I think a lot of them are afraid of being censored by the fascism for being alarmist. And then trying to hold onto a position of relative power via information is a tricky one, because you have to balance not only your tv station, but the backers, your audience, your managers, your coworkers, your position, your career, and also your life. These people are really REALLY risk adverse, for many different reasons. I'm not justifying it, but I'm imagining this is at least the intuition that some may be working through. Explanation is not justification.
Wolverine? He can die, can't he? He's just really really hard to kill, to my knowledge, and just regenerates really really fast. But if she touches somebody and they instantly die.... That won't make much difference. Unless he's ACTUALLY immortal, rather than just effectively/virtually immortal and just really really hard to kill.
The fucked up part is that disinformation campaigns like these don't actually even stop people from transitioning, it just makes them confused for longer and likely more miserable. You can't stop gravity with a house of cards.
I can't help but see this with Nicolas Cage's face
Asking and respecting the answer is true big brain <3
Yeah because that was the problem and the solution to the wrong problem the whole time
You had me at the first quarter of that headline
It's popular transphobic/conservative rhetoric. That's it. It's vague and a dog whistle.
A dog whistle is a euphemism for saying one thing that only your base clearly hears, like a literal dog whistle and how only dogs hear it because human hearing is like 20hz-20,000hz, and dogs go up to like 70,000 or 100,000hz or something.
It's just a super shitty behavior in general, akin to passive aggression, in that it's purely destructive with no constructive recourse, thus Ada's swift decision and response (thanks Ada).
This begs the question: how "heavy" IS the earth?
We know it's massive, but weight is not mass, and weight is a function of mass accelerating through space-time because of gravity... Which..... Is... relative?
So could I say that the entire earth weighs... the same as... me? Since I am the body by which the earth's space-time relatively warps around? Or..... Because I'm accelerating away from the ground at my feet, but then also thus the earth from me because of newton's third law?
Checkmate, atheists.
Tldr: The earth weighs the same as you do, because of special relativity and newton's third law.
Why would you even do that? Give that asshole a fat ticket for doing something like that

Imagine:
It's 72 degrees, 9am, blue skies, green trees, you're under just a bit of shade, there's a cool, fresh breeze, and ~~shitting~~ sitting on a bench like the one in the picture with your honey, both giggling while the sounds of a river directly underneath you sweep away and clean all the waste as birds chip and you both talk about something inane like how jjk is just naruto on adderall and what's going to be for breakfast.
