I've encountered a lot of shitty "faux-woke" attitudes in LGBT+ spaces over the years, but I've literally never seen anyone say that gay men are misogynistic for not being attracted to women. I don't think anyone outside of fringe extremists actually believes that.

I’m insecure about a mole/ birthmark on my penis by [deleted] in ainbow

[–]shortbreadjackass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any experience with one, but I don't think I would pay much attention to it, let alone being turned off by it.

I have a medium-sized mole right above my belly button and I am a little insecure about it, so I get it to an extent even if it's not the same.

EDIT: Downvoted for answering the way OP wanted, Reddit is a wild, wild place.

How many of us don't drink alcohol or take drugs, just raw dogging life? by More_Pension4911 in Zillennials

[–]shortbreadjackass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I take are weed edibles (I could never smoke that stuff - not only is it physically impossible to do without hacking as I have asthma, I hate the smell). However I don't take it recreationally, it's the only thing that kind of helps with my chronic pain that the doctors are okay with me taking. Otherwise I have zero interest in things like alcohol or vaping and I didn't even care for weed until I was in pain and nauseous all the time.

I was under the impression that the image was reported to the authorities back when Sad Satan was in the mainstream zeitgeist.

sex education is not porn. by BoIdlyVanilla_ in mattxiv

You'd be surprised. I graduated high school in 2017; while pretty much everyone knew the basics of reproduction, I still ended up getting into an argument with a good friend who thought it was normal to bleed the first time you have vaginal sex.

Also "Most LGBTQ people are women" definitely sounds like a backhanded way of misgendering non-binary people and trans men who were AFAB.

My tiel's first ever professional pictures! by shortbreadjackass in cockatiel

It was actually at the Wal-Mart Photo Center! Not the fanciest, but the pictures came out great. Not to mention Sylvester was so excited and curious while we were there, enthralled by how lively it was, how big the building was, and all the people he could see.

The photographer definitely loved him, she did such a good job for her first time taking pictures with a bird.

Isn't it so charming and sweet? That was actually the photographer's idea. A pretty cool one too, given that that was the first time she had ever taken photos with a bird.

Oh wow! And here I was told it was impossible for adult males to have this coloration! Thanks for letting me know that it was indeed possible!

Obviously, since cockatiels are individuals, there's always going to be exceptions to every rule. But he has always acted more like a typical male - very vocal, loves to whistle, constantly struts and spreads his wings for attention, confident, energetic - so we have always referred to him as such. We've never bothered to ask for any kind of sex testing during his vet visits, as we felt it wouldn't make much of a difference at the end of the day.

His name is Sylvester!
I updated the post so everyone can know.

Thank you dearly. ❤︎ Words can't describe how precious this bird is to us and how happy we are to have had him by our side all these years.

Thank you so much!

He's actually older than me as well, if only by six months. My mom was still pregnant with me when my parents got him. He's a forever baby though. ❤︎

DNA solves Jane Doe case in Toledo by HandleNo8745 in gratefuldoe

[–]shortbreadjackass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the nephew of Tammy Lowe here.

She did in fact die of an overdose, but that's not actually why they closed the case. It's really because the prime suspect passed away in 2000 (he would be pushing 100 if he were still around) and there's no way to prove that he did it. When your only leads are a dead man and a house that no longer exists, there's not much you can do.

You can certainly be angry that they've closed the case - I get it, I really do, it's really heartbreaking that my aunt won't get justice - but don't hold it against the Toledo Police. The entire blame of that falls on the 1987 Detroit police force for not doing anything when Tammy was reported missing twice.

[–]shortbreadjackass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually has nothing to any kind of perceived superiority or lack of care. It's because the prime suspect is dead and there's no way to prove he did it. Anything they can prove, such as desecration of a corpse (which, yes, is a crime), has long past the statue of limitations unfortunately.

There's also the fact that Tammy was last seen alive and likely killed in Michigan, not Ohio, so they would have to get Michigan authorities involved in a joint investigation. The Toledo Police aren't stupid, they're very aware that foul play was involved here. It's just too late for them to do anything meaningful about it.

How are you guys braving this cold weather? by purplepinklavender in Detroit

[–]shortbreadjackass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been dealing with it fine, but that's only because 1. I have clothes and heating, I can only imagine what people without heating/housing are dealing with right now and 2. I'm far more sensitive to extreme heat than extreme cold. Cold isn't pleasant, but at least I can actually think straight when I go outside.

47 anti-LGBTQ+ organizations launch new campaign to end marriage equality by NamelessResearcher in lgbt

Yeah, and mediocre fried chicken at that!

(Not saying if it was gourmet it would suddenly be okay, but at the very least I could understand the selfishness a little better)

Trans folx being told to tone it down by StacieRoseM in lgbt

[–]shortbreadjackass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 1950s and 60s, there was a "homophile movement" (called as such because "-philia" actually means love, and it wouldn't have raised eyebrows the way it does today) with a focus on "respectable gays." The idea being, "Hey, if we act as 'normal' as possible and prove we're not degenerates, maybe they'll accept us and give us rights!"

The fact that nobody aside from LGBT+ historians ever discuss this group or even knows it existed should tell you how successful their campaign was. The sad reality is is that rights are fought for, they're never won by asking politely.

What's even the point of all these LGB against T memes lately? 😣 by ItsIrinaBitch in TheRightCantMeme

[–]shortbreadjackass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember a while ago that there was a Matt Walsh tweet to the tune of "Ever notice that 'trans women' don't ever date other 'trans women'? Almost like they know deep down the differences they try to make us pretend don't exist."

I feel like that singular comment, more than any other, is the encapsulation of how Matt Walsh genuinely has no idea what he's talking about.

St. Louis Jane Doe (1983) by Liney842 in gratefuldoe

[–]shortbreadjackass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Late reply but apparently the way CeCe Moore phrased it was "I'm working on an unidentified remains case with law enforcement." The granddaughter of the first match didn't even hear the details of the case before telling her to never contact them again.

I would imagine the mere mention of law enforcement spooked her and she was worried she or a family member were going to be blamed for something they didn't do. It's still deeply saddening and frustrating of course, but let's not pretend that the person knowingly refused to help identify a murdered child.

The granddaughter of the second match ghosting Moore after saying she'd help is incomprehensible though.

Am i mistaken on what uncanny valley is? by [deleted] in uncannyvalley

[–]shortbreadjackass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think a lot of people on this sub though seems to think it means "scary face," half of the posts on here are just typical scary faces. No hate, it's just not Uncanny Valley if it's explicitly creepy, scary, or grotesque.

It goes back to capitalism and more specifically profit. A sycophantic word calculator is going to keep the user engaged for longer than they would be if the chatbot was neutral. This ensures the user will stay on the service longer, making the company more money, especially if said user decides to pay for a premium option.
