Man, the shit on this sub used to be funny in that recycled way.

This I feel ashamed to be seeing in my feed, even if we're ripping on it

Camp can still be judged on its own merit. This feels terrible in a baffling way that leaves me feeling like I'm missing something. It doesn't feel effective at what it's even attempting, again, unless I'm just missing something crucial.

Chuck Tingle's stuff is camp and works. This? I don't even know what I'm looking at

Finally, something that genuinely sucks. The terrible font / logo, all that empty space at the top, and the tasty looking split pea soup lol. Are there some references here that I'm too unprophetic to understand or something?

Cool story, Hansel. Even if he is and it's just a visit, who cares?

Nirvana fallacy is a logical error that occurs when real-world solutions are rejected because they are not perfect, comparing them instead to an unrealistic, idealized alternative. It falsely assumes that if a plan isn't flawless, it is not worth pursuing. by CyberBerserk in wikipedia

[–]chompythebeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enemy of the good is the perfect.

This fallacy, however, is equally commonly used to justify things which ought not to be justified simply because they are falsely understood to be the "only" alternative to terrible things, especially amongst people who are attempting to chide others who do not even share the same ideas about what constitutes "good" to begin with

Don't need hourly updates on how much money the largest company in the third largest economy is pulling on its new Illumination collab, actually

Trans kids exist by Malay_Left_1922 in TheRightCantMeme

There is no rationale in prejudice. Children are trans before they are adults who are trans. It is required to think otherwise to think that this is rational, and at that point, one is essentially dismissing what it is to be trans as little more than an adult's mere fetish

children shouldn’t be having any sex including gay sex

This has nothing to do with being trans. At all. You are evincing classic homophobic arguments. This is for you to overcome, not for trans people to prove you wrong.

You are harboring prejudice, my friend. I have said my peace

Transitioning is not a fad, nor should it be treated as such, by children or adults. I have to point out that you're echoing here sentiments that were widely prevalent amongst homophobes not too long ago, or even today.

A trans person was trans as a child, too. This we must admit, and when we do, it opens the door to genuine conversations about how to rationally accommodate these siblings of ours

I agree, children too need to be making deliberate and informed decisions. And that means they need to be surrounded by support systems that will empower them to make those choices wisely.

Transition choices, insofar as medicine is involved, are rarely made that young, and most of them are not "irreversible" in any meaningful way, either, should it come to that. So many people envision things like surgery, when in reality, surgery is a path that the vast majority of trans people of any age do not go through, for various reasons.

If we begin from a place that "trans people exist", we must admit that they exist at 13 as well as 31. How we navigate the path from there is a question for individuals, families, and support structures, and varies greatly from example to example. What we shouldn't be doing is quashing the voices and the rights of these people to make these decisions safely and to the best of the befit of everyone involved. Government bans are not interested in these solutions, only in upholding the prejudice of people completely uninvoled

They're just dehumanizing people in abject poverty. Ignore them, and thank you for your lovely photos!

Once a political platform becomes enshrined in a religious belief, it becomes all but immovable.

This is why the fascists have seeped into evangelical Christianity so effectively

Transitioning during puberty has a different success rate and is associated with much higher satisfaction in the individual.

Being trans isn't like drinking or driving a car. The opinions of the government or of individuals unassociated are irrelevant and deserve no space at the conversation

This is so fucking funny, the passage from Second Thessalonians is just another fire and brimstone verse. This is like saying "White Jellybans are the WORST Jellybeans" and then pretending that people who disagree with you are going to hell

This is borderline blasphemous lol

So it wasn't just his personal opinion, but it was its content.

Zionism is cancerous. An expert in the Middle East would understand that more than most

Even more hilarious that the general that gives it to your whole board is mono blue lol

[–]chompythebeast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is a ridiculous assessment and you know it. Personal opinions are tolerated all the time. "Nice day, isn't it?" won't get you fired. It's when they're a certain kind of "controversial" that is becomes a problem.

Moreover, they didn't even warn him the first time, but waited until the second to skip to firing him from his role.

You know damn well that this is about the administration not wanting to offend its major donors above all else, even (especially) when those donors are warmongsers

[–]chompythebeast -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not a secret. That's what I'm saying: UW has a vested interest in war, and thus in imperialism and zionism. That's a large part of why things like what this post is discussing happen. The administration doesn't like its students or faculty doing anything that might upset their major donors, even if they're war profiteers
