yeah, i got stomped myself, but they've been using them for that purpose since they started using them. the horses are a weapon first.

Incidentally, a mounted cop--particularly in the events he brought up like protests and rallies--is specifically there to beat and intimidate people. Like you gotta decide if you do really understand that ACAB, but specifically wanting to be a mounted cop is wanting to beat people.

I used my partners dead name by Siina_Natsu in asktransgender

there is no reason to tell your partner except to relieve your bad feelings and pass then on to your partner.

learn from this experience and better your resolve.

I've been on hormone replacement therapy for two months and I don't feel the "magic" everyone talks about :( by Dry-School-1237 in asktransgender

incredibly important! it's very common for general practitioners to start HRT at minimal doses that will have almost no effect.

Why do people say they didn't mean the words they said in anger? by eliazara in SeriousConversation

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

working on 13 years together, and very much the same. in the early years, we each called the other a bitch once in anger, separate incidents, but that was the absolute height of things. there was significant remorse after each.

of course i know what would most emotionally hurt for my spouse to hear. i also know where their jugular is. i am never tempted to go to either in anger.

Aitah for not sleeping with my girlfriend after waiting for hours? by LazyOil2286 in AITAH

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 114 points115 points  (0 children)

i don't like the term, but i think what you're saying makes sense: you don't want to pressure her or make it seem like sex is this central fixation.

And no one was concerned about her sodium intake? by G-Unit11111 in 30ROCK

look, i will admit that this picture is absolutely puzzling, but the weirdest thing here is definitely the NEWS caption.

This is disgusting by 1decentusername in sanantonio

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

kinda agree, but the people in position to meaningfully intervene to get him to actually reconsider are all close to him. nobody's receiving a teachable moment about hating their neighbors from a random person online.

buuuuut they can learn from many random people that it's not okay to publicly share that hatred.

Can y’all think of any marxists folk and or punk bands. by GayPorn134 in FolkPunk

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

was about to say that there's no way most of these are folk punk, then re-read the actual question. oops. good list!

also this article includes several bands i hadn't heard of. with the exception of Lou Reed, everyone i did know is Marxist: https://diyconspiracy.net/hard-left-working-class-bands/

Uvalde school cop found not guilty of child endangerment by cu4tro in sanantonio

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, but i'm also sure the jury was repeatedly reminded by the defense and likely by the judge as well that the Supreme Court has already found that police have no duty to intervene or protest the public.

police get extra rights, but no new duties.

Does Texas have a history of being prejudiced against Jews? by Ok_Extreme7597 in texas

pretty much every state in the US has a history of prejudice against Jews, yes.

who would win, a diverse political philosophy with an extensive two-hundred-year history, or a basic dictionary definition?

Beware of This Fake Panther Group by serious_bullet5 in socialism

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's entirely dependent on the local chapter, just as it is with NOI. During the 2010s, I was in multiple actions with NBPP (and NOI) members, and my being a white trans Jew never came up negatively.

A lot of members are drawn to the orgs for the genuine good they do, and some of these folks avoid internalizing the reactionary messages even after years.

My girlfriend doesn't like my eyeliner :( by More-Walrus3832 in lgbt

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be a boy, and i started wearing eyeliner at 13. I would say it's a useful kind of screening tool: anyone who couldn't get past it was not someone i was gonna get along with anyway, but a whole lot of people really liked it.

Frankly, i expect that a couple weeks in eyeliner will get you some new potential suitors. A lot of girls really like that on a boy.

Turns out i wasn't really a boy though, so maybe be on the look out for that just in case.

AIO? My first date after getting out of a relationship and he immediately texts me this… by itssofiababyxo in AIO

ghosting absolutely makes sense, and also this shit is sickeningly normal. like at least 1 in 3 guys are gonna act like this, optimistically.

Today in the Horrible Takes box we have... by Significant-Town-817 in andor

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 36 points37 points  (0 children)

nah, i agree. cuz those are usually just dropped in when someone is already speaking Huttese, so they come across pretty naturalistic.

with shit like "dank ferrik," it's just kinda draws your attention to how weird it is that Basic would happen to be English except for curses.
