.

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

For those of us (nearly everyone) who recognize Woke 1.0 as a failure, what’s something specific you’re willing to say it got wrong? Here’s mine: the practice of describing policies that were, like, Kerner Commission recommendations as “prison abolition” to get attention was dumb

[aly @rustycabbbage]

if you think about it the reaction to this is basically the setup for The Drama

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@DeepDishEnjoyer can you really be successful without a tastefully thick off-white business card p4

[aly @rustycabbbage]

type of stuff people would say if 12 Angry Men were released today

[tylekurner @tylekurner]

something i've noticed about THE DRAMA, OBSESSION, BLUE FILM, EXIT 8, HOKUM, ERUPCJA, & UNDERTONE is a relative incuriosity about characters' lives beyond exposition. very hermetic, these people don't seem to exist outside of the immediate circumstances of the movie they're in.

gym pre vs post hrt teaching me if i ever get in a fight with a man im immediately biting

[aly @rustycabbbage]

obv there's undesirable behavior like being too agreeable, deceitfully harboring resentment, lacking discernment etc. etc. but dang the replies/quotes have a lot of imputed intentions that can really only be determined post-facto

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@LinkofSunshine kelly fraction would max out at 1% of your bank roll, so assuming income < 1B it's an easy yes if your net worth >10x your income?

still seems conservative, maybe if the future value is <1% of expected lifetime net worth or something

[adas 🟩G @adastroworld]

POV she asked if you wanted to go get a little treat and you said "sure if you want":

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@punished_daniel anyone mentioning video essayist community almost certainly means breadtube/nebula but even among them i dont think this well represents the content of hbomb or lindsay ellis or anyone whose main content wasnt "politics"

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@puppyuppuppep yeah pretty much, it does very much have the vibe of an imagined experience

[aly @rustycabbbage]

discourse on this comic reminds me of those people who say they won't read books written in first person because they would not do those things

[𝖇𝖚𝖌𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗𝕿𝕾.𝖇𝖘𝖐𝖞.𝖘𝖔𝖈𝖎𝖆𝖑 @bugbearTS]

i’m actually gonna hold my stance
that these two panels are deeply derogatory

and i guess zoomers didn’t take my misgivings very kindly

so i guess i should explain why i’m offended by this

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@moonchokes yup! tweet was too long to add "know what you write", &c&c

i feel like ive seen the comic resonate with enough people that it's more us being overexposed than the author subscribing to transmisogynistic rhetoric so i just hope they attempt more intricate narratives in the future

[aly @rustycabbbage]

@moonchokes Agree w the narratives being tired, esp since this one is mostly generic. probably why it rubs people the wrong way-too scant to dodge claims of seeking universality

that said i dont mind non-transfems creating transfem art given respectful intent which i think is true here

[aly @rustycabbbage]

i love reading about friendship breakups. like yeah it's been five years, eight years, ten years, seventeen years and they're still haunting dreams and memories, still out and about and away

[Daniel M. Lavery @daniel_m_lavery]

"I dream about my friend-exes all the time"

"I started seeing a second therapist"

"my ironclad sense of right and wrong took the idea as a threat: if I am a GREAT FRIEND you are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to reciprocate"

I interviewed my friends about their friendship breakups:

[aly @rustycabbbage]

all the japanese people on my timeline are happily married and talking about their soul mates. all the spanish and portuguese speakers are suffering the worst heartbreaks and breakups of their lives
