London is full of excellent amazing things but they’re spread out over an absurdly large area so it’s such a pain doing anything. And everyone who lives there is so numb to it! They’ll happily indulge every day in 3-4 hours of public transport as if this is a rational way to live.

I’m very happy that they have a reasonably decent transit system, but fuck me I wanted those 4 hours in my life actually.

I would have put forward “weg” but I’ll accept “weeg”

Oh, sorry the 45 page document is for something else. The only person who understands this dataset is Dave and he was made redundant 5 years ago. Anyway, can you get this done today?

It’s a r/bonehurtingjuice meme (a little like an anti-meme, but bonehurtingjuice takes memes and recontextualises them).

The original comic it’s referencing shows an air hostess asking someone to turn off a tablet for takeoff. An older man, holding a book, chimes in with ‘I guess I don’t have to turn mine “off” eh? Ha! Heh heh.’

The laugh in particular is so off kilter and strange it became a meme in itself, a very persistent one used in tons of other bonehurtingjuice memes.

The annoying “letter” paper size is for some unknown reason what windows always sets as the paper size unless I change it to A4 manually. Naturally if I forget the printer won’t print. US paper sizing - annoying me on the other side of the Atlantic.

No, please, no, let this stay in the other place

3 hours? In this economy? Best I can offer is 20 minutes, and even that’s gonna cost you

Hey, but zip lock bags are handy

But like… Who would fuck a shark? Surely only another shark. Surely…

Long string of effectively random (in terms of their connection to you) words + special characters that make it hard to either guess or brute force.

Lmao this is like that Nathan For You episode where customers had to hike up a mountain to send their rebate 😂

Aggressively realistic HEMA reenactments

Holy shit that’s amazing

I would bet on it.

I’m not sure my income can support a full time student and full time layabout lol

The only reason this has blown up is because she threatened that tracker with legal action. It’s the Streisand effect 100%. The same shit happend when Elon Musk shut down the account that was tracking him.

I’m also a woman who doesn’t like makeup and drinks beer! Or, well, I would if it didn’t give me such terrible hangovers haha! Who’s shitting on you for that?

I suspect that many people, perhaps including yourself and the OP, misapprehend the categories/segments/whatever “pushed” by trans people as prescriptive rather than descriptive. The vast majority of trans people I have met, including myself, just want to live as they feel, which I think you get based on your comment… The boxes and other slicing and dicing of people, from a trans perspective, makes it easier to find community with other people who have shared experiences and struggles.

The intent is not (again, in my experience which is I will admit not universal!) to divide people further, it’s in fact in general a way to bring together people who have already been divided. I understand that sometimes people outside of the community are this as exclusion, like seeing the use of “cis” as a slur… But the truth is that we are already excluded in so many ways, and language that helps us to find people who understand that isn’t meant to divide anyone further.

Its also worth pointing out that although gender is a social construct, and it certainly shouldn’t bother anyone how anyone else chooses to express their gender or whatever… That doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Statements like “men like beer” and “women like makeup” are obviously antiquated, but there remains some truth to them, in the way many people love their lives. We can simultaneously erode those divisions between genders - especially those constructed by corporations to sell us shit, looking at you cosmetics - while also acknowledging that they are there and that is part of the reason that trans people exist.

Perhaps one day there will be a genderless society where all are truly equal and there are no differences beyond the biological between men and women… But we don’t live in that world.

smh these days we all sudo rm fr fr

I’m not saying it is. I think (humans) eating meat is morally wrong, doubly so given the level of industrialisation we’vebuot around it. That said, I’m usually happy to keep it to myself. But this makes me wish with renewed vigor that the whole affair would stop, and that there were not chicken corpses even available for this person to desecrate.
