- Comment on George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter 5 days ago:
I gave up on him finishing the series years ago. I was super into the books, as they elaborated on so much that GoT had to leave out for practicalities sake. I agree with others that the world simply got too big. A final book in the series would likely not do enough to give the various plot lines justice and a sense of finality.
The show really needed another 2-3 seasons to flesh out the plot lines that were laid. The three eyed raven, the faceless men, the children of the forest, the white walkers…and we get bran as the new leader? Absurd. Danny becoming mad felt right, but everything else was wrapped up horribly. There’s so much more that the show could have been. But instead D&D got a Star Wars deal, that never panned out, and peaced out. A damn shame.
I had always thought that Martin had a proper plan for the series. But again as others have said here, perhaps this was the ending that he had in mind. If so, then damn.
- Comment on Trump Claimed a Video Showed ‘Burial Sites’ of White Farmers. It Didn’t. 6 days ago:
That’s the beauty of arguing in bad faith: The headline is the story, and his sycophants will believe it without reading the article with even a modicum of skepticism. They take everything at face value, whereas those critical of Trump may do a cursory search to find out that he is straight up lying.
White Genocide is absurd on its face, and those who believe it are stupid at best, or fascist at worst. Fuck him and his hateful rhetoric.

On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.
I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.

HBO can eat a bag of rusty nails. Rowling is a piece of shit, and they tacitly support her views by giving her even a single cent.

They deserve nothing. They wish to rob us of our dignity. I say we rob them of theirs.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 4 weeks ago:
That’s really nice to hear, but I’m tired of waiting to find someone that cares for me as more than just a friend. I recognize that I likely will never find that.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 4 weeks ago:
I want someone to marry me again someday. I want someone to stand in front of my friends and family and profess their love and devotion.
I gave up on that dream a couple of years ago.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
My mom made no such effort, and gave up on calling me Jessica a couple of years ago. I’d cry my eyes out if she had sent me what your dad sent you. I know that she loves and cares about me, but she also refuses to see me as how I truly am. It’s such an odd experience, hurtful at many times. But she also bought me a car last year, and has offered to help me bridge the gap when I was off work for 2 weeks due to an injury. In spite of her non-support, I love her dearly.
What I’m getting at is that familial relationships are nuanced. Give your dad some credit for taking the time to research what being trans is about. Of course there is more to it than just the medical side of things, but he is trying.
Your age also factors into this as well.
My stepfather made several transphobic statements while he was alive. If he was still with us, I’d bet his conservative worldview would have changed a bit. I still hold him in high regard, because I know that he loved me and just wanted what he thought was best.
TL;DR: Family relationships are hard, and it seems like your dad is trying.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Without knowing the nuances of OP’s relationship with their father, it would seem that dad is trying. That text sounds like someone who did a lot of research and is trying to show that they cared enough to read up on the trans experience. Whether that leads to acceptance is something only OP will know or at least have an idea of.

Come on now. Having therapy should not be a requirement, but it should be encouraged. When someone has the courage to come out as trans, it can be a very difficult time. Having a professional that helps people who experience gender dysphoria can be a life saver. How many trans people have to go it alone in the beginning of their journey? If they have the means, I’d recommend it. Just reading studies or participating in trans spaces, for some folks, is not enough.

Literally nobody in the trans community cares about this topic until conservatives discovered it was effective.

Nothing fixes it. The language is still Russian. Changing it and changing it back doesn’t do anything. Factory resetting does not fix it either.
The links I provided show other users trying fixes, and nothing working.
