Idk about cats, but my mom’s dog absolutely never minded wearing clothes. What she doesn’t like is stuff on her head. But shirts and stuff she doesn’t give 2 shits.

Get this. You have a structure in your brain called the “mammillary bodies”. It’s because it looks like a pair of tits.

Well I know they aren’t. I just don’t understand why they aren’t.

Yeah, I’ll be honest and say that I do not understand what it means to be transgender. And I will never understand. It doesn’t matter how many trans friends I have or how many times people try to explain it to me. I won’t ever fully get it.
But why in the ever living fuck should it matter whether or not I get it? Just let people live how they want to live!! I don’t understand why it’s so complicated for Christian fundies to understand that. How in the world are trans people harming anyone by existing? You don’t have to “get it” to understand that people just want to live their fucking lives in peace.
One of the biggest things people bring up is the sports issue, like you said. To people’s credit, I actually don’t think there’s a great solution to the sports problem. But pro athlete trans people make up only a tiny fraction of trans people so I don’t understand why it should randomly be used to invalidate all trans people.
- Comment on Does anyone think it's poetic that in 2024, Trump is re-elected similarly to the same way George W Bush was in 2004? 1 week ago:
I don’t recall George Bush attempting to cause an overthrow of the US government before.

Is the red one a real pic or a photoshop? It seems to actually look decent with some color as opposed to its normal appearance as a stainless steel fridge.

Hard Mountain Dew is fucking disgusting. I like regular Mountain Dew, but the alcoholic ones are horrendous. I’m guessing it’s because the alcoholic ones use Diet Mountain Dew which is the worst diet soft dunno on the planet. Dunno why they don’t have a sugar option.

It seems like this would negatively impact the health of the snake. Do we have any scale-less snake experts?

Right?? I don’t understand why every single person nowadays supposedly has autism and ADHD. If everyone has autism and/or ADHD now, then does anyone really have it?
Imo, it doesn’t really make sense to turn what are normal human experiences suddenly into disorders now because it’s trendy. If it significantly impairs functioning to the point of things like failing out of school or the inability to hold down a job, then it makes sense to discuss it. Otherwise, I don’t get why it’s so trendy to pathologize common experiences/traits.

Weird! I’m on Android 14 and I can blast the volume as loud as I want without any sort of notification. All it does is the volume slider turns red when it goes beyond like 80% or something, but it doesn’t say anything to me about it. I have a Samsung phone. My last phone was a Motorola phone and I don’t recall it nagging me either.
- Comment on Thanks for the warning I guess?? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever had a phone that does that. Is that an iPhone thing?

Weird. I don’t have that problem.
- Comment on Absolute slander 4 weeks ago:
Once during a phone call, my family needed to know the dimensions of something at my brother’s house. He couldn’t find a tape measure, but he had a jug of milk. We determined that the item we needed to know the dimensions of was the size of the height of my brother plus one milk jug.
- Comment on Bombs Awat 4 weeks ago:
I’m confused though. Don’t people use this to talk about how small things like bugs can fall from a large height and be uninjured, but large things like a human or elephant will be injured if falling from a height? I feel like what you’re saying is backwards to what the internet has told me.

There were probably others with no friends who just had social anxiety. You probably didn’t notice because they just blended into the background and didn’t stand out much.
- Comment on Currently happening 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I don’t think it’s really fair for anyone to be generalizing people over the number of friends they have. There are shitty and no shitty people in both camps.
- Comment on Currently happening 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’d like to think I’m not a bad person. I just have intense social anxiety. The only way I’ve made friends are when chatty people tend to talk to me and invite me to things. I’ve always appreciated when people do this, but then I just don’t retain the friendship when I’ve moved across the country or when we’ve moved into different life stages. I’m fortunate enough to have a friend now who is just nice and talks to me. Prior to that I didn’t have anyone for a while outside of my online friends. Some of us are really just terrified of other human beings is all.

Wow how did you manage to reach almost 13 hours for a lot of those days? I consider myself chronically online, but my highest this week was just over 6 hours lol.
- Comment on I screen, you screen, we all screen for I screen. 1 month ago:
My job involves utilizing a screen all day, but I actually only tend to frequently glance up at it and don’t spend a lot of time staring directly at it. I use voice dictation software for my job so I just do quick checks that it’s working and I’m on the right screen essentially. Most of my work is with my hands and it can be pretty neat! There are a lot of kinds of jobs out there!

It’s not quite the same. But I love near a university called University of South <State Name>, yet it is absolutely nowhere even remotely near the southern part of the state.

This is terrifying. I both hate it, am horrified, and also think it’s funny. It’s very conflicting but you get an upvote lol.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 1 month ago:
I suppose I could give it to you for Hillary Clinton because it could have been confusing wrt Bill. But with Harris, I’m not buying it. Both “Barack” and “Obama” are equally distinct to me. We have never had a president Harris before, so it’s plenty distinct enough. It’s not as though presidential candidates always have wildly distinct and uncommon names.
