I think the term you might identify with more is “gender nonconforming” meaning you enjoy things that are not traditionally associated with your gender, but you’re happy with your gender and body the way they are. If you felt dysphoric/uncomfortable with your body that would be more trans. Hope that helps, whatever you choose to label it doesn’t matter too much just be what makes you most comfortable!

The Russian SVR hacked both the DNC and RNC. Russia chose to release only the DNC files, to damage Hillary and support Trump. This is established fact per detailed indictments based on a mountain of technical evidence.

So just because what they released was authentic documents does NOT mean they’re some sort of impartial source as they claim here. Julian Assange is and was a Russian asset, he contributed greatly to the damage of American democracy brought on by Trump, and I hope he rots in prison right next to Trump himself and every other traitor and foreign intelligence asset who supports him.

Ukraine has won simply by continuing to exist over 2 years after Putin’s 3 day invasion started. Your pathetic attempts to influence Internet audiences in favor of Russia won’t help either, miserable troll. Bigoted, oppressive, evil societies like Russia will never win.

The only people this should ever be used on is the assholes who came up with it. Black Mirror wasn’t meant to be a playbook people!

Really? I’ve never heard it used that way, not even by old people. Maybe it evolved out of that usage a long time ago

In America we say “it is what it is” or “good enough for government work” to communicate a similar vibe. Sounds sophisticated when you say it in Japanese tho

Excellent! I used to go there a lot until I got tired of overpaying

Ah yes sweet manmade horrors beyond my comprehension

I see what you’re saying but the fact is any money we have is the money these types of companies are after, they’re not expecting rich people to keep McDonald’s afloat. They’re relying on commuters in a hurry, busy moms with whiny toddlers, people too tired after a day of work to cook for themselves etc. Voting with those dollars, however limited they may be, is the most powerful form of influence the lower class has.

They’re scared. Continue to avoid McDonald’s and they’ll keep lowering prices. We have the power because we have the money they want and can choose where to spend it.

What a nonsense article. Try to draw any curved mile-long line through Baltimore that doesn’t run through a predominantly black community, I’ll wait. There are unfortunately plenty of real racial issues to deal with, this NIMBYism posing as racial equity is just a distraction.

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform. It’s not like a transportation or a food or power company monopoly, it’s one specific form of entertainment. Try going outside?

Don’t take it from me, here is the literal CDC Facebook page telling people in Feb 2020 not to wear masks. And here is a scientific paper analyzing comments on their Facebook page comparing reactions of citizens to that Feb 2020 announcement, and the later April 2020 announcement where they did recommend masks. The paper explores lessons public health officials can learn from the failed messaging, it’s important to learn what we can so we’re ready for the next one. I do believe they were doing their best but this messaging was a mistake and it absolutely contributed to the confusion around this virus early on.

I don’t know why you’re lecturing me about this and including ad hominems, I understand how the virus spreads and take it very seriously, including masking where appropriate and getting the vaccine 4 months before it was available to the general public. I’m merely explaining how the CDC bungled the messaging at the beginning of the pandemic, it absolutely contributed to the amount of confusion. The public is simply not mentally equipped to handle that level of nuance, the CDC should have just said “masks work, wear one” and left it at that. The level of detail you explained is correct, and it’s way too much detail for the average brainrotted Facebooker to understand.

It’s kinda like the question of “how big does the body of water have to be before you’re comfortable swimming with a corpse?” Like we all know that’s how it works, but making a direct correlation makes it much more uncomfortable.

You’d better be leaving your phone at home every time you drive that car or you’ve defeated the point

Early on in the COVID pandemic, the CDC told the public that masks weren’t important for stopping the spread, when they knew this to be false. This was to prevent a run on N95s which needed to be prioritized for healthcare workers, which could have been bad (see: toilet paper situation). Iirc they changed this messaging to a more nuanced version, basically “don’t buy n95s leave those for healthcare workers, but make a cloth mask for yourself” after a couple weeks but the human brain retains the first thing it hears and a bunch of morons saw the updated messaging as contradictory to the previous message and threw up their hands about masks entirely.

Good work, you only have 17 more anti-Ukraine posts to make before your quota is met. Enjoy the paltry sum of rapidly-depreciating rubles your work is earning you, hope it was worth trading hours of your miserable existence for.

Wtf would a low level IT contractor turned spy know about that? Quoting Snowden just makes you look like a moron
