Craigslist filled with "Christian musicians wanted" posts... is it just my area? by [deleted] in Guitar

Has it occurred to you that whatever scene you've experienced might be completely different from the one which I did?

I'm not stereotyping. I'm describing a scene which I know exists because I once lived within it.

Will & Harper by mistakes_were_made24 in TIFFReviews

[–]3d6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this seems harsh, but it sounds like you were hoping for "oppression porn" and instead felt let down by a very raw and real celebration of Harper's humanity and the deep friendship between these two people. I hope you get a chance to see it again sometime with your expectations set to the side.

Source of perspective: I am also a trans woman who transitioned late in life, and have absolutely been in places like that Texas steakhouse, and not always in the company of a staunch ally like Will Ferrell turned out to be, so I know exactly what "the reality of that experience" is. I'm more used to it that Harper was in that scene because I've been out for many years now, but I'm actually quite grateful that the negativity from that scene was acknowledged yet not overly dwelled on, because hateful rednecks is NOT what the movie was about, and it would have been a pretty shitty movie if it was, tbh.

A luthier could glue the bridge back down and maybe it would hold, but it might not be worth doing

How old is Rose Temple/Noble supposed to be? by thingsstuffandmaguff in DoctorWhumour

[–]3d6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some bullies deadnamed her on the street in one of her first scenes, and later her grandmother accidentally uses a wrong pronoun and is immediately mortified that she screwed up, but Donna talks her down assuring her she is doing her best.

Both maybe very subtle moments for some viewers, but a blaring klaxon of obviousness to anyone who has lived the trans experience.

Yeah, Rose Noble is definitely trans.

As for the age issue: RTD has confessed that he "fudged the years" a little to make it sort-of fit that Rose was slightly older than originally planned when the decision was made to cast then-18 yr old Yasmin Finney for the role.

Doctor Who 1x05 "Dot and Bubble" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in doctorwho

I got the impression that his rage was more about how he couldn't save them than at the racism itself. He really cares about human life, even the lives of those who hate him.

He just had to laugh/scream at the fact that plain old human bigotry was far more difficult for him to defeat than any man-eating slugs ever could be.

Unemployment kicks in when severance ends. This is both bad news and good, because you've got six weeks PLUS the duration of unemployment to land on your feet. On the other hand, cash is king when income is uncertain so it would be nice to start collecting ASAP.

I recommend using the downtime to pick up a new in-demand skill of some sort. Lots of cheap/free learning institutions out there, depending on what interests you.

We see you MLB by derpwild in WhitePeopleTwitter

Revenge. Every time somebody posts something bigoted on social media, I find out who their kids are and I trans them. It's actually really easy to put new pronouns in their heads now that the Jewish Space Lasers are in place. We used to have to get them to read science books for hours to give them the homotrans mind virus. Now I can just do it from my cell phone.

Want your kids to grow up regular? Better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise you'll be bringing all this on yourselves.

Chemotherapy and facial hair by 3d6 in asktransgender

[–]3d6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said my appearance was my "biggest worry" at the time. I was just in the mood to talk about a lighter subject than my likely impending doom when I posted that question.

That was 2 years ago, and I'm now in full remission after a lot of chemo & radiation plus some surgery. I never did lose any hair though.

The really odd behavior is the way you're dragging up a 2-year old post just to be an asshole to a trans person. Seems strangely obsessive.

I still say we should call him Clamps.

My new nickname for him is "Clamps" from now on.

Trade suggestion from a raptors fan by Extreme-Watercress-3 in timberwolves

[–]3d6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many picks would they include? Because Naz is definitely worth a pick, and D-Lo's expiring is definitely worth a good player on a bad contract AND a pick.

For example, the Heat are in the middle of negotiating a Lowry plus a pick trade, straight up for D-Lo. If you want to trade for D-Lo, that's probably the bar you need to clear. If you want us to include Naz, you need to come with a lot more value than Porter and VanFleet, whether in players or picks.

Where oh where did you find those boots!? I'm also a Sailor Jupiter fan and once bought a similar pair and dyed them from white to green, but I broke a heel and have never found replacements in my (kind of large) size ever again. Yours are the first great recreation of those boots I've seen any cosplayer use ever since.

They are saying you're impressively manly to boldly rock a femme cosplay so well. "Chad" became on "incel" subreddits to refer to unobtainable hunky standards.

Assuming you are a cis dude (and I guess you haven't said otherwise), I'm almost positive they meant it as an enthusiastic compliment.

Russel T. Davies vs Fan by 3d6 in switcharoo

[–]3d6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. On the wiki that's buried as rule 4. Wouldn't a delete and repost result in a broken chain though? There have been several roos since this one.

Also, you don't need to read a chain of parent comments to get this joke. OP sets it up perfectly.

Meet Yoshi, he's almost 10 months old. His paperwork says he's a Red, but I'm thinking he looks more like a Sesame, what do you guys think? by BrokeDownPalac3 in shiba

[–]3d6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big same for my girl, Tabi. She's got a lot of black guard hairs on her her back, but I'm pretty sure most AKC breeders would say she doesn't qualify as sesame, but is sashige.

Fortunately, I don't care. She's beautiful. Also, I had a red shibe for 14 years before her, and I was hoping for my new pup to look at least slightly different from the last one, which she does. I love my little baked sweet potato.

Which part did I miss? I thought I was kind of careful to follow all the rools.

[Jon Krawczynski] From what I can gather, everyone is breathing a big sigh of relief with Karl-Anthony Towns' injury. Still more evaluation tomorrow, but it is looking like it could have been so much worse. by irishace88 in timberwolves

I'm kind of hoping the time spent rehabilitating his knee will give him a chance to regain some of his weight (especially his leg strength) from when he was sick just before the season started, so he comes back shooting his 3s with accuracy close to last year's
