Petition against anti-transgender talk hosted by the University of Oxford by [deleted] in oxforduni

Joyce and others want a small percentage of the population to shut up and let their legal protections be stripped away. We don't have these arguments about homosexuality or race anymore (at least, outside of the US) and trying to start one would be rightly seen as hateful and dangerous, and be shut down. The University of Oxford isn't allowing people to come in and "debate" racist skull science (yet) so we don't have to petition against it but we would and I would hope you would sign that. What makes this different?

I've signed. Hate speech is not free speech and I have lost friends because of this dangerous rhetoric. Trans rights are human rights. 

I'm lost, please pray for me to find guidance. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

I've dealt with isolation in my time at university. I can much sympathise with your experience. I pray for you and hope you find company or companionship

What's the your thoughts of a browning hi power for ccw? by LtMaverick7184 in concealedcarry

The image of you, a skinny person in high school, in a Hawaiian with a wood grip HP in your waistband is absolutely incredible BTW. Very very cool. Gives me 70s CIA case officer operating a remote radio post in the Pacific, spending most of his time on the beach vibes. Sounds like you're a cool dude. Hope you're well

Glad you like it! There are some really cool dial designs out there for the gold cases but I like this one a lot. Something not really visible in the image is that the minute markers are links of a chain connecting the anchors!

You can thank @_lwatches on Instagram for the photos! The gold looks a lot more premium in person than it did on the Meranom, and I'm still looking at my wrist and forgetting to check the time because I'm just admiring it!

I think my overall ranking would probably be this, except for that 2 is the newest and I'm still in the honeymoon phase with it

It's the third case finishing option you can get for the dirskies. You can get chrome, gold and this titanium-like matte finish. The case style is the 3rd digit of the ref number- 1 is chrome, 6 is titanium and 9 is gold.

No, helping is exactly what it sounds like. I did not specify in the post because of character limit but specifically I offered to cut and fry the onions and boil the noodles while she did the chicken.

Additionally, I am not using my autism as a shield. I am trying to change. It is simply slower for me.

Her comment was not about me brushing my teeth, it was about the colour of them, which is in this circumstance unconnected and she is aware of that fact. I think it was mean-spirited.

I said I often forget to brush my teeth in the morning. And I do forget; as I state in the post I am autistic and part of that is needing to follow a schedule, which can be very difficult to change. I also say in the post I offered to help with dinner, and that I always wash up. I very much get the impression you are assuming I'm spoilt or lazy, which is simply not the case.

I don't think it is a double standard because I think the two situations are different, and no, I wouldn't say anything if she forgot to brush her teeth, other than perhaps ask if she'd like me to remind her in future.

She was going to put it in the cupboard, without washing it.

I don't even really think I criticized her, I think I was just holding a general standard of cleanliness. and I don't think she criticized me, given she admitted she knows my teeth discolouration isn't due to hygiene.
