Yep. Also calling it the“Israel-Hamas war” is propaganda. Makes it sound like the only people dying in Palestine are Hamas soldiers, which is obviously nowhere near the truth.

Centrists are literally just anti-opinion and spineless.

Free Palestine.

Good god, I am so tired of hearing about this cringey edge lord.

FWIW I am trans and I 100% agree with you. Been thinking about making an account on another instance, just not sure which yet.

My trip to the USA in 2016 was one of the most harrowing, dehumanising, and humiliating experiences of my life. And I'm talking specifically about the actual journey, i.e. after the already lengthy, painful process of acquiring a visa.

They treated me like a terrorist. I had to be escorted by 2 armed big dudes around the airport, and they flipped their shit when I reached for my phone to tell my brother it'd be a while before I can come out (just so he wouldn't worry.) They went through my bag and were handling everything SUPER gently, asking if it was "safe" for them to touch it.

They then confiscated my passport, walked off, and literally never returned it to me. I spent hours asking various members of airport staff what to do because I was screwed. Thankfully, eventually one of them found it in a drawer and gave it back to me.

I was a minor BTW. I have had no desire to repeat the experience since.

Ah yes, everybody has that one drawer to keep pies in.

The “every copy of Mario 64 is personalised” is a really old creepypasta / meme that was definitely a thing before most zoomers were active on the internet.

And the PTSD thing is just stupid, sorry.

Eh... I know this is a meme sub, but this undermines any arguments to be made about real problems with healthcare systems by just... not being accurate.

If you need stitches in the UK, that's an A&E (ER for my North American friends) sort of ordeal, and yeah, you won't be seen immediately because the system is badly managed and overwhelmed. You'll have to wait several hours (unless you're bleeding out/at risk of death, in which case you'll be seen quickly), not 43 months ffs.

That said, anything that's non-urgent can take a few months. The only exceptions to this are 1) mental health, where you're looking at several months for the waitlist almost irrespective of severity, and 2) gender-affirming care, where you won't be seen for well in excess of 5 years, which at this rate & in this political climate (TERF island), is likely to outlast the NHS gender clinics themselves. Private is still an option for both of these branches of healthcare, but it's expensive for sure.

I feel left out, not even a spam bot wants me :(

Coming from Mr. Market Manipulation lmao.

Agreeing with your summary of his actions and calling him cringey are not mutually exclusive

A… week long meeting? Surely there’s a more productive use of everyone’s time.

What does this even mean

It breaks my heart that apparently most of the British public have never had good black pudding.

I’ve been boycotting them for a while (BDS), but it’s good to see that more people are joining in.

I've come back to this after sleeping to check; has anyone figured out what the hell this means?

I know people will disagree, but as a trans man I personally find language like “people who get pregnant” really dysphoria-inducing and uncomfortable. It’s still better than AFAB/AMAB though.

This is not the reason. There are US bases in the UAE.

Few things entertain me as much as people using “woke” in a derogatory way.

As much as I think disclosure is important, they didn't have sex. This is literally just trans panic. I cannot believe she got charged with anything.

Dude lmao I lost my hair in my first year on T, it was fucking nuts. Middle Eastern genes done me dirty

Tradeoff still 100% worth it tho, despite feeling like the experience genuinely aged my soul lol.
