Seeing a lot of flags in the No Kings marches was very satisfying. We have to take genuine patriotism back from fake MAGA patriots.

Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought it started with Kingdom, which consisted of Animal and Plant. There’s like 20x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?
- Comment on Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast 6 days ago:
Depends on who you talk to. I always thought the atmo was pretty chill. When I was there around 2010 as a contractor for a couple years they had a strange work schedule: 9-hr days Mon-Thurs and half day Friday - which was almost universally regarded as a screw-around day, along with at least half of Thursday.

Shoutout to Chris Perkins! I got to help playtest parts of 5E back in the day and he was the DM. Getting paid to play D&D is nice work if you can get it!
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 6 days ago:
Eating and drinking are almost entirely habit. I would say the main driver is parents not teaching kids to just fucking drink water. You don’t need something with fizz, color or flavor. Water’s been keeping humans alive forever.

I feel like we’re not even having the same conversation here. I explicitly object to the argument that medical measures are necessary to validate a trans concept. You say I’m focusing too much on that, then explain that being transracial isn’t valid because of exactly that.
Saying you can’t make your body change in the various ways you list invalidates being transgender - you can’t make your body naturally produce the hormones you want, you have to artificially take them. But again, I don’t think that’s relevant - if you’re trans then you’ve always been trans, you just might not have understood it. To me the transracial concept seems equally valid, and I don’t see your biological objections differentiating them. I mean, you’re not even being accurate - people do modify themselves in all the ways you list. Cosmetic surgery and body mods are more than a $100 billion/year industry in the US alone. I just don’t see how you’re making a point.
- Comment on Is it weird I sleep with an old blanket I've had since I was a young girl? 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s weird at all. Being attached to physical objects is a totally normal part of being human. The comfort of familiarity is natural and nothing to be worried about. The personal example I can think of right away is that when a wallet wears out and I transfer my driver’s license etc to a new one, I’m aware of the same feeling of attachment. Throwing out the old one feels like a betrayal. I think feelings like that are completely natural. In fact my childhood cuddle toy - a stuffed dog named “Poody” is still up on a bookshelf over my desk. I hardly ever think about him but he’s always up there, kind of watching over me.

Makes sense on the surface, but people have reacted exactly the same way the whole transgender concept. “You can be in touch with your feminine side but your still male” or whatever.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 week ago:
Are you saying hormone injections or other medical measures are necessary for you to consider someone transgender? I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t agree with that. Correspondingly why would that be required to be transracial? TBH it sounds the same as the anti-trans argument that goes like, “cuz it just don’t make sense.”

I don’t know anything about this issue but apparently the presumption here is that your view is the right view and you’re just asking how to splain it to the person. My question is about the “I’ve already blocked this person…” Instead could you possibly just limit your conversation to other subjects? It keeps looking like we’re all getting more and more isolated from each other and developing such extreme aversion to anyone not having our exact POV about everything, it reminds me of survivalist bunker mentality.

Sounds to me like you just haven’t had enough practice, given that you aren’t interested in driving and haven’t don it much. If you can find people to drive you around or don’t mind taking buses and paying for Uber etc, not driving will probably be no more than a minor inconvenience - depending on where you live and how easy it is to get around without a car. Could influence your decisions about where to live and where to work, and having appointments could occasionally suck, but again it depends on where you live.

That’s why I was careful to say, “speak with dead,” implying a conversation.
- Comment on p is for pHunky 1 week ago:
Søren Sørensen, who came up with the concept of pH, wasn’t clear on the mean of the letter “p”. It does involve powers of 10, which can also be measured with electrical potential, so the best guess are “potential” or “power”, or several words that mean “power” in other languages and also happen to start with “p”. Bottom line, we don’t know, and unless somebody discovers more of Sørensen’s notes or a way to speak with the dead, we never will.
