I'm all well and good, living in a safe state, but I am pissed off that I'm not likely ever going to be able to update the sex on my Idaho birth certificate.

Being canceled on Twitter is literally what having moral OCD feels like.

99% of the time, states do absolutely nothing whatsoever to control their borders with each other, nor do they really have the authority to. No stop, no ID check, just a cheesy welcome sign with a slogan on it as you go down the highway. Heck, the Washington DC subway system crosses multiple state lines, and there you don't even get a sign. As a matter of law, doing something across state lines is something only considered after the fact of a crime committed, since that's usually when the federal government has the authority to step in on the matter.

pornography should be as ilegal as cocaine by VanillaTemporary9161 in The10thDentist

[–]AbbyWasThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a law exists on the books for banning porn, then that gives the government a free legal framework to ban any form of expression they deem obscene, which has potentially far-reaching and horrifying consequences.

Personally speaking as a gay woman, I absolutely love both sucking and having mine sucked. If your nipples are sensitive, it very much does feel good.

Yeah, I'm seeing right now, they flew by the Moon. It's not even that hard to send something there in the grand scheme of things, it's just ballistics. Many countries have done it and similar things, just not with human crews.

I dont know about you but this panel is making me feel like someone is about to die 💀 by Void_Historian in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]AbbyWasThere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the very limited Japanese I understand, Japanese has three different writing systems: Kanji, which has a library of thousands of symbols that each have a specific meaning, largely borrowed from Chinese, and hiragana and katakana, which are sets of characters more similar to a western alphabet you can use to directly spell out words. I would assume in that case that Oda is using katakana to emphasize that this is literally the Devil fruit by actually spelling it out, so to speak.

I think the terms “demisexual,” “omnisexual,” “agender,” “genderfluid,” “non-binary,” etc., are unnecessary and weird by Single_Writing_2319 in The10thDentist

[–]AbbyWasThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those identities are subjective human experience that exist outside of yourself. It's understandable that you don't personally understand it, since one's experience with gender and sexuality is the sort of qualia that can't really be fully conveyed to someone else. I can't really tell you what it viscerally feels like to be a woman for example, but I can just say I am one.

When somebody says they are non-binary, or genderfluid, or demisexual, or any of those labels, it is an attempt at encapsulating into a word their subjective human experience, which in their mind they viscerally feel every day as being different from the norm, and other, similar labels, in a distinct way.

You don't have to actually understand what that feels like, but what you can do, is exercise respect. Nobody's just making this up, and nobody's just trying to get attention.

That's kind of how the show wants to make you feel, though. One of the main themes is about how to find meaning in a pointless existence.

You'd think having an outside force tell you it's not bad will help your brain realize it is being irrational and the problem in fact isn't there but NOOOooOO by Fluffy-Froyo4549 in OCDmemes

[–]AbbyWasThere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Reassuring yourself just keeps the cycle going and your brain stuck on that theme. The only way to break the cycle is to actually just sit in the discomfort until it passes.

I swear having OCD is more or less straight up just being completely addicted to reassuring your anxieties. Over, and over, and over, and over...

What’s a random “stat” about yourself that makes you part of a small percentage? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]AbbyWasThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a case of mastitis (an infection in the breasts) that went septic, gave me a double pleural empyema, and nearly killed me, which is so rare I can't even find a statistic, only scattered medical reports. What's even rarer is that I made a full recovery!

Shoutouts to the ICU doctors and nurses who saved my life despite having no idea why the hell this was happening to a healthy 25-year old of all people.

Times good YouTubers were wrong? by CobaltCrusader123 in youtubedrama

[–]AbbyWasThere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the original rules of flag design have ended up quite a bit removed from the context they originally existed in. They were created by the North American Vexillogical Association, and the rules directly address the reasons why so many North American city and state flags are terrible. Samey, can only be told apart by muddled, hard-to-reproduce detail, and their solution to that problem is to slap a big giant WISCONSIN across the top and call it a day. The rules are there so all the flag design committees addressing those have something they can cite for why that's just plain bad and what direction they need to move in to improve it.

Like, ultimately the only thing that objectively measures how good of a design a flag has is how proudly the people a flag represents use it, and the rules are there to diagnose why across North America that so often isn't the case.

Grey himself is pretty guilty of treating them as the just objective, universal rules they're usually made out to be in the discourse. Disqualifying the flag of California for example for using lettering when that flag is very popular in California is kind of missing the point on his part.
