I mean, do we not remember when companies were literally locking employees into buildings as they come down in a raging inferno?
More than once?
They’re so much quieter, too. Not as easy to notice when you’re the one using the tool, but compare how it sounds to be nearby someone else using one and it’s a biiiig difference

Movies have worse scenes than this.
Heard it here first folks, if it’s in a movie, it’s not a war crime any more.
I’ll say that I mostly agree, it’s good to be critical and sceptical, but I do think that defense is well worse than lukewarm. I’d almost say if you treat your prisoners anywhere near as badly as they do in most movies, you’re already well into war crime territory.
Almost as moral as the fullest void is full
I like “realize”. I knew there was such a thing as a “sex change surgery” and even looked into it from a technical perspective because it intrigued me. It’s fantasized about moving to a new city and getting one; starting over.
I’d heard an offhand version of David Reimer’s story as kind of a conservative horror story. I’d seen movies and tv shows make plenty of fun of people who “pretended” to be “the wrong sex”. Monty Python’s “lady penis” scene still pops into my head sometimes.
I knew trans people existed and I’d seen a couple of people with “they/them” on their name badge. But I never really put together that those things were “real” in a meaningful way, or applicable to me and my experiences.
So then I kind of realized what it all meant.
So often, you’ll hear trans people say they always knew. I think that’s both the case, and a bit off. My guess is that they’ve always had a feeling SOMETHING was amiss, but weren’t really able to nail down the exact feeling until, well… They started considering transitioning.
That’s almost exactly what I was trying to say with my top level comment.
I agree with the other replies too, but also yes. The hardest thing for some people to understand about my transition is that I don’t want to be a different person than I was before. I’m not trying to change who I am. I just want to live who I have always been where people can see it in a way they couldn’t before.
As for you: talk to trans people. See if you can relate to them.
I second this whole thing. Consider your gender. Spend a bit of time thinking about it. If you are trans and don’t know, it’s not something that’s going to suddenly start being true, you’re just going to put the pieces together.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I didn’t turn anything, I just found a way to say what I had already been feeling the whole time. I never felt like a “man” or a “boy” and just smiled and nodded when other people described me in those categories. I didn’t have the words, didn’t have a way to let other people know how I felt about myself until now, and still struggle with some people who still don’t understand.
I’m not a woman because I like nail polish, dresses, or unicorns, and I’m not not a woman because I like video games, dragons, and nerd shit. I’m a woman because that’s who I am, and once I realized that was “allowed” it was the only true way to say it. I’m not a feminine man and I never was, and while I don’t think I’m a particularly masculine woman, I didn’t think “looking girly stuff” or “liking manly stuff” is ever going to define who you are. If you honestly don’t know who you are, I can see it helping you figure it out, but if you are comfortable being who you are, you don’t need to change it.
I was thinking the same thing.
She asked me to murder someone. You know, couples stuff.

It’s totally illegal right up until it suddenly isn’t squatting any more
Wait, wait, wait. You’re telling me people leave their homes?!
You’re good, I just think it’s worth saying out loud. There’s probably plenty of parents who do think the Bible says it, even though it doesn’t
Don’t have to tell me twice
What it actually says is not to lay with a man as you would with a woman. It’s not about being gay, it’s about topping!
The Hebrew Bible maybe, but it’s pretty clearly outlined by Paul in the new testament that non-jewish Catholics definitely don’t have to follow Jewish custom (and don’t have to be circumcised in particular)
I think the stated purpose of Airbnb is fine, allowing people to rent out their homes for short term while they’re off vacation or something. I think the reality of what actually happens is pretty not okay, people buying properties all over and only ever renting them using Airbnb without ever actually living there and while preventing anyone else from living there
