You get electric clippers, the shirt, a septum ring and a piercing gun, and everyone's cast-off binders.

We just trade binders around, like hot potato. Because everyone is broke! And these shits are 30 dollars!

Nobody tells trans men to get a septum piercing, or an undercut, or to buy a navy blue short-sleeved calico print shirt with little anchors on it.

You just get a pack of this stuff in the mail when you start transitioning.

You have to do the piercing yourself.

Passing tips for trans men are like, "Be tall and beardy and wear a polo shirt. Look like you work at Best Buy as much as possible."

also this wikipedia article is badly written in a couple of funny ways:

- the implication that there's less than 20,000 atoms in the entire universe
- the sentence that, if you used a galactic algorithm to solve the P-NP problem, " One immediate practical effect would be to earn the discoverer a million dollar prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute."
- the very first example, under the examples heading, of the article for Galactic Algorithms, says "This algorithm is not galactic and is used in practice."

boppin around playing botw, this goes here as well now that i've moved accounts

@LexYeen It was a tactic used by feds to break up leftist groups in the 1950s. They would infiltrate leftist groups and accuse others of being cops.

The idea is that leftists have a tendency to divide on strict ideological lines, rejecting people for "wearing the wrong jacket". In this case a channer was going around accusing people of being trolls.

Polymath means you date a lot of different maths

When people use the term snowflake unironically, just remember they're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society and become radicalized. and that Tyler Durden isnt the hero but a personification of the main character's deep insecurities, and that his snowflake speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.

this is why i dread every discourse where things are not cookie cutter laid out for us critically, we have engrained a society and cultural in which the main modal form of storytelling is people who are me and my friends that are good and people who are not my friend and are not me are bad. i cant believe im saying this but joker, a movie that is not even that fucking smart or original created incel discourse because the main character isnt a reliable protagonist

I think the wildest thing a cis person ever said to me about being trans is that I was just transitioning to fit in.

"Hi, everybody, I'm going to make myself less conspicuous by making drastic changes to my social, legal, and medical status. Hope that's ok!"

A friend reminds me that Judaism exists in the Pokemon Universe (Meowth mentions Yom Kippur at one point in a song, apparently.) But it's also important to note that Pokemon exist in this, the Jewish Universe.

"Millenials are killing [x]" is just an inflammatory way to observe that society is changing and people aren't doing stuff they used to do a lot of.

is this a bug? yes, but it's also very funny and confusing when it happens, so it's fine

Papyrus? Comic Sans? Gill Sans is truly the most evil font, because it was created by a very bad man.
