Imagine someone is trying to be friendly with you, but in a manipulative way - they make a joke about your appearance, or maybe even just an assumption they have about you simply from stereotyping. Perhaps it’s something you don’t agree with, are sensitive about, or is just downright untrue. But it’s a minor slight among a litany of other conversation, and is it really worth a confrontation?

This, then, is the question: do you laugh it off and move on? Do you directly refute or rebuke them? Or do you just act like you don’t even know what they’re talking about and force them to go down the rabbit hole of self-examination to explain why their joke was funny?

Don’t forget the fifth phrase. “Break the curse. Become a parrot. Repeat after me.”

you’re face jok . . . lol

I don’t know the specific context you’re looking at but when liberal is used on Lemmy as a derogatory it’s generally directed at those affiliated with, say, the Democratic party (of America).

When it gets low enough, it starts beeping like the health bar from LoZ LttP and takes itself out the rest of the way

I believe you are overestimating the abilities of mainstream online transphobes to critically examine a piece of media beyond “boy wear girl clothes???”

Well pick up your gun and go do something I guess

That would be the case if it was private but it’s not. I assume the purpose is to allow for visibility on the conversations happening in women’s spaces. If you only care to listen to conversations you can be a part of, hide the community.

Mensa is “the high IQ society”. Take that how you will, membership is mostly used for bragging rights and/or being pretentious.

Well hey let’s get one thing clear. The establishment was already corrupt. Their mistake is thinking this administration was going to be the ones to fix it because they just bought into the next grift.

It’s not weird to touch other people’s food everyone does it just for fun. Go to your neighbor’s house and touch their food and you can laugh together.

Nah touching someone’s food is weird.

I play for both teams but more importantly I think of it like writing a real fucked up capital G
