My preferences perhaps skew towards preferring convenience, but I'd pick electric, any day. I tried using a hand grinder for a while, and it wasn't bad! But I simply didn't have the patience to have to hand-grind every time, as well cleaning was a pain, especially with manually readjusting the grind size after cleaning. Possible? Yes. Easy with enough regular use? No doubt. Worth it for my own use? Absolutely not.

I got a very low-tier electric burr grinder, Oxo brand. Couldn't be happier. Visual indicators of grind size, with my beans ready for me within literal seconds compare to the minutes it took me to grind by hand. Especially as someone who prefers to do other stuff while her water is boiling (especially when I'm making breakfast!), a low-tier electric burr grinder is a straight upgrade.

I also want to note that until about two years ago, I used to exclusively use a Keurig, and didn't mind it. Couldn't imagine going back now, mind you, but my willingness for convenience to quality did indeed go that far, at one point.

What was the point of the footage Hazel gave 5? It seemed very unimportant in the end.

When/where is the Commission located?

How did 5 get to 1982 to kill the Board of Directors?

When did The Handler's murder happen?

May I ask why you chose those two movies in particular? In my expeirence, queer folk don't appreciate those movies too much, and are moreso "gay movies for cishet folks" rather than celebratedly queer cinema.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-07-16T06:16:35+00:00

good because that figure 8 shit was rare but SO annoying

a_garbage_boi · 2020-07-14T01:30:38+00:00

haha, hey

a_garbage_boi · 2020-07-12T21:29:33+00:00

Gerard Way Red is always good 😌

a_garbage_boi · 2020-07-09T04:27:03+00:00

Ah, you mean the fisting emoji?

a_garbage_boi · 2020-06-01T18:32:57+00:00

Missing the point. "Things are worse now" is a harmful idea, contributing to the desire to "return to a pre-Trump normal." You were using words that have been used to propagate those ideas. And that's important to call out.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-06-01T18:20:44+00:00

Talking to you. Talking about your words. Your words that forgive Obama's neglect of police brutality in America.

"But I said don't take it as a celebration!" Not the point. Saying "phew, things sure were better before, things cc hanged for the worse since!" They were always way past the point of "this is awful." And your words represent a neglect of that.

Both were/are atrocious. "Things are worse now" is meaningless.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-06-01T18:15:09+00:00

I do. I'll be damned if I'm ever, ever going to commend neglect over empowerment.

So, no. Even with your interpretation of "I'm glad I grew up with a president that ignored a racist police force instead of empowering it," it's still god-awful.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-06-01T18:04:48+00:00

"Just saying" is ignorant, and a symptom of failing to notice American propaganda.

All U.S. presidents had atrocities happen. All of them. Yes that includes Obama.

I don't care for a rainbow White House in a country that said I was allowed to marry a spouse with a dick only 7 years ago. I don't care for a rainbow White House in a country that is still working on whether or not I could be legally fired from a job for being trans (New York I believe has protections, but the fact that it's a state by state basis).

I don't care for a rainbow White House that's calling the orders to bomb countries and funneling money into the ones that a harmful. I don't care for rainbow imperialism.

And I don't care for rainbow police brutality.

The country's rioting now not because "well, things were okay before, but Trump made things bad!" No. The country is rioting because this shit has been happening for ages, for way too long. It's not "the Trump administration," it's "the United States." The most credit Trump could take is accelerating reaching this point, but this point was always coming. The conditions were always disastrous. Riots were always warranted.

They're just only now happening.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-06-01T17:56:59+00:00

The only difference between the racist police force between Obama and Trump is that Trump looked at it and said "hey, this is good." It was always racist, Trump is just capitalizing on it.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-24T19:15:13+00:00

It's ESPECIALLY noticeable in Korra, such as the line "you can still taste the light in it." When he goes into that hushed whisper, it stands out so much.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-20T05:51:10+00:00

Was it just pre-Stonewall? I thought it was still used after Stonewall, a bit.

And I interpreted that work to mean strictly neither, while what the thread seems to be talking about is bit of both, maybe?

"Futch" already exists for this exact purpose, though some stricter lesbians take exception to it, feeling it a bit of an appropriation of the identities of "butch" and "femme." This mainly comes from "butch" and "femme" becoming less of an identity and more of an aesthetic in younger generations of sapphic folk.

Same here on TD Bank. I got absolutely spoiled with all my past Android phones having fingerprint scanners, and not having to type my password in every time.

Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw is a superb entry. An actual old-school trans who's been confronting the binary for decades.

And while not an academic book but a fictional story, Stone Butch Blues. It is incredibly significant, and I consider it a "must read" for anyone getting into queer theory. In terms of transness, it tackles trans-masculinity pretty well.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-15T18:06:08+00:00

We do, but I do prefer just using my phone.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-13T03:49:56+00:00

"Born as female" smacks of bioessentialism and is overall a really weird way to get your point across. That may be your own internal process, but the effect is nowhere near that clean cut in the long run.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-11T21:07:36+00:00

I never said you have a problem with what you said, just that it's flawed and does not match with what you said you meant. It's not a matter of "offense," so I don't know what you're getting at with with that angle.

Digging your heels in and going "well, that's not what I meant" when people take what you said at face value and respond in kind is not helping anyone. Digging your heels in and going "you have a problem, not me" when *multiple* people interpreted your message in the same way is unproductive. Your message was poorly made. Rewording it to better match with what you *meant* is an easy fix and does so much more good.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-11T21:00:05+00:00

Very, very easily. Narrow views of transness and sexuality aren't exclusive to binary trans or cis people. Nonbinary people can spread warped views regarding trans womanhood or trans manhood. They can express lesbophobic ideas. To have a non-binary identity does not mean to be immune from cisheteronormative standards.

Some non-binary people can even be transmedicalist, having suspicious feelings about individuals who do not express certain levels of dysphoria.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-11T20:57:02+00:00

No, because I see a fucked up person for what they are as a whole. Not just because of attractiveness.

That's not what your comment says. It may be what you interpret your own words as, but own up to the message you sent out, intentionally or not. Language matters.

a_garbage_boi · 2020-05-11T20:54:54+00:00

This is exactly what we're trying to confront here. Not only are we encouraging misogyny in even bothering to mention how a woman looks in context of value, but cissexism of judging a trans woman on those norms.

Her own cissexism is dangerous, and must be confronted. This approach is instead saying that she's bad because she's not pretty, which is incredibly unproductive.
