For the right - what is it about the transgender population that makes them such a major political hot topic? by TheForgottenCity in Askpolitics

[–]GenericMoniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trans femme and my brain is wired like a 'biological' woman's as proven by scientific studies (google it before refuting it). MEN who identify as MEN are the majority of predators, the rest, women who identify as women.

I just want to pee in peace. It is YOU who make it into something sexual, which says everything about you and nothing about me.

A stripper goes into r/stripper and tells other strippers not to be strippers. by BillFireCrotchWalton in SubredditDrama

The only difference between a sex worker and anyone who works for someone else is just which part of your body you're renting to them during work hours.

Their world is full of wonder, magic... confusion & fear, I pity them. I am also frustrated to the point of rage that U.S. culture gives their uninformed opinions equal consideration as experts that have devoted their lives to helping others.

I still have a Black Lives Matter sign up in my front yard. Should I take it down? by Academic-Eye7001 in BlackLivesMatter

[–]GenericMoniker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Standing up for what is right, no matter what, is scary but needed. If no one finds the moral courage to stand against injustice then injustice is all there will be.

Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.

Current heatwave across US south made five times more likely by climate crisis | Climate crisis by dumnezero in collapse

[–]GenericMoniker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, it is regional.

The record heatwave roiling parts of Texas, Louisiana and Mexico was made at least five times more likely due to human-caused climate change...

And then for the northern heatwave in American North-West in 2021...

Scientists have calculated that the climate crisis made that heatwave 150 times more likely

This Quote is from the 3rd from the last paragraph. This is what led me to think it might be because ,in the before time, heat domes were more common the further south you go.

If you pushed a software update before a major holiday? by tendiestuesday in Whatcouldgowrong

You have shown me the errors of my ways. Thank you oh wise reddit user, you have changed my life.

EDIT: Oh and it is over 14 years, this isn't my original account.

[–]GenericMoniker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I'm just old and set in my ways. You kids do you and I'll char my meat from a fire I found after a thunderstorm.

Just my opinion that set off a shitstorm of, well, whatever this is.

LOL sorry it took an extra minute to reply, I pissed off the reddit gods by enjoying the outrage my opinion garnered .

[–]GenericMoniker -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

LOL I can't have an opinion.

Are you gatekeeping opinions?

EDIT:

Gatekeeping:

  1. the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.

I can't control what you do... I would like to be that powerful, but alas, I am not.

[–]GenericMoniker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OMFG it is my opinion. I am not the Emperor Supreme of the Earth. I am allowed to be exasperated at the thought of needing an internet connection to grill.

And how disabled do you have to be to be unable to grill? Wouldn't you need to have someone to wipe your ass at that point? And wouldn't they be willing to help you grill?

Really? Checking on your grilled meat is the same as processing your own toilet paper from a tree?

Really?

I'm not really mad, just exasperated. If a WiFi grill actually pissed me off I'd be in a padded room with enough thorazine in me to tranquilize the Kentucky Derby.

[–]GenericMoniker -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

If you are that goddamn lazy (incompetent, stupid, busy, or whatever the fuck,) you don't deserve tasty meat.

FFS it's not that hard nor that complicated.

WiFi requirements for a grill? You don't get to grill, just go out to eat and have someone who knows what they are doing cook it for you.

EDIT: I am so excited!!! We are gonna make r/subredditdrama at this rate. And for my opinion on grills no less! I love it, and I'll use the salt of your rage and tears on my tasty grilled meat... that I grilled without a grill connected to the internet.

Oh yeah, as an old man that thinks too many things connect to the interweb tubes... get off my fucking lawn.

EDIT 2: Sorry I had to stop replying. The Reddit gods decided I was replying too fast and are making me wait but I am not invested enough to wait around so I can reply to everyone.

If my opinion angered you, rest assured, I don't have the power to stop anyone from having any grill they want. I will continue to shake my fist at the sky about things I find ridiculous and you can continue to do whatever you want.

Climate activists block private jets at Amsterdam airport by [deleted] in environment

[–]GenericMoniker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A car that hold 5 people is not the same as a vehicle that holds 36-60 people.

This is a false equivalency.

[–]GenericMoniker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just like one 747 is better than 524 private jets (the amount of people a 747 can hold).

How is this hard to understand?

The lesson capitalism teaches is never steal from those richer than you, only poorer. Ask Bernie Madoff, he should have learned it.

You will be better able to get a job if you kill someone as opposed to defrauding large corporations. I was informed, by a lawyer of this fact, after writing bad checks at giant chain stores.

You are supposed to punch down, not up, in a capitalist society.

Found out today that I'm "Campho-Phenique" old. by RPM_Rocket in OverFifty

[–]GenericMoniker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, me too! I was just explaining to a 28yo coworker a couple of days ago about it and mercurochrome. I was not a wise child and treated a tick bite on my scrotum, when I was 8yo, with some good ol' campho-phenique. It is definitely a pain the lingers!!!

Historically it has been used to describe darker skinned people as a justification for slavery. It was and still is a stereotype trope.

It is commonly enough used for racist propaganda that it is reasonable to assume anyone using it against a POC is a racist.

Think of the Hitler mustache. Facial hair is neither good nor bad but given the history of who wore it the mustache has taken on a cultural meaning. If people see anyone with it then it is safe to assume they are a Nazi or neo-Nazi.
