That's not even horrifically expensive in most cities. I've seen people pay $20/shot at some bars.

As someone who was reckless on one and did something almost identical, even in gear this kinda hurt. Still, it was something I was able to walk off and recover with some ibuprofen, and if I was wearing my pants, probably not even that. This dude is going to have a concussion and need skin grafts, at minimum.

Idk, while I obviously try to appreciate everyone's experiences and don't like making broad statements, it can be hard to not feel that way when literally every femboy I've met eventually transitioned, myself included...

That's not to say it's a great take, but it's definitely understandable why people would feel that way. Especially since for me personally, it was very much a coping mechanism for being trans.

Again not trying to invalidate anyone's experiences, just kinda venting my own personal thoughts/feelings on the matter.

What are her takes on femboys?

They're tied to the same thing, because they think women are weak and pathetic, thus need protection (so they're the ones who get to abuse them instead).

He did it purely to spite the actual founders of Tesla, whose car that was supposed to be. There was a long legal battle over the first cars off the line, and because Musk has always been a giant pissbaby, he decided to send it into space as a "There, now no one can have it" move.

I mean, there's a reason there's literally an entire famous game series that's a satire of Japan's messed up law system.

The stupid thing is that even this isn't necessarily the case. Even in countries that have public healthcare, there are still private options for those who want "fancier" care. The true statement is that they would only be able to rip off the wealthy, instead of everyone in the country.

If there's a small, low-res image on my phone, it now asks if I want to upscale it, and tends to have this kind of "soft" effect to it.

Still is, honestly. We still use asbestos in a ton of stuff, but we're just generally a lot more careful about using it fortunately, and not doing as many open-air asbestos shoveling competitions upwind from the schoolyard.

Nick Shirley, the "Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud" guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he's not particularly sharp.

I'm so, so fucking sick and tired of all the doomer shut-in fuckwits who think that we're going to fix this by doing a Jan 6 style raid on the White House. That's not how any of this works. I went to a No Kings protest. You want to know what happened before/after the "parade"? Thousands of people signed up to move our state towards ranked choice voting, information was given out on protecting your community from ICE, and people are getting resources to be more politically active. Literally every political advocacy org in my area has absolutely exploded and we're at a point where we're having to pause memberships because there are so many people trying to join.

Real change takes a bit of fucking time and I'm so, so, so sick and tired of all the people who act like no one is doing anything, while they themselves do fuck-all but doom scroll on Lemmy and post about how it's all over.

It's a boss battle, and bitching about how people are just dodge rolling and parrying and have barely chipped away at the health bar is absolutely asinine.
