  • Definitely fuck the Sacklers, but I’m not sure I understand what the part about being FDA approved is supposed to mean. Is it saying that it’s surprising that Oxy is FDA approved because it can and does kill so many people? I would argue that the reason it kills more people than heroine and cocaine combined is precisely because it’s FDA approved and therefore easier to acquire, not because it’s inherently less safe than other opioids. Or is the argument something else?

    But see, that’s one of the things the Kinsey scale doesn’t really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldn’t say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that it’s gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that it’s automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?



  • True, the hospital could be doing the bare minimum to keep him alive. But I get what the person you’re relying to is saying. Surely if you’re a capitalist ghoul who runs both a health insurance company and a hospital, you would want as little overlap between customers as possible in order to maximize profits, right? The people paying you insurance premiums would ideally never get sick and require the insurance to pay out, and the hospital would ideally be full of people with other insurance plans.


  • +1 to this for my personal anecdotal experience as a cis man. If I’m wearing a suit or something, I might refer to something that is in my breast pocket, or if I was ever to wear armor for some cool reason, I might wear a breast plate, but I can’t think of any other situation where I would ever refer to that upper torso part of myself as a breast. But like everyone else is saying, you do you, dude.









  • Yeah, I saw one yesterday for the first time during football because I typically avoid all the classic sources of commercials, and it was just two dude bros who looked like they were making a podcast sitting around saying “Yo, I don’t want all my tax money being used to give prisoners sex change operations”. And I thought, “who on earth would this possible convince to vote for Trump who wasn’t already absolutely going to?”


  • So if and when we make that happen, and we have a society free of that stuff, do we think everything will always be perfect and free of conflict and no one will break the (hopefully much improved) laws? That seems unlikely, so we’ll need some kind of way of keeping the order, right? Will it not be the responsibility of a specific job? Will there be people with that job but we won’t call them any of the names we currently have for that general job category?
