You know, in my future fiction project, the annexation of Canada into the USA was going to be a careful, gradual and deliberate process over the course of many years... But I guess I was forgetting that the USA's political system isn't exactly built to encourage that type of long-term thinking, and this type of crude, kneejerk, ill-conceived attempt at coersion was really the whole time the muuuuch more likely route the USA would take if it were to try to annex Canada.
We are in an insane timeline. Trump could...
And we are only on the 14th day of Trump's presidency. If Netanyahu figures out the right things to say to Trump - the US could end up going to war with Iran because Trump is a delusional moron with little connection to reality.
It obviously would all be really bad, but you have to admit Trump knows how to give us a good new season of the USA. (Take notes, Biden)
I've never enjoyed roller coasters, frankly.
is America still going up the rickety ramp or has it already begun the full plummet
God, don't even make me think about it.
we're still in the line, watching promotional footage of the ride on the monitors. someone has farted, park security is randomly pulling people out of line for not seeming white enough, and some of us are talking about what to get for lunch.
We are going to have a Donnie Darko-style season finale and go back to the real timeline, where the bullet didn't miss, right?
Right?
Why else would you be wearing that stupid bunny suit?
Jesus titty-yiffing Christ...
How did you know I was wearing a bunny suit?!
Sorry, I'd rather not to be called "dude".
if someone asks you not to call them something you respect it
Around the same time as this JasonDJ person got defensive about misgendering me, someone on Lemmygrad got defensive about misgendering someone else, after I called them out on it. Why do cis people feel so entitled? They get told they're being disrespectful or hurtful or that they're making people uncomfortable, and they just immediately, reflexively have to make up some sophistry for why they actually Don't have to respect trans people's wishes, needs and boundaries After All!
i love these types because there is nothing at all subtle about them but they always think they're being slick with their deflections. like no, sorry, i fundamentally do not believe that they are out there dying on the hill of calling their office buddy jim "jimbo". it's not happening. but the instant a trans person has an opinion on how they'd like to be referred to it's "b-b-but i've been calling people dude since i was first incarnated in ancient sumeria! it's literally my culture, this is genocide!!!"
unlimited bullying on incistent cissies. make them beg for the
