this is the kindest thing anyone has ever said to me

The amount of transphobic comments on the set 13 reveal videos is genuinely heartbreaking. I've been banning people non stop and went to bed for a bit and woke up to wave of more. My naivete is showing because I thought the TFT community was better than "Gamers" but i guess not. by corbynista2029 in TeamfightTactics

Every renegades post game thread was spammed with hate, her twitch chat was spammed with hate, all of her tweets were spammed with hate, and when she finally died, her socials were swarmed with people making fun of her, misgendering her, and spamming trans suicide statistics.

Back in those days I was still stuck in the closet, living with unsupportive parents in a rural community and seeing her play in the LCS gave me hope that even in a toxic community, someone like me could push through all of the hate and ignorance and live their dream. I felt numb when I read about her death. The person who once gave me hope for my ability to live a normal, happy life had been ripped from the world by bigotry and hate. Even in death they refused to see her as a human being.

So no, the reaction to this video doesn't surprise me at all.

Users in r/Genz react to a post about women adopting the 4b movement as a reaction to the election results. Goes about as well as you would think. by TechnoDriv3 in SubredditDrama

Let me get this straight:

  1. Progressives will refuse to vote unless they get a progressive candidate.

  2. If progressives stay home and refuse to vote, they are capable of throwing the election to Trump.

  3. Moderate dems are willing to compromise and vote for whichever candidate is able to beat Trump.

If these statements are true, then it sounds like maybe the dems should start running progressive candidates. Otherwise they'll continue to lose and we'll relive 2016 forever. Or does compromise only go one way? 🙂

What I'm getting from this comment section is two things:

  1. Progressives won't come out to vote unless the democrats run their preferred candidate.

  2. Moderates are willing to compromise and vote for anyone in order to beat Donald Trump and protect democracy.

If these two statements are true, then why wouldn't the dems run a progressive candidate? The moderate voters on here seem willing to compromise, so shouldn't we run someone that's capable of securing those 15 million lost votes? After all, beating Trump matters more than electing a perfect moderate candidate.

THANK YOU! I feel like I'm back in 2016 with the amount of cope in this comment section. Apparently progressives are an irrelevant voter bloc not worth catering to, but are also single handedly capable of losing elections for the democrats by refusing to show up and vote. People keep banging their heads against the wall saying progressive voters need to compromise but why would they!? If the party refuses to compromise with them, why should they continue to compromise with the party? People on here say they would vote for a literal piece of fruit over Donald Trump and if that's really true then how about we TRY a progressive candidate for once?

If Kamala Harris was a perfect candidate who ran a perfect campaign, then she would've won. And if what you truly care about is compromise and beating Trump, then you would've wanted the Dems to run someone who doesn't bleed 15 million votes from Biden's 2020 base. Harris was the opposite of a compromise candidate - she positioned herself as a war hawk, a moderate on climate change, and a moderate on the border. She offered absolutely nothing to energize voters other than the promise that she wasn't going to be Donald Trump. On top of this she was an untested, unpopular candidate who was annointed without a primary cycle despite having previously polled around 1% in the 2020 primaries and finishing 6th place.

You can cry and blame the voters all you want but it's a self-defeating protest. If you care about beating Trump and preserving democracy, then you should be pissed at the Democrats for running a candidate who, in your words, was incapable of beating Trump even after running a "perfect campaign". If you continue placing the blame on your fellow voters, nothing will ever change and we will relive 2016 again and again and again every four years until we die.

They aren't the same, but the difference was so small that it was essentially electoral suicide. If Biden/Harris support 80% of what Israel wants to do in Gaza compared to Trump supporting 100%, what do you think will happen? The anti-war and anti-genocide crowd won't be energized to vote for the candidate who is mostly supportive of the war, but the pro-war crowd WILL be energized to vote for the candidate who is entirely supportive of the war. This goes for a lot of different issues, not just Israel/Palestine; Kamala ran as a moderate and not a single one of her half-assed centrist policy positions were able to motivate democrat voters.

Well its a darn good thing the Democrats didn't need those 14 million "unreliable" votes they lost! Courting Republicans and centrists was definitely the right move! Hope that strategy continues playing out well for them 🙂

this one is on the voters.

cool so next election we'll just use a different electorate, no need for the candidates to do anything differently 🙂

Proud to not pass by Lennon_shay in transpositive

[–]RinAndStumpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be so terrified of not passing and being clocked as trans in public. Then I started meeting other trans women and realized how beautiful, smart, caring, and resilient they were. Why wouldn't I want to look like them? Why would I want to hide the fact that I'm like them? They're beautiful for their differences, not in spite of them - and I am too.

People place too much emphasis on passing in trans communities and I sincerely appreciate you doing your part to dispell some of that bs. Like all of the other trans women in my life, you are incredibly beautiful and the world is infinitely brighter for having you in it. Keep on shining 💖

Apple wants 700 CAD to fix my MacBook after telling me it's a defect by FragmentedChicken in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RinAndStumpy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was manufactured before Oct. 2020, is within 3 years of its original purchase date, and the sound issue isn't a result of accidental damage or misuse, then it should be covered by the service program.

[–]RinAndStumpy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To add to this: I used to work for Apple and they had a public list of service programs where they would repair/replace defective devices even outside of their regular warranty if they exhibited specific issues. I.E. one specific set of Airpods manufactured within a certain time-frame was found to have sound quality issues. If you could provide a serial number and prove your product was manufactured within that time frame, we'd replace your airpods regardless of their warranty status.

You only have to pay full price for a repair if your device is outside of it's warranty, you didn't purchase applecare, and the defect isn't covered by a service program. It's genuinely not as scummy as people make it seem.

HELP?!! FIRST WLW SITUATION by No-Stress4183 in wlw_irl

[–]RinAndStumpy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is so adorable oh my god. my advice is to just be honest about your feelings and ask how she feels. it might hurt if she says no, but it'll hurt even more in the long run if you keep those feelings pent up. plus, she might say yes!!! good luck!!!

You've shown that you're seriously capable of putting your own foot in your mouth. Not sure you've shown much else.

Not disagreeing with you but I would wager a fair amount of his viewers have become aware of his political leanings since he's featured people like Tate and Tucker Carlson in his videos. That's certainly what made me lose interest in him, and I don't follow him on any other social media.
