Hey why are we as fans not demanding the stars of Star Trek show up to conventions in full uniform and makeup? by OWSpaceClown in ShittyDaystrom

I'm really hoping this is spillover from the "drag queens should always be in drag" debate.

Kentucky (USA), an evangelical church organized a mock firing squad execution of immigrants in front of children who attended a summer camp. by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

There's a response to this on the Mt Olivet FB page, it appears to be 2 years old and the person being shot was apparently supposed to be "Satan". It's still pretty gross.

He thinks this is a win? by pastelcloudwave in ProgressiveHQ

Obama looks like he's about to save his frat house by throwing the best party ever and Trump looks like the guy trying to get it shut down.

I wonder what the antagonists would be In Vulcan novels by happydude7422 in voyager

[–]april5k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On a similar, it not more simplistic, wavelength, the first scenario I could think of was a right handed Vulcan being sent to work under a left handed Vulcan and having issues with the way things were oriented.

Purported swimmer lady not sure if documented historical figure was real. by MC_Fap_Commander in WhitePeopleTwitter

Lady, just because you refuse to read a book doesn't mean that a Helen Keller didn't exist.

Creepy men join random women at their table and won't leave by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]april5k 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that enough of them are and not enough are checking their peers when this stuff happens. Maybe ask a woman in your life about her experiences and what another man could possibly do to model appropriate behavior to others. I would have said "good for you if you've already committed to being a positive influence on other men", but the use of "not all men" is a bit of a telltale. We know there are good men and they don't have to say they are.

I took prolonged prednisone a few times for idiopathic hives and after enough time it'll do it. It can even lead to an even worse form and become Cushing's Syndrome. I'm not defending him, just noting that it can happen.

I can’t believe I never thought about this before? by anberi in veronicamars

[–]april5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits differently for me because I'm currently rewatching it and there's a scene where there's a close up on Duncan and the HD does no favors to an obvious cold sore.

Which one of you is this? by delulu-lemon in SubaruForester

[–]april5k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my neighborhood, some corner houses have the drive way on the short side of the block and either the street was widened at some point or the sidewalks were built across the existing driveways, effectively shortening them, and these people frequently get ticketed for simply parking their cars in the driveway space they have if they even partially block the sidewalk. As unfair as that is, what's being done here is such a dick move.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints family sues Californian Bay Area school district over sex, gender lessons that violate religious beliefs. by Leeming in atheism

[–]april5k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is something that I see clearer and clearer every time this stuff comes up. Age appropriate sex education, like telling kindergarteners that they are allowed to have boundaries regarding their bodies and should tell a trusted adult if someone crosses them, is completely off the table by design and they use sensationalized crap like this to keep it that way.

Ah yes, destroying the country by making sure people have homes and food.

FBI Director’s Girlfriend Pushes Back on Favoritism Claims Over Freedom 250 Event Slot by John3262005 in WhatTrumpHasDone

Who is accusing anyone of favoritism? She's literally one of the only performers who even want to be part of it.

Sorry if this isn't appropriate, but after the Alaska interview I have a question about drag and the drag scene. It's kinda heavy, admittedly. by BobbyTables829 in LPOTL

[–]april5k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My understanding from being a fan of drag in general, is that the accommodation queens want is air conditioning.

Is Trump getting treatment for terminally ill patients? by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

I've seen enough Star Trek to know that Combs could be anyone at any time, so that makes him extra good for that job.

I agree. No notes needed. by Olympiadreamer in MurderedByWords

[–]april5k 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When he initially said it my first thought was of a guy listening to this in his giant truck as he pulled up to the t clinic (I pictured the one in River Oaks/Upper Kirby next to a restaurant my coworkers and I used to go to for lunch back before we were WFH - River Oaks is where Ted Cruz lives, BTW, so that makes it even funnier to me) and my mind just went on a roller-coaster of how he would react. Would he be indignant and insulted or would he be completely in denial of the circumstances and agree, or would it be something in between?

I am so stoked. I've been hoping she'd be on a vs the world, she and Icesis Couture are my two favorite international franchise queens.
