My aunt is fairly tall (about 1.9 meters) and she told me she was so thankful for men in drag becoming a thing in the zeitgeist, as she could finally find shoes and clothes her size with ease.

Sorry, it wasn’t meant to be directed at you as if you held the opinion. I can see how it could be read like that.

It was meant as more of an apropos to your comment.

Personally I’ve always found it quite antisemitic to prescribe all people of the Jewish faith the opinions of the state of Israel, and in turn hold them accountable for the states actions.

When people say anti Zionism is equivalent antisemitism that’s what they are doing, and in turn removing all agency from people of the Jewish faith.

I have yet to ask people who make the argument about this though, but I assume it’d be a shitstorm.

I’m with you, I didn’t mean to say it had the same meaning, just that when one way of using a word becomes wrong to use, we tend to stop using the word all together.

Which, I just want to be absolutely clear about, was not meant as some old man yelling at clouds reaction to language evolving.

I mean, when I did physics in high school (in Norwegian) the correct term for something slowing down was retardation, as opposed to speeding up, acceleration.

I wonder if this still is the case, the dictionary is updated all the time, as words take on new meaning, and that’s fine. I’m not fussed by the whole master to main in git, for example, though I’d prefer trunk.

I will get unnecessarily vocal if someone makes a point of saying that it’s pronounced jif though…

Tbh I looked just hard enough to find one not about faeces, didn’t look too hard at it.

You shouldn’t think big, necessarily, you should think heavy. Postage to be paid on delivery.

Lead sheet in a return envelope is a great thank you for unsolicited application offers.

Heavy shit sent to UKIP is a classic one.

Not only the self checkout. I usually end up behind someone who’s new to the concept of exchanging goods for legal tender and needs an introduction to it.

This is of course after they have told the story about why they’re in the store, starting with the new testament and moving on from there…

I spend a lot of time thinking about how it’s not my place to judge these people, but I think very few of them would manage to sit the right way on the toilet without outside assistance.

And sun, at the same time, blue skies and pissing rain when going to the shop.

First part of this comment I thought you were going somewhere completely different with it…

Agreed, awareness is great.

I think we all could use some time to reflect on how other people experience their day to day, at least I know I benefit from trying to raise my perspective to above my immediate self.

I get the point you’re trying to make, but as someone with multiple disabilities, both mental and physical, I can’t help but feel an icky taste in my mouth after saying “disability pride”. As if my brain damage, anxiety or cerebral palsy, to mention a few, is something to be proud of, rather than something to work on overcoming, in order to live my best life.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities, not acknowledge ones limitations and be comfortable with that, but to have them as an object of pride seems counter productive at best.

I don’t envy the poor soul that incurred Sir Whiskers wrath when the bottom of the food bowl became visible!

Stop killing games and a European burger initiative! Hope they’ll extend the latter to the EEC as well…

By talks, does he mean talks, or does he mean posting on truth social while China remains silent before he again extends the deadline, simultaneously calling himself a great negotiator and China impossible to reason with?

I love your style. I know YouTube is very fervent in tracking interests, as me watching AliensRock play shotgun king what feels like six months ago, am still reccomended Gotham chess and other chess related videos on the daily.

You might look for a way to incorporate this knowledge, so you’d be blessed with cheese in sweet video format as well! Eating with your eyes is after all a very calorie friendly addition…

Seconds before getting mauled by the looks of it. Beautiful creature!

I was about to say, she’s very polite about it!

Shit, I was thinking of Red Dawn, high school setting all the same…
