Hell, they'll yell at cis women that are just taller than average or have a short haircut. Or, even more likely, is a PoC.

maybe they think that trans people are so indistinguishable from cis people that anyone they meet could be secretly trans?

Yet they'll claim "they can always tell" when it comes to yelling at a cis woman trying to use the bathroom.

But then someone might get some benefit from their tax dollars!

Yup, it absolutely crushes them to not only think that someone would actively reject masculinity, but it also can trigger some serious issues questioning their sexuality when they're attracted to a transwoman. It's kind of a "Hurt itself in its confusion" moment because their internal crisis could be fixed by just saying "Yeah, I like women and she is a woman" but instead have this deep sense of self-hatred because they're attracted to "a guy".

It's also part of the reason they really don't give a shit about transmen. It's understandable they'd want to want to be a man, because of course they would, being a man is awesome! They don't have to question their sexuality, because even if they're super masc, they're still a woman, so they're definitely not even a little gay.

When we're hiking 15 miles per day and were drinking 4 gallons of water per person in the New Mexico heat, stopping to set up a fire and boil ~40 gallons of water in the middle of the hike wasn't really an option. I also appreciated not having to carry 32lbs of water on me all day long.

Link played by Eliot Page and Zelda by Hunter Schafer? Even if it was so bad it made the OG Super Mario Bros. movie look like The Godfather by comparison, I'd still buy a ticket to support them.

Boiling isn't necessary. They make antimicrobial tablets you can add as well. We used them when I was on a 2 week backpacking trip and basically just used a bandana folded over 4 times for sediment, fill at the top of the water with the neck facing downstream, and then add a disinfectant tab and let it sit for however long it says. It tasted a bit like pool water if you drank it immediately, but if you filled all your bottles at once, they usually didn't taste very chlorinated and it was pretty amazing water.

A shocking number of people feel this way, including myself, but damn if I don't love my boobs now.

I've talked with some cis women as well and apparently the feeling is pretty common for them too when they go through puberty. Boobs are kinda awkward, and very visible and draw attention, so there's kind of a natural hesitancy about them in the back of your mind.

Obviously it's a joke for the comic, but if you're ever in a situation like this, you can sand down the lip of the can lid on a rough surface (like a concrete floor) and it will open up.

I think you're underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn't like it. Anyone who's ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.

He's not playing 4D chess, he's playing baby's first turn-based strategy game and even then he's not very good at it.

Or that is so good, they don't need anything more than word of mouth. And I mean real word of mouth, not the fake influencer shilling that relies on parasocial relationships "word of mouth"
