Just admit you like sucking off billionaires because you have the same mental illness they do and stop making irrelevant comments

You’d call me crazy if I stuffed my house full of gasoline or batteries. It wouldn’t matter if I called them “universal energy storage”.

Come over here big boy and I’ll find you a handy

I have no idea if this is true but it’s inconsequential so I’m going to choose to believe it.

You people, I swear. I said specifically that I’m not arguing for increased population and yet your whole response is structured like that’s exactly what I said we should do. Do you even read what you respond to or do you just scan until you find the right key word to launch into a rant?

I’m not arguing for population growth but we definitely have more than enough resources for everyone now. Scarcity isn’t the problem, it’s that we allow people to hoard those resources and we waste a ton of them.

There’s like 40 grams of sugar in a pop tart. The recommended daily intake is 10 grams. That is 4 times the limit before you even count the other pop tart or the ice cream.

I don’t need more shit to remember to do. I need a computer that works without me micromanaging it

Looks like a guy in the profile pic

It was until it became clear that you either can’t or won’t comprehend the obvious fact that you can tell some people are trans. What your reasoning for that is doesn’t matter. I’m no longer interested in debating self evident statements with you.

You’re either being intentionally obtuse or are actually just dumb. Either way I’ve spent more time explaining this simple concept to you than it should take so I’m done with this. Feel free to call me transphobic since that’s clearly the only answer you were ever going to accept

No

You’re crossing wires a bit here. The first one doesn’t matter too much but it’s that I never actually said this person looks trans. Someone else did and I confirmed that it is a thing, although not necessarily in this particular case.

The main confusion seems to be that you don’t think trans people can have distinctive features brought on by surgery or hormone therapy. Some of them definitely do. There are other kinds of tells that apply to people who get other types of work done. MAGA face is one example. Different groups of people tend to get different types of work done and groups of similar people tend to have similar work done. It’s certainly not universal but it’s enough to notice a pattern with specific types of people. This applies to all groups of people who get work done, but it does present differently for each group.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that surgery oftentimes leaves clues that it was performed or that lots of trans people have had surgery. Those are just two facts about the world that have nothing to do with any kind of moral judgement on trans people.

The statement you quoted is the most general statement I made. It was worded that way precisely because this phenomenon is not exclusive to trans people. That’s just how the topic came up.

So no, it makes no difference that this guy isn’t trans because that’s only one subset of visible characteristics brought on by body modification that we’re talking about. There are many other kinds, some of which definitely apply to him.

You are welcome to your own interpretation of the world but I think most people would agree that there is a common set of characteristics associated with any kind of surgical or hormonal body modification. You are right when you say that some trans people exhibit those characteristics more than others but they definitely exist. You don’t have to ignore that reality to avoid being bigoted towards trans people.

That may be true but it doesn’t impact whether or not such a “look” exists. The intent of the person pointing something out is not relevant to the existence of the thing being described.

Doesn’t mean it’s not a thing

please tell me they’re prioritizing minimizing the existential cost of the climate catastrophe over the $ cost

I’m sure you know that’s not the case. It’s always about the money.

That said, I would guess that these function similarly to hybrid car engines. Electric motors are better at providing a quick or variable torque rsponse and gas engines are most efficient running at a constant RPM. Put those properties together and you get an electric motor designed for takeoff and large altitude changes, and a gas motor designed for maintaining cruising speed.

Essentially, the exact opposite of what you wanted.

You just paraphrased that emotions aren’t uncontrollable, proving my point.

You can choose to focus on the positive aspects of their life and your relationship, yes. That’s not exactly the same as not grieving but it isn’t allowing your emotions to drive your actions either.

Either way, that’s quite a bit different than taking a bite of food you don’t like, isn’t it?
