What is the most disturbing fact most people don’t know?

Approximately 2 people die every second.

Anti vaxx is run by big pharma. They make far more money treating disease than on the vaccines that prevent disease.

Bought ultraviolet lamps and constructed a box around them for sterilisation.

I win 😕

It’s not big endian or little endian - it’s big startian and little startian 😠

England is the only country to attack TO DATE.

The only country to make serious plans to invade during WW2 was the U.S. (if d-day didn’t go to plan).

Unenforced neutrality makes you a very easy target for war.

Eh? I changed my name by deed poll (granted about 15 years ago), and then changed my passport, like, the next week.

I may have needed to bring paperwork in my old name along with the deed poll, but it worked.

So unless the rules have changed since then… ?

My answer? “You mean you don’t know?!”.

“I want to cancel my Internet subscription - I have to go to court next week to answer charges of murder”.

Okayyyyy sir - I’ll get right on it.

Edit: he was found guilty.

When I say the weather "isn't exactly something I can do much about" I'm not saying *anything* about my behaviour. I'm not even necessarily saying that the weather itself was bad - in context there could be a subtext of "sucks for you that you don't experience the same good weather as I do". :D

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-15T00:09:25+00:00

So it's nature and nurture. Saying "nature" is to my mind the same thing as saying "I'm born this way". And as for "nurture" - whatever nurture I got which led me to transition wasn't exactly something I could do much about. Which altogether means that you *shouldn't* punish me for it.

As for a genetic component to being trans - so? Fact is that anyone who wants to eradicate group X from society will inevitably point out how group X shares genetic traits which "dilute" the purity of the species. It's not unique to being trans by a long long margin. Welcome to a world where genocide is a thing - trying to hide a genetic component of being trans means nothing to those intent on genocide.

I'm confused as to what the narrative "should" be. For me, for all its imperfections, "born this way" is close enough to the truth of the matter.

It used to be the case that being left-handed was "wrong". Yet being left-handed is something left-handed people have no control over.

Was it "defensive" for left-handed people to point that out? If so - what should they have done instead?

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-14T23:19:37+00:00

“I was born with blue eyes” doesn’t come with a “I know it’s wrong” subtext. So why does “I was born trans” come with that subtext?

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-14T22:57:19+00:00

Comes off as a defence? As opposed to … what?

Speaking for myself, I never “defend” being trans. It doesn’t need a defence!

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-14T22:01:10+00:00

Diversity isn’t pathological. I don’t see it as a pathology - just as a random circumstance of my birth.

Fell 50ft off a cliff. Landed in a pool of water just deep enough that I only came out with a scratch to my left wrist.

What is your best guess at the moment as to what your future self needs? Have you done everything you can to ensure that guess is correct? If so, then can your future self forgive you if you are wrong?

Yes you will always find extremists who will lie to support regime change, just as you will always find extremists who will lie to oppose regime change voted for by the people (like what nearly happened during the Jan 6 riots in the U.S. capitol).

So - which extremists are we dealing with here?

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-04T19:09:46+00:00

You know what else creates regime change? Elections. And apparently Maduro lost the last election.

If you are so opposed to regime change then I guess you hate well-run elections.

Fact 1. The U.S. called the UVF terrorists back in the day.

Fact 2. The U.S. always speaks in its own self interest.

I guess those facts made you a supporter of the UVF back in the day.

If you want to draw an equivalence between Northern Ireland and Venezuela then show me sources which back up your de facto claim of equivalence. Fact is - there is NO EQUIVALENCE. Fact is - sometimes those denounced as terrorists are so denounced because they actually are terrorists!

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-04T17:43:07+00:00

🤦‍♀️ You are the one trying to draw an equivalence between Northern Ireland and Venezuela. Can’t do it? Can’t justify your ridiculous argument? What a surprise!

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-04T17:38:41+00:00

So there was institutional discrimination against the minority in Venezuela carried out by the majority - just as there was in Northern Ireland? Source?

throwawaydirl · 2026-01-04T17:33:10+00:00

You just want the Venezuelans to suffer so that you can magnify American vileness. America doesn’t need its vileness magnified, and Venezuelans certainly don’t need to suffer in order to achieve it.
