That definitely covers some of the workers, but there are people who pursue it as a career rather than a gender identity. There are many documentaries, YouTube videos, and streamer VOD’s about it where you can hear it in their own words.
The word is ubiquitous to describe that culture in Thailand—they literally call them “ladyboy bars”. Calling it a trans bar would be inaccurate in my opinion, because it is not a bar for trans clientele, it is specifically a bar that hires ladyboys as attractive staff, much in the same way a Hooters only employs big breasted women.

This is a genuine question: I would never use the word shemale because it strikes me as a slur, but I would use the word ladyboy to specifically describe the gender-bending culture of Thai bar workers because some of them do not consider themselves trans, but pursue that path for the career and lifestyle options. Is it still a slur when referring to that phenomenon in Thai culture, or is there a better word to use?

That is not what is happening here. They aren’t shutting these sites down to keep us safe, they are shutting them down to enforce protection of capital.

Every once in a while, businesses make an anti-piracy push to scare off potential users and make a statement. So far, these efforts have not eliminated piracy completely. This is one of those moments.

Don’t wait, ask her out. Nothing is worse than an opportunity missed from procrastination, and some girls have short fuses when establishing a romantic foundation with someone.
Asking her out isn’t a binding commitment for a long relationship, but it does bookmark you as an interested party.

I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.

Yeah, but they (presumably) already paid for the bread. The issue is that the worker in the family is on the MTA.
- Comment on Anon's dad left for cigarettes 2 weeks ago:
I love that song. I always assumed she couldn’t get a dime because the breadwinner was now trapped on the MTA.
I shudder to think what happened to them when the sandwiches finally ran out.

Simple: “the gods have made it known that your descendants are pleased with your work, and your eye for quality is known throughout the aether among all spirits now and yet to come.”

Unfortunately, it seems to be thrown around by people who are trying to avoid blame for bad behavior. A lot of IP2 streamers yell that they are autistic to persuade people not to call the police. This stuff eventually filters through the internet to the point that people are using the word autistic in association with bad behaviors that have nothing to do with actual autism.

There are metaphysical religions that explore that third state—a sort of mystical atheism that acknowledges spiritual feelings while rejecting a simplistic controller god. Thelema is a good example.

Not to mention the girl herself has done a good job of milking these 15 minutes of fame for all they are worth. I probably would have forgotten about her already if I didn’t keep seeing her face on podcasts and news shows.
Her most recent attempt at launching her own podcast was pretty lackluster though, so maybe we are finally reaching the end of the arc.
Waiting patiently for a butt stuff girl to appear on the scene next.

- Comment on dream job 5 weeks ago:
I see it the other way around. Older people eat up clickbait news, and older people tend to be parents, so identifying the woman as a mother makes them go “she’s someone like me” while identifying her as a scientist is less likely to resonate. It helps some people imagine themselves in her shoes.
