Oh no, that actually makes me sad. I love Microsoft Lens. I install it on my device and I just revoke its network access, so that way it can't connect to the internet. And it just works flawlessly. It's amazing. God, I hate this. We can't have anything nice.

I have honestly completely given up on streaming all together. It's such a hassle. And looking for the thing that you want to watch always ends up the same way. It's on another service that you've never heard of before and don't pay for.

I watch the stuff I want to watch through other means. I don't have enough money to give 15 bucks a month to every asshole who has enough money to hoard movies and TV shows rights.

When I finally accepted myself as a trans woman, I've had to face and encounter many new fears, some I were expecting... never thought I'd develop such an intense fears of ending up in prison though that I'd be having waking nightmares about it. I'd rather die than being forced to detransition and I'd say that it speaks volume about the way I, a transfeminine girl, would be treated in a men's prison that this isn't even the worst scenario I can think of while having it be plausible and grounded in the reality of other's experiences.

I don't follow this game at all, nor do I care about Bungie, but everything I've seen and heard about this game sounds like an incoming blunder. I can't see this game succeed at all. But hey, best of luck, I guess.

Yup, can't wait for the next BattleBit Remastered update.

These political parties never learn. It's mind-boggling. How many failures of the Democrats in the U.S. or similar parties do you need to finally understand that trying to cater to the right wing will only validate the far right and alienate whoever is left to vote for you? The more a society shifts to the right, the harder left you must be. Double down!

People go to the far-right out of bigotry, but not just this, they go to them because in the end they always end up being the only ones proposing solutions, saying that they're going to change their lives, whereas the rest of you are just saying, oh, vote for us or otherwise it's gonna be the mean far-right in power, but we're not planning on changing anything.

Capitalism is failing and crumbling all around us. People are begging for something to change. The far right is promising that they will change things, by throwing minorities under the bus, it's a false promise, it's not a solution, it's not gonna change anything, but at least they're saying something, while the rest of you are just... doing nothing. They lie, they cheat, they manipulate everyone, but in the end they're still the only ones saying that they're gonna do something!

There is one minority that deserves to be thrown under the bus and we all know which. It's the wealthiest, the 1%, the billionaires, but all of you are too cowardly to take the fight to them so instead you throw us all to the wolves! You don't care about the people, you don't care about policy, all you care is keeping your fucking seat at the table.

I'm so fucking sick of seeing the same goddamn thing happen again and again and none of these people are taking any lessons from it! No one is coming to save us, that would require them to work and do something for once.

Damn, that's so fucking bleak...

Oh yeah, definitely. The whole we want to have grandkids thing and so on.

No, it's not a family decision. I'm not your property, you don't own me ~~that's my girlfriends's role :3~~.

A reminder that families are just people and that often the only things you have in common is DNA and blood. That's it. You don't have to be around people who hurt you. They're just people. There is nothing more special about them than any stranger you cross in the street.

Would you force yourself to see someone you don't like? Well, it's the same thing with your family. I know it's much easier said than done. Trust me, I struggle with it as well.

Even author JK Rowling, who is known for her anti-trans sentiments, involved herself in the controversy.

I mean, you say that as if it's a surprise, as if she's not absolutely mentally deranged by the very thought of our existence. It's all she does nowadays. Every time a trans person is mentioned anywhere in the UK, she's there tweeting about it. Of course she got involved!

The victim is a black woman. Which is not surprising. Transphobic and misogynistic standards have a big racist bend to them and black women, especially athletes, have long been targeted with these kinds of things. In competitive sports, it's been an issue for a very long time, black women get a lot of transphobic and misogynistic shit thrown at them because these standards are built on whiteness first and foremost.
