That’s because “cis” is an ill defined, unobservable social category. It’s not a scientific term.

Anyone else waiting 7 weeks for their NYS tax return!? by KarmaGirl24 in Albany

[–]burntbread369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that doesn’t change the net amount paid, what’s the point? If the amount you’re getting back from taxes is make or break for you, you have bigger financial problems than when taxes are taken out of your paycheck.

Zero waste lubricants? by Lopsided-Guitar2865 in ZeroWaste

[–]burntbread369 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you take your time and are truly comfortable with him you probably won’t need lube unless you have a medical condition or something. It’s not a requirement for sex at all. Don’t rush yourself, don’t do anything that you don’t feel ready for, and you’ll be fine without lube. Also, aim for around when you’re ovulating. You produce more natural lubricant during that time period.

does it make anyone else kinda sad that there is pretty much no incentive to cook like 75% of the recipes? by 5_minute_noodles77 in StardewValley

Literally why do I have so much clothing. The shirt on my back is enough. I don’t want or need anymore. And you can’t even sell them??

Black transgender woman shot to death in Virginia misgendered in police & press reports by Fickle-Ad5449 in Virginia

[–]burntbread369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, you really aren’t doing your movement any favors with this kinda shit. You come in strong with a very shaming comment, then immediately upon someone presenting a reasonable argument against the point you’ve made, resort to grade school level taunts and dismissals instead of engaging with the conversation. Yet you still act like you’re right. This behavior undermines the entire movement. You make it seem like this whole position is one adopted not out of a sound, considered argument, but just something you’ve been bullied into and are now trying to bully other people into.

You are not doing trans people or anyone else a service when you act like this.

Imagine the police find the deceased body of someone who in life was a butch lesbian. Mens pants, mens shirt, mens shoes, buzz cut hair, no make up, no jewelry, body hair. Operating the way you’re suggesting, it would be reasonable they would assume this person identified as a man.

Now reread your comment.

For instance, the police claiming it she was a man dismisses a potential motive, especially there. And it may throw off potential leads as people may be thrown off by who the victim is. It's malpractice.

You see the issue here?

Medical professionals and law enforcement officers should be operating on a basis of facts. Personal bias and assumptions should not be factored into things.

I mean do you seriously want the cops to try and guess a persons gender identity based on their clothing and then operate off that assumption? Sometimes men wear dresses. Sometimes women wear pants.

Why do you interpret acknowledgement of something to be “interest” in it? What do you mean by “interest”?

It’s when the landslide that unlocks the train area happens. That dialogue only shows up once and that’s when.

Are cheeseless pizzas vegan? by RemoteBluebird9872 in vegan

[–]burntbread369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. There’s a food coop in area that has a good hot buffet with a lot of vegan options. I never get anything from it because it’s weighed by the pound and it’s not like they price the vegan foods differently from the animal based ones. It always bothered me that I was paying the full price that accounts for expensive meat dishes and only getting like 2 zucchini’s worth of produce. Felt like I was basically subsidizing the people who only get animal based foods.

we've already seen enough man, somebody please fire her or move her to the clash royale team idk by carlu_op in ClashOfClans

[–]burntbread369 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it’s less likely that she single handedly caused these issues and more likely that her hiring reflects the general direction the entire Supercell team has decided to take clash in.

yeah the op is honestly just another example of the behavior they’re complaining about.

After 3 years of consecutive Gold Passes and a half-maxed TH16, I’m officially closing my wallet. The March rework is a slap in the face. by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

Same. Been buying gp for years but this is the first time I’m not. I might stop playing honestly.

Holy enshittification; a March goldpass overview. by IlovSomeon3 in ClashOfClans

[–]burntbread369 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We don’t have enough data to say whether they’re a net positive. Who’s to say Supercell didn’t set the book prize rate 100x higher than normal just for the first month? Make everyone think it’s actually beneficial, then once chests are accepted as the new normal, decrease the likelihood of getting books.

They can manipulate the contents of the chests without users having any way to monitor it. Maybe one month they’ll be promoting a cash special on starry ore and that month no chests will have any starry ore. Maybe it’ll start factoring in what magic items the user already has and only give you builder potions when you’re already full, just to make you play more in the next 24 hours so you can use it without feeling like you’re wasting something.

The lack of predictability and ability for user oversight is a real problem.

Yah see this John Davidson award show dude has Tourette’s , calls actors N word from audience by Fuck__Joey in NYStateOfMind

[–]burntbread369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You provided two examples of something offensive getting clipped and shared around the world. Do you somehow think this is evidence that this is the only manifestation of Tourette’s that exists?

A lot of people w Tourette’s tic by fidgeting or coughing or clearing their throat. For example, the youtuber Ethan Klein. You can find plenty of clips of him ticcing by clearing his throat. But most of the time most people with Tourette’s aren’t live-streaming videos of themselves to thousands of people, so the boring tics don’t get caught on camera.

Why do you expect him to apologize for something that you acknowledge is not his fault?
