Just so you know, if I catch you using transphobic slurs in my presence, knowing that it will cause harm, and defend its usage in that context, I will make life as difficult for you as I can as long as you're in my social proximity.

If you insist on using terms like "d*ckgirl", "h*rm", or any other objectifying terms to refer to others, fuck you, choke on your own feces, you get no quarter.

The reason this has become a topic in the discourse now is because generic HFA rescue inhalers are now just hitting the market with FDA approval.

That's ecofascism, folks.

Never, ever let environmentalists tell you that "some human lives" are an acceptable cost to pay for the environment because people died the last time they said that and won. That's not abstract.

That's murder.

When CFC inhalers suddenly got replaced by HFA inhaler two things happened:

1) Pharma companies got to disappear their competition in the form of generic CFC inhalers since the FDA and Friends™ decided the new HFA devices could be patented.

2) Rescue inhalers got crappier because HFA doesn't propel albuterol as well as CFC does which means you need more lung power to be able to use your rescue inhaler. Yeah...

... and suddenly CFC inhalers disappeared from the market and two things happened:

So apparently there was a big "news" thing a few months ago where a bunch of outlets ran stories about how ~big the carbon footprint is for metered dose inhalers~ as if those inhalers aren't often the only thing standing between actual human beings and preventable death.

Fuck you and fuck your fascist fucking greenhouse gas emissions.

Let me tell you a story 'cuz this ain't the first time this happened:

one reason I hate linux is that same "I'll run whatever you tell me, boss" attitude when there's a config hidden away somewhere missing a semicolon, all your network packets are inside-out, and it's just sat there naively thinking you meant for that to happen

one reason I like linux is that people can do ridiculous crap like this
