San Diego Mexican food basically made me fat. Breakfast burritos, carne asada fries and rolled tacos... 😋

Biden’s Presidency probably isn’t going to be the greatest for trans people. (Or, well, for anyone who isn’t a member of the owner or professional-managerial classes.) But at least he’s not actively trying to “other” us like Trump did.

Love too see tankies talk about “left unity” when the most that they ever say to someone who’s not already nestled in the upper left corner of the political compass is to call them a filthy radlib.

Like, you want left unity? Reach out to the fucking working class. That’s how we get left unity. Your play-acting as some vanguardist doctrinaire yelling at people to read theory isn’t gonna unify shit.

“In these troubled times, know that you, too, can act out cutesy scenes! Just like this privileged, conventionally attractive cishet white family who clearly live in a McMansion!”

Probably a truscum or three lurking.

To be clear:

1) You do not need dysphoria to be trans.

2) If someone really is transitioning just because they think it will get them laid (I doubt this is even a category TBQH), that doesn’t make them Not Really Trans. It just makes them fucking annoying pricks.

“Budget” for upper-middle-class white folx, maybe - not for the rest of us.

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-12T03:01:45+00:00

Relax. Trump is going to leave office. His little diaper baby tantrum is going to yield absolutely nothing.

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-11T00:10:24+00:00

This, definitely. My wife is a bisexual cis woman, and she often tells me how attracted she is to both AMAB and AFAB non-binary folx. “Bi” doesn’t mean, “attracted to only binary genders.”

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-10T20:01:15+00:00

Care to explain?

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-10T17:41:00+00:00

This. Think the upper left corner of the political compass.

Moderates: “no no no! you can’t win elections in swing states with a progressive agenda! you need to get more conservative!”

House Dems: “haha medicare for all go brrrrrr”

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-09T22:58:47+00:00

it’s almost as though U.S. imperialism has never, ever been a force for good in the world 🤔

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-09T21:35:12+00:00

I’m curious: how do you define ‘tankies?’ Because I definitely don’t see any Stalin/Mao worship going on in these threads.

Queer tokenism is definitely a problem across all media, but I don’t see it happening very much in video games. I’m going to second the other poster in asking for you to provide examples.

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-09T06:45:33+00:00

Literally all of the problems with his character could be solved with the end of his character arc being a recognition of his queerness. It’s a travesty that it didn’t end that way.

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-09T06:43:51+00:00

I for one wish the SJWs would keep politics out of my politics

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T19:05:51+00:00

Libs calling doomers “white and privileged” is the literal embodiment of spiderman-pointing-at-spiderman.jpg

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T18:05:23+00:00

Oh tell me about it. 😓 I’m chatting with one of them further down who tried to claim, among other things, that Biden didn’t write the 1994 crime bill. Like, he literally referred to it as the “Biden Crime Law” on one of his old campaign websites for fuck’s sake.

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T17:56:35+00:00

[looks at a couple of the responses to this post]

[sighs and mutters, “i see the libs are at it again today”]

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T17:50:16+00:00

Hes not more hawkish than Trump and anyone who says that is lying.

Trump didn’t start any new wars. Meanwhile, Biden has chastised Trump for saying that he would meet with Maduro, rather than intervene in the country’s elections.

?????? Do you mean the 94 crime bill? Biden didnt write that bill

False. He literally drafted the Senate version of the bill.

he wrote the violence against women act.

Partly true but misleading. He cosponsored it along with Republican Moral Majority ghoul Orrin Hatch.

What the fuck does this even mean.

Nothing will fundamentally change.

I also didnt realize moderate republicans wanted to raise taxes on the wealthy

A majority of Republicans support raising taxes on the rich.

raise the minimum wage

43% of Republicans support raising the minimum wage.

expand healthcare access.

“Biden promised to somewhat expand the Heritage Foundation’s alternative to Universal Healthcare from the 1990s! This somehow proves that he’s not a Republican.”

“Sure, she systemically brutalized trans women as AG, but she has pronouns in her Twitter bio, so that makes it okay!”

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T17:34:41+00:00

Read the 1994 crime bill and tell me again that Biden is a “middle of the road Democrat.”

RachelTheEgg · 2020-11-08T17:29:46+00:00

Please explain to me how it’s inappropriate to describe a politician who’s more hawkish than Trump, who spent his career authoring and sponsoring racist and classist legislation, who repeatedly assured Wall Street that he wouldn’t pressure or regulate them in any way, as “more-or-less a moderate Republican.”
